MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
170. THE PERFECT FAREWELL

At about eight in the morning, Tasya was in his room. The girl was in bed watching her cell phone which opened Athos social media.

The young man had never posted anything on his account. There were only uploads before he was stabbed by a knife by Dion.

Tasya continued to see the photos uploaded by Athos were all of him or the photos of the two of them. The girl recalls that when the photo was taken, it all came back to her mind and made her miss Athos even more.

"Miss, someone's coming to see you." Keke's voice rang out from outside the door with a knock on the door.

Tasya rushed to open the door and saw Keke.

"Who's coming? I don't want to see anyone." Tasya answered lazily.

"Miss should see her, miss will definitely be happy when she sees her."

Keke's reply made Tasya immediately rush out of his room and head for the stairs. From the top floor, the girl looked towards someone standing looking at her downstairs.

The girl's heart immediately felt happy when she saw a young man who missed her standing up with a smile on him. As soon as Tasya went down the stairs with a little run and immediately grabbed Athos—'s body hugging him.

"Ato, is this really you?" Tanya Tasya who was in front of Athos with tears of happiness saw the young man she loved meet him again after a long time. "Why silence?"

"I endured the pain in my chest so I couldn't say anything." Answer Athos.

Tasya immediately took off his close embrace after realizing that the puncture wound on Athos' chest had not healed properly. The girl immediately looked at the young man's face with a smile even though her face was wet with tears.

"Why are you walking? Is it no longer a problem?" Tasya asked with a bit of worry.

"I'm fine." Athos answered with a smile. "I miss you."

"No! You don't miss me. If it's like that you've been seeing me since yesterday and will always see me. You're not gonna dodge and forbid me from seeing you. I'm the only one who misses you." Tasya cried out in tears.

Athos laughed in response to Tasya's words so much that the girl he loved looked upset and subconsciously beat him up. The young man was also grimacing in pain.

"I'm sorry, honey. Sorry, Ato." Tasya felt guilty as she stroked the chest of a sick Athos.

Athos hugged Tasya and with his hand he grabbed the girl.

"Prepare, we're going to the sea now." Athos.

Tasya was surprised to hear Athos' words, but the girl smiled very happily.

Athos sat on the sofa waiting for Tasya who was getting ready. Almost half an hour she waited, finally the girl appeared in her homemade dress. The dress she gave at Tasya's wedding was thrown away. Pink dress that looks simple but looks elegant because Tasya who wears it.

"How's Ato? Am I pretty?" Ask Tasya.

Athos just gave a smile to answer that question. For him whatever the girl wears always looks good, not the girl who becomes beautiful because of what she wears.

Not how long they arrived at a beach that looked very beautiful because today the sun shines brightly making the sky look blue and the sea sparkles.

"Are we going fishing?" Tanya Tasya turned to Athos who was standing next to her as they got out of the car.

"I guess we'll be fishing again like that time. When you said you were going to the sea, I immediately thought I'd accompany you to fish." Tasya.

"I don't have to wait anymore because it seems like I've got what I want. I just need to hold myself back." Athos.

"What do you mean?"

Athos shook his head with a smile at Tasya. Then he grabbed Tasya's right hand by holding it.

"You want to sail into the sea?" Look at Athos while peeking at Tasya's palm in his grasp.

Eventually the two of them boarded a Yacht Boat to go around the ocean. Tasya and Athos sit at the top of the boat enjoying the view in the middle of the sea.

"I didn't know you could ride a ship." Tasya said with a happy smile turned to Athos who was riding the ship.

"It's so easy, like driving a car." Athos answered, who was hugged by Tasya. "Some times my dad and I boarded a speed boat, he taught me how to ride this."

"If you knew we weren't fishing, I'd wear a bikini, Ato." He hugged Tasya and looked at the young man he loved so much and got a smile from Athos. "I'm so happy today, Ato. I know this may be the last chance I can be with you before I leave." Tasya began to change her facial expression.

Athos embraced Tasya who was holding him. He did not want the girl to be sad.

"Tasya, I've never told you before. Actually from the beginning everything that happened was to my liking. I still remember that date, I even circled the calendar on my desk because for me it was the most special day of my life. Exactly one year ago I saw a girl go into the supermarket with a face covered in a mask, I kept watching her until finally the girl needed my help, I picked up something she kept staring at with a look of sadness, I returned the dropped phone and I'm glad I finally got a hug from the girl."

Tasya turned his head to look at Athos because he did not expect to hear the story of their first meeting from the point of view of his lover.

"For a few days I found out about the girl, I also knew for almost a week the girl followed me until she finally came to the cafe. I also deliberately asked Ars to serve him so that he who likes to prank me give my mobile number to him. Until I finally deliberately sound unintentionally accepted his declaration of love. Even I purposely changed the password of my phone because I knew Ars would prank me again by sending the girl a message to come to our house. On that day I also made Melo's favorite cheesecake, which I also knew that the girl liked."

Athos paused for a moment and looked at Tasya who was also staring at him.

"Everything went my way until now I'm still with that girl after I fought death." Athos. "At that point I believe everything will go as I wish. You believe it too, right?"

Tasya nodded thinly with a smile implied by a knot of happiness.

"Listen, Tasya, we won't see each other for three years after this, your father doesn't want us to communicate either and I want to show him that all the restrictions are okay with me proving it. You don't have to fear that I'll turn my back on you because as long as I live you're the only woman who's made me do it all this way. I just always see you."

"You know what, Ato? You're too perfect for a woman like me. I've always felt lucky to be the woman a man like you loves." Tasya replied with tears that were unraveling at the thought of their separation after this. "Because sometimes I'm afraid you'll find a woman who's worth you, a woman who's just as perfect as you are."

"I don't need to find the perfect person in my life if I already have someone who can make me happy." Said Athos holding Tasya's face and looking at him fixedly while wiping away the beautiful girl's tears. "You don't have to worry because things will go the way I want them to. Youunderstand?"

"Yes, Ato, I will follow all your words. There's no way I'm not following the words of a man like you."

Athos smiled at Tasya's reply with a fixed look at the girl.

"You know? Every day will always be an ordinary day when there is no one you have next to me. Maybe later I will feel tired of everything because there is no you with me. Because since you've been with me you've been my break, my dear Tasyaku." Athos kissed Tasya's lips.

In the middle of the sea, with the wind roaring, a pair of lovers kissed on the boat. They will be separated, and all that makes their separation perfect because the love of the two will still be adrift with each other.
