MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
018. THANK YOU HUG

Aramis runs into the hospital after getting a call from Melody regarding Anna's condition. He was so worried about the girl that the young man left the old building where he was painting there with his hands and face full of color paint.

Upon entering the hospital, he passed Niko who was walking out. Aramis sees him, he doesn't know what's going on yet so he doesn't care about it and just runs past Niko.

"He was very worried." Niko who saw Aramis running didn't care about it.

Aramis enters the IGD room where Anna is. When opening the curtain Anna saw his presence, and laughed because she saw Aramis's face with color paint. Ronald was there checking on Anna's condition.

"What's wrong with you, Ars? You're so fucked." Anna still chuckles in a sitting position on the hospital bed.

Aramis breathed a sigh of relief seeing Anna laugh. He felt that the girl he loved was okay. He approaches Anna and not caring about her uncle's whereabouts, Aramis pulls Anna into his arms.

"Uncle, why did you just shut up to see her holding me?" Staring at Anna, his head was still on Aramis chest holding her in his arms.

"Ars, let Anna rest first." Ronald. His tone was flat, not as usual.

Aramis releases Anna and tells Anna to lie down without a word. He helped the girl lie down very gently. The relief he felt after seeing Anna was fine made him go limp now.

"Let's rest for thirty minutes, that's it you can go home." Ronald said after he left.

Aramis looked at Anna. She had no idea what was going on, because when Melody called her, she only heard Anna fall unconscious after running away without listening to Melody's next words. All because of his concern for Anna.

"What's going on? Why did you faint? Where did you faint? Who brought you here? And how are you doing? Are you all right?" Look Aramis.

"You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

"Jawab it!!" Aramis exclaimed with a look of annoyance. "You're worrying me half dead."

Aramis rubbed his face with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief once again.

"You know, the guy who was fighting with you when I came to help you, he and his friends took me somewhere." Answer Anna. "It's all your fault, Ars. They're really after me for what you did. You're too much."

"Ryan's? How dare he do it." Grumpy Aramis. "What did he do to you? I'll kill him soon. Did he touch you?"

"Luckily someone came to help me in time." Anna. "I was so grateful when he came, I thought something bad was going to happen to me. Because Ryan and his friends look really happy after taking me to that place."

"Who helped you? I should thank him. If necessary I'll hug him to thank him."

"Yes, you have to do it, because everything that happened to me is your fault."

"Who is he?"

"Niko." replied Anna.

Aramis instantly changed her expression with a look of disbelief. He started thinking fast when in the hospital lobby earlier, he saw Niko walking out.

"You really have to thank him for hugging him, Ars."

...***...

Aramis walks into Lion's room after returning from the hospital. Lion is playing a PC game with a headset in his ear. He talked to the headset with a playmate in the game he was playing. Not caring about his best friend who just walked into his room.

Aramis sat on the bed and leaned against the wall where Lion was sitting on his back. He said nothing because Lion was engrossed in playing the game while chatting with someone in the game, and occasionally fussed.

"I told you, you don't believe. Don't thank me for my treat." Lion told his playmate. "Okay, I'll log out, tomorrow we play again."

After removing his headset, Lion turned to Aramis. Tumben once his best friend was silent, usually he would disturb him every time he came while he was playing games.

"Why shut up? You got a stomachache?" Look Lion.

"Everyone told me straight away. Even Ryan apologized to me. I've also apologized on behalf of Anna." Answer Lion.

"You know that Niko helped her?"

Lion nodded answering Aramis question who was looking at him with a sharp gaze.

"You don't have to worry, I'll thank you for representing you tomorrow."

"Tell me where the address is, I'll thank him myself." Aramis.

He had to keep his words to Anna. Plus he was really very grateful that Anna was helped by him before Ryan did anything no to the girl he loved so much.

"You're serious?" Lion looked skeptically at Aramis.

...***...

Aramis was standing in the middle of the room inside Niko's house when the clock was showing at eleven o'clock in the evening. She waits for a housekeeper who is telling Niko about her presence to the house.

"What the fuck, Ars? You're interrupting my deep sleep, you know?" Niko. The young man walked up the stairs and stood in front of Aramis who was looking at him sharply. "You're looking at me like that, what's your real purpose? I thought you'd thank me for what I did to your Bonnie."

Aramis was silent. He tried to hold back his prestige so that he could thank his sworn enemy. He closed his eyes for a moment then came closer to Niko and hugged her.

"It is with great sincerity that I thank you." Aramis.

Niko looks surprised at what Aramis did to her. He laughed skeptically after Aramis moved back away from him. He could not believe what his enemy had just done. It was all beyond her expectations.

"She seems to be a special girl to you." Niko still couldn't believe it. "I didn't help him because of you, you know that?"

"Whatever the reason I'll still thank you." Answer Aramis. "I just came to say that. For things that have nothing to do will go on as before. Nothing will change between us."

"It turns out you're still the same." Niko stared at Aramis. "All right, I don't have a problem with that. We'll still be brothers after I marry your sister."

"We'll see." Aramis exclaimed as she walked backwards and turned towards the exit.

Lion had been waiting for him outside Niko's house by recording the moment he thought should be immortalized.

"Why are you filming it?" Aramis was upset when he saw Lion carrying his phone with a recording position.

"This is going to be big news." Lion replied smiling. "You go home, I'll still be here, tomorrow I don't go to school because I'm suspended, so I want to disturb him tonight."

Aramis had just arrived and parked his car into the garage when Athos came out to him dressed.

"Where are you going?" Aramis asked when he got out of the car and did not turn off the engine because Athos was going to use it. "It's been so night." Aramis looked puzzled as it was almost one o'clock at night.

"I have a little business" Athos replied as he got into the car.

"Why do I stay with you?" Ask Aramis. He knew where the twin was going, and it seemed like going alone was not a good thing for Athos.

"No need, I won't do anything, I just want to make sure of something." Athos smiled sarcastically.

After that Athos shut the car and got out of the house. Aramis walked in while thinking about what the twin might do.

"Hopefully he can really keep his emotions going." Aramis.
