Lion reenters the coffee shop where Mona works. Leisurely Lion sat where he usually sat yesterday without caring about the ravings of Mona who was upset to see him.
In his mind was still thinking about what happened with Melody and Niko. As powerful as he did not want to remember it his mind still continued to be filled by it.
"Today you have to order and pay in full, Lion." exclaimed Mona from the cashier's desk.
"No problem. I'm happy today. I'll also buy more than one glass." Lion smiled. "Make me the milk that was three glasses yesterday, Mona. I'll also pay for my lack of money yesterday."
...***...
Melody and Niko were at a steakhouse they were visiting when Melody was still afraid of Niko.
When the steak they ordered arrived, Niko took Melody's steak to cut into small pieces by her. Just like that time, he did it for Melody as well.
"Please eat, princess." said Niko gave Melody steak that had been cut by her.
Melody felt that Niko was being nice to her. The more often he was with her, Melody felt her assumptions changed little by little. What he initially felt Niko was an arrogant man, at this time the assumption had been eroded because of his good attitude.
"What's wrong? Want me to feed you?" niko asked Melody who did not directly devour the steak in front of her.
Melody immediately regained her senses and immediately ate her food.
"I had a request for you before" said Niko. "I'll tell you but promise me you won't ask me anything I don't say."
"Alright." replied Melody after a moment of thought.
"Two years ago when I was vacationing in this country, because something badly burned my hand to the fourth degree, although I was lucky because only this left hand was on fire but my life changed all. I decided to stay here again. For almost two years I was out of school for treating my hand. Even until now I am still trying to treat it." said Niko with an unusual gaze.
Melody got the answer to why Niko didn't go to class for two years. Not because he was stupid but because he had to treat the wound on his left hand.
"But I don't care if I don't go to class many times. There's one thing that makes me feel like this wound took everything away from me." continued Niko.
Niko paused for a moment, she bit the tip of her left lip so hard, that Melody was afraid that what she was doing would make her lips hurt. Niko's lips looked very dry at the moment, Melody thought Niko forgot to smear them with lip moisturizer as was her habit.
"It happened a week before I returned to Russia for the selection of the international swimming competition. Even as a swimming athlete, I had to stop swimming forever because these burns had damaged my nerves and arm muscles."
Melody was very surprised to hear Niko's words. Unknowingly, his tears flowed out when he heard Niko's story. Melody could not imagine how Niko had to give up her dream as a swimming athlete because of the burn. He must have suffered so much from having to swallow that bitter pill in his life.
Melody wiped away her tears quickly because she did not want Niko to think she pitied her. It was afraid of making Niko offended.
"So when I said I couldn't swim, it wasn't in the real sense."
Niko bit the tip of her left lip again, and this time harder than before until Melody saw blood start to come out of Niko's injured lip.
Melody took the tissue on the table and leaned in and wiped the blood that was about to drip onto Niko's chin
"It turns out you're a vampire" Melody said, wiping Niko's blood.
Niko was stunned to see Melody's actions to her.
...***...
At five in the afternoon Melody arrived home. Niko escorted him and after that the young man immediately left. Melody walked into the house where her three brothers and father were staring at her presence.
Father and Athos were about to start cooking dinner, while Prothos and Aramis sat in a row behind the entrance.
"You're home, Melo?" ask me to see the presence of his favorite daughter. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
"I ate, I didn't eat with you" Melody replied.
Dad took off the apron he just wore.
"Melo, sit down first." exclaimed father staring at Melody. "Ato, you're sitting down too!"
Melody and Athos followed their father's orders and sat in a row before Prothus and Aramis. After that the father sat at a single table between Melody and Prothos facing each other.
"I've only been asking the three of you about your educational plans or other academic matters. Even I rarely ask you Melo." look at Melody. "I guess this time I'll ask the three of you for more trouble."
"What problem?" ask Athos.
"What's your relationship with Tasya?" ask me to look at my oldest son. "Do I have to worry about your relationship?"
"No, everything will be fine" Athos replied.
"What about you, Oto?" this time I looked at Prothos. "Are you serious about your current boyfriend?"
"Yes, I'm sure this time I'll be serious. Although my path is still long but I am very serious with him." replied Prothos while nodding.
"What about you, Ars?"
"You've heard my plan in a year. There's nothing I have to explain to you anymore." replied Aramis.
Father looked at Melody, his youngest son who was the family's most precious treasure.
"How's your relationship with Niko?" look at Melody.
"We're just friends." Melody replied briefly.
He took a deep breath before speaking again.
"I've never told all of you this before. But I think I need to tell you a story so you can draw your own conclusions from my story with your mother." said the father. "You know, me and your mother are arguably neither friends nor enemies. We fight every time we meet. Until we got married but only three years we both spent together until finally your mother died of her illness."
Melody clenched her hands because she felt that her mother who died giving birth to her was her fault.
"Melo, your mother loves you so much that she chose to give birth to you. It's not your fault." looked at Melody as she held her son's clenched hand in her lap.
Melody raised her head looking at her smiling father.
"After your mother's departure, I often felt sorry because when we were with us we often fought over little things. Even back when we were in school we didn't fight and preferred to spend our time together. Something will feel so valuable when we lose it. But all that has happened, regret only exists at the end of every mistake. How much I tried to change it, but again there's something we can't fight."
Father swallowed his saliva with teary eyes staring at one by one his son.
"Remember for all of you, keep trying to do your best for your relationship, if something bad happens it's not your fault and think you're making a mistake or trying less. Rest assured that you have done your best for it. But it all comes back to reality, because the only thing we can't change is destiny."
His four children listened very seriously none of them cut or commented on his father's words at this time.
"But keep this in your heart. There's always a rainbow after the rain." continued Dad. "Strengthen and strengthen your heart, fear not and tremble at nothing, for the future will be there and your hope will not be lost."
