MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
113. NEW COUPLE

Melody opened the door of the house when someone pressed the bell. Mona came with her big bag. Melody stared at the girl's presence with her trademark smileless and cold face.

"Come in, Oto's already told me about you working here." Melody walked in and Mona followed. "I'm sorry before because my words sound like they don't like you."

"Prothos has also explained to me your concern for him. You don't have to worry, I'm just here to make money for no other purpose."

Melody nodded in response.

"Sir Oto said that you could use his room. He'll temporarily wear Ato's room. When Ato's brother recovers, he will use Ars's room, and Ars's brother will move to Anna's room in the house across from him. Ars has also slept there many times."

Mona laughed a little at that. Because what Melody said was a bit confusing for her.

"Is there no other room?" Ask Mona. "What you said just now is very confusing and sounds very troublesome to them."

"There's a room in the back, actually it's a room for a housekeeper and it's very small in size, but we use it as a warehouse." Answer Melody.

"Let me just use that room. Where is it located?" Ask Mona.

Melody escorted Mona to the back of the house to her room. In the room a lot of stuff piled up and there was a sewing machine belonging to Athos too.

"The door has long been broken so it can't be locked from the inside. It's also too much stuff piling up." Excited Melody. "Is it okay to use this room?"

"Who sewed? Why is there a sewing machine here?" Ask Mona wonder.

"Sir Ato, he likes sewing." Answer Melody.

Mona is surprised and makes her even more amazed at Athos. He likes to design clothes and wants to be able to sew too because he was amazed at Athos' ability.

"I'll clean this room and put it on. For the sewing machine it does not matter if it is in this room. For a while can I wear it?"

"Please wear it. Sis Ato probably won't wear it again in a long time." Answer Melody. "I'll tell Mr. Oto to buy you a bed. I hope it comes today too."

"All right, I'll clean this place up. Do you want to eat now? I'll cook first, it's eleven o'clock."

"I'll eat with Niko." Answer Melody. "Mona, I mean brother Mona..."

"No need, you can just call me Mona" Mona smiled.

"Sir Oto asked me to be friends with you. But I find it hard to start a friendship with anyone, so I hope you understand."

Mona smiled, "I understand your nature. You don't have to force yourself to be close to me."

"Well, I'll leave you because I'll be gone any minute. Currently being tested is likely soon Oto will go home. I hope you're here, Mona."

...***...

"How are your hands, Niko?" Melody asked as they were on their way to the mall.

Niko still uses a driver to drive her wherever she goes because her knife-pierced left hand is still not healed.

"It's not healed yet." Reply Niko who is sitting to the right of Melody. "It still hurts because the seams were open."

"open sewing? When did that happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it was swimming yesterday the day after tomorrow, actually it still should not be exposed to water, anti-water plaster regardless at that time."

"Why didn't you tell me back then?" Look Melody.

"On the way to the hospital to see Lion, I told you. You didn't respond, apparently because you were so worried about Lion that you didn't hear me complain of pain." Answer Niko. "But after that I checked so there's no need to worry anymore."

Melody recalled the moment after she saw Lion and kissed him, when Niko was just outside the IGD room waiting for her when she came out. After that, Niko did not take her home and asked the driver who drove her. Melody did not ask him anything about the reason that did not take her and immediately complied. The girl felt bad for Niko at this moment.

"I'm sorry, Niko." Melody did not dare to look at Niko because she felt guilty.

"It's okay, for me it's not important." Niko smiles even though the young man was disappointed at that time. "Well, since we're going on vacation to the beach, I really hope you'll buy a bikini."

"Sir Oto warned me about it. I don't intend to swim either." Melody replied as she looked out the car door window. "To be honest I don't like the beach, I don't feel safe in that place."

"When you're with me you'll be safe." Niko said with a smile even though Melody did not see it.

Melody was surprised to see the appearance of Lion wearing unusual clothes. Lion wears a patterned yellow shirt that is not pocketed, and in it a black shirt, the same as shorts below the knee that is also black. Lion changed the style of his clothes to make the girl initially did not think that he was Lion, the young man he still loved.

"You're going to shop too?" Karen asked as Niko called her.

"Yes, we're going to buy a lot for our engagement." Answer Niko.

Melody only noticed the Lion standing before her, and Lion knew that. But Lion was cold by not looking at the girl.

"Come on Key, I'm hungry, we'll eat first." Lion embraced Karen.

Melody was surprised to see the Lion embrace Karen. The two of them were much more familiar today. Seeing her made Melody feel jealous.

"We will also eat first, we plan to eat at a Japanese restaurant, how about we—"

"You want to eat Thai food, right, Key? Then let's go there, before the place is full." The Lion exclaimed cutting off Melody's words.

"Sorry, we're going first." Karen.

Lion immediately invites Karen who he embraced walk away from Melody and Niko. For a moment Melody looked at Lion's departure and felt something strange about Lion's attitude towards him.

"We also have to be fast because it's lunchtime." Exclaimed Niko who watched Melody continue as Lion cut off the girl's words earlier. "You heard me, right?"

Melody turned to Niko and nodded.

Melody was still thinking about Lion's cold attitude when he ate with Niko. He felt Lion behaving the same way as when Niko approached him. Whereas before Lion said he would act ordinary to her. At first the girl thought that Lion was like that because of the effects of a mild concussion, but somehow Lion just behaved like that only to him and not to the others.

"What's up, baby? You keep daydreaming and don't eat your food."

"I'm full. Suddenly I felt full." Melody replied putting the chopsticks she was holding onto her bowl of food that was still fully filled.

"Is something bothering you?" Look Niko.

"I feel like Lion is going through a change." Melody answered honestly. "Did you feel it too, Niko?"

"I think you're right. Anyone will change when they are already dating a girl they like. Slowly the girl he's dating will change that."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you know? The two of them are already dating, Lion and Karen."

Melody was surprised to hear Niko's words.
