"Me and my breath miss you."

Mike's ready at the picket table. He tried to forget all his personal problems that were haunting his mind today in order to be able to focus on his work today.
The new time was at exactly 10:35 when the voice of a girl greeting Mike who was walking drove a hotel guest to the reception desk.
"Mike,,,"
Mike's steps stopped instantly. He looked back and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Sorry sir, the receptionist is there. I just got here, yeah," Mike suddenly told a guest he was with to the reception desk.
"Thank you" the guest answered briefly.
Mike turned his back and walked slowly to the girl who was still standing waiting for him.
"Hay, how are you ? You busy ?" ask the girl quickly.
Mike is still tight-lipped. He still could not believe what he was seeing at the moment. The girl was actually in front of him at this moment.
"Oh, hay. I'm good," Mike replied half nervously as he extended his hand and shook hands with the girl.
Mike was silent, and so was the girl. They just look at each other. A nervous look ruled Mike. It's been a mistake. Just yesterday he promised to no longer be in touch with the girl of his past but this morning, the girl stood up again right in front of him.
"What's wrong with you, Mike ? Are you afraid to meet me ?" ask the girl to throw Mike's daydream.
"Oh, no. Hehehe," answered Mike accordingly. It is undeniable, he is nervous.
"I have business here so I'm back."
Laura looked at Mike sharply. Sentence clear. Mike's heart was beating very fast.
"Why do I have to be here again ?" mike murmured in his heart while trying to look relaxed in front of Laura.
"Sorry, I have to go back there. Welcome back to our hotel and welcome to duty" Mike said gently as his index finger pointed toward his picket table.
Laura just stared at Mike. Not a word came out of his mouth to respond to the words of his former lover.
"Mike,,,"
Mike's steps came to a halt when he walked a few steps away from Laura. He looked back and looked at Laura. His heart was beating very fast again.
"Don't avoid me. Will you be my sahabt ?"
Laura immediately turned her back and walked into the hotel, leaving Mike still confused by what he had just heard. Laura's not waiting for Mike's answer.
Tania has learned of her relationship with Laura, as well as about their meeting at this hotel. He has promised to no longer be in touch with his former lover but what is currently happening in front of him forces him to have to do something so that he no longer meets the girl of his past.
"I have to leave for a few days while Laura is here" he murmured.
* * * * *
Mike broke his body and closed his eyes. The shadows on Laura's face and Tania's face took turns filling her mind.
The toughest challenge in her life for now is the figure of Laura who suddenly appeared in front of her. She has promised to break off her relationship with Laura in order to keep Tania feeling.
He flipped his body - agitated, thinking about what was currently challenging him.
"I have to see Tania right now," he muttered for a moment.
Mike grabbed his phone, played his finger for a moment on the phone screen and then moved from his bed to the bathroom. He had sent a whatsapp message to Laura to meet him.
"Me and my breath miss you. I want to see you.I'll pick you up in a few minutes."
Mike had been getting ready to leave his boarding yard, riding his motorcycle towards Laura's residence.
For a moment there was no shadow of the girl of his past. What he was thinking about right now was to focus on improving his relationship with Tania.
Tania had been waiting for him there when Mike arrived in front of his hostel. Not wanting to linger there, they immediately went to the park of ordinary places - silent witnesses of all their love stories.
There - still on the same bench - Mike and Tania sat facing each other. As someone has arranged, every time they visit the park, the bench they often sit on is always empty.
"You think ?"
Mike just stared at Tania's face. Slowly, he grabbed Tania's hand and held her affectionately.
"I'm sorry, Tania,,,"
"I forgave you long before you apologized. Don't say that again," cut Tania quickly.
Mike just took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
"Then let's talk about our relationship. I want to marry you soon" said Mike quickly in a feisty tone.
Tania just kept quiet, then laughed cynically.
"Don't be in a hurry" Tania said softly while laughing.
"I'm not kidding. I apologize for my mistake, but you say you forgive me. Then what else ? I don't want us to be just dating. I want to have you."
Mike sounded outspoken but what he said was really serious from his heart.
"You're okay, aren't you ?" ask Tania sharply.
"I'm fine."
They were silent for a moment. Tania looked at him sharply, Mike looked nervous with Tania's gaze.
"I want to be yours, Mike. But I feel you're in too much of a hurry. We've only been in this relationship for a few months,,,"
"You love me, don't you ?"
"Yes, I love you,,,"
"Then, what are you afraid of ?"
Tania took her breath and slowly exhaled. He looked very calm, in contrast to Mike who looked riled up and excited.
"Living in a household is not easy. We are still young. Focus first on what we want to achieve right now. If you are destined to be mine, you will not belong to anyone else" Tania explained calmly.
Mike lowered his head slowly, his hand he took off Tania's hand and pretended to play with her hair.
He realized at this moment he was in an unsettled inner situation. Laura returns and stays at the hotel where she works when she has promised to stay away from Laura and focus on mending her relationship with Tania.
Tania simply smiled seeing the change that was happening to Mike. He mocked and asked Mike to joke. He knew his lover was in a chaotic mood.
"Is it because you still feel guilty to me that you did this ? I'm fine, Mike. Provided you promise not to disappoint me," Inner Tania.
"How's mom doing ?" tanya Tania was trying to melt Mike's mood.
"Praise God, healthy mother. He's waiting for his son-in-law and grandson, hehehe" said Mike in a joking tone. Tania laughed too.
"I'll be done in a minute, Mike. Next month I'm in a thesis."
"Oh, huh ? Success yes. Quickly so that I can propose to you immediately" said Mike quickly. Tania just laughed a little.
"Mike, do you seriously want to quickly be together with me ?"
Tania begins to believe that Mike is not playing around - he has repeatedly said the same thing. Tania tried to make sure again, whether because of her chaotic mood or Mike really wanted to have her fully.
"Do I look like I'm playing around ?" ask Mike sharply.
"Then what about your college ?" Tania asked back.
"Easy, calm down. After having you I'll continue my studies again."
Tania then shut up. He began to believe Mike really seriously wanted to have it fully.
"After your graduation, ask your parents to stay. I'll call my mom to come and we'll get married here. After that, you're looking for a job and I'll continue working while continuing my studies."
Assertively. Evidently. Mike's words are clear and clear. For Tania, it sounds like a proof that Mike is the type of man who is assertive and responsible but actually, Mike is trying to hide the atmosphere of his heart at this time.
What he said was true that he wanted Tania but in his little heart, Laura's presence made him uneasy. He chose to keep it a secret this time. He won't tell Tania that he will be off for the next few days.
What Mike is thinking about right now is making amends and trying to convince Tania.
