MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
020. A ROSE FLOWER

For several days Prothos tried to talk to Widia at school but her boyfriend always avoided her. Prothos still has not done anything to improve his relationship at this time, in recent days he tried to focus on studying because in his class every day there are daily exams.

After school on Friday, Prothos sat at his desk, thinking about whether to call Widia using Wilda's cell phone or not. But he did not want to use the phone even to contact anyone.

Only Wilda often sent him messages with things that contained calls to meet him in his apartment. Even though Prothos never returned the favor.

"Sir Oto." Call Melody into her brother's room with a package in her hand. "I just bought a bunch of marshmallows, I know you like them too. This is for you."

Melody placed the package she had brought onto the table. She notices Prothos holding Wilda's handphone, thinking why her brother is still holding it when he says he will return it.

"Son't you give me that phone back?" Ask Melody in surprise. "Actually brother and Wilda it—"

"Melo, can I borrow your phone?" Prothos asked cutting off Melody's words.

"For what?"

"Sister wants to call sister's boyfriend." Answer Prothos.

Melody gave Prothos her phone, and Prothos immediately came out of his room to call. Melody was sitting on a chair inside Prothos' room. He thought about what really happened? Wilda's not her sister's boyfriend then who? He watched the hat on Prothos' study table as he thought of it all in search of the answer he so desperately wanted to know.

Outside Prothos called Widia using Melody's phone. Prothos felt he had to do something to improve his relationship.

"Hello." Widia answered on the other end of the phone.

"Widi, I'm sorry." Prothos. "I got angry because of your doubt. You want to forgive me?"

"I'm the one who should be apologizing to you, I'm the one who's over-thinking." Answer Widia.

"No, I understand your anxiety, you're not wrong." Prothos. "Where are you? I'll go to your place. What can?"

"I'm waiting for you." Answer Widia.

Prothos returned to his room after calling Widia, he was in a hurry to see her.

"You still here?" Prothos said to return Melody's phone. Then he took his wallet on the table.

"Where are you going?" Melody asked to see her brother leaving.

Prothos did not reply and simply smiled at Melody and rushed out of her room.

After Prothos left, Melody thought again. She knew that her brother would want to see his lover now. He tried to think things over. Yesterday's incident when he saw his brother Prothos like he wanted to talk to his homeroom teacher, and before that his homeroom teacher wanted to ask about his brother's condition. He remembered Lion's words, his homeroom teacher also visited him when Lion was sick. Melody looked back at Prothos' hat and tried to read it even though only the letters W and A were clearly visible.

"What don't-don't?"

Melody opened the phone list on her phone and saw Widia's name on the last list of her phone calls. Because Prothos was in a hurry he forgot to remove it before returning his phone to Melody.

...***...

Widia opened the door of her room after someone pressed the bell. After Prothos called he became impatient for his arrival. The girl immediately opened the door of her apartment.

"Sorry mom, am I interrupting?" Wilda asked who turned out to be someone who pressed the bell. "There's something I'd like to ask you about your assignment. Can I come in?"

"Come in." replied Widia. Actually he felt that he did not want his student to enter because soon his lover would come. But rejecting her is not very good as the girl's homeroom teacher, and she thinks that Wilda won't be there long.

Wilda opened her notebook on the round table. Widia looked at the girl carefully. Instead of listening to the question that Wilda asked, Widia instead distracted her mind about the girl in front of her at this time. All the rumors that developed at his school said that Wilda was his girlfriend's lover, and he was a little annoyed about it. Honestly, he was very jealous because he could not show himself the real lover of the very popular man.

"What's wrong mom?" Wilda looked at Widia and looked at her. "Master didn't hear my words?"

Wilda closed her book and sat up straight staring at Widia, her homeroom teacher.

"Mom, I'm so jealous of you." Said the girl in a tone of voice that sounded plain. "If everyone thinks I'm Oto's girlfriend, but the teacher's the real boyfriend."

Widia did not answer, she did not want to say anything to the student. With an unpleasant feeling Widia just silently looked at Wilda who she thought was an innocent girl who envied her for having a lover like Prothos.

"I liked him a lot after he helped me, besides his very handsome face, he is a very nice guy. How lucky the teacher is to have it."

Widia agreed with Wilda. Prothos was indeed a very good man, in addition to his extremely handsome face, his attitude had also been warm all this time to him. Despite being younger than him, Prothos was more mature in all respects in their relationship. Widia felt that she was very lucky to have him as her lover.

"Mom, would you be willing if I asked you to hand it over to me?" Ask Wilda. "I want to be her real boyfriend, and I think teacher pretty much understands that. I know the teacher's mom is a good person."

"What do you mean?" Widia was surprised to hear Wilda saying with her innocent look. He asked her for the impossible so easily. Widia felt that she was so innocent that she asked him for it.

"It sounds difficult, but I think if it was before or before you were dating, Oto helped me first of all it would be different now. We must have been dating." Wilda replied with a gesture that showed that she was not sure to tell her teacher. "I'm begging you mom. I think Oto also felt something uncomfortable with your age difference, because that's when I asked him to kiss me he did it without refusing. Even we kissed more than once and I think he liked it when we kissed. It's a good thing I always managed to stop him before doing anything further than kissing."

Widia gasped at Wilda's words. Her tears flowed down her face. At the same time Prothos came by opening the door of the apartment. He brought a bouquet of roses that he wanted to give to his lover, Widia.

Prothos was stunned when he saw Wilda in front of Widia with Widia crying. He became aware that Widia now knew about his actions with Wilda.

"Sorry mom, I'd better go home now." Said Wilda carrying her book after it ran out past Prothos.

Widia got out of her seat when Prothus approached her, and slapped her lover. Widia's cry became very loud as Prothos stared at her.

"She's an innocent girl, she won't lie." Widia.

"I was wrong to obey all his words, and I was also carried away by the flow of his game. But trust me, she's not the truest girl you've ever seen." Prothus tried to convince Widia.

"Then would you say you kissed her because she teased you? He might do it because he likes you, but if you don't like him why would you do it? More than once he said."

"If I told you because he threatened me would you believe me?"

"She's a plain girl, she won't threaten you."

Prothos had guessed that Widia would say that. Widia is a naive girl who does not want to prejudge anyone, especially in a girl who always looks innocent like Wilda who is her student.

"Is this not what you do?"

"What do you mean?"

"Actually from the beginning the girl did not threaten you, it was all just your wits so that I would believe it to let you approach her?" Widia looks really angry now. "Tell me, you're actually tired of me, aren't you? Or was I just a distraction from the start?"

"Your words have gone too far, Widi." Answer Prothos. "I love you so much there's no way I'm doing that."

"But you kissed her!!" Widia Seru. "Already, it seems right, our relationship should never have happened. The age difference should keep us from having this relationship. Go, we've got it all up here, now you can be with him or with any woman. I'm tired of all this."

Prothos dropped the bouquet of roses he was carrying and stepped away.

After Prothus, Widia fell on the floor. She cried hugging both her legs. He looked at the bouquet of roses that Prothos had brought for him, but had not yet been given to him the flower was already on the floor with some broken flowers.

He must accept everything now. From the very beginning his decision to have a relationship with Prothos was a mistake. How much his love couldn't beat his rave anymore at this moment.
