MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
012. MUTUALLY LOVED

As usual every Saturday or Sunday, after the morning run, Prothos will meet Widia at her apartment. Usually they will learn by trying to answer questions in preparation for the Prothos graduation exam.

"You know teacher, right now my grades are really very good. I'm sure that if I learn a little more I'll beat Ato and rank first." Prothos.

"Learn more then." Widia Smile.

"If you know Ato who rarely learns makes me very upset. Whereas compared to him I study more often, I always look for opportunities when there is free time to learn but why Ato who always has perfect value. He's a real genius."

"really? I thought he was a bookworm."

Prothos. That's all to assume wrong. Many people think like that about the twin but in fact it is a big mistake.

"You want me to tell you one secret about her, teacher?" Look Prothos. "Actually before dating his girlfriend now, Ato deliberately made a nerdy impression on anyone because he didn't want any women to approach him. He was very stiff and allergic to women. He was afraid to connect with a woman. But now she has changed since dating Tasya. He's getting cool, yeah even if it's not as cool as me."

Widia laughed at Prothos' words.

"But I think Aramis is the coolest among you."

"Why is that?" Prothus's sharp gaze was irritated with jealousy.

"Every woman would say she's cool because she's made certain things about her relationship with Anna."

Prothos was silent at Widia's words. Somehow he felt insinuated by the girl's words.

"I didn't mean anything. You don't think anything." Said Widia holding Prothos' arm.

Prothos immediately pulled her up and kissed her lover. But somehow, the young man suddenly recalled Wilda's kiss yesterday, and felt the difference. The girl's kiss was already very impregnating for her. Prothos began to be influenced by the girl's kiss even though he was currently enjoying the lips of his own lover.

Prothos immediately stopped kissing Widia feeling guilty. He threw his face away and did not dare to look at his lover.

"What's wrong?" Widia asked looking at Prothos expression who looked annoyed after kissing her.

"It's okay." Prothos Smile.

Wilda's kiss affects him now, Prothos feels so guilty that while kissing his lover he instead remembers another girl's kiss and compares it.

"Widi, I love you so much." Prothos hugged Widia.

...***...

Lion dressed in all white rode on a horse that was also white, while Niko on the contrary, he wore all black clothes and with a dark horse as well. They chase each other and race their horses together

It was not long before they got off their horses each after nearly two hours of riding them.

"Sorry Toni, I've been visiting you for a long time." Said Lion stroking his seven-year-old horse. "You know? My Megan was stolen, now I have no one. Can you accompany me? Wherever I ride you."

Niko just laughed at the Lion's ravings while stroking and hugging his horse. Lion's strange behavior is no longer denied by anyone.

The two of them walked out of the horse riding area together after stopping their riding session.

"We'd better marry them. Toni and Deborah, my horse." Niko. "Let's really be brothers."

"I'm sorry, Toni doesn't like older women." Lion replied, squinting his eyes at Niko.

"You're insinuating Nausha?"

"I'm not insinuating anyone." Answer Lion. "I also understand what you were talking about. You are outrageous, I am only 16 but forced to date a 23-year-old woman. God, your brother is really a pedophile."

"Then is there a woman you like?" Ask Niko. "Tell me I'll help you."

"There is, but someone has taken it from me." Lion replied after that sighing.

"Who would dare to do it? And who's that woman?"

"Megan." Answer Lion. "Given her, it makes me want to cry again."

"I'm serious, Lion."

"I'm serious too." Lion did not want to lose. "It's all my fault for not being able to take good care of her."

"You can use one of my bikes." Niko hugged Lion. "It looks like I won't be wearing it anymore either because of this left hand of mine."

"Fuck you, Niko!!" Lion looked angry. "After you took it from me, you thought you could just replace it?" Look at the cold Lion.

"What's wrong with you? I don't understand what you're saying."

"I'm sorry, because it's frustrating to lose Megan, I'm kind of thinking to you. I'm guessing you took my Megan, too."

Niko laughed at Lion's rant that sounded very confusing to her.

"Lion, what does that mean by the word too?" Look Niko.

...***...

Prothos returns from Widia's apartment at one o'clock in the afternoon. When he got off the taxi in front of his house, he saw Lion who also just came home after riding with Niko, walking through his house.

"Lion, I hear your bike is gone?" Prothos asked as Lion walked over to him.

"You're right." Answer Lion. "Have not spoken about it again, I was really very sad and wanted to cry when I remembered it. Though I've always taken good care of her all this time, but she's been away from me."

"What did you say?" Ask Prothos. "Are your bike stolen or something?"

"Yes, someone stole it from me for my stupidity." Answer Lion. "I'm losing it so much now."

Prothos digested the word Lion. Everything Lion said wasn't about the bike. He was very sure of that.

Prothos laughed at all the Lion chatter he understood.

"Why are you laughing?" Lion protest is upset. "You're all the same, and I've always helped you, but you're not doing anything right now for me. You should have helped me bring Megan back, and beat up the guy who took her from me, and don't laugh at me."

Prothos was still laughing as he left Lion inside his house.

"Now you're leaving me too!!" Lion was upset.

...***...

Prothos went straight into the room and thought of what was currently troubling his mind upon his return from Widia's place.

With a very guilty feeling Prothos sat on his study desk chair. He looked at Widia's glasses on his desk, he remembered Tasya's words yesterday that said it was as if he was wearing them to match Wilda's glasses. That makes him even more upset.

Prothos immediately put the glasses into his desk drawer and did not intend to wear them again. He didn't want anyone to think the same way Tasya thought.

Drrrttt drrrtt

The phone on the table displays a notification from Wilda. Prothus reluctantly opened it.

A picture of her exiting Widia's apartment building is waiting for a taxi.

I thought you were going straight to my place, brother. Though I hope so because after yesterday's incident I want to continue further with you.

Reading Wilda's message made Prothos even more upset. He did not think at all that the girl with an innocent-looking appearance was actually opposite to the original.

Prothos got one more message from Wilda.

You can come anytime to my place. I'll be waiting for you, brother. I'm sure you wanted to do it with me yesterday.

"That girl is so outrageous!!" Grumpy Prothos.

Suddenly Athos opened the door of Prothus' room without knocking it first. Prothos was surprised by the presence of his twin.

"What's wrong?" Look Prothos.

Athos walked in and sat down on the side of the bed to speak to Prothus.

"Have you bought another cell phone?" Tanya Athos saw a cell phone held by Prothos.

Prothos did not answer he just smiled knotfully.

"What do you think we should do about Melo?" Athos looked at Prothus. "Dad there always called worriedly. She said Melo always texted her and said she misses her so much."

"Thank you who?" Ask Prothos.

"Dad." Athos answered in astonishment at Prothus' question.

Prothos chuckled because he knew the truth. His sister was not missing their father, but someone else.

"Why are you laughing?"

"There's nothing we can do. Let Melo do what she wants. When he can't help it, he'll stop. The problem is with that weird kid."

"What do you mean?"

"They're both the same. One misses him and the other loses him. I don't think about the two of them, why aren't they being honest? The two of them actually love each other but somehow like that."

"You mean—"

"Lion and Melo." Answer Prothos.
