Don't Forget Me
29. Between Melody and Sandy

this long and tiring day finally succeeded Melody, she immediately went home and wanted to calm her mind at home. But his mood suddenly became bad when he saw Diandra was home.

Melody immediately walked in and saw a stack of invitation letters on the table, she grabbed one of them and looked at their date. Exactly one week to come.

Now what? Melody has no place to go, if her uncle gets married, it is certain that her love and affection will diminish. Is everyone going to leave him again?

"congratulations on your marriage, yeah!" his smile was somewhat forced.

"thank you, I will love you like a child!" he said while stroking Melody's hair.

Melody smiled wryly, she did need a mother figure. But it was precisely the child of her that hated her so much for no apparent reason.

"so where will you get married?" tanyakanya.

"of course my house, my house is big enough,"

the girl just nodded slowly. After talking for a long time, Diandra finally returned home.

"uncle!" he said then approached his uncle who was busy watching tv.

"hm!" sahutnya without glancing.

"if uncle gets married, does uncle still love me? if you have a child later, will you still consider me your nephew?"

Silent!

Sandy didn't say yes or no, she only spoke a thousand languages, her gaze still on the screen.

"uncle answer me!" he swung Sandy's arm slowly.

"no!" answer's short.

But that one short word made Melody ambiguous.

"no? won't love me anymore?" tanyanya did not believe.

Sandy sighed heavily, then looked at Melody with a look full of regret.

"i relieve you of all my pressure, I will never force you to do that again. Actually, I've been paying off all my debts for a long time, I've stopped gambling, but not with my drink. And all the money I get is for Diandra. That's why I decided to get married and improve myself, now you are free to do whatever you want. Stay here when I'm gone. Because you're not really my niece!" inexplicably.

Degh's!

like hearing lightning in a hole, Melody glared at her uncle's explanation. So all this time he's been lied to? but what's wrong? why does it have to be like that? if not his nephew then who is he? is he a stranger?

"then how can you say that I was your niece at the time?" melody asked, rolling back her memories as Sandy came and accompanied her to the hospital.

"it's just a coincidence!" Sandy recalls meeting 10 years ago.

~Flash back~

At that time, Sandy was pacing back and forth in front of the ER door with a restless heart. His wife who was being critical inside was being treated by the doctors. Until finally, a doctor opened the door and gave bad news.

"how's my wife doing doc?" ask Sandy to worry.

Sandy was still silently in disbelief, There was a feeling of sadness and joy in her heart

Sad because of the death of his wife who he always used, happy because no one nagged him anymore. Well, at that time He was in debt, and his wife who always covered her debt with her hard work every day. He admitted that he was lazy to do anything and was happy to use others.

Without seeing his wife's body, he walked down the hospital corridor. And that's where she met little Melody who was crying over her brother's departure.

"sister don't go! I have no one but you, huhuhuhu!" her crying was hysterical. He looks alone and only accompanied by a nurse who joined in crying because of the atmosphere.

Sandy who saw it went straight inside and rebuked him. "where are your parents?" tanyanya gently.

"people ...my parents are dead, and..I have no.anyone...again..huhuhu! now I'll be alone." she replied so bitterly.

The man fell silent, how unfortunate the fate of this child, at his very small age had to lose his family.

"you're not alone, I'll take care of you, because I'm your uncle!"

"hammer?" his tananya immediately reacted in surprise. Instantly her crying stopped making Sandy chuckle because of the innocence of the girl.

"yes, I'm your uncle!"

"but, brother never said I had an uncle!" the answer looks confused.

"that's because your brother forgot to tell you!" His smile immediately held Melody into his lap.

"so, I'm not alone anymore?"

"of course not son!" Sandy kissed her cheeks fatigued. "your sister said, you can't be sad. You should always smile to make her happy there!" persuading him at once also managed to make the innocent Melody feel comfortable in her warm embrace.

~Flash back end~

"so that's the truth!" sandy said after she explained their meeting.

The instant the spring girl's body collapsed, her bones seemed to be unable to support her body anymore. The intense pain caused his heart to stop beating, but after that it beat twice as fast.

"everyone always treats me like that! what big mistake have I made in my uncle's past? why is fate playing tricks on me? What's wrong??!" he screams so frustrating. She cried and rattled her hair.

Sandy just silently looked at him, then she raised her hand to stroke the girl's hair.

"this isn't all your fault, I'm sorry Alexa!" lirih.

Melody smiled, then rubbed her tears violently. "i'll leave now, thank you uncle, thank you very much!"

Then he went to his room and cleaned up all his belongings, he already thought of nothing but the destruction of his life. He'll go wherever the wind will take him.

"don't you want to say the last word before I leave?" his question sounds like a fool.

"thank you very much!"

well, thank you, that's enough. Enough to make it more broken. He slowly left, leaving his last footprints in the house. I don't know where he's going to go by tonight.
