A Romantic Badboy's
The Part 18
Rendi's car pulled over at a cake shop. It is not far from the town square. They got out of the car, pulled the doorknob and then got in. The bakery waiter took a seat after seeing their arrival. Then give the cake menu in the store.
"Mel likes pink." Rendi began to flip the menu paper sheet.
"Oh that. Keep going?" Ask Echoes.
"Mel also likes cherry blossoms." Answer Rendi.
"What else does it matter?" Ask Echoes again, he wants to know more about Melody.
"The doll she likes is a teddy bear." Sahut Rendi, then realized with his words. "Wait, why did I tell you about Melodi's fondness for you?" Rendi patted her own mouth because of the lewdness in front of the Echo.
"Haha, thanks to Rendi. My best friend." Echoes stretched out his arms, trying to hug Rendi. But Rendi immediately avoided.
After a long time looking for a suitable decoration for a Melodic birthday cake, finally they decided to choose a love-shaped cake with cherry blossom decorations on the edge. In the middle of the cake, a teddy bear statue is placed. Then, on the bottom front side was given the words Happy Birthday Melody.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Nisa packed her things and put them in a backpack. Walk hastily towards class X IPA 2.
"Mel, take me to the bookstore yuk." Nisa lowered her head before the classroom door.
"Tumben you asked me to interin. You usually go alone." Melodi is still packing things.
"Tell me, this time I want to go to the same bookstore." Nisa walks in, pulling Melodi's hand to get away.
The distance from the bookstore to their school is quite far. So they must use vehicle access to reach the destination. They decided to ride the angkot.
Before long, the angkot had arrived in front of the bookstore. Nisa immediately brought Melodi inside. Nisa began to explore every bookcase that was plastered there. Melody just followed him from behind. Melody is not buying a book right now.
Nisa's eyes are on a novel called He's my boyfriend. He read the synopsis that is behind the novel. Nisa gave a smile, she seemed to like the novel. And, sure enough. He immediately grabbed the novel.
Melodi thought, after taking the novel Nisa would take her home. Apparently not. He instead ran to the number five shelf containing the history books. Nisa, I really like history. He is so sorry for the history of Indonesia from ancient times until now. However, Melodi also does not understand the reason why Nisa majored in IPA.
After finding what Nisa was looking for, she finally paid for the book she bought at the cashier. Then they left the bookstore.

The melody walked with shunt steps entering the courtyard of the parlour. He was surprised to see such a dark place. Is there a power outage tonight? But the house next to the light was brightly lit. The melody goes inside, the door is unlocked. Worries began to take hold of him. While Nisa did not care about this strange situation.
Suddenly, someone pulled his arm. Melody was surprised, trying to see her face but couldn't. The man put on a cloth to cover the eyes of Melody. He refused, but the man forced him to wear it.
After Melody's eyes closed, she seemed to see a little light inside the house. Maybe the electricity is back on, Inner Melody. Then, the person carried the Melody slowly towards a room. Maybe room. Because Melody can feel the scent of perfume that adorns the room. Someone just took off his clothes.
"Who are you?" Melodi said trying to dodge the person.
"Suuut, just calm down. You're gonna be all right." She faintly sounded her voice, like someone Melodi knew.
That guy replaced Melodi's clothes with other clothes. Melody taste is a dress. Because he can feel it and guess that this is the dress that Rendi once gave him. Then, the man opened the Melodic shoes, replacing them with flatshoes. Slowly the person turns to the hair, gently combing the Melody hair. Then put a bando on it. After that, the person began to apply a thin makeup polish on the face of Melody. Even with her eyes closed, Melodi could still feel what the person was doing to her.
When it was finished, the man brought Melodi into the backyard of the house. And, that person started to open the blindfold of Melody.
"Surpriseee." Their voices fill the backyard at night.
Melody spread her gaze around. Along the walls of the courtyard, a tumblr lamp is installed that in each partition hangs a picture of him, Nisa and a silly trio. In the center, there is the inscription Happy Birthday Melody with balloons on it. Near the door of the courtyard, there was a small stage that seemed to be made for an entertainment event. All the orphanage kids and silly trio use a bando with minnie mouse ears.
Nilam approached Melodi with a birthday cake. So, they're all planning this for his birthday? Even Melodi had also forgotten that today was her birthday.
"Pray before blowing out the candle." Nilam's word to him.
Melody uttered some hope in her heart. Then, he blew out a candle that was in the shape of the number seventeen. Next, they congratulated and wished for Melodi in the future.
"Let's cut Mel's cake." Nisa said from behind Melodi's back. Apparently from earlier Nisa who had dressed him. How could Melody not realize it?
