MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
040. I'M GAY

Prothos is still mourning the departure of his girlfriend Widia. He sat on the floor leaning against his bed with his head turned up at the side of the bed staring at the ceiling of the room. Occasionally tears came out of both eyes.

Her words back then while comforting Widia backfired for herself now. Widia took the decision to leave him who had betrayed her because of her words first. It made him hate himself right now.

"I will never forgive myself." Prothos Murmuring.

"Sister, it's time for lunch, I brought food for brother." Melody said from outside.

Prothos wiped his tears and immediately sat down at the side of his bed. He did not want his sister to see his tears at this moment.

"Come in." Answer Prothos.

Melody immediately opened the door and put the food she brought to the study table and saw her brother who was rubbing his face.

"Sister has to eat, sister didn't have breakfast, did she this morning? You'll be sick again, brother." Melody said looking at her pitiful-looking brother. "What's wrong with you, brother? I think everything's fine after you guys left together yesterday."

Prothus covered his face with both hands as his tears began to come out again hearing Melody's words. Melody immediately hugged her brother with a feeling of sadness as well. She was very understanding of her one brother, she was not as strong as her other two brothers because her brother had a softer heart than the others.

"Melo, this time it feels more painful." Prothos. "But it's all your brother's fault, I made him leave. Because it feels more painful."

Melody only rubbed Prothus' back with tears flowing in her arms, hearing her brother's crying cry in her arms.

...***...

Athos sits opposite his mother Tasya in the same spot they last met.

"It's the wedding invitation." Tasya's mother gave Athos an invitation, and Athos opened it immediately. "It's two weeks away."

"It looks like Tasya doesn't know when the show is yet." Athos.

"Yes, we'll tell him a week before the event, when the invitation will be spread."

"All right then." Athos Smile.

"You only need one invitation? What are you planning?"

"I'll just come alone, but I won't stop the marriage because I won't do anything." Athos answered with conviction.

...***...

Athos enters a room in a karaoke place. In the room there are about five men and five women where one of them is Dion, Tasya's future husband. The two guards Dion paid were near the door and attacked Athos. Athos managed to knock him out because he was really angry at the moment.

Dion who was kissing a woman was immediately surprised to see the presence of Athos, as well as his friends who immediately stopped the song being played.

"Listen to the loser, I won't do anything right now, but when you see me at the wedding, you won't be able to stop me again. So be careful and make sure you don't see me there!!" Athos exclaimed and after that walked away.

"Mona, I'm just asking for your help this time." Said Lion standing in front of the cashier's desk where Mona was behind the cashier's desk.

Lion immediately came to the coffee shop with the aim of asking Mona for help to deal with Sandra. For half an hour she begged Mona to help her, but she kept rejecting her.

"She's so stubborn, I told her I already had a boyfriend. If he doesn't introduce anyone to him, he'll keep terrorizing me." Said Lion in a slightly whining tone

"That's your business, not mine. Just tell me the truth. Why do you like to lie?" Mona. "Go away!"

"I'm lazy to hear your babble. Don't bother me who's working." Mona Excited.

"Lion!!" Call Sandra who just came in. "Have you come?"

Lion looked at Sandra who was sitting in front of him at the moment while biting the index finger of his right hand. He's still racking his brain to figure out a way to avoid Sandra.

"I know you must be lying when you say you've got another boyfriend." Sandra said with a smile. "It's Lion, how about we—"

"Sandra, I'm gay." Cut Lion makes Sandra flabbergasted to hear Lion's words. "I've liked men a long time ago. I'm not dating his sister Musketeers either, he's just helping me out first so you don't keep pestering me."

"You're kidding me, Lion." Sandra was very surprised to hear it but she did not just immediately believe it. "You said that let me stop bothering you, right?"

"No, I seriously like my fellow men. That's why I've never been attracted to any woman." Lion answered with a serious face. "So I can't be with you."

"I don't believe."

"You can check my phone, is there a woman's name in there?" Lion put his phone that was open in front of Sandra.

Sandra began to look at it carefully, it was true that there was no woman's name there.

"You can change his name to a man's name." Sandra still didn't want to believe it.

"You can randomly call a few numbers to be sure."

Without a second thought Sandra followed Lion. The five people Sandra called were all men, not a single woman.

"Call me again until you're satisfied."

Sandra looked at Lion irritatedly and put her phone down rather harshly. He did not think that the young man he liked was gay. Without saying anything else Sandra immediately rushed out from there.

"He's really very stubborn." Lion muttered after that laughing satisfied with what he had just done.

"You're so overreacting, Lion." Mona cried from the beginning to hear everything. "You tricked him to his side."

"I don't like it that's best for him." Lion replied as he opened the lollipop and put it in his mouth. "If I don't like it and accept it, then I'm being unfair to it."

Mona walked over to the Lion's table and sat down before him.

"Then if you like him but ask him to be with someone he doesn't like how many people can be unfairly treated because of you?" Mona Syndicate.

Lion understands that Mona is currently talking about herself, Melody and Niko.

"none. It was all their decision without coercion from anyone." Lion smiled trying to act ordinary.

"The girl also without coercion wanted to approach you. So you're telling me if you accept it, what can't be fair is you? That so?" Ask Mona very sharply. "How about Melody? She doesn't like Niko but because of your coercion she wants to marry Niko."

"I have nothing to do with her decision to marry Niko." Resist Lion. "I didn't force him in the first place either."

"Because he's disappointed in you stupidly so he's willing to accept it at the beginning." Mona looked upset. "You are a fool, your friends who come here always talk about your stupidity. They didn't dare say anything to you, but I'm so upset right now because of your stupid behavior!! Why don't you just admit you like Melody? Niko will definitely understand and back off as well."

"It's not that easy." Lion. "And I don't like it either. I'm gay."
