In Melody's room, Kazehaya International hospital, 16th floor...
"Why, Mel? Nausea?" Mikan asked when she saw Melody stop eating and shut her mouth.
Melody shook her head. "It's like something's stuck in the tooth. Sorry, Mommy." Melody.
"Gosh, I guess why. You're making me worry."
Melody smiled. In his heart he was very grateful to God for getting super kind and loving in-laws like Mikan. For daughter-in-law, which other favors should be denied from the gift of getting in-laws who consider daughter-in-law like their own children?
"Mother's way of worrying is similar to Yudha's way of worrying. The power of genes is incredible." Melody.
"really? Can a stiff man like Yudha be like me? Although I am his mother, but Yudha is too rigid to be a person. Between worrying and not caring it looks the same from her." Mikan.
Melody shook her head. "Yudha is a super considerate human being, ma'am. Although a lot of regret, but Yudha is good at doing things so that others get out of trouble. Yudha need not say if she is worried, she just needs to act to calm down."
"The boy was like that a long time ago. More action than talk. Fortunately she met and married you, you who have the opposite nature to her make her dare to get out of her comfort zone. Makes him more open to diversity. I was shocked when I found out that Yudha could talk at length, joke around, laugh out loud, and respond to your little chatter." Mikan.
"Was Yudha not like that?" Melody asked curiously.
"Yudha is stiff, Mel. Irit talk and flat. His son is cold enough to have to deal with other people." Answer Mikan.
"Ah, right too, Yudha used to be like that. It hurts to remember." Melody.
Melody remembered that when she first met Yudha, it was true that Yudha did not have much expression. Yudha could even say spicy to him. Mylekit his words to the heart. The beginning of the encounter with Yudha was an inner torturous experience.
"Yudha is more like your grandfather than his father, Kazehaya Yoga." Mikan.
"Eh? Cook, Mom? Shouldn't it look like his father? Why should I go with Grandpa? What kind of father-in-law is he?" Ask Melody.
He remembered Yudha's stern warning. He closed his mouth again and quickly apologized to his mother-in-law.
"I'm sorry, Mother! Sorry, ma-it's nothing. Please don't think about what I just said!" Melody.
"Why, Mel? About your father-in-law, Yudha's father, what's wrong with this? Something bothering you?" Ask Mikan.
"Ano, Yudha told me not to talk about my father-in-law in front of my mother. Yudha said, I would be sad if I remembered about my father. Mom, please forgive me! It's not that I meant to make you sad and uncomfortable because I suddenly asked you about your father-in-law." Melody.
"If you're like this, you can choke on your food. Here, have a drink first and talk at length!" Mikan said, she raised the glass filled with mineral water and gave it to Melody.
Melody received the glass filled with water and drank it. Since he has finished eating, then this drinking water is a cleanser of his throat.
Mikan then got rid of Melody's eating marks. He put it on the table like before.
"Well, I don't know what Yudha has done to you. But about your father-in-law, believe me, I can handle it well." Mikan.
"So right, you'll be sad when it comes to your father-in-law?" Ask Melody carefully.
Mikan closed her eyes and nodded. "Mom sure you've heard the outline of your mother's marriage to your father-in-law from Yudha."
"Yes. Yudha told me that when she and I were married first. We discuss this late at night, before going to bed." Melody.
"Mother's marriage to your father-in-law carries a lot of wounds." Mikan.
"Are Yudha and I a wonderful example of a matchmaking story?" Ask Melody.
"Mother always prays if you two don't experience what you're going through. Mother always asked God that Yudha only had one woman she loved. I do not want you to experience the pain and pain of sharing love, one-sided love, or unrequited love... Therefore Mel, even though you should be resting right now because you just came back from Chiba, however, please listen to what I want to tell you. What I'm gonna tell you... This is not enough to write on a piece of paper, although boring, you will still tell it. Even if it makes you sleepy, keep listening!" Mikan.
Feeling that the mother-in-law was looking at her expectantly, Melody became unable to resist. He was willing to listen to the story of his mother and father-in-law.
"I'll listen to it, Mother." Melody then took out a jar filled with snacks. Then show it to her mother-in-law. "There are friends to talk at length." Her smile.
Mikan could not help but hold her little laugh. Melody is adorable. Pregnant women do have an appetite that can be more, first he also keeps a lot of snacks in the room when pregnant with Yudha.
"Come here, sit back, Mel!" Pinta Mikan's.
Melody sat back on the chop while holding a jar containing a snack of balado-flavored savory potato chips. Not too spicy. Ayane bought it. He remembered, even though the age of this snack was more than a week, but it did not matter, a little fizzling as long as it had not expired, it was okay, right?
"Mom will tell you everything, not just about your mother-in-law's story, but according to what she said before, I'll also discuss the story of the past where this bad karmic bond haunted the Kazehaya family like an unfinished curse." Mikan.
Melody did not reply to Mikan's words. He just wants to be a listener. She also can't wait to know what really happened to her husband's family. It was possible that once he knew the past of his mother-in-law, then he could do something afterwards.
Mikan took a deep breath and took it. He closed his eyes in a few seconds.
"No why. Melody is my son too. I'll be fine. It's just a story, he's dead, and I'm fine." Inner Mikan.
