MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
087. LOVE AND TEARS

"Tomorrow you must go to school, Ars." Anna exclaimed to Aramis who was monitoring the news of Dion who had surrendered himself through his cellphone.

"Lion must have done something until he turned himself in." Aramis did not heed Anna's words.

"Don't pretend not to hear what I'm saying!!"

For a moment Aramis remained silent, she absolutely did not want to leave Anna even if only to school. Anna became silent by continuing to look at the young man from his bed, until finally Aramis turned her eyes that were originally on the cellphone to look at Anna.

"Please let me be with you until you're gone." Aramis Pinta. "When you're gone I'm gonna go back to school and desperately study for the graduation exam, but please don't ask me to go to school or leave you while you're still with me."

Anna thought of Aramis' words that seemed very pleading to her, then afterwards smiled broadly to give an answer like Aramis wanted.

"This time your grades should be much nicer. Since I'm still with you I'll help you bela—"

Aramis immediately scooped Anna's lips with hers before she could finish her sentence.

"I miss you so much even when you're in front of me, Anna. " Say Aramis and once again kiss the girl who is about to leave her.

After Niko returns from Melody's house after dinner, Leo's father Melody wants to discuss Niko's plans with her daughter. Before speaking to Niko again, she was curious about Melody's feelings and responses to the young man.

"Melo, your three older brothers are likely not going to school these few days, the day after father also has to prepare for the exhibition which will be held around next month. I've asked Niko to take you to school as long as your brothers don't." Said Leo.

"Yes, I heard you too." Melody answered sitting in front of her father at the dinner table.

"As for Niko's plan to get engaged to you and get married, are you seriously agreeing to it? You're still very young. I'm afraid you'll regret it."

"If you're sorry I'm going to keep going, dad." Melody replied with a bow to her head. "Niko really wanted to marry me, I've agreed to it too. Dad also said that he would always agree to all our decisions, so for this I want you to agree to that too."

"Did you love Niko so much that you agreed to it too?"

Her father's question made Melody look at Leo for a moment but again lowered her head again.

"I've heard it's better to live with the person who loves you than to live with the person you love." Melody bit her lower lip after saying that. "So I thought I'd be happy with Niko."

"But the thing you said wasn't entirely true Melo. You won't be able to feel true happiness with people you don't love. How much happier it would be to live together in love with each other." Leo tried to wake his daughter. "You also just know Niko, I'm very worried if you're just— at the moment"

"Dad doesn't have to worry about it." Cut Melody by squeezing her clasped hands to hold back her sadness. "Father also need not worry, because I also heard that love will grow when togetherness is well established. I just need time to feel it. Niko was a good person, and I tried to open my heart to her because it definitely wouldn't take me long to make me love her."

Leo took a deep breath hearing the words of his only daughter. He can't say anything. The more forbidden his daughter will certainly be more against, such is the nature of his four children.

"Lion also said that Niko was a good person." Leo's words made Melody look at him. "Well, if you're so sure of your decision. I'll tell Niko if you agree to it."

Tasya stood outside the ICCU room staring into the window of the room where Athos was being treated. She could not stop her tears from flowing to see the man she loved was still in a critical state.

"Ato, please open your eyes, I'm here. Even I can only see you from behind this window." Lirih Tasya's.

Prothus came to his twin, and held Tasya's shoulders to appease him.

"Oto, I want to go inside. I want to be around him right now. He must have wanted me to be by his side." Tasya cried in Prothos' arms. "I want to go inside and hold her hand. I want to kiss her. Ato must have been waiting for me and wondered why I wasn't next to him at the moment. I'm afraid Ato will hate me for it. Please help me get in there."

There was nothing Prothos could do to fulfill Tasya's plea. He could only let the much-loved girl of his twin cry in his arms.

"That fucking asshole just turned himself in." Said Lion standing while aiming at the dartboard. It was just him and Ivan at his friend's house.

"He's a loser." Said Ivan who was just sitting on the sofa, the two of them were in the garden behind Ivan's house which had become their basecamp when gathered. "Isn't that good, Lion?"

Suddenly Lion threw an arrow at Ivan, making his friend surprised but did not move in the slightest. The arrow that Lion threw stuck into the back of the sofa beside Ivan's head.

"Fuck you, how about I get my face?" Ivan looked at Lion.

"You must have done something, didn't you, Ivan?" Look Lion. "I shouldn't have given 1 x 24 hours. I wanted to make him suffer. Why did you mess it up?"

"It's Lion, the important thing is that he gave himself up. That's good, right, Ato definitely doesn't want to make you do anything stupid anymore. Let him be punished."

"Now I have no chance of making him suffer, Ivan. I really want to play games with him, you know what the loser's behavior has been like? She acted as if no one would touch her, I was sick of seeing her. If it wasn't for Ato's request, I wouldn't want to be friends with that fucking asshole."

"You've told me so many times." Answer Ivan. "I just don't want you to go too far because of emotions. Especially until it shows your fangs, it will make you so unlike usual. All of our friends will definitely change their attitude towards you. They won't consider you his friend anymore but they'll be afraid of you. It's the same as you acting like a fucking asshole Dion."

Lion laughed at Ivan's words. He sat down next to Ivan.

"You're my best friend, Ivan." Embrace Lion to Ivan. "Today let's accompany me to meet Duarte, I want to practice again. I want to challenge someone?"

"Challenging someone?" Ivan asked in surprise. "Who do you want to challenge?"

"The invincible monster." Lion stood up again. "If I win, I'll cut off all my relationships with him and with anyone in his family." Lion throws an arrow and hits the target.

Ivan was surprised to hear Lion's reply which looked very certain.
