MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
049. THE FOUR OF YOU ARE VERY SAD

Lion was surprised to hear Karen. She didn't think at all that someone who called her last night asked her to date. He became confused by the present situation he was facing.

"You're not gonna pull your words, are you?" Look Karen. "I've been watching you for a long time, but since you were close to Melody so I was wrong to guess all along. After the news that Melody and Niko are getting engaged went viral I got the courage to tell you. I said that last night, didn't I?"

"Sarin."

"Karen, my name is Karen." Karen.

"Ah yes sorry, Karen, actually ter.." Lion's words stopped when he saw Melody behind the door that was not tightly closed.

Melody who was still stealing heard not realizing that Lion could see him in his current position.

Lion took his breath and reached into his pants pocket. He took out a lollipop and thrust it at Karen. Karen looked at him confused.

"I'll call you later. Instead, it's for you." Lion handed his lollipop candy into Karen's hands straight away, Melody watched it.

"All right." Karen smiled happily. "At school I'm waiting for you to call me."

Melody immediately hid as she saw Karen walking towards the door with a blushing smile on her sweet face.

"Come out, I know you're there." Lion cried waiting for Melody to appear.

Melody immediately walked into the roof afterwards. He tried to focus on his goal of meeting the Lion, and did not want to think about what Karen had said earlier. Even though it bothers him so much at the moment.

"I told you not to meet me here." Lion.

"I already know the meaning that you and Niko have to say. What does that mean about the oath? Why do you swear at her like that?"

"For Niko to make that deal with your sister."

"How strong is that oath?"

"That doesn't need to be discussed anymore—"

"... You just focus on your plans..." Melody guessed what Lion wanted to say to her. "You take it easy, I'll follow what you said at that time. I've let Niko get close to me, even we've been planning on getting engaged and getting married soon after she took me to Russia. Everything is going as well as you want. I followed all your words until I threw away my dreams. I've thrown everything away to hear what you said." Melody started to shed her tears. "Now you must be happy, right? Moreover, you already have a girlfriend as sweet as the popular Karen now."

Sadness also pervades Lion at the moment but he tries not to show it to Melody. He felt so guilty about the girl. He regretted all his actions that had not listened to anyone before.

"You and my brother are the same. You're both stupid. I hate you so much now, I should have realized that sooner." Melody wiped her tears. "Congratulations, you and my brother are the same. Things are going well in your life. You can do what you like and be with the people you love. From now on Niko and I will look for our happiness together."

Athos's move was blocked by several women in one of his branches that he visited after school.

"Ato, have you and Tasya broken up?" Asked one of the five women who approached him.

"You're giving up, Ato? Is it because Tasya is getting married soon? The news has been widely circulated. Your last post got everyone to figure out what happened until the news broke."

"We thought you wouldn't give up."

"I can what?" Athos put on a pitiful face. "I've let it go. Let him live with his fiancee. It's not what I want either."

Athos went straight into the dressing room. He punched the locker very hard. He's very upset at the moment. Although he received a lot of support from the comments that he uploaded, but in fact the destiny that will be willing to all the plans that he has prepared carefully.

"I'm ready even though fate doesn't take my side!!"

...***...

"You like me, don't you?" looking at Prothos fixedly, his hand grabbed the woman. "You can do anything to my face and body, but I don't want to have any relationship with you. Do you want to?"

"Why? I want us to date."

"I don't have the heart to love another girl anymore. If you agree we continue but if you don't want to, please you can go."

"Well, I agree, I want to fuck you."

Prothus immediately dropped the woman onto the bed and kissed her while undressing the girl one by one.

"I love you, Widia." whispered Prothos to the woman whose name he did not know.

At the hospital, Anna, who had just finished chemotherapy, walked into Ronald's waiting room. Unlike the usual who just stood, at this time the girl was sitting in the chair in front of the opposite table of Ronald's chair.

"I've resigned as OSIS uncle's chairman. I'll take more rest now. I hope I'll get well soon. Can you cure me? I want to heal uncle. Do you know about Ars' plan for me in a year? He also said he would marry me when my hair was too long. I want to lengthen my hair after this treatment. But before that because of the effects of this treatment Ars would have mistakenly, promise me what Ars told me you still shouldn't say about my illness to him." Anna held back her tears from flowing out. "I don't want him to know. Do you understand uncle?"

"Anna, how about we do a craniotomy?" Ask Ronald. "The spread is getting faster, I'm afraid the stage is getting more and more difficult to do the lifting."

"What are the worst postoperative side effects?"

"Your memory will be disturbed, you will amnesia or even lose your memory forever. " Answer Ronald. "Or the worst you won't survive."

...***...

Anna thought of other options of treatment for her illness. He wanted to get well soon but the side effects of the post-surgery scared him greatly. Especially if the operation is not going well. He did not want to leave Aramis. He wants to be with her always.

He picked up the phone in his knee-length denim pocket, and immediately called Aramis while he was in the hospital toilet.

"Where are you? Isn't there an OSIS meeting?" Ask Aramis. "You're not going with another guy, are you?"

"Ars, did you get the title of your painting?" Ask Anna.

"I'm confused. It's not like usual. Usually when painting I give it a title first just start painting. But this time it's not like that." Answer Aramis.

"The face of a pair of tigers." Anna. "That's the title."

"Ke—why sounds so pathetic?" Ask Aramis in wonder. "Find another title, I don't like."

"That's the title that came to mind when I first saw it." Answer Anna. "That's a nice painting but your painting background makes a sad impression. The view of the river at the end of the day, the dark sky that looks grim, a tiger that backs its partner tiger and the reflection of silhouettes on the river from a tiger that looks impossible. It all looked like a deep sorrow to that pair of tigers."

"What are you talking about?" Aramis was heard laughing in astonishment with a snort. "Today this week a winner will be announced. Saturday's title submission, so think of another title!!" After saying that Aramis hung up the phone.

Anna opened the hat she always used now when she was on the toilet in the hospital. He looked at himself in the mirror reflection, and saw his hair getting thinner. Even lately she uses makeup so that her face does not look more and more thin.

He started to shed tears looking at himself. He recalled Melody's words yesterday.

"Melo, you're saying wrong. Your brother Ars will suffer because of me." Say it with a soft. "The four of you are so pathetic."