Mikan then opened her two closed eyes. He looked at Melody and was determined to tell her the story of the past in which there was the story of her marriage to Kazehaya Yoga as well.

FLASHBACK
Mikan, Yoga, and Orion have known each other for a long time. They became very close because both of their parents were close to each other
connect as friends and business partners. The story of the introduction of the parents with Old Money is said to occur from the old days long before Mikan was born.
It will be very difficult for children from ordinary families to enter the circle of playful friends that Mikan, Yoga, and Orion intertwine.
Little Orion begins to love Mikan, Mikan loves Yoga, and Yoga, this man actually also loves Mikan in some conditions. It's just that he didn't show it to Mikan that much. Considering they are friendly since childhood, then according to what the eyes see, Yoga loves Mikan and Orion.
Yoga is the type of man who protects. He will be responsible for all his actions. He will also take care of Mikan and Orion. Such qualities have been seen since he was a child.
There was an age gap between the three of them. If Yoga was 10 years old, Mikan would be 8 and Orion would be 5.
Their childhood lives passed beautifully like those of children in general where their lives were dominated by play, play, and play. However, everything changes when both parents from Mikan and parents from Yoga and Orion talk about matchmaking right at the age of 12-year-old Mikan.
The reason as a link between family friendships and to strengthen the dominance of two large families is the reason.
"Yoga, from now on Mikan will be your tunagan and will be your wife when you grow up." Grandpa Wijaya said.
Mikan can still remember very clearly how both families decided her future and her future Yoga, her best friend.
In his heart, he did not dispute this because indeed he himself has feelings for Yoga, feelings more than just friends. Although he was only 12 years old, but he loved Yoga and had the desire to always be with Yoga. Together like his father and mother. That's how Mikan looks at Yoga.
Mikan took a quick peek at Yoga to see how Yoga was expressing this news. There was an expression Mikan could understand. He looked deeper and found out the meaning of the expression that Yoga showed.
MIKAN'S POV
I was told today that Yoga is my future husband. I don't know much more about the concept of marriage. However, as I know, getting married is just like a father and mother living happily with me.
I'm still 12. I don't know much about things, especially adults.
When I heard that Kak Yoga and I would be betrothed, I was so happy. I have loved Kak Yoga for a long time. He was a very nice guy and helped me when I tripped. Kak Yoga carried me from the garden to the house.
But what is this? I don't know, but seeing Kak Yoga displaying that expression, I felt sad.
Does that mean that Yoga does not like this match? Does that mean Kak Yoga is cheating this match? Why is his face like that? Didn't that Yoga sister always accompany me when our family met. Even in school, I often play and eat together. That means Yoga's legs like me, right? That means Yoga doesn't hate me, does it?
Then, the gaze of Yoga made me not understand. Strange, this is like a confused person and does not know how to behave. It's like the look I gave when I broke my mother's expensive glass, but afraid of being scolded, I finally didn't dare to say when I felt guilty in my heart.
Ahhh, dizziness.
Vakraniyo!
I don't get it!
Finally, I just kept quiet. Same with Yoga. Nor did he respond to any of these adult conversations.
That afternoon, laughter and jokes filled the Yamaguchi residence. But I and sister Yoga can only be silent do not understand what to behave like.
Her tribe, I alone am happy about this matchmaking news.
From this moment on, I live my life as his fiancee Yoga.
Time passed, elementary school went through without any problems. The daily story that compensates for it also goes well. Everything went well. Entering SMP is also not much different. I am still on good terms with two generations of the Kazehaya family, sister Yoga and sister Orion.
Sister Yoga is 2 years above me, while Orion is 3 years below me.
We mingled well despite the obvious differences. Especially Orion, he's a sweet boy and very nice to me. He would run away with his smile when he saw me coming to visit Kazehaya's residence.
Unlike Yoga, the more he grew up, the colder he was to me. What yes, the point is that he doesn't talk as much as he used to when he was with me.
Yoga no longer wants to play with me. Maybe because he is in high school, so he thinks that playing around is not worth playing with teenagers like himself.
I started doing the same thing. I no longer play hide-and-seek in the garden behind my house or home. I no longer catch dragonflies and butterflies.
Sorry Orion, I refused to ask you again.
It's a pity to see Orion asking me to play, but I refused. It's time to change. I'm an early teenager who's about to step into high school. A lot has changed in my life. Including the way I play.
I'm in first grade High School, I'm in Yoga Class XII High School, and Orion Class VII Junior High School.
My relationship with Yoga is like I have no progress. People say I'm her fiance, but I look more like her tailor. I'm the only one who takes this engagement seriously. I am even careful when choosing friends.
And again, it seems like Yoga is not interested in me at all. It hurts a long time too when trying to stand firm despite being ignored by him.
I don't understand why it's like this. All I know is, she started like this because she was betrothed to me. He did not accept this match. He doesn't expect to marry me in the future.
I'm thinking. I've summed it up and made it a result of my thoughts.
I don't want to see Yoga like this either. I don't want to be ignored by him, I also have the desire to cancel this matchmaking.
It's a pity, but I don't want to see him suffer the burden of this matchmaking.
