After cleaning up, Melody stood in front of the window. He watched Lion's room for a while.
"He still didn't open the curtain, won't he open it again?" Ask in the heart.
After that he dropped down on the bed with Mimi. Take a deep breath after closing your eyes.
"Melo, get down!! it's dinner time!!" yell Athos from downstairs.
***
With heavy steps Melody sailed the stairs to the dining table where all her family members were waiting to have dinner together.
At the moment he feels tired and just wants to lie in bed but dinner together is a must in all family members. I don't want him to have to come along.
"How long has it been going down?" ask Prothos.
"Dad I didn't..." Melody's words came to a halt as she raised her head and saw Lion sitting on one of the chairs at the dining table.
All the members of his family were already sitting in his own place on the dining table chair.
"What's Melo? You're not hungry?" ask dad.
"I.. I. I didn't shower anymore because I felt cold." Melody replied lying. "So no one mocks me!!"
"Just calm down, no one will dare to mock you" said the father. "Let's sit down now."
Melody immediately walked towards the empty seat between uncle Ronald and Athos. His eyes continued to look towards the Lion who was sitting before Uncle Ronald.
Lion was busy typing his cellphone until he was not consciously noticed by it.
Is he texting Sandra? Think Melody.
"Why did your eyes turn red?" uncle Ronald whispered to Melody.
Melody did not reply and just stared at her uncle cynically.
"Alright, let's eat." exclaimed the grandfather with a smile.
"Good meal." said Lion happily.
"I don't think you want to come to dinner here when I brought you last night, Lion" said Ronald's uncle.
"There's no way this idiot could miss a free dinner here." exclaimed Aramis with his mouth filled with food.
"Yes, that's right! I won't miss it because Ato's cooking is so delicious!!" lion replied with a smile. "If every day can eat Ato's cuisine, life must be beautiful." continued Lion after that put food into his mouth.
"You're overreacting, Lion" Athos said.
"Lion, do you want to eat Ato's food every day?" ask uncle Ronald. "Then get married to Melody, then you can eat Ato's food next" said Uncle Ronald, glancing at Melody on his left.
Such jokes have happened a lot and this is not the first time. All because Lion was the only man outside the family who was close to Melody. But unlike usual Melody's heart beat faster to hear Ronald's uncle's joke this time, but usually he did not think about it at all because he had considered it a casual joke. But this time it was different, his heart was beating fast and his back was warming up.
"Yes right" said Lion staring at uncle Ronald. "Well, for the sake of being able to eat Ato's cooking, I'm willing to marry Melon." continued Lion.
Lion's reply further made Melody's heart beat fast.
"How about Melo, you don't want to marry her?" this time Uncle Ronald asked Melody.
Melody raised her head and saw that everyone was looking at her, waiting for an answer from her, as well as Lion. Melody was confused as to what to answer. It felt like he wanted to immediately run into the room to avoid answering.
"What's? No way!! Why should I give Megan to you?" lion told Prothos. "My goal was to be able to eat Ato's cooking every day so I was willing to sacrifice marrying Melon for my goal to achieve but why would I also have to sacrifice Megan as well? Then it doesn't! Megan is worth more than anything in the world!! I can't live without it!!"
"You've really gone crazy" Aramis shook her head. "Melo won't marry a freak like you either!!"
Melody just kept quiet and did not make a sound. He simply bowed his head, hoping that this conversation would not continue.
"Today's the last day you're suspended huh, Lion?" ask Athos. "Monday tomorrow you start going to school again" Athos recalled.
"Yes, but I hope you add to my suspension, Ato. I still want to relax at home for longer." Lion replied.
"Can you also give me a suspension, Ato?" ask Aramis. "I also want to relax at home, I'm tired of school."
"Ars, seriously school, you're third grade. Do you want to not graduate?" exclaim father.
"That's right! Do your PR from now on!!" added Athos. "I've been working on your PR for being embarrassed if I have a twin who is not responsible for his obligations as a student. Want to put where my face is as the head of this sausage?!"
"Happy with your history, Ars!!" ledek Prothus.
"Geez, why do I feel cornered" Aramis said.
"If you don't pass, Ars, I'll break your neck! Don't call me uncle again. You hear?!" exclaimed uncle Ronald.
"Why does it feel like I'd love to see your final test result, Ars." - Lion. "It will be exciting later."
"Shut up!! Find dead yes!!" threatening Aramis. "Melo, say something and defend me!!" aramis looked at Melody.
"Stupid is stupid!!" melody said while stirring her food uninspired.
Hearing him all became laughing except for Aramis who looked so annoyed at being in the corner.
"Don't talk anymore and just eat" said the grandfather who had been silent since.
"Melo, tomorrow uncle will be home early to move things." said Ronald. "Tomorrow we'll switch rooms, so right?"
Melody raised her head to look at Uncle Ronald. After that he turned his eyes to Lion. Their eyes met and looked at each other for a moment.
"Uncle, I think I changed my mind. If I move rooms then it's the same as me giving up and admitting defeat." Melody said coldly. "I'll stay in my room now. I won't move even if there's a bully who keeps bothering me because I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose to him!!" continued Melody.
Lion understood Melody's intention because what the bully meant was her.
As for Melody, the purpose she said that to Lion was because to upset him so as to no longer close the window curtain of her room.
...***...
Time was twelve o'clock at night, but Melody still couldn't close her eyes. No matter how hard he tried to fall asleep for free.
Melody got up from her sleeping position and sat down in annoyance.
"Why hasn't that fool opened his curtain yet?" muttered. "What the fuck was Uncle Ron? Hah, just piss me off!!" Melody rubbed her hair rough with both her hands in annoyance.
He felt that Uncle Ronald was trying to make Melody keep pounding with what he said. Fortunately, Prothos interrupted the conversation so Melody did not have to answer. Even at this moment he still did not know what to answer.
Withstanding her sense of regret, Melody picked up the guitar and started strumming it slowly.
Across the room, Lion is engrossed in playing the game listening to Melody's guitar quotes with a smile.
"HAH.." cried Aramis who was asleep on Lion's bed, awakened. "Why is Melo playing guitar in the middle of the night?" Aramis covered her head with a pillow.
