LAST GREETINGS

Episode 72 - 2

^^^"Okay, I feel like Mike is always around me. Follow me wherever I go."^^^

Tania went straight to the cafe Kevin and Mega after work. This time he really wanted to meet his two best friends. He wants to tell her about all the strange events that recently left him confused and feeling that Mike is still alive.

Tania immediately pushed open the door of the cafe after she got there. He did not care about the shocked gazes of some visitors who were enjoying their dishes. Tania immediately meets Mega and Kevin who are busy.

"I don't know where to start. But... I need you guys. You guys should know this... ."

"Tan, calm down. You drink first yeah, just tell me." Mega gives Tania a glass of mineral water and codes Kevin to leave her busyness for a while and meet them both.

Tania downed a glass of mineral water that Mega gave and took a deep breath. His eyes were clearly about to drop tears.

"You have to tell me if I'm wrong, or it's time to let Mike go."

Mega and Kevin exchanged looks. Confused, not yet understanding what Tania was saying. Kevin then took a seat at Tania's side, stroked her back and hugged her best friend's lover.

"There's me and Mega here. You're not alone, Tania. Whatever you do, we can't blame you. It's hard for you but you don't have to be too long in losing."

Kevin's words immediately made Tania cry. Mega could not bear to see it, he then hugged Tania. He and Kevin are really Tania's last backers at the moment for everything that has happened since Mike's departure.

"I hugged him. That man, I don't know where I met him, when I first met him, but I feel very close to him. I feel like he was in my life. I feel so comfortable in his arms."

Tania started her story while wiping away the tears that had run down her cheeks. Mega and Kevin still seem confused, not understanding Tania's story. One thing they believed in together was that Tania had met a man.

"Name Nathan. I accidentally met him. She hugged me. I returned his embrace. Everything happened so fast. I don't know what's going on between us but I feel comfort as he hugs me. I feel familiar with him."

Mega and Kevin were silent. Mutual glances. Alternately. They let Tania tell her everything.

"Let's see, I feel like Mike's always around me. Follow me wherever I go."

Kevin seemed to want to say something about what he was thinking after Tania said the last sentence. Could Nathan be Mike's reincarnation?

"I want to get out of this. I don't want to continue to be haunted by my guilt for Mike" Tania said again with a whim.

"Hey, hey, Tania, you have to be sincere. Mike is gone. You have the right to go on with your life without constantly thinking about it as if Mike were still around" Kevin quickly cut. Tania just lowered her head to hear what Kevin had just said.

Tania is heartbroken when she realizes once again that Mike is no longer. He wanted to cry and scream. Mike's gone, then who is he that feels like Mike?

Tania answered nothing. So does Kevin. What Mega said has a point. What if it's true that Nathan is Mike who's back to continue together with Mega?

"I'm sorry I interrupted your busy life. I don't have anyone anymore now. I really don't know what to do. Right now, I only felt guilty for Mike after I bravely hugged the man I had just met on the street. I really feel like I betrayed Mike."

Tania again shed her tears. Taking a loved one for granted, erasing everything about him, feels like the hardest sin. His heart was completely broken. He himself was not entirely sure of his feelings at this moment. Is Nathan really Mike? Is Mike really back in Nathan?

Mega immediately stood up and left Tania and Kevin. There is a visitor who just came in and wanted to order something so he had to serve his guest.

"Tania, I didn't mean to ask you to forget Mike. But it would be nice if you opened your heart to Nathan. Let him fill your days. After hearing your story, I'm sure Nathan is Mike's reincarnation. Believe not, reincarnation exists. And I'm sure Nathan is Mike."

Kevin tried to convince Tania. Not a word came out of his mouth. He doubted what Kevin said.

"Trust me. It's a temporary best option for now until you know the truth about Nathan."

Kevin patted Tania gently on the shoulder and asked her to stop being sad. Tania wiped her tears again and tried to smile.

"Thank you, Vin. Sorry to interrupt the busyness of the two of you" Tania said after smiling.

"It's okay. You're not alone. We will always be there for you. Until whenever."

The two then hugged. Tania is lucky to still have a friend Mike who is still concerned about his circumstances and mood. He can't imagine what it would be like if there were no Kevin and Mega.

"So, should I accept Nathan and get to know more about him?" asked Tania again after hugging Kevin. Kevin just gave a smile and a small nod.

But Tania's eyes did not look at the smile and nod that Kevin gave. His eyes did not move at all. His eyes did not blink. His gaze was suddenly fixed on the figure of the man who was stepping about to enter the cafe area.

From behind the glass, Tania saw very clearly. The man wore a white T-shirt that read "Amor Vincit Omnia" in Latin, meaning "Love Beats Everything", black trousers and white shoes.

Kevin turned around and found out who made Tania's eyes not blink at all. And it's true, as he suspected that Mike was reincarnated. He felt like he knew the man. Real close. Kevin turned around again looking at Tania and played his tail full of question marks.

"Nathan?"

Tania and Kevin both mentioned the name. The man they just talked about actually showed up. The man whose presence makes Tania even more hurt and feel guilty for Mike. This time he actually appeared before the three of them. Actually, who's Nathan?
