MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
051. TIME IS HEALING

Anna wakes up in a room in a simple house she once occupied. He looked around the room whose size was not too big. When compared to his current home, it was much smaller and the room he was in now was much narrower than his current room. But the house has many memories with his late mother.

Anna slowly walked around every corner of the house. He's been thinking about something since yesterday. She planned to sell her current home for surgery, and this was the last time she would come to this house before the surgery, before she lost her memory of her deceased mother.

All the furniture in the house was still very complete because Anna did not want to sell or move her memories to the mother who was in every corner of the room.

"I miss you, ma'am." Anna's tears flowed out as she stared at the photo of her hugging her mother. The photo was taken a few months before his mother died. "Sometimes I think that this disease can make me meet you sooner, and that's a good thing. But every time I think about it I still want to stay alive, ma'am."

Anna wiped her tears cleanly. Feel the pain in the head that is getting more and more painful. With nausea she finally ran to the toilet and vomited. Every day he must be tormented to feel all the symptoms of his illness. But all of it was not too painful beyond his fear of having to forget Aramis or even leave him because of the failure of the operation.

When the break bell rang, Lion saw Karen enter his classroom, without a second thought Lion immediately hid under his desk. Melody and Niko who were still in his place noticed him.

"Lion!!" Karen looked down at the table where Lion was hiding. All eyes noticed his presence. "What are you doing under the table?"

Lion just grinned to show his teeth because it turns out Karen knows where he is. Reluctantly, he quickly walked out from under the table and immediately ran out of his class.

"Why does he keep running? Am I a ghost?" Karen was upset.

Everyone in the class laughed at Lion's behavior and listened to Karen mutter but not Melody.

"Who is he? Why did Lion avoid it?" Tanya Niko still laughed in surprise seeing Lion.

Melody did not answer and remained silent. The girl felt that she did not want to think about Lion and Karen because that was none of her business.

"So it turns out to be true that Karen approached Lion? Some say they're already dating." Rinka was still sitting in her place in front of Melody. "Didn't Lion tell you, Mel?"

"What did he tell me? That's none of my business." Answer Melody ketus.

Niko smiled at Melody's words. Spontaneously Niko held the girl's right hand with her left hand wearing gloves. Melody who was watching out the window was surprised and turned to Niko. His desire to pull his hand outweighed when he saw Niko smiling at him.

"Going to school and playing to my house, how?"

Melody immediately pulled out her hand as Niko said so.

"Just calm down, I'm not gonna fuck with you. I swear. The vow of a Russian man is very strong, if I break I will take my own life."

Melody was stunned to hear that. He remembered Lion's oath to Niko. Did what Niko said happen to Lion? But Melody didn't want to think about it anymore because it wasn't important to her.

"Don't swear like that!! I don't like to hear such horrible words." Excited Melody. "All right, we'll go to your house later."

...***...

"Where are you, Anna? You skipped school? You didn't come home last night either." Tanya Aramis called Anna during her class break.

"I'll give you permission because there's a need, it'll be a new afternoon to go home." Anna answered on the other end of the phone.

"You don't go with a guy, do you? I'll kill you if you spend the night with a man." Aramis exclaimed and Anna answered immediately by turning off her phone. "Damn it, why turned off the phone." Aramis was upset.

Suddenly she felt someone holding her from behind. Aramis was about to get angry with that guy.

"Ars, please help me." The Lion's whisper embraced Aramis.

Aramis who saw Karen leave, immediately elbowed Lion who was still holding her until Lion grimaced in pain. Some of the people in the class laughed at him.

"Fuck you, Lion!! Why make me the object of your lies again?!" Aramis is upset.

"You don't want to, I'm so uncomfortable with that girl. He didn't stop bothering me when I told him I was gay." Lion was upset.

Some people in Aramis class started whispering with Lion's statement which he said in his usual voice.

"Be quiet, all of you!! I am normal!! I'm not gay!!" Aramis told his classmates.

"Yes he was normal after meeting Anna who was like that man." Tymphal Lion's.

"Fuck you, Lion!!" Aramis growled his arms around Lion's neck, strangling him.

All of Aramis' classmates laughed at the sight of the two friends.

...***...

Anna sat in front of a man wearing a prisoner uniform. He is his father who is in prison. For the first time Anna visited him after the man went to prison. All for his purposes who intend to sell his mother's house. He also wanted to tell his father about his illness. He hoped his father would feel his sadness as well.

"Mommy's house I'll sell for my operating expenses." Said Anna. "I'm sick and I'm sick enough."

"It's all because of what you did to me. You got karma." Replied his father who showed no empathy for him at all.

Anna held back her tears. What he heard hurt his heart. His real father was not at all saddened to hear the news. Anna left without saying anything more.

The girl walked in shaky steps as she exited the prison door to her parked motorbike. His heart was very sick at this moment hearing the words of his own biological father. He quickly got on the bike and ran it so fast with tears rolling down his face behind the helmet he was wearing.

...***...

Athos sat at the dinner table after arriving after school. He checked the expenses of the cafe to calculate its operating costs because next week the sixth cafe branch will open soon.

He is shocked by Aramis who comes dragging Prothos and pushes him into the house.

"Ato, you must advise your twin!! He was with a woman inside the hotel and it had happened many times already!!" Aramis on Athos. "She doesn't go to school but always goes with different women every day to the hotel. It's a good thing Lion told me after he got the info from his friend."

"What's my fault, Ars? I'm not forcing on those women, they're the ones who want to make love to me." Prothus defended himself. "Do not interfere in my affairs!! You understand?!"

Prothos went straight upstairs and into his room by slamming the door very hard.

"DO YOU WANT TO BE A REAL CASANOVA BY SCREWING THOUSANDS OF WOMEN?!" Aramis was full of emotion.

Athos could only stand still looking at his two twin. Indeed, he was confused what to do with his twin who had broken heart.

"Why are you quiet? Do something to her?! Every day he skipped school, got drunk and slept with a lot of girls."

"What can I do? Why don't you do it yourself?" Look coldly at Athos on Aramis. "There's nothing we can do. Let time heal itself."
