MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
059. A PAIR OF TIGERS PASSED THROUGH ALL TOGETHER

Anna went out of her house to the house across the street. He wants to meet Aramis at this time to show his new look. At the same time Lion also came out of his house.

"Anne." Call Lion to Anna. "You want to see Ars now?"

"Sooner or later I have to see him. And again he asked me to accompany him to dinner later at his painting competition. It's my way of telling him I can't come."

Lion said nothing, he just kept quiet because he did not have the right word to say at this time to Anna.

"After this maybe I'll move so we don't see each other before I leave. Two weeks away from her exams I'll just try to avoid meeting her during that time at school." Anna tried to smile to make herself feel better. "Lion, thank you for helping me out so much and keeping it a secret from Ars."

...***...

Aramis takes off Anna's hat and sees Anna shaving her hair. Everyone there was shocked, let alone Aramis.

Aramis tries to hold back his anger seeing the girl he plans to marry if she has extended her hair instead of shaving her hair. He could not believe what he was seeing now.

"So this is your answer to my plan for another year?" Aramis's gaze was seen restraining his emotions. Aramis snorted in disbelief. "You should never answer it and always switch my conversation every time I talk about it."

Anna was silent, she tried not to let out her tears. Even though she really wanted to cry.

"YOU'RE NOT A NORMAL WOMAN, ANNA!! THERE IS NO NORMAL WOMAN LIKE YOU!! I SHOULD HAVE REALIZED FROM THE START THAT YOU WERE NOT NORMAL!!"

"Ars!!" Athos, who is still sitting in the living room, tries to stop Aramis' bad remarks to Anna, the girl he loves.

"My answer, have you been pranking me all this time?" Staring at Aramis, his eyes reddened with anger and sadness. "Is it all just your plan to prank me like this?"

Anna began to be unable to stem her tears, but she quickly wiped them away. The words Aramis was accusing him of just pranking her sounded very painful.

"Yes, you must have been pranking me all this time. Ever since, even as a child, you loved to prank me. You've always pranked me without ever thinking about my feelings since I was a kid. And now that you're the same, you prank me like this without thinking about my feelings."

"ALRIGHT ANNA, YOU WON! YOU'RE THE WINNER!! YOU MANAGED TO WORK ON ME AGAIN AND AGAIN!! YOU WON!!" Aramis subconsciously pushed Anna until the girl retreated backwards.

"Stop, brother!!" Melody exclaimed towards Aramis and Anna who were standing at the door. Melody restrains Aramis because her brother unknowingly pushes Anna violently.

"Go, I don't want to see you again." Cold Aramis. "I've had enough of your mockery to prank me like this. You're the one who finally won! Go before I actually hit you, you bastard!!"

After saying so, Aramis immediately went up the stairs and entered his room angrily.

Anna turned around with tears flowing. The girl opened the door and walked out of the house. Lion standing beside the door heard everything. But Anna immediately left the house without a word, and did not say anything to Lion who looked at her.

Lion was holding back his emotions at this moment. Seeing Anna leaving with sadness on her after hearing Aramis words, made her very unbearable to see it. He tried to restrain himself from doing anything or meddling in the matter, but no one would have the heart to see a girl hear harsh words from the young man he loved. Likewise with Lion, he could no longer hold himself back at this moment.

Lion violently opened the door and entered the house. Everyone stared at his presence in bewilderment, but Lion immediately walked with wide steps up the stairs and into Aramis' room.

Aramis who was sitting on the floor stared at the presence of Lion who looked very angry from his face.

"You should apologize to her!!" Lion.

"He should be the one apologizing to me. All this time he just pranked me. I'm really embarrassing."

"I SAID YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO HER!!" The Lion was very upset.

Lion instantly pulled Aramis up and dragged her out of the room. Then he struck Aramis many times. Aramis did not retaliate and only pushed the Lion continuously who was unwilling to stop hitting him.

"Stop, shit!!" Aramis finally hit Lion to stop his best friend from beating him.

"You fuck, Ars!!" Said the cold Lion.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you defending him? You have to defend me!!" Aramis.

Lion laughed in annoyance by shaking his head at Aramis' words.

"You're acting like this you're the victim." Lion said, his gaze cold on Aramis. "You haven't changed, you're still as stupid as you used to be, Ars. Even you act like that to the girl you love. You didn't listen to my words either. I can't believe this. Anna, you're so sorry."

"What do you mean, you idiot?" Aramis on Lion. "Did he affect you? Did he instigate you?"

"I'll break your neck if you say that again, Ars!!" Lion. "You will regret all your words to him!! He had already suffered greatly with all the burdens he had borne alone all this time. And you add to it that hurtful word to her."

"Say the obvious, Lion!! What do you mean?!" Aramis gripped Lion to make Lion clear. "Is there something Anna's hiding from me?"

...***...

Anna sits alone by the river she used to go with Aramis. The river is the backdrop for Aramis painting.

Her sadness was over, at least the girl thought that way when there was nothing else she had to cry about. Anna felt she didn't have to think of Aramis' hurtful words, after all, they were her hopes. He wanted to make Aramis hate him, and he managed to do it.

Right now he just wants to focus on his treatment. He'll be cured, and if all is well, he's planning on going back to Aramis. He would apologize to the young man he loved so much, whatever he would do to make Aramis forgive him. But even then, if he doesn't lose his memory of Aramis, or the operation goes smoothly.

The sun is starting to set. Anna intended to leave the river and walk back home. Aramis must have gone to dinner that night so she didn't have to be afraid of meeting him when she got home.

Drrrttt drrrttt drrrrttt

Anna picked up her phone as she walked away from the river in slow steps. Lion called.

"You should know Anna, every night when she stays at my house, she always says your name in her sleep, even before you come back. He's been looking for you for a long time, he's been going to schools looking for you but the students at that school think he's coming to challenge them. He always acts stupid without thinking anything."

Anna began to tear her tears again hearing Lion's words on the other end of the phone.

"When you come again, he's getting more and more stupid because of you. He looked very happy and more excited in every way. But he's a fool, he doesn't even know what happened to you, but you're always together." Follow Lion slowly. "Adding to what he said to you just shows how stupid he is, right?"

Anna laughs a little at Lion's taunts about Aramis, though tears still run down her cheeks. Anna is now walking towards the bridge over the river. The bridge is also the backdrop for Aramis paintings.

"As her best friend I apologize to you for the hurtful words. You're gonna forgive that idiot, right?" Ask Lion. "And I also apologize, as before, I don't want to promise you. because I know I won't be able to keep that promise."

Anna raised her head and watched at the end of the bridge.

"I'm sorry, I told everything to, Ars."

At the same time Anna saw Aramis appear at the other end of the bridge. The young man stopped his steps when he saw Anna.

"It's best for a pair of tigers to go through everything together." Lion.
