MELODY MUSKETEERS (M911 & TTM)
008. THREE REASONS TO HATE HIM

Melody sat on the side of the bed at eight in the morning. After last night not sleeping because think about what happened. He was very worried about Niko at this moment. After her brother beat her, the girl had not contacted Niko, and vice versa.

The girl picks up her phone and calls Niko who is saved with the name 911 on her phone.

"Dobroye utro, Melody (Good morning, Melody)." Niko answered Melody's phone.

Niko lay in her big bed with a very dark room because her bedroom window was covered with black curtains and her room wall paint made it darker with brown color.

"What are you doing?" Ask Melody. "Am I interrupting?"

"Yes you're bothering me, but I like it and wish you would bother me more often. I'm just gonna go to bed after last night having to find the blood of someone I want to drink." Answer Niko jokingly. "And finally I don't get anyone's blood to quench my thirst."

"You okay?" Ask Melody again.

"My anemia came back because I haven't drunk blood." Niko was still joking. "What's wrong? You missing me?"

"I think so."

Niko smiled hearing the unexpected answer from Melody.

"I'll see you soon." Melody. "Sleep for a while before I get to your house."

Melody walked out of her room, and down the stairs. Her three brothers are at the dining table with Anna and Tasya at the moment. They all instantly looked at Melody when the girl got to the bottom.

"Where are you going, Melo?" Prothos asked as Melody went down the stairs.

Melody stopped her steps and did not look at all of them. The anger was still felt by the girl on her three brothers so to look at them even made her reluctant.

"Walking to Niko." Answer Melody coldly. "I'll tell him about my decision."

"GET INTO YOUR ROOM!!" Aramis snapped directly before Melody.

Melody stared intently at her brother with hatred. Even now her brother is still acting like that. That made Melody even more angry.

"I said get in your room, you hear me?!" Aramis exclaimed with a very angry look at her younger sister.

Melody did not budge and just stared coldly at Aramis with hatred.

"Follow me!!" Aramis pulled Melody's left arm with her left hand about to drag her sister up.

"Ars, stop!!" Anna held Aramis. "Get your hands off, Ars!"

Aramis stopped but he kept holding his sister's arm with a sharp look. Melody also looked at her brother coldly.

"Even if you never forbid anyone's decision, I don't want anyone to forbid my decision." Cold Melody. "Let go of my hand!"

"Take it off, Ars." Anna pulls Aramis' left hand from Melody's arm.

Aramis releases Melody's arm from her hard hand.

Melody immediately walked over and took the car keys in place in front of the stairs.

"Melo, you're not driving well yet." Anna cried to Melody.

Melody ignored him and went straight to the garage, got into her father's car and got out of her house. Anna who followed him out could do nothing.

Prothos, who had been sitting at the dining table, went straight into his room on the second floor. While Aramis walked out to Anna who still saw Melody's departure.

"Follow me, Ars!!" exclaim Anna.

Anna and Aramis enter her house. Anna did not understand what was happening so Aramis was furious at Melody earlier, and Melody looked extremely cold. For the first time Melody did not listen to her brother's words.

"Tell me what's the matter?" Anna asked Aramis who was sitting on the sofa.

"Niko wants to marry Melo. She wants to get engaged first then when she graduates they'll get married." Aramis replied without looking at Anna who was standing at a distance of three meters staring at him. "And Melo agreed to it."

"Why did Melo just agree to it?" Anna asked, something was strange. "Melo wouldn't have agreed to it so easily if nothing had happened."

Aramis silently did not answer, his head bowed by shaking his left leg. He was at a loss as to what to answer, not even the young man knew how to start his story.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"He hears what he shouldn't have heard." Aramis replied after that staring at Anna. "Regarding the sin I committed on Niko."

Anna was surprised to hear Aramis say. Anna immediately sits down next to Aramis to listen to her story about something she calls sin on Niko.

"It was all because of something that happened almost three years ago. When Niko was about to move again to Russia to participate in the training of swimming athletes there. I challenged him to a fight because he was famous for being so strong back then. And right, I lost, he was indeed very strong."

"What happened after that?" Anna asked who was sitting facing Aramis who was just bowing her head.

"Because of feeling unacceptable with my defeat, I framed Niko using the name Lion, I sent him a message using the Lion mobile phone a year later. When he was on holiday in this country. I had him come to an old, abandoned factory just a week before Niko returned to Russia for the International Championship selection."

Aramis stopped talking, she looked very emotional by rubbing her face and head.

"I burned his left hand after ambushing and beating him." Aramis then looked at Anna. "But believe me, I had no intention of stopping him as a swimming athlete, I just didn't want him to be stronger than me. At that time my mind was only limited to what was disturbing my mind. I have no intention of ruining his life."

Anna never thought about Aramis story. Two years ago they were still childish, and still looking for their identity. Maybe that's why it all happened.

"It was fortunate that Lion came and stopped the fire before it hit his entire body. I realized at that moment that I was wrong." Aramis continued with reddened eyes. "I was so scared back then, then I asked Lion to convince Niko not to report me, and somehow Niko listened to Lion. Yes, everyone always listened to Lion's words even though Lion was very young at the time but since long ago he was never childish like me. He always thought ten steps ahead when doing anything."

"To this day you are still childish." Anna muttered that because she felt Aramis was treating her with everything she had done to Niko, she still hated her.

"Then the agreement was written on the stamp so I wouldn't be reported to the police with Lion witness. Niko wants me to make up for it someday. Make up for it with something she wants me to do or she'll burn my left hand too."

"You know what, Ars? Your decision was wrong to make that deal, should've let him report you to the police."

"That's also what Ato and Oto told me." Answer Aramis. "It seems that Niko agreed to make the deal so that I would continue to be depressed by her presence or that she would one day burn my hand to ruin my life as well. He seems to know that I like to paint and have left-handed hands. That's also why I hid about myself that I like to paint on anyone. I'm afraid one day he'll come and demand a reply from me."

Aramis seemed very frustrated when he told it.

"At that time I could not think at all because of fear, everything happened so quickly that I who was afraid could not think or ask for advice my two twin, he said, that's why I agreed to it in the hope that Niko would forget it."

"Where could he forget her after you ruined her life?" Anna's protest was upset. "You are stupid. You should be begging Niko for mercy now, don't hate her like that. I understand why Melo decided to agree to marry Niko."

"You know, there are three reasons someone hates someone else. The first was because he was envious of that person. Second, because he felt threatened by the person's presence, and third because he hated himself for a regret for that person." Bright Aramis with a fixed look at Anna. "And that's all I feel for Niko."
