MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
015. THE CLEVER GENIUS

Melody's course hours are over. The girl was walking with her friend Monik at the course, about to get out of their course.

"You should have auditioned for the idol group, Mel. I'm pretty sure you'll graduate." The Monik walked beside Melody.

"I'm not interested in idol groups. It doesn't suit me." Answer Melody. "Again if I join an idol group I become under contract and cannot get married after graduation."

"What do you mean?" Ask Monik. "You're getting married after graduation? With who?"

Melody turned to look at Niko who was waiting for her outside her seat. Niko waved as usual with a smile as Melody looked at her. The young man came to pick up Melody.

"With him?" Tanya Monik was surprised.

Melody was silent because Niko had already walked up to her. Unasked, Niko immediately picked up the guitar brought by Melody.

"How was your day at the course? What's fun?" Ask Niko.

Melody nodded thinly answering him.

"We're going home now?" Ask Niko.

"I'll go home first." Pamit Melody on Monik who was still stunned to hear his words earlier to say nothing.

Monik keeps paying attention to how Niko treats Melody so well. Even Niko opened the car door for him and put a seatbelt on Melody.

"She's so lucky, besides having three cool sisters and equally cool best friends, now she's with a cool husband-to-be too." Monik still watched the car that Melody was riding drove away.

"I'm not his best friend." Said Lion who was in the corner was crouching in a dark place that had no lights. He was hiding so no one could see him.

Monik was surprised to see the existence of Lion there. He became confused because Melody had already gone to be picked up by Niko just now and why was Lion there?

"Melody just left with that vampire-like man. Why are you here?" Tanya Monik approached Lion.

Lion stood up with a long sigh.

"I'm looking for the whereabouts of my bike in this area." Answer Lion. "It's been two days that my bike's gone."

"really?" Look Monik.

"It's late, I'll just go home. My search ended with nothing." Lion exclaimed as he walked away from the Monik who was still looking at him with a strange look.

Lion walked while raving because the motorbike was still not found until now. He was very upset and the feeling of losing him became even more.

"He treated her very well." Lion muttered. "I hope it happens to you, Megan."

The Lion looked up at the night sky with reddened eyes and my face.

...***...

Prothos lay feeling unwell after returning from Widia's place. His body was limp and he did not need to eat, it made his body become sick.

But it was his mind that made him sick. She kept thinking about Widia's words about their relationship, and that made her very sad at the moment. In addition, he also felt guilty for Widia for betraying him by kissing other women, even it was not just an ordinary kiss and more than once.

Athos went into Prothus' room to bring food for his twin. It's nine o'clock at night. Prothos is a person who always regulates his eating hours well and never forgets them. But when something disturbs his mind, especially when he feels hurt because of his love problems, he will immediately go on hunger strike. That made him fall ill immediately.

"Eat first, and take this medicine." Athos said his meal to Prothus, who was lying on the bed.

Prothus did not answer. He just stared at the ceiling of his room with a blank look.

"Jawablah, Ato, what are the main conditions for men and women to be in a relationship?" Ask Prothos.

"Love each other." Answer Athos.

"Is there any other condition?"

"I don't think there is. Loving each other is the only condition for men and women to be in a relationship. That's an absolute condition."

"Why did he doubt?" Ask Prothos. "He spoke as if he regretted being in a relationship with me all this time. It makes me angry and hurt."

"When one compares himself to others, doubts arise in himself. What's more if the object compared to her isn't worth it, she'll become unconfident."

"I've never had a problem with him, it's okay for me that he's like that. As long as we love and accept each other he shouldn't have to compare himself to anyone else."

"It's not that easy, Oto. Women are different from us, they always ask themselves questions rather than convince themselves like most men do. That's why they're so easy to doubt." Athos.

"You're right." Answer Prothos.

"Oto, do you still want to keep it a secret to me?"

Prothus looked at Athos. His mind asked why Athos was asking that. Who should be his lover is no longer a secret because Wilda is widely known that the girl is his lover, especially yesterday Wilda came to their home.

"I know that glasses girl isn't your real boyfriend." Athos. "You still don't want to say it?"

Prothos looked back at the ceiling of his room, reluctant to answer the truth.

"You kept it a secret from all of us, you said you had to be better than him, and the glasses girl who was your fake boyfriend showed up." Athos. "Do you want me to guess?"

Prothus laughed a little at his twin and turned to Athos.

"You're keeping it a secret from us that means we know him or know who he is. You have to be great about her that means she's no ordinary woman. And lastly, your fake boyfriend, he knows who your real girlfriend is and I guess he threatened you. It was visible from your expression yesterday when the girl came here. And since your fake girlfriend is a student at our school, that means your real boyfriend is also at our school."

Prothus was surprised to hear the details of Athos. Everything is just right. He sat down to listen further.

"The initials are the same as your fake girlfriend's initials, right?" Search Athos. After that take the hat belongs to Prothos who is on the table. "It does look like Wilda, but it's actually Widia, one of the teachers at the school." Athos shows the conjunctions in Prothus' hat, which only the letters W and A are clearly visible.

Prothos laughed at the exact answer of his twin.

"It seems to be true that he." Athos.

"You're absolutely right." Answer Prothos. "You're not smart but you're a genius, Ato."

"Yes, the last time I tested IQ, my IQ was in the genius category." Athos replied arrogantly. "What happened to your relationship?"

"It looks like he's starting to hesitate because of our age difference." Prothus answered after that rubbed his face. "He thinks being in a relationship with me was a mistake. It broke my heart."

"No problem, your heart just breaks not disappears. You can reunite your broken heart and it'll all be back to how it was." Athos stood up. "Remember father's message, keep trying to do your best for your relationship, so you don't regret it later. Your father seems to know that this is going to happen to you." Athos added as he walked towards the exit.

"He's your father too, you haughty bastard!!" Prothus responded to the words of Athos who had come out of his room.

Prothos thought back to his father's words at that time and he felt that he should not just stop. She wants to do more for her relationship with her boyfriend, Widia. He had to do something about it because his love was so great for his girlfriend.
