MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
080. ALREADY IN LOVE

Athos opens the door to the room where Anna is being treated. Anna had still not woken up from her coma at this moment. There was only Ronald sitting in the chair waiting for Anna while Aramis asked his uncle to come home to rest.

"Where's Ars?" Ask Athos.

"I told him to go home so he could rest." Answer Ronald. "How is the cafe going to open tomorrow? Is all the preparation ready?"

"You don't need to worry, I've prepared it very well." Athos answered, standing at the door. "How's Anna doing, uncle? Ars looks pretty fucked up thinking about it."

"He should be operated on immediately. After he realized I'd take him to Germany for surgery. It seems that it can't be delayed any longer."

"Is there any chance he won't come to his senses?"

"All things are always possible. We can only surrender to fate." Answer Ronald. "Ato, your father's home?"

"Yes, he's home Melo said."

"Please take care of Anna for a moment, I want to call your father."

"All right."

Athos approaches Anna's bed after Ronald leaves the room. The young man momentarily looked at the girl loved by one of his twin. The famous smart and strong girl was lying unconscious.

He knows how much Aramis loves Anna. Therefore he wanted to say something to the girl to make her keep fighting, just like her who would keep fighting for her love.

"Anna, I don't know what to tell you. Lately everything has been heavy for all of us. For Oto, Melo, even Ars, so for me. You know Anna, I've always thought of all the plans I've made. The closer the time will come, the more scared I will be, but I have to do it without a doubt. I will never give up on fate, until it's fate that gives up on me. I'll do it tomorrow, everything will go according to my plan."

Athos was silent for a moment as his breathing felt heavy.

"All I'm gonna do is keep Tasya from marrying that loser. I'm even willing to lose myself as long as Tasya doesn't marry him." Athos. "Do you know anything about Anna's secret? Before being with him I had been in love with him for a long time, even before I knew him. I also know that someone always tortures her with violence, so I don't want Tasya to marry that loser after knowing that he's been torturing her all along."

"Anna, maybe tomorrow I won't survive, because that's at least wake up, Ars' grief will be many times over when we're both gone. He might be destroyed like Oto. You can't give in to fate until fate gives up on you."

...***...

Melody walked out of the house after getting ready for Tasya's wedding. He was about to go with Niko who represented his uncle who received the invitation of the event.

"As usual your looks are always awesome, Melody." Said Niko who got out of the car as Melody exited the house.

Melody looked into Niko's car. It is not usual for Niko to use a driver to drive her away.

"My hands have been hurting since last night. It's safer not to drive now." Said Niko who began to understand with Melody's gaze.

"Would check back when you go home. You're also getting pale. You okay?" Melody asked looking worried at Niko.

Niko instead smiled looking at Melody's worries at him at this moment. "Do I have to keep getting sick so you're always worried about me?" Niko. "I'm doing fine. Let's go." Niko opens the door for Melody.

Melody sat on Niko's left side in the car. He just stared out the window of the car door as was his habit when he was in the car.

"Is the view out there more interesting than mine?" Niko's question made Melody turn to her. "You've never praised my performance, but I wish you'd praised me a little."

Melody began to notice Niko who indeed today looked different. He was wearing a black suit while the long coat he used to wear was only hooked to his shoulders.

"You're so handsome Niko, all the girls at school always say that about you." Melody replied after that turning her face away from Niko again and looking back out the car window.

Niko fell silent, to be honest she was disappointed because it was not the sentence she wanted to hear. Melody did not give her own opinion and only said what the female students at her school said about her. But Niko could not say anything more because she herself knew that her good looks did not make the girl interested in him.

"I understand why I didn't interest you in my good looks." Niko muttered in a slow voice, she did not expect Melody to hear it. "Three of your sisters are handsome and even one of them is much more handsome than me." Niko comforted herself a little so as not to be too disappointed at Melody's reply earlier.

Melody turned her head back to Niko who was currently also looking out the car door window. The girl realized that what she said was wrong. Spontaneously Melody held Niko's left hand still wrapped in bandages to make the young man not seem sad with the answer earlier.

Niko was surprised and immediately turned her head, as Melody held her hand and it was an impossible thing after the girl felt fear for Niko. Although Melody held her hand wrapped in bandages, it made Niko very happy.

"Is your hand still hurting?" Stare Melody clasped Niko's left hand with a slight swipe.

"When the pain is gone." Answer Niko.

"Go home from there I'll accompany you to check it again. I want your hands to heal before our engagement."

"Yes, okay." Niko replied slightly whispering, she continued to stare at the face of Melody who was staring at her. Happiness came from his eyes.

...***...

Tasya sat on the chair in front of the dressing table. She was ready with all the makeup and wedding dresses she wore. Her already extremely beautiful face was increasingly shining with makeup at this moment. But what power, the girl could not stop the tears of sadness that continued to flow outward.

Soon she was to marry Dion, but Athos did not answer all her messages or calls. He became doubtful about Melody's words on the phone. He wanted Athos to come immediately and take him away from there. But it seems that will not happen. It all made Tasya feel disappointed at Athos.

"The mood is a mess if you keep crying." Keke exclaimed while wiping away the girl's tears.

"I don't want to get married, I don't care about her makeup." Answer Tasya.

Suddenly the door of the room opened and Dion walked over to Tasya. Tasya immediately moved from her seat.

"Look Tasya, there's nothing your lover can do. I don't see him being here. She must have given up because she knew she couldn't do anything." Dion stood in front of Tasya. "He can only bluff. Actually he's a coward."

"You coward, Dion!!" Tasya looked at Dion hatefully. "He's not a coward. He will stop this marriage. I'm so sure."

Dion did not care about the existence of some makeup artists and Keke who were there. The young man slapped Tasya in the face very hard, but Tasya looked at Dion's face so sharply again that Tasya got a slap once again.

"Stop!!" Keke tries to stop Dion's actions.

"You're a coward, Dion. You only dare to hurt a woman." Tasya said with her tears.

This time Dion clenched his hand and hit Tasya's face until the beautiful face became bruised. The girl could only cry with the violence she got.

"It's nothing, Tasya. You'll take it more than this after our marriage." Sneer Dion with cunning.

"He'll come, I'm sure of it." Tasya endured the pain and looked at Dion with great confidence.
