MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
031. THE EXCITING NEWS

With wide strides, Melody walked down the school corridor and was about to head for her class, but suddenly someone clasped her left hand from behind to surprise her. Melody turned her head and saw Niko doing it.

"Dobroye utro Lyubov' moya (good morning my love)." Niko Smile.

Melody instantly pulled her hand and noticed around, some of the surrounding disciples looking at them.

"Even holding hands is not allowed? We'll get engaged and get married soon. You're too stiff, Melody." Complain Niko.

Melody was sure that everyone who looked at her and Niko heard what Niko said just now, it made the girl ashamed. He quickly continued his way into the classroom because he did not want to become more gossip material.

"Why?" Tanya Niko felt that there was nothing wrong with her behavior.

Melody just kept quiet and did not answer Niko who was sitting next to her. He still noticed some of his classmates whispering. He was very sure that they were whispering about what Niko said earlier.

"You don't wonder why I came so early?" Niko was still chattering cluelessly with the circumstances around her that were still talking about her and Melody. "I really want to see you, I miss you."

Melody felt even more embarrassed because Niko's voice was heard loudly in the quiet classroom. All the students who were there must have heard Niko's words. Melody hoped that Niko would say it in Russian so that no one would understand her.

"Good morning to all my dear friends." Lion exclaimed who entered the classroom and broke the silence. "What's wrong? What are you all gossiping about this early?" Lion looked puzzled as he looked at the several groups of disciples who were whispering.

"Melody..." Call Rinka who ran into the classroom and approached Melody. "Ah, you've come too." Rinka smiled at Niko.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so rushed?" Niko asked Rinka.

"Are you really getting married? A few minutes ago the rumor spread very quickly." Answer Rinka.

Melody covered her face with one hand, feeling embarrassed about the news that had already spread. He really became very upset at Niko. It should be a secret to them.

"Yes that's right. We'll get engaged after graduation will get married immediately." Niko answered with confidence.

"I don't think your relationship is that close. I thought Lion would marry you later." Rinka. "That's why Lion moved his seat and your relationship became not as close as it used to be?"

Niko looked at Melody hearing Rinka's words. At this time the attention of everyone in the class was on him, so Melody was confused to have to express or respond to what Rinka said. As for Niko, she hoped that Melody would answer her with the truth, if they had indeed planned to get married.

"What are you talking about, Rinka?" Lion approached the three of them. "Don't drag my name in this. Me and Melon were just friends. Isn't that Melon?" Lion looked at Melody.

Melody nodded without an answer coming out of her mouth. That girl really did not want to be in this kind of situation. She felt so anxious to cry now. In addition, he had not heard Lion call him with Melon for a long time.

"They're both a good couple, right? They're both getting engaged soon." Said Lion while embracing the seated Niko.

"That's open gossip, that's what's going to happen later." Added Niko. "Me and Melody have planned it. That's also why I moved school."

Instantly, the news broke in the school. Melody was uncomfortable with the news. But he who is the younger brother of the Musketeers who are very popular at school and Niko who has become a new idol at the school makes the news more interesting discussed by all students. Even the news was increasingly fried with the proximity of Melody to Lion who looked increasingly distant. Many have speculated that Lion's strange attitude is increasingly becoming also because of this.

Melody was definitely uncomfortable at school. He did not want to be the subject of conversation again after a long time with Felix himself also had been the subject of speech at school.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it out loud." Niko realized her mistake.

No answer came out of the girl's mouth. He only focused on paying attention to the whiteboard where the teacher was explaining the subject matter.

"Yes, no lyublyu, poetomu khochu, chtoby vse znali, chto ty moy."

Niko finds out that Melody is upset because of her words in a language the girl doesn't understand. Niko wrote something in her book and then showed it to Melody.

I love you so much, that's why I want them all to know that you're mine.

After reading it Melody looked at Niko who continued to look at her with a gentle gaze. The girl felt how much love the young man beside her had for her. And that all made him feel even more overwhelmed.

From a distance, Lion saw the two of them staring at each other. He thought it was a good thing, at least he convinced himself like that, to cover up his strange feelings upon seeing her.

...***...

On top of the roof Lion read the school forum in the chat room. He sat on the wall eating ice cream, and some other ice cream was still wrapped up to his left. He read the comments of other students about the news that circulated today about Melody and Niko who will soon be engaged and married. Even in some comments his name was taken.

Although I don't like the girl, but I admit that she was very lucky to get Niko who always looked cool.

How could such a cold girl attract his attention? Moreover, the three Musketeers did not like Niko, how are you possible?

Niko is like a vampire while Melody is as cold as an iceberg, they look a match, but what about Lion? I think only Lion can melt that ice-cold woman.

Though I hope that Niko is not interested in him, but it turns out to be true news before. Therefore he moved schools despite receiving bad reception from his brothers.

So all this time Lion was close to Melody not because he liked it? Lion's behavior is strange, but lately he has become even stranger. Is it because of that news?

Lion is not that bad, he is also very cool. He deserves better than a girl as cold as Melody.

Lion and Niko are friends, but their relationship is still good. Then all this time Lion and Melody were just my countrymen. What happened has nothing to do with Lion.

"Well, this is the best comment right now." Lion said as he read the last comment. "Well, I'll comment anonymously."

Niko and Melody are very compatible, they are the best couple of the year. Don't involve Lion in their love affairs.

"I think my comment is the best." Lion Smile.

No, the cold girl only matches a warm man like Lion.

Yeah, that's true. Niko also looked cold so she was no match for Melody.

I think the same thing. Apparently, there are also those who think like me.

"What the fuck are these guys? I told you, don't involve me!!" Pissed Lion read his comment reply.

Crack

Lion looked up when he heard the door open. Melody stood in the doorway staring at him.
