MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
147. ANGELS VS DEMONS

Melody who was with Niko at the steakhouse had just finished her meal. Niko looked at the girl sitting opposite him fixedly. Soon they will be engaged and all the preparations are arranged by her. It made her feel very happy.

"Niko, don't look at me like that. You're scaring me." Melody did not dare to look at Niko with her head down.

Niko regained her senses and immediately withdrew her fixed gaze from Melody. She took a lip moisturizer and applied it to her lips that looked dry and slightly pale.

"I'm sorry, baby." Niko said after putting her lip moisturizer in her coat pocket. "Your feet still hurt? Do we need to see a doctor?"

"No need. It's just a sprain, a few days it's gonna heal." Answer Melody.

"Our engagement is soon, hopefully it'll heal before the show."

"What about your hand?" Melody looked at the left hand of Niko who was wearing gloves. "Is it healed?"

"Yes it seems so, although it still hurts a little but it's getting better." Niko smiled in response to Melody's attention. "What do you want for our engagement gift?"

"Nothing." Melody answered very quickly.

"About a month after getting engaged we're getting married. Then what do you want for a wedding present?"

"Niko, I don't want anything."

"There has to be something you want so I can give it to you." Niko cried with a little force. "After the engagement I'll take you on a cruise. We'll go to sea and sail for a few days. Just the two of us."

"What?" Melody was surprised to hear Niko's words. "Niko, I don't want to sail, I'm afraid of not being able to swim. We don't need to go anywhere because after the engagement a week later you're taking me to Russia."

Niko let out her breath with a slight annoyance. He actually knew that Melody would refuse him to take a vacation on a cruise ship.

"I have one wish." Melody. "Next week your parents will come to see my family. And after that was the test day of the class hike, that meant one week before the engagement. Can it be during the week that we don't have to meet?"

"What's wrong? Why don't you want us to meet?"

"I want to focus on the exam first." Melody answered, bowing her head. "I also want to be alone before we get engaged. It just so happens that during the exam we are in a different class so we don't have to meet first."

...***...

"You're getting fresh, Oto. You're getting good-looking." Said Ricky who stood behind Prothos while combing Prothos's hair that had been cut and colored. "No woman will reject you now."

"You're getting very handsome, Oto." One female employee called and got the approval of the others.

Prothus watches himself in the reflection of the mirror. Her black hair turned bright brown. He feels he is getting more handsome now, coupled with a Mona haircut that looks suitable for him.

"Yes, this fits me perfectly." Answer Prothos. "I'm going to be darting fast on the popularity ladder." Prothos smiled with his trademark, revealing both dimples of his cheeks. Her mainstay is to spread charm.

"It has to be like that!!" Mona sits on a sofa behind Prothos. "All women will like you but don't let them know your true nature or they will think again to like you."

"What do you mean?" Look at Prothos on Mona from the mirror.

"From now on, I'm forbidden to smile at all the women who see you, and don't look at them either." Mona said with a sharp look at Prothos.

"Jeez, why did you ban me?" Prothus looked over in wonder. "You're not my boyfriend why ban me like that? Even my girlfriends back then no one dared to ban me like that. Or maybe you liked me all this time? Are you jealous I smile at a lot of women?"

Mona snorted annoyedly at Prothos' words. His gaze became lazy at the young man who turned to him.

"Not just looks, I will change your nature and attitude so you don't look like a cheap man!!" Mona exclaimed in annoyance.

"Whatchu mean? Cheap guy?" Prothus became upset to hear Mona's words.

"And again, I've told you before. The entertainment world already has Juan who is famous for his friendly nature. He always smiles warmly at anyone, if you are still like you who like to smile spread charm, then there is no place for you in the entertainment world. Change yourself from now on, don't smile and sharpen your gaze. If Juan is an angel then you should form your image like a rival, be a demon with a sharp cold gaze."

"It also makes you look cheap." Answer Mona. "It also fits with your true nature, right? The devil!!"

"Do you want to say that Juan is an angel?" Prothos asked in a very upset manner.

Mona simply smiled with a contrived reply to Prothos. That made Prothos even more upset. The truth that Juan wasn't as good as the girl thought made Prothos very upset that Mona still thinks Juan is a good guy.

Prothus was sorry for protecting the girl from Juan. He regrets claiming to be his guardian angel while Mona herself considers herself a demon and vice versa with Juan. The girl saw Juan like an angel when what she wanted to do to Mona was more suitable to say she was a demon. Even the man admitted that he was a demon scout.

"You understand now, right?" Look Mona.

Prothos simply took a breath and sat back down leaning back on the chair.

"Ricky, please tell Oscar to take off the pictures of him there." Seru Mona pointed to the pictures of Prothos when she became a model in the salon. "She's about to start her career as an artist, so if I still put up her picture I'll put on royalties at this salon."

Prothos was increasingly surprised to hear Mona's words because he questioned the pictures of himself that had been in the salon for a long time.

It was not long before the two of them left the salon and were about to head to the clothing store. With the new look of Prothos that made the young man even more handsome made anyone look at him. His star aura radiated so that no one did not look at him at this moment.

"Remember my words." Mona said as she walked beside Prothos as Prothos was seen giving her smile to all who looked at her.

Prothos thus restrained his smile and walked with a straight forward gaze, restraining himself from turning to anyone who looked at him so as not to give his smile.

They both arrived at a very famous brand shop. Mona chose some clothes for Prothos to try.

"It suits you too." Mona says during Prothos exiting the room fittings.

Mona confirmed the collar of the black shirt that Prothos wore after opening two of his buttons.

"Everything I wear will suit me." Prothos said with a smile.

"I told you not to smile in public." Chirps Mona.

Mona was at the cashier to pay for all the clothes she bought using the credit card Athos gave her. Prothus stood beside him.

"Aren't you Prothos of the Musketeers?" Ask an employee who is behind the counter.

Prothos did not immediately reply and looked at Mona. He was afraid that he was misbehaving himself at this moment.

"What's wrong?" Ask Mona to the officer.

"Can we take a picture with him?"

"I'm sorry, for now he can't take pictures with anyone. You can take pictures with him when he's famous." Mona answered with a smile. "You can follow the social media account and see the development later. He's gonna be an artist."

"Gosh, really?"

"You have to support it." Mona.

Prothos walked away from the cashier and headed out. He is no longer strong to face the behavior of Mona who now has power over him.

"Why did Ato have to make him my assistant manager?" Mumbled Prothos annoyed.
