Melody
Episode 11

"You wanna stop by for a meal?" Musical asked on the way home.

Melodya stared at the car window, her mind everywhere. He wondered, why didn't he see Nathan? Where's Nathan? Did Nathan play with his words? The driving musical stared briefly at Melodya. His sister is daydreaming. Musical repeated his question again.

Melodya turned, "May."

Musical drove his car to a cafe not too far from the city building. They got out of the car and went into the cafe. Musical and Melodya chose to sit at the end, near the window. Waiters came to ask for their order.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Same on, brother."

The waiters recorded Musical's order and then he left. Musical was astonished to see Melodya who seemed to be thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Musical stroked the back of Melodya's hand on the table.

Melodya cleared her throat slowly before opening her voice, "Nathan."

One word, one name, one meaning. Musical raised his eyebrows. Nathan's? Ow, he just remembered that Melodya had mentioned Nathan's name when quality time with him. Musical awaits the continuation of Melodya's story. He did not want to force his sister to tell him.

"Nathan told Ody to join the competition" Melodya finally told the Musical all the events she had experienced about Nathan. He was sure, Musical would understand him. At a time like this, Musical not only acts as a brother, but also as a friend who always supports him, like Sasha and Ayna.

This violin competition, Melodya did not tell anything to Sasha or Ayna. Although his two best friends already know about Nathan who told him to join this competition, but they do not know Melodya's answer. Melodya does not want her two friends to bother watching it. Like last month, his two friends insisted on watching Melodya on stage in the art building. They were both excited when they saw Melodya playing on stage. As a result, the entire audience stared at them and it really made Melodya laugh amusedly. How could those with his watados look yell in support of Melodya from the audience seats? Which audience will do the activity during the violin competition? They think it's a football game?

Musical nodded after hearing Melodya's story. He understood, Melodya must have talked about who Nathan was. Musicals are too. Musical just ruffled Melodya's hair and said that everything would be fine.

Shortly after, their food arrived. They eat each other's food. Silent mood. Musical or Melodya is always accustomed to eating without talking by both parents. Melodya has no appetite this time. He put his spoon and fork back.

Musical looked at his sister, he exhaled slowly. He hated this Melodya. His sister often felt that he was weak, he often felt tired because of a problem, no matter how small the problem. Yes, you could say Melodya is spoiled.

"Spend your food or your sister's bribe."

The successful Musical Sentences brought Melodya's consciousness back. He again took his spoon and fork and continued his meal.

"What the hell, brother. Ody just doesn't want to if until Ody's sister bribes here. Brother did not want at that time we were ever filmed and almost uploaded sosmed just because of brother nyuapain Ody in a public place?"

"Papa is your little brother. There's no harm in a sister nyuapin's sister?" Musical features a row of neat teeth, unlike Melodya who has chipped teeth.

Musical recalled the incident some time ago, when he was barada at the station. At that time Musical and Melodya were delivering her tant. Martin and Eliyana also took the ride. His aunt, Martin, and Eliyana, sat in different places while waiting for the train to arrive. Musical and Melodya sat next to each other. A bored Melodya, plays her phone while putting her head on Musical's shoulder. While Musical was engrossed in playing games on his phone while eating potato chips in his lap that he deliberately brought from home, he occasionally stuffed those chips into Melodya's mouth. Melodya of course accepted her sister's bribe with pleasure. Without them noticing, there were already many people surrounding him. Each of them pointed their cell phone cameras at the brothers. Until after that Eliyana shouted excitedly to see his two children who were filmed by many people. Musical and Melodya compact looked up and was surprised to see many people surrounding it.

"Geez, Musical, Melodya! What are you guys?!" Eliyana shouted while trying to disperse the circle that surrounded her two children.

"Well, what's the matter? It's so fun to do this video, Mom, so sweet."

"Child today if dating do not remember the place yes. Uh but it's really nice, the guy's handsome, the girl's pretty."

"Duh, I want to date my husband first."

"Aaaaa, I'd like to be followed, too. So sweet."

"Bakal became a hot rumor if uploaded on sosmed. Ntar captionnya sweet mouthful at the station."

More or less the words of those who surround them. The last man's words made Musical and Melodya round her eyes. How not? They are both brothers. How can people think they are dating? Suddenly, Martin arrives, disbanding everyone and explaining that Musical and Melodya are his children. Well, really like a hero to Musical and Melodya.

"Yes, put it in a public place, brother. Then brother anyway, already know rame, why try nyuapin nyuapin all." Melodya chuckled at the end of her sentence, considering how confused they were at that moment.

"Heh, whose fault are you taking bribes from brother, huh?"

Melodya laughed until her tears almost dripped. The musical that saw him laughed as well.

"Udah, brother, no. Don't miss it anymore. Melodya is tired of having to laugh again. Go home yuk."

Musical nodded. He paid for all their food and went home.
