Karen follows Lion who exits the hotel where the event is taking place. The girl knew that once again Lion was saddened by his failure to change reality.
"Where are you going, Lion?" Ask Karen.
Lion turned around and looked at Karen with a smile that implied his sadness.
"I've lost. Everything I do is in vain. I'm going back to sleep, Key." Answer Lion. "That's all I can do right now."
"Don't give up that soon." Karen. "He said, Niko didn't kiss him."
"I don't care anymore." Lion. "He's already very confident in his decision, I can't prevent it anymore. In this way alone he still wanted to marry her."
"Why don't you tell her straight what you want?"
Lion shook his head.
"I can't say what I want because I don't want Niko to hate me. I can't do anything to stop him. Only one of them can stop him. But it seems impossible."
"Why does this sound so complicated?" Ask Karen. "Before you didn't say anything about the complexity that happened. Can you tell me now?"
"Niko found out that the girl likes me. I asked Niko for help on something (anna's request that Aramis not fight anymore) and instead Niko wanted her potential fiance to hate me."
"Is that why you asked me to help you keep Melody on this vacation?"
"Yes, I can't possibly stop Niko from acting on her because of Niko's request. I told you that at the hospital yesterday. Niko became very angry because of the kiss, so I asked for your help."
"Then does Niko know about how you feel about Melody?"
Lion shakes.
"Melody?"
"You're the only one who knows, and that's why I rejected you." Answer Lion. "I don't want them both to know. Especially Niko. I don't want him to hate me."
"Is your relationship with Niko so important?"
"Very important." Answer Lion.
"What girl do you like doesn't matter?"
"It can't be unimportant. I even lost my friend because of him. But I don't want to lose my friend again."
"Which is more important, Niko or Melody?"
Lion shakes. "I couldn't choose, so I said only one of them could stop him so I wouldn't lose both."
"Then you have to tell Melody, let her stop it." Karen. "It's the only way you can't lose both."
"No Key, Niko will still hate me and I'll lose her if I tell Melody the truth. It was the same as breaking Niko's request. He had to stop it for other reasons not because of me. But even my plan to reunite Niko with her ex-fiance failed, and she still wants to marry Niko."
"Gosh, this is so complicated. Lion, sometimes you have to take off one thing to get another." Karen was very upset.
Lion shook his head. "I would rather lose myself than lose one of them."
Lion steps away leaving Karen who is not exhausted by hearing the complexity of the relationship of the three people.
"Lion." Call Karen to Lion to ask him one thing he wants to know. "When did you like it?"
"I don't know, it's been going on for a long time. Even long before I understood and called what I felt to her this was love." Lion replied without looking over and after that walked away.
Seeing the departure of Lion made Karen to be let out her tears. He knew very well what the young man was feeling at this moment. Although the girl liked Lion, but she knew her love was nothing compared to the love that had grown so long ago for Melody.
"I shouldn't cry for the man I love for his suffering because of the girl he loves." Karen wiped her tears. "I should be glad to see her suffering because she has rejected me. But why does it feel like I don't have the heart to see his sadness?"
...***...
Upon returning from the birthday party, Lion leaves and does not come back to the mansion with Niko, Melody and Karen. Karen told them both that Lion went home first because there was something.
"You have any business, Lion, until you leave us first?" Tanya Niko who was in her room in the mansion called Lion.
"There's a friend of mine who needs help." Lion answered who was already on the plane.
"Whose friend? Is it really important?"
Niko laughs at Lion's answer that she believes Lion is lying.
"Just like that? Where's the important part?"
"The dog is pregnant, and my friend doesn't know who did it. That's why he's so worried about his dog."
"Yes, okay." Niko ended the call.
Lion took a breath and massaged his forehead for a moment because at this moment his head hurt. He leaned back into the business class chair he was riding in. The plane has not taken off because it is still waiting for time.
He took his cell phone back to contact someone.
"I don't know who to tell this to. I just thought about you. Do you want to hear a fairy tale?" Ask Lion.
"Yes, I've been waiting for him for a long time." Answer someone on the phone.
"I'm confused where to start. All I know is that this is attacking me without me noticing. Ever since I was a child I knew him and we were always together even though he always did as he pleased me, I never had any problem with him. As long as he doesn't cry anything I'll do. He asked for this it, said ketus, blamed me for everything, never even considered everything I did for him, for me it doesn't matter."
Lion held his breath for a moment.
"I always feel guilty if he gets hurt or cries. When I hurt her when I heard her telling me to pedal my bike really fast and we ended up falling, I felt guilty that I wasn't protecting her until she was badly hurt. When Mario and Bara hurt him because of the incident back then, I felt guilty for not accompanying him to the competition, and when Felix tried to touch him, he said, I feel guilty for doing as I please just to bother him to keep him from calling me when Felix walks into his room. It's all made me feel guilty up to gospel."
"At first I was happy because we ended up dating but Niko came up with all the hassle. I swore to him for Ars, I'd obey Niko's wishes so that Niko would make the penance agreement with Ars. Then Niko asked me to help her approach her, I who still felt guilty for losing my friend, did not want to lose my friend again until I agreed, besides that I was also bound by the oath I made. I was very sad when she had to give up her dream of getting married to Niko. I feel guilty and want to fix everything. But I'm late."
"She even told me she'd be looking for her own happiness with Niko. I can't do anything anymore. Niko I already thought of as my brother, even he wanted to help me so Ars wouldn't fight anymore, even though instead Niko who knew that she liked me asked me to make her hate me. I also agree. Niko is very poor, she lost everything because of what Ars did, her dreams and her first love."
"I've been thinking about my last way to get her to stop everything, which is to meet Niko with her first love again. But it turns out for him it's not a problem. Even after seeing her would-be fiancee kissing her former fiance, she still went on with it all."
"I think now I'm going to sleep. I'll start living in my dreams from now on." Said Lion with a trembling voice. "I've always denied my feelings and assured me I'll be fine. But the more I deny I'm the more sure what I feel is love. I love Melody. Yeah, I loved her so much that I can't hold her anymore. Losing her is like losing the other side of me."
"Because the reason a lot of things are on me is him. All this time the reason I wore white was because it was her favorite color, the reason I didn't mind being told this was by her family because I loved her, the reason I always came every time she called me because I always wanted to be there for her, I never even kept another woman's number and didn't want another woman to ride Megan, all because of her. But why did she never notice it when everyone else noticed it? We were together for a dozen years and he just liked me. Isn't that weird? He liked Felix even more than I had always been by his side. He was even more kind to Niko than he was to me who always put himself first and that happened when he started liking me. This feels weird to me. What's wrong with me even though I've never been considered by him?"
Tears shot out from Lion's eyes, showing how sad the young man was at the moment.
"I hope you forget everything I just said, because it's so embarrassing." Lion wiped his tears.
"Yes, I'll forget it after surgery." Anna answered on the other end of the phone. "Lion, you still have one way."
