MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
052. I'M NOT THE QUEEN

Niko sat on the large sofa leaning against the corner of the sofa, her left hand on the side handle of the sofa supporting her head. He took Melody who was playing the piano in his house very seriously.

The piano type of grand piano black was played very nicely by Melody. Making the objects in Niko's magnificent house come alive after almost never being touched.

In awe Niko gave a round of applause to Melody. He loved the girl more and more with all the amazing things he made.

"The piano was almost untouchable, Nausha only played it occasionally when it came and since I just moved into this house again, the piano was abandoned." Niko.

Melody turned her seat around and looked at Niko who was still leaning on the sofa.

"You can play the piano too?" Ask Melody.

"No. There's no musical instrument I'm good at." Niko smiled. "You should come here more often so that the piano doesn't become junk."

"Do I want to teach you to make a piano as good as this not to be junk?"

Niko laughed in response and shook her head to answer.

"The piano is yours now." Niko.

"To be honest, I'd rather play guitar than piano. You're like Ars, he can't play the piano either. You have to learn that even my brothers and Lion can play the piano. But of them Oto's most proficient. He's very good at playing classical music, his favorite music."

Melody turned her face sad. She remembered her brother who had not seen her for several days because he always locked himself in the room or went somewhere.

"What's wrong?" Ask Niko.

Melody shook her head and endured her sadness, then looked at Niko. There was a question that disturbed him at this moment.

"Niko, after you took me to Russia and got married, what can I do?"

Niko took her seat and looked at Melody seriously. Previously he had not thought about it because for him the more important thing was to marry Melody and take her to Russia.

"Whatever you want, you can do it. We'll continue school there, after that you don't have to do anything. I'm going to college and continue my parents' big business, you just have to go with me and play piano or guitar for me sometimes."

Melody tried not to show Niko her sad face. She had already decided to follow all of Niko's plans in her life. Even though he was really sad about it.

"Didn't you want to? Or do you still want to do something for yourself?" Look closely Niko. "Do you mind all my words? You want to work too?"

"Why would I work if I had a very rich husband like you." Answer Melody.

"Yes, I'm so rich, I'll make you queen."

"No, Niko." Melody. "The queen did everything alone, she was the one in power. I will only accompany you as your partner, you have power over me. That's what happens after we get married."

Niko smiled happily. He understood Melody's intentions. The girl will obey all her words and whatever her decision after marrying him.

Lion eats ice cream on his bike at his friend Hansen's workshop. He lay face down on his motorbike with a bite of lollipop ice cream in his mouth.

"I miss you so much my beautiful Megan." Said Lion hugging his motorbike after finishing his ice cream stick. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to take you back with me."

Hansen who was busy with a motorbike could only laugh in wonder at Lion's behavior while shaking his head.

"Hans, I still have to leave my girlfriend to you. You have to take good care of her."

"Nobody left his girlfriend. You're weird." Answer Hansen.

Lion was silent because Hansen's words were correct. He just hugged his bike back by stroking his face into the tank.

"You're crazy, Lion!!" Anna exclaimed as she walked in and opened her helmet.

"A—Anna?" Lion was surprised and immediately sat on his motorbike. "Why are you here?"

"Thank you, Hans." Anna returns the keys to Hansen's bike.

"You know Hans?" Lion asked confusedly. "Geez, you're the coolest woman I know, Anna."

"And you're the most lying man I know, you idiot!!" Anna approached Lion.

"Why did you leave your bike here? And act like losing her? In order to complain about things that are not true, right?"

"What are you talking about?" Lion still denies. "Where to go see Ars, he's jittery after you turn off his phone after not coming home all night. He's gonna kill you!!"

Anna meets Aramis who was waiting for her at the restaurant the last time they came together. With an unfriendly face Aramis looked at Anna who was walking towards her. Anna knows that Aramis must be upset with her at the moment, but she tries to act normal.

"Where are you from?" Aramis asked fiercely. "Why did you hang up on him?"

Anna did not answer him and started grilling the meat to a grill that was already very hot because Aramis did not touch it.

"Eat first, I'm already very hungry. My head hurts because I haven't had lunch yet." Anna.

Aramis softened after hearing Anna's complaint and changed her sitting position. He looked at Anna with concern at this moment.

"You okay? Why are your eyes so big?" Aramis looked into Anna's eyes who was busy putting vegetables into the pot to boil them. "Eat first, don't get sick." Aramis flipped the meat over the grill after which noticed the meat was ripe before it was put on Anna's plate. "If you're hungry, don't ask me to wait here for you."

"I thought you'd cook it while waiting for me to come." Answer Anna.

"All right, I'm sorry. Just eat it." Aramis dipped the vegetable whether it was ripe or not and gave it to Anna.

"I went to my old house yesterday." Anna said while eating her food.

"You should have asked me to drive you."

"Then you came to spend the night with me there, did you?" Look at Anna annoyed.

"I didn't say that. I can go home after you drop off and come back today to pick you up. What's wrong with me staying overnight? I'm not gonna fuck with you. You're stronger than me."

"I also met my father in prison earlier."

Anna's words made Aramis look at her and see Anna's grim countenance. He knew Anna was sad right now.

"You better not meet him!!"

"Yes, you're right. I shouldn't have seen him." Anna said with tears in her eyes.

"Here, eat first!! Don't talk anymore!!" Aramis added meat to Anna's bowl. "You're getting thinner."

The two of them did not say anything until they finished their meal.

"You want to add more? Let me get you some more meat or vegetables." Aramis.

"I'm full already." Answer Anna.

"Anna, next time you want to go to that house or see your father you'll have to take me!!" Aramis. "I know you're sad, I don't want to see you sad. I told you that you miss your mother you should tell me." Aramis held Anna's left hand on the table with her right hand.

Suddenly Anna hit Aramis' hand with the chopsticks she was holding, making Aramis in pain.

"Why did you hit my hand?!" Aramis exasperatedly made some visitors look at him.

"Don't act so cool to me!!"

"You're this." Aramis muttered in annoyance. "Anna, do we need to get engaged first?"

Anna was surprised to hear Aramis question. He didn't think Aramis would talk about it again now. The discussion he most wanted to avoid.

"Melo will also be engaged before getting married. Should we do that too?"

"You better focus on your graduation exam!!Don't think about anything else!! I've never seen you study now. You should start studying because the exam is in a minute!!"

"You're always talking about it, but what I'm saying is more important." Aramis murmured after that gulp down his drink.
