MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
032. THERE'S NO WAY OUT

Melody's presence made Lion seem unhappy. He thought Melody should not have come to see him in this situation. Even if Niko knew then things would get more complicated later on.

"Geez, why do I have to go through this." Lion murmured while finishing the ice cream he held. After that he went down and saw Melody walking over to him. "What's wrong? You shouldn't have met me in this situation?"

"Don't you say we shouldn't stay away from each other?" Melody. The two of them stood far apart at a distance of five meters. "I don't think it's a problem if I see you like this."

"But the situation is not good. They're telling me about you two. If it keeps on like that I'll look even more pathetic in everyone's eyes." Answer Lion. "Hurry up if there's nothing important you want to say. Even before you never interrupted my break."

"Does it matter if I'm really married to him?" Not knowing what Melody was thinking, she did not understand him who dared to ask that question to Lion who had openly shown himself supporting Niko's decision. "I want to hear your answer directly."

"You've heard it often. I'm tired of saying it, I have nothing to do with it. What's less clear than my answer?"

Melody did not answer. For him it was not the answer he wanted to hear. Lion simply dispelled the question and not answered it. Although Lion always behaved like it did not matter with it, but what he did was still not what Melody asked. The girl wanted an honest answer that came from the bottom of the heart of the young man she liked. So he asked her directly and alone to see her. Lion could not answer honestly if there were other people, even making him answer very honestly at this time was not easy.

"You should have understood without me answering. On the tape, I told Niko I always supported her."

"Then what do you say in Russian?"

What Lion thought was right, surely Melody would ask him about it at this time. Although he tried to find the answer to the question, he did not find a good answer to avoid it.

"I won't answer it." Answer Lion. "You can ask someone else, or just ask Niko."

Lion's answer made Melody even more confused. It's impossible if he's listening to the tape on Niko, because if he finds out that there's a tape then all of his answers to the questions that Niko asked yesterday will be found out if it's not an answer that comes from himself. And Niko would have been hurt if she knew she was being lied to by that girl.

"Listen, I'll be normal in public from now on, but don't see me like this again. I don't want Niko to misunderstand me. Youunderstand?"

Silence enveloped them at this moment. Melody who did not answer anything looked at Lion coldly. His heart ached so much, even though Lion was in front of him at the moment and looked at him but he felt far away.

Suddenly Melody stepped closer to Lion, Lion was confused but he did not budge from his place. Unexpectedly Melody stuck out her hand and rubbed the lower side of Lion's left lip with the thumb of his right hand.

"Basic fool!!" Melody said after that walking away from the place.

The surprised Lion immediately held his lips and felt something sticky being rubbed by Melody. He immediately reflected on his cell phone. There was ice cream around his lips.

"Arrrggghhh, you are so shameful, Lion." Lion growled at himself while kicking the wall and making him grimace in pain.

...***...

"Sir Oto." Call Melody to stop Prothos from chasing Widia.

Prothos turned to look at Melody, but behind Melody, Wilda stood looking at her and was about to approach Prothos.

"Let's go home, Melo." Said Prothos who was at a distance not too far from Melody. He was trying to get away from Wilda.

"Sir, there's something I want to talk about." Said Wilda past Melody and was about to approach Prothos.

Seeing her Melody rushed to snatch her brother's arm and pulled Prothos away from the classmate. Melody knows what happened. Widia's homeroom teacher is her brother's lover and not her classmate Wilda. With the news circulating about Wilda and her brother makes Melody not like her classmate, because for Melody Wilda to use her brother, Prothos with rumors circulating.

Wilda fell silent as Melody took Prothos away. In the depths of his heart he was very upset at this moment. He saw when Prothos was about to chase Widia earlier. She felt Widia was ignoring his words, and that made her become very angry now.

...***...

Widia came out of the teacher's room with her bag, about to go home. But Wilda who stood at the door made Widia a little upset because it made her remember the threat of her student yesterday.

Behind the glasses she was wearing, Wilda looked at Widia with annoyance. She is furious at the homeroom teacher, as she feels Prothos ignored her because of Widia's existence, and it seems Widia is not afraid of her threats. They were both in an empty classroom because the class hours were over so there were no more students in the class.

"This is how teacher? Brother Oto ignored me." said Wilda. "I'm so sad, he didn't let me get close to him."

Widia waits for what Wilda wants to say to her. He just kept silent by shutting his mouth because he knew the purpose of Wilda would talk to him.

"I can't say anything more to Oto now. Because of the teacher she didn't listen to me at all. Mom, didn't you hear what I said? I don't want him to be expelled from school. Do you know what you have to do to keep Oto from getting kicked out of school? The teacher didn't want that to happen either? But I also don't want him to keep ignoring me because there's a teacher here. So only the teacher can do something to keep Oto from getting kicked out of school and not ignoring me anymore. I beg you ma'am. Let me be with him."

Widia's eyes have been flooded. He wanted to forgive Prothus' betrayal of himself for sleeping with Wilda, but his student's threats prevented him from doing so. Widia feels guilty for Prothos not really believing what she said about the innocent girl in front of her now. If only yesterday he believed and was not provoked by Wilda's words that said about the kiss, surely Prothos could have handled the girl until graduation later and Wilda was not this angry to threaten him. But his love for Prothus made him so jealous yesterday that he made the wrong decision and Prothos made one fatal mistake because of it.

Widia regrets everything that happened. There's nothing he can do anymore, he doesn't want Prothos until he's expelled from school before he graduates. All of those things kept raging in his heart.

"I can't wait until next week, ma'am. Seeing Brother Oto who ignored me made me very sad. Teacher, you need to do something quickly."
