MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
055. THE SORROW OF A PAIR OF TIGERS

Anna opened the door of her house when someone pressed the bell. He already knew who was coming because when he came home from school, he contacted the person to ask him to help him do something.

"You brought what I asked for?" Anna asked sitting on the living room sofa looking at the young man standing before her not far from the entrance. "Ars is going to the cafe, she won't interfere."

"You sure you want to do it?" Look at Lion who carries a pouch held in his left hand. "Why did you ask me to do it?"

...***...

Melody sat on the bed while opening her school's website forum which was always used as a place to interact all students in school. He saw videos and photos of himself and Lion as Lion carried him to the UKS room earlier in the school. This is currently the topic of discussion in the forum.

They are so complicated, what exactly happened to that girl? Why would he feel afraid of his future fiancee and let Lion carry her?

Did you see Niko's face? It's so sorry for him. Melody played them both. Was it because he felt benefited from being the Musketeers' sister, that he was playing with them both?

I thought the same thing. She is indeed beautiful like her three handsome brothers but with such a nature why can Niko like her? Niko can get the better of Melody.

What about Lion? Was she acting like that to him just because they were friends? I guess when she found out that girl was getting engaged she shouldn't have interfered anymore.

Though yesterday I heard Lion was dating Karen, but what happened today is very confusing.

Melody is to blame. He must have just acted. Niko did nothing to him. He was just looking for the attention of both of them.

I agree with that too. Her three older brothers who pampered her made her an arrogant girl.

Melody felt guilty about everything that happened. More and more female disciples hated her at this moment. Aside from Melody's cold nature, all of her deeds were considered negative just because she was the third sister of the famous Musketeers.

Suddenly a picture appears that according to Melody should be owned only by herself and Niko. While in the cinema, Niko wrapped her hands around Melody's neck from behind and made a gesture of wanting to suck blood on Melody's neck by bowing her head to Melody's right neck.

She was scared because I wanted to suck her blood again. Don't talk bad things to my future fiance!! I will not forgive you all!!

Melody was surprised when the username was Niko's name. He just remembered that Niko did often open the forum because not infrequently the photos of him were taken secretly circulating there.

But Melody felt embarrassed because Niko spread the photo and said something like that to defend her.

He dropped himself on the bed. He should like Niko as soon as possible, that's what he currently has in mind. That's what Lion wants, too.

"Melo, can uncle come in?" Suddenly Ronald's voice came from outside.

Melody immediately opened the door of her room and sat down on the side of the bed. Ronald looked at her before saying anything to her nephew.

"Melo, are you okay?" Ronald asked in the chair. "Would we go see a psychologist? Tomorrow you can go with uncle to see uncle's friend."

"No uncle, I'm fine. I was just surprised."

...***...

"Because only you know my secret." Answer Anna. "I have to, because it looks like it's getting worse and it looks weird."

Anna answered Lion's question. No one knows the secret of Anna's illness except Ronald and Lion.

"Anna, you better tell Ars about your illness." Lion.

Anna shakes.

"Then what will you do when Ars sees you?"

"I plan to sell this house and leave."

"You want to leave Ars?" Lion asked in wonder.

"Without telling Ars the truth?"

"I don't want him to worry about me." Anna looked at Lion to let him understand. "I want to go back when I'm healed to see him, but there's something I can't be sure about."

Lion could already guess what it was about. He did not want to ask because it must have been very painful for Anna.

"I won't remember it anymore, or..." Anna stopped talking holding back her tears. "I'm leaving this world and I won't be able to see her again." Anna's tears began to flow uncontrollably and her chest felt tight as she said so.

"Therefore you must tell him now. That's not fair to Ars."

"Well, is that fair to me?" Ask Anna with a clean slit. "At least let him hate me so that when I'm gone he won't suffer."

Lion held back his anger for disagreeing with Anna's words but he could do nothing.

"It's not easy for me, Lion. I want to heal and be able to achieve what he wants. I wanted to grow my hair and marry her for another year. Therefore, this is also unfair to me."

Lion approached Anna and sat down beside the girl who was very sad. He did not want to say anything more to her, and he became very sad to hear everything. Lion could only let Anna cry on his shoulders.

...***...

Anna sits in her room, looking through photos of herself with Aramis in the mobile phone gallery. He uses a hoodie with a head covering over the hat he wears. Sometimes she wiped her tears. There was a faint smile on her pale lips when she saw the photos.

Suddenly the sound of her door opening. It's nine o'clock by now. He knew Aramis was coming in. He heard her step up the stairs and knocked on Anna's door. Anna didn't budge from her place.

"You're asleep?" Ask Aramis.

"I'll sleep in a minute. Go home." Anna answered from the room.

"I brought you something. Tomorrow there is a dinner for all the participants of the painting competition who passed the selection round, and I passed. You heard, right?"

"Yes I heard." Sahut Anna's.

"I want you to come with me to that dinner. You can eat all that there. Last year the food was so good, you should try it because that's why I want to take you."

"Why did you just say that?" Anna asked, wiping away the tears that were dripping down her cheeks.

"There was news of that today." Aramis. "You must also refuse to come along for many reasons if I say so long ago."

Anna got up from her seat and stood behind the door hearing Aramis say. He did not intend to open the door and meet the young man, but he felt that he was eager to get close to Aramis. But the girl could only stand behind the door with tears of sadness.

"You should wear it to that dinner, you can't resist anymore." Aramis. "I put it here. I'm going home now."

After that Aramis walked away and out of Anna's house.

Anna immediately opened the door of her room and saw a totebag on the hanger of the bedroom doorknob. Anna took it.

She slowly opened and took out a red dress and a pair of black shoes with high heels. Both look so beautiful in her eyes.

Seeing her made Anna cry. Because he couldn't come to that dinner. Although in fact he really wants to come accompany Aramis.

He removed the head covering along with the hat he was wearing. Anna shaved off all her hair by asking Lion for help this afternoon. The effects of chemotherapy make him have to do that because his hair is experiencing very severe loss.

Anna was crying as she resigned herself to her current state.
