"After this what will happen again ? Do you think I'll give up ? No. gabe. I said it wouldn't happen because I love you so much."

No conversation along the way. There was also no hug like usual from Tania. He sat away, sculpted and chose silence without a word behind his lover.
Mike focused on riding his motorcycle but his mind was not necessarily direction, he was terrified and guessing what would happen after this when they arrived at the Tania boarding house.
Everything is clear. There should be no more fear in Tania that she will lose Mike. Mike has boldly said his choice and it was the right choice.
"It is better to love someone who loves you than to love someone who does not necessarily love you."
Mike stopped his motorcycle. Tania got off the motorcycle and just left without saying anything. But in his heart, he hoped Mike would prevent it.
"Tania, wait."
Tania stopped and turned to look at Mike. What he hoped would actually happen, Mike held him back.
"Park your bike and get in" Tania said firmly. Mike just kept quiet and obeyed Tania's orders. He doesn't care if he can go inside and Tania will get a reprimand for letting herself into her dorm room.
Tania opens the door and lets Mike in first and she closes the door immediately.
"Can I come in here ? You'll be scolded,,,"
"I don't care," Tania cut quickly.
Tania put down her bag and stood in front of Mike. He looked into Mike's eyes very sharply. Mike just silently looked at Tania's behavior which suddenly became very brave.
"After this what will happen again ? Do you think I'll give up ? No. gabe. I said it wouldn't happen because I love you so much" Tania said gently and hugged Mike very tightly.
Mike did not believe Tania's courage but slowly, he returned the hug of his lover. He let Tania pour out all her heart in his arms and gently landed a warm kiss on Tania's head.
Tania raised her head, looked at Mike and then gently hit his lover's chest.
"I love you, Mike."
Mike was silent not to say a word. He stared intently into the eyes of his beloved. Her hand moved swiftly stroking Tania's hair, and once again landed a friendly kiss yet this time right on her lover's lips.
Tania sighed softly. Mike can feel the heartbeat of his lover, as well as Tania's grip on his arm.
"I'm not playing around with this relationship, Tania. I want you."
Tania shed her tears - moved - after hearing once again Mike's confession.
"I've let you go, Laura. Let me choose who will accompany me later. Don't force me to love you again. I don't want to leave Tania. I love her."
The difference may be that Laura has left Mike without a message. But it did not take away Laura's love for her. For years he harbored that feeling alone until he accidentally met Mike again.
They also proved the feelings they had that they still loved each other. Their meeting a few months ago has answered everything.
But Mike did all of that because he had to. He could not help himself being alone with Laura in the room where Laura was staying. Laura might be sincere about doing that because she still wants Mike.
"I'm sorry, Laura. You should be able to forget me. I can't go back and get into your life anymore..."
"Is it because I am a widow with one child ? Mike, I'm willing to make the decision to leave my husband because I want to make amends for you. Lookingforyou. I waited for you. Our meeting here a few months ago for me was a wonderful plan from God. I thought I'd come back to have you so I could bravely give myself to you."
Tania still continued to imagine what had happened at their meeting just now. He did not expect Laura to boldly say everything in front of him. He knew Laura still had a very big desire to get Mike back.
"Forget it, Laura. You have to be happy and accept all this fact that you and I are not destined to have each other. I'm not going to change my choice and I'm not going to play around with my current relationship with Tania."
Again Tania shed her tears - re-imagining the words of Mike who confidently chose her. He leaned his head against Mike's chest. Both of his hands tightly wrapped up Mike's body.
"Thank you for proving your love to me, Mike."
Mike said nothing. He let Tania hug herself very tightly. Her hands gently caressed Tania's hair which decomposed backwards.
"I love you, Mike. I love you," Tania said once again. Spontaneously, Mike wiped away Tania's tears wetting her cheeks. Then again he landed a kiss on the girl's head.
Tania raised her head and spoiledly looked into Mike's eyes.
"Don't leave me, Mike."
Still with a calm attitude and not saying anything, Mike lowered his head and kissed Tania's lips. Tania didn't dodge it. He let Mike do that and slowly returned Mike's kiss.
Tania's grip tightened on Mike's arm, Tania's breath was clearly felt, plus Tania's soft sigh made Mike even more unable to hold himself.

Mike put the phone down and put his body into the bed. He re-imagined everything that had happened today. A moment flashed through her mind the figure of her past girl, Laura, who had very boldly come back for her sake.
He could not bear to leave Laura and had absolutely no intention of hurting the girl's feelings. What Laura felt at this moment was her own fault. The heartache Laura felt today was not as painful as what Mike felt back then when Laura passed away without a message and forcibly married a rich man's son.
For years he tried to forget Laura but the time to find them back by accident.
"Mike, will you be friends with me ?"
Laura's question still haunts Mike's mind. He did not hate that girl. He stopped his steps when Laura suddenly asked him that.
"I've let you go, Laura. Be happy. We have to move on with each other's lives and we don't have to hate each other."
Mike hugged his pillow tightly and unnoticed, he slept until almost midnight. He went through a day that was really exhausting himself and also his relationship with Tania.
He only woke up when his stomach was hungry. He quickly got out of bed, grabbed his phone and realized it was almost ten. There was a message and a missed call from Kevin.
