"Don't hide anything from me, no matter how small. I already love you."

The twilight had passed away leaving peerless tired for Tania. It was a really tiring day for him - after being busy with his college affairs, he had to be kept busy again to keep his heart and his feelings in check.

Honesty is something that is mandatory but it cannot be denied, there is a heart that will be injured afterwards. Especially if it is a matter of feeling.

Tania could not close her eyes despite almost an hour of hard struggle to close her eyes - hoping that the tiredness she felt today could make her sleep in an instant so that she could forget for a moment her heart problems.

"I'm sorry, I've been wishing for you even though you weren't my boyfriend at the time. I have hurt your heart."

What Mike had said, his lover was still very clearly ringing in his ear. How can the man who is now in the cubicle of his heart, who has managed to grow love in his heart, still be in touch with his ex-lover ?

"I admit wrong. I should have kept your feelings in check and didn't meet her back then because I was waiting for the time to express my feelings for you. I'm sorry, Tania."

Without realizing it, slowly one by one his tears began to drip down his cheeks. Tania tightly hugs the panda doll for her birthday gift.

Right now, all he could do was cry. He doesn't know what to do. She wants him to end his relationship with Mike, which is only a few months old, but he does it hard; he has loved the man with his heart.

Instantly the shadow of Mega, his best friend slips into his mind. Without thinking once twice, Tania grabbed her phone, played her finger on her android screen and searched for Mega's name on her whatsapp contacts.

"Hello, Tania. What's up ? You haven't slept ?"

Mega's question got no answer from Tania. All that was heard was the sound of sobs from Tania.

Mega knew very well, Tania was sad because of what Mike had done. Tania probably knew it, he thought.

"What's wrong with you, Tania ? You're okay, aren't you ?" tanya Mega pretends not to know.

"I'm fine, Mega. But my heart is not being kind" Tania replied gently after a long silence.

Tania doesn't know where to start telling Mega, her best friend. He wiped his tears, took a deep breath and tried to calm himself for a moment.

"I didn't think Mike would do this to me" Tania continued. This time Mega went silent letting Tania talk.

"I already loved him. But why would Mike do this to me ?"

"Widow is pregnant ?" cut Mega.

"Do you know that already ?" ask Tania quickly.

"I'm sorry, Tania. I didn't mean to keep this a secret from you, but I hate Mike. Ever since I heard it, I decided not to contact her again. In college, I always avoid it" explained Mega.

"I don't know if I should hate him or not at all" Tania said slowly.

"The widow was pregnant with Mike's child ?" ask Mega again.

It was clear that there was regret in Tania. Had Mike chosen to cover this up and not told Tania what happened between Mike and Laura, Tania would not have felt betrayed like this.

But it must be admitted the honest attitude that Mike did - not all men are the same as himself, right ?

Although it would be painful for Tania, Mike still chose to tell Tania. She was well aware Tania would definitely feel sad. Lucky that her ex-lover was only late for the month and Tania still forgives her.

If it were not the case, she might not be Tania's boyfriend anymore - Tania might end their relationship immediately.

"Then, you forgive him ?" tanya Mega broke the silence.

"What do I do, Mega ? I already love him."

Both friends were silent. Serba is wrong. Choosing to endure or sacrificing feelings. What Mike did was long before Tania became his girlfriend.

"Hopefully Mike is no longer in touch with the widow," continued Mega again still with the word widow attached to his mind - a sense of annoyance and disappointment still imprinted when he first heard Mike's confession.

"I hope so too. I forgive him not because I'm stupid, but because I appreciate his honesty. Besides, he did it before he became my lover."

"I'm sure Mike will change. Trust me, Tania."

This time Mega also fell. There was no more anger in him. Mike did the right thing. He honestly admitted what he had done with the girl of his past.

Tania re-hugged her pandas after saying thank you and turned off her phone. He quickly opened the gallery and looked at Mike's photo.

"Don't hide anything from me, no matter how small. I already love you" whispered Tania.

* * * * *

Just like what Tania did, Mike did. There, he could not close his eyes.

Tania's disappointed countenance upon hearing her confession still continued to loom over her. He knew very well Tania was disappointed with his honesty but he had no other choice.

His love for Tania grew even bigger. He waited until a few months after confirming that Laura was only late for the month.

He shouldn't have to say this to Tania, but he's sure Mega won't say this to Tania. He knows very well who Mega is, the girl who used to love him very much.

Mike grabs the phone, tries to call Tania but she undoes her intentions. He did not want to disturb Tania who was currently injured because of her honesty.

"I'm sorry, Tania. I'm telling you this because I love you. I just want you to know what I've done before I became your lover so there's nothing I'm hiding from you. Ii'm sorry. I love you," muttered Mike.

He tried to close his eyes but he could not do it. Mike got up from his bed, walked to the dispenser and took a glass of water. Perhaps a glass of water could calm his mind so that he could close his eyes tonight.

If honesty still hurts someone, what about lies ?

It was her growing love for Tania that forced her to honestly tell what had happened between herself and Laura, her now widowed ex-lover and taking care of her own daughter.

He had promised himself that he would keep Tania's feelings. He will no longer be in touch with his past which will only harm his relationship with Tania.

Laura has said that let everything pass and become a memory. He appreciates Mike's decision to no longer contact him.
