MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
042. A HARD SLAP

Inside the room, Anna sees a video of Aramis making her paintings. He watched everything first before cutting it down to ten minutes. Anna saw how Aramis was very serious when painting. He was completely different when he was painting.

Until finally the painting. Anna again saw the beautiful painting, but made Anna sad again. Aramis was eager to see herself lengthen her hair, it made her a burden now. The girl hid her illness from Aramis but the effects of her chemotherapy would be visible soon. That's certainly what Aramis would have realized. However, Anna will do something so that the young man she loves will not find out about his illness, even though it must make Aramis angry with him. He had already decided to hide his illness because he was confident that it would be cured later.

"Anne." Call Aramis from outside her room.

Anna heard that Aramis had entered her house, but she had no intention of leaving because it was too late. Time has shown ten o'clock at night.

"I told you I'd do it myself. You go home, it's too late." Anna did not move from her seat.

"What about the title?" Tanya Aramis stood outside the door of Anna's room. "You found him? They've asked."

"I haven't thought of it yet. You better give him the title yourself." Answer Anna.

"Didn't you like the painting?" Aramis asked but there was no reply from Anna. "All right, let me just give him the title."

After saying so Aramis stepped away from Anna's house.

Anna took her mobile phone and opened a social media account, then uploaded the only photo that filled her account with the same caption all.

...***...

Melody walked into her room and her gaze was instantly fixed on the outside of her bedroom window. Lion's room had just been turned on, which was a sign that he had gone home.

The girl approached the window of her room looking at Lion's room with a slight feeling of regret for what she did yesterday to Lion. He shouldn't have slapped her, he thought that Lion now must have thought that Melody hated him. That made Melody sad now.

"I want to hate you so much." Said Melody with tears welling up in the eye pelupuk.

Drrrtt drrrtt!

Melody saw the phone in her hand vibrate and saw the name 911 appear, for a moment she thought that Lion called her but she realized that the name had changed position to Niko.

"Why haven't you slept?" Niko asked as Melody received her call.

"How am I supposed to sleep if you're bugging me at this hour?" Melody's words made Niko laugh. "What do you need? Why do you call me so often?"

"You almost never return my messages so I'd better call." Answer Niko. "And again I want to hear your voice. YES skuchayu po tebe (I miss you)."

"Niko, I'm not comfortable hearing your words." Melody blatantly said to the young man who had intended to marry her. Niko often sent him messages with the Russian sentence so that he already knew the meaning.

"Melody, why do you always say that to me?" Ask Niko. "Can't you just listen to what I'm saying, and there's no need to answer it?"

Melody was silent at Niko's words. He felt so sorry for his cold words to the young man. Niko is different from Lion, if Lion always responds to the cold words Melody only with a light mutter that makes Melody feel that it is not a problem for Lion, while Niko lately more serious to respond to it.

"Are you also uncomfortable talking to me on the phone? If so then I won't call you again."

"I'm sorry, I'm uncomfortable not being used to listening to someone say that to me." Melody hoped Niko understood.

"I'll say it more often to get used to it." Niko. "You better sleep now. See you tomorrow at school. Spokoynoy nochi."

Melody dropped herself onto the bed immediately. He felt that Lion and Niko were very different. With Lion he had never felt anything like this now.

...***...

The doorbell rings.

Melody was already sitting in her chair but Niko had not come yet. Melody knows for sure Niko today came too late again. Melody turned to the window and saw that Niko's car had just entered the school, and not how long the young man was leisurely walking to class.

"She should have run." Melody muttered who was looking at Niko while sighing.

"Good morning everyone." A math teacher who just entered the class.

Melody felt strange because the first subjects should be biology, her homeroom teacher, Widia's teacher, but why did the math teacher enter?

"Because there is a sudden need, Widia's teacher resigned suddenly yesterday Friday. So for that I will replace him as your homeroom teacher. For a substitute biology teacher ten more minutes are coming."

Melody thought because of that her brother was very sad. Suddenly his homeroom teacher resigns from school, leaving Prothos. Melody looked at the expression of Wilda sitting on the chair from the third, a two-row interval from her. He looks smiling. Melody thought that her classmate was happy with Widia's departure.

"Good morning, sir." Said Niko who had just entered the classroom and directly walked to her seat.

The new homeroom teacher just shook his head looking at Niko.

"How did you sleep last night? What's a beautiful dream? You must have dreamed of me, right?" Niko looked at Melody.

Melody did not respond to him and was still busy with her attention to Wilda. Last night her sister said that Wilda's outer appearance did not match the original and called her a creepy girl. Instantly Melody felt the growing hatred for her classmate who always looked like that clever innocent girl.

...***...

The break begins. Prothos had no intention of getting out of his class and was just daydreaming looking up at the sky as seen from his classroom window. During the lesson he could not focus at all and continued to think about Widia. He misses that girl very much right now.

"You all right, brother?"

Prothus turned his gaze and looked to his right where Wilda was standing close to him. He did not expect to see the girl again. Even when he saw her there was a huge hatred inside him towards the girl.

"I heard the teacher resigned, you know? Where is he brother? Did he leave you?" Wilda drew her face closer to Prothus who was sitting and her voice sounded like a whisper. At the moment some of the children in the class were watching them.

Prothus got up from his seat and walked out quickly. He doesn't want to see Wilda's shitty behavior again. Even just looking at her made her guilt towards Widia become even greater. From now on he wanted to avoid the girl and did not want to deal anything with her.

Wilda watched the other disciples whispering about him who had been left behind by Prothus. They looked at Wilda with a cynical look so that the girl became very upset. He immediately ran out after Prothus, who avoided him to show that he was Prothus' lover to all of them.

"Sister, wait a minute, brother!!" Wilda pulled Prothos' arm. "Someone wants me to say—"

His words came to a halt when someone pulled him back and a loud slap landed on the girl's cheek.

All of the disciples who witnessed were shocked, as well as Prothos who was very unexpected about what happened.

"Stay away from my brother!!" Cold Melody.