Melody cuts the cake into pieces. Then put it on a small plate. The first bribe he gave to Nilam who was willing to take care of him. The second bribe he gave to Nisa who had become a brother and friend to him.
"Third bribe for who is Mel?" Sahut Gara's.
"For sure for me." Say Rendi with confidence.
"Not to dream. Melody would've loved me." Said Echoes who was sitting on a chair holding a guitar.
"Third bribe I'll give to..." Melodi deliberately stalling for time to make them curious. "It made me.." The melody feeds a piece of birthday cake into the mouth.
Everyone laughed at seeing her behavior. While Rendi and Gema only held back the embarrassment by covering her face.
The party was so lively even with a simple theme. Everyone looks so happy, and so does Melodi. Rendi approached Melodi who was now sitting in a chair.
"Happy birthday to Mel. Hopefully, all your hopes are realized. It's for you." Rendi gave a small box that had been wrapped with wrapping paper.
"Thank you Rendi." Melody Say.
Beno ran over to Melodi. Beno dissolves in the arms of Melody just like that.
"Sister Mel, this is for Beno's older brother, Siska, Brother Bimo, Brother Bima, and Brother Gery." Beno gave a large gift to Melodi. The girl accepted it with pleasure. Then rub the top of Beno's head gently.
Furthermore, Gara, Nisa and Nilam also gave gifts. Except Echoes. However, Melodi did not expect a gift from him. For Melodi, this simple party alone was enough to complete her seventeenth birthday. On the stage, Echoes started to speak.
"Sound check. Okay everybody, good night. First, I will say happy birthday for the Twilight Melody. I hope, hope the hope is realized. And on this happy night, I'm going to perform a song called Beautiful In White."
Guitar passages began to fill the backyard, followed by the melodious sound of Echoes.
Not sure if you know this
I got so nervous I couldn't speak
In that very moment
I found the one and
My life had found its missing piece
So as long as I live I love you
Will have and hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now 'til my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonights
What we have is timeless
My love is endless
And with this ring I
Say to the world
You're my every reason
You're all that I believe in
With all my heart I mean every word
So as long as I live I love you
Will haven and hold you
You look so beautiful in white
And from now 'til my very last breath
This day I'll cherish
You look so beautiful in white
Tonights
You look so beautiful in white, yeah yeah
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
So beautiful…
All were swept up in the song performed by Gema. They raised both hands up and enjoyed each of the chants. Five minutes later, the guitar stops with the sound of echo. Such a loud applause was on Echoes.
The party ended at ten p.m. Gara and Rendi say goodbye to going home. While echoing, he was still busy with his guitar. Sing some songs. Melody sat next to Echoes, watching the guy.
"Thank you for the Echoes. I'm so happy tonight." Melody Speaks on Echoes.
"Lo should have said thanks to Nisa, because she planned all this."
"But you are also participating. Anyway, thank you so much." Melodi said sincerely.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot to give you a gift." Echoes take something in his pocket. "This. I intentionally do not wrap, because I do not want to see your distress is not it."
"Thank you Echoes, means can I open it right away?" Melody receives the Echoes.
"Of course." The echoes allowed Melody to open the box.
Apparently, Gema gave him a ring that was so beautiful. Inside is engraved the initials of G.M. What does echo mean by all this?
"Why is there an initial like gini?" Ask Melody on Echoes.
"Yes, I feel that if I give the initials in the ring, you will feel everything I feel." Echoes smile, trying to code for Melody to be sensitive.
"You're gonna shoot me?" Search Melody.
"No. If I shoot you, keep you dead, ntar who will fill the emptiness of my heart?"
"Ish, what the hell."
"So how's this? I'm still waiting for the answer. If you accept me, sodorin your left hand. If not, it's okay. I don't mean it." Echo. "Free, if you don't accept me means you have to be ready I pellet let you like me." Continue a little joking. Melody hit the guy's arm, while Gema just chuckled. Honestly, this moment the heart Echoes faster than usual. He hopes Melodi can accept it. And, a few minutes later after the girl had been silent for quite a while, she finally made up her mind. Melody reached out her left hand, making Echoes develop her smile.
"Let me wear this." Echoes pairing the ring on the left hand ring finger Melody.
The melody was so moved by the echo attitude. Spontaneous Melody embraced the Echoes so tightly. Tonight, the sky was filled with stars and moons, as if they were happy because of the melody. However, the sky in the arms of Melodi is now not happy, but a giver of happiness and makes him fall in love.
"Space Echoes, I love you."
