MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
186. THREATS AND WARNINGS

Lion is out of hospital today. After being forced by his mother to live in America, Lion kept thinking about it. All this time he always refused and looked for reasons to stay here. But this time his mother was very pushy, plus he wanted his broken leg to heal completely in order to do all his hobbies. But there is one thing that makes Lion feel confused, which is Melody.

Melody was one of the reasons long ago for him to stay here, he did not want to part with the girl who was already a part of his life. What's more after seeing Melody's attitude when she knew she was leaving, it made her even more worried.

"Why day still daydreaming?" Aramis went into Lion's room. "I heard you're going to America, is that right?" Ask Aramis while turning on the PC to play the game. When's? You're finally going to leave."

"Another week. The big madam wanted to take me there immediately. We leave on Saturday." Lion answered lying down and covered himself with a blanket. "I don't want to go. What am I supposed to do?"

"Why? The woman there must be beautiful, you won't regret it!" Aramis teases Lion. "Their chest and buttocks are all big."

"How can I not go?"

"Why ask? If you don't want to, don't go." Aramis said lightly.

"It's not that easy." Said Lion under his blanket. "I want my feet to heal like they used to. I want to do everything I like but... Lion stopped talking. There's something else that makes me not want to go."

"What?" Ask Aramis while playing the game by yourself. "I want you to stay here, too."

Lion did not answer and remained behind the blanket.

"Oh yeah, you said Saturday you left? That day Melo will sign a contract. I heard that you sent the demo record, right?"

"That means she passed the audition?" Ask Lion.

"Play yourself boring!!" Aramis turned off his game and stood up. "Are you coming back?" Look at Aramis on the Lion covering himself on the bed.

"I don't know." Answer Lion.

Aramis walked out of Lion's room. When he opened the door he stopped and looked back at Lion who still did not open the blanket that wrapped himself.

"Lion, you still remember my orders back then, right? If you don't run it, I'll find you even to the end of the world. I'm gonna kill you, you hear me?!" Aramis. "Go there, but come back to execute that command!!"

Aramis Lion left him in that position. He thought of Aramis words. That order, he wanted to live it but he didn't know what it would be. He doesn't even know when he's going to leave.

The order in question was Aramis' order telling Lion to look after Melody as they both went to the amusement park.

...***...

Family dinner at Melody's. The girl had no appetite and just played her food. His three brothers knew what the reason was, but they only looked at their sister.

"Ars, Lion's back from the hospital, right?" Ask Prothos.

"Yes this afternoon." Answer Ars. "Saturday he's leaving. There his broken leg will be treated to get back to how it was."

"Go to America? Why so fast?" Athos asked as he watched Melody who did not react and just bowed her face.

"Saturday means the same day Melo signed the contract?" Prothos. "Melo, means you can't take Lion away huh?"

Melody remained silent and said nothing.

"All of his friends would definitely feel the loss of the boy. When will he come back?" Ask Mona.

All who were at the dining table continued to watch Melody who was just playing her food with a droopy face.

...***...

After dinner Melody went into her room. Sitting on the bed staring at the window of his room. Soon Lion would be gone, it continued to disturb his mind. He immediately got off the bed approaching the window, staring momentarily at Lion's room. But suddenly Lion appeared, Melody quickly closed the window curtain of her room. He felt that he did not want to see Lion anymore because they would be separated soon.

"Why are you leaving at a time like this?" Melody asked with tears flowing.

Lion who saw Melody closed the window curtain of his room, could only stay still because everything was no longer the same as before. He could not yell at Melody anymore for the girl to open her curtain. Lion knew what Melody was feeling right now so he couldn't behave the same to her anymore.

"Everything went bad back." Lion.

...***...

Lion stood in front of the window of the room, resting on a single stick that helped him stand up. Counting from Sunday to today, it had been three days for Melody to close the window curtain of her room. Since then Lion has been watching Melody's bedroom window. Since Monday, he has been out of school, three days left on his departure to the United States. Ever since Melody left the hospital room, she had not spoken to him. Although Lion knew how the girl felt but he could not say anything to Melody.

"Lion." Call Prothos suddenly into his room. "I've just been to Hans's place to modify the bike I just bought. He said your bike is fixed. Tomorrow I'll bring it here for you." Prothos continued while walking in.

"You just bought a motorcycle?" Lion asked immediately sitting on the side of the bed.

"Yes, I've wanted to buy it for a long time." Answer Prothos.

"Oto, I don't think I need Megan anymore." Said Lion staring at Prothos who was standing before him. "I'll stay in America for a long time, so you can take care of her. I'll give Megan to you." Lion continued while confirming the position of his legs that were still wrapped in casts.

"Don't joke! Megan... You said she was your girlfriend and more valuable than anything?" Prothus said with a grunt.

"Don't talk about anything like that again. You can have it now." Lion replied smiling. "Please take care of Megan gently."

"You're! Look out if you ask for it again!! prothos replied to Lion's smile. "All right then."

"It looks like your career is starting to improve a lot, Oto. Should I ask for your signature? Geez you and Melon are gonna be so famous. I have to ask for your signature before I leave." Lion cried with a small laugh.

Prothus only grunted with his lips to hear the Lion's ravings. There was something else he wanted to say to the young man.

"Lion." Call Prothos who is leaning against the door.

"Hmmm..." Lion answered understanding what Prothus was about to say to him.

"You must marry Melo!!" Prothos looked at Lion.

"What's? Why suddenly—"

"You gave Megan to me, so you can marry Melo." Prothus lifted his lips again. "Do you remember the talk of that time? A long enough conversation. So go back and marry Melo, otherwise I will sue you to court!!" After saying such a word Prothos walked out of Lion's room.

Lion threw his body on the bed and took a deep breath.

"Why did everything go awry like this?"
