A Romantic Badboy's

Part 3

After Rendi's departure, Melodi was glued to the spot. Slowly her tears started to come out. Moisten the skirt she was wearing. He sobbed. Never imagined that Rendi would be so kind to him. The echoes that quickly responded to the situation instantly embraced Melodi. Rubbing Melodi's back gently, channeling calmness. Melody crying on the shoulder Echoes. No matter the people around you who notice it.

"Sister Mel is okay?" Beno asked as he held Melodi's hand.

"Not good." Melody wiped away her tears, as much as she could carve a smile, hoping that Beno would not worry. Then take off his embrace from the Echoes.

"When did he do the same?" Ask Echoes. Melody could see the glint from the black eyes of the boy. Between anxiety and anger, Melodi couldn't identify him.

"Udahlah. Don't talk about it."

"Lo was wrong Mel. Problems like this should not be you yourself. Come tell me the same story. I can give you the solution."

While clearing up the merchandise, Melodi said, "It's not because you've already nolongin me, I can like the same story lo. I'm not sure if you're a trustworthy person either. We just knew Echoes.."

"Emang, we just got to know. But just so you know, I'm not as bad as you look. After all, people can also like each other within a few hours."

Melody glanced at the guy beside her, "It's not about falling in love or anything like that. To be more precise, I don't want to interfere in my relationship. You don't realize yes, if you even make things more complicated." Melodi and Beno were about to leave, but suddenly Melodi felt her head dizzy. He almost fell if no one's hand caught him again.

"Let me take you. It's okay if you don't want to tell me what your problem is."

"No, I can go home by myself." Reject Melody.

"Gue promises nothing more. You can assume I'm not an echo, but an online taxi you ordered. How's it?" The echoes screamed a little, because Melody was already too far away from him.

Actually Melodi wanted to reject it back, but because his body was too weak and unable to step he was forced to fulfill the request of Echoes. Coincidentally Gema brought a car today, so that Gema could deliver Melodi and Beno. The words that Echoes when in the square were apparently true. Echoes do not invite Melodi to talk, only the strains of western music that break the silence between them. Honestly, Melodi does not understand the way of the mind Echoes. Why can Echoes be so good to him even though Melodi never gives a positive response?

"Gue get down here." Melodi said after the Mitsubishi Xpander car arrived in front of the gate of the home.

The echo just nodded his head. Then wave at Melodi. No words were spoken from his mouth. Echoes that Melodi knows a lot of talk turned out to be able to silence for her sake. Unlike Rendi who always keeps asking in the middle of Melodi is having problems. Not to provide a solution, but to scold Melodi. Maybe it is true, if the first meeting is bad, then the continuation of the relationship is also bad. That's what the romance books Melodi read.

Melodi still remembers clearly, how she was able to meet with Rendi and establish a relationship until now. At that time, Melodi was about to walk to the pharmacy, but suddenly her wallet was pickpocketed.

"Copeeet, please copeeet.." Shouting Melodi.

From the south, a guy who was still wearing his High School uniform, stopped right beside Melodi standing.

"What's wrong, mbak?" Ask Rendi.

"That's it, my wallet's been pickpocketed." Melodi said with all her panic. It'sit's nothing. Inside the wallet were five hundred thousand pieces of money. So Melodi is not willing if the money is just forfeited.

Without further ado, Rendi immediately chased the pickpocket with his ninja motor. While Melodi said a prayer so that her wallet could return to her hands.

A few minutes later, Randy came back. He got off the bike and handed me Melodi's wallet.

"Thank you!" Sahut Melodi glee.

Instead of replying to Melodi's thanks, Rendi reached out, "Gue Rendi Permana, call me Rendi."

"Gue Melodi Dusk, call me Melodi."

"Lo's name is good, it suits the person."

"meaning?" Ask Melody confused.

"Yes, you are beautiful." Rendi developed a smile. Cheek tapered Melody suddenly blushing, ashamed of Rendi's praise.

"Oh yeah, where are you going? Let me anterin."

Melodi shook her head, "No need, I just want to go to the pharmacy there doang kok." Point the Melody to the building located across the street.

"Yes, let me anterin. I can't see a girl in distress. Especially the girl like you." Rendi blinked her eyes, making Melodi become misbehaved because of her actions.

Finally, Melodi complies with Rendi's wishes. After buying the medicine, Rendi drove Melodi home. There was no negative response at all when Rendi found out that Melodi was living in an orphanage.

"Wanna stop by?" Melodi asked as she set foot in the gate of the parlour.

"Other times. I have a basketball training schedule." Rendi turned the motor. "Oh yeah, don't forget to check your wallet."

Melody knitted her brows, while her lips had already arched a smile from earlier. After giving the medicine Nilam told him to buy, Melodi returned to her room. He was curious about Rendi's last words. Melody opened her wallet, checked the contents inside. The money is intact. ATM and ID cards are still there. The photo he took also exists.

"What does Rendi mean?" Ask in the heart.

Because of the curiosity that increasingly struck, Melodi decided to take out all the contents of the wallet. From the objects he saw, his eyes were fixed on a paper the size of ktp. Melody quickly took the thing. Apparently, it was a duplicate of Rendi's identification. It says his full name, his status, and his cell phone number. The question suddenly arises in the mind of Melodi.

"Did Rendi ask me to call her?"

Melody worried. Because, he has never contacted a guy first. He was contacted too often by men. However, regardless, Rendi had already helped him.

"Did I call you?" The melody runs paced back and forth, just like a clothes iron. The phone he held on his screen still displayed Rendi's mobile number. Accidentally, his finger pressed the summoning button. Before long, a voice sounded from across the street.

"Who? Idiotically. Idiotically. How is Melody?" Melody cursed herself.

Meanwhile, the person who was called kept saying hello many times. With all the courage Melodi gathered, she stuck the phone in her ear.

As if he had already memorized the voice of Melodi, Rendi replied, "Oh Melodi yes. What's up?"

"How do you know I'm melody?"

"Yes clear. Which guy doesn't remember Melody's beautiful voice."

Melody was silent for a moment. Honestly speaking, Melodi's heart has gone somewhere because of Rendi's praise.

"Hello Mel, tomorrow I'm.." The phone connection was cut off because suddenly Melodi's phone died.

"ah! Damnit damnit! Can't see what happy people are?"

***

After school, Melodi was given a special surprise. More special than the martabak that always Melodi and Nisa buy in the city square. Rendi visits the parlor. Nilam said, he made a donation for the orphanage. Now, Rendi is playing with the orphanage children. There was not the slightest difference in degrees between them. Because as far as Melodi knows, Rendi is the son of a conglomerate in this city. From the identification marks he read, it seems his parents have a well-known company and already have many branches.

"Mel, come with me yuk." Take Rendi after getting out of the group of orphanage children who are so happy to play with her. The look on their faces depicted a disassociation as Rendi went to approach Melody.

"Where?" Ask Melody.

"Udah, come with me. Just a second." Rendi quickly grabbed Melodi's hand.

"Where's Rendi going?" Prevent Beno while holding Rendi's left hand.

Rendi looked back, "Beno, Rendi's brother borrowed from Melodi first yes. I promise you, I will play here often. Okay?" Joints raise his little finger.

Beno pouted, then greeted the cuddle of Rendi's little finger. "Hm, yeah. But I promise yes. Just be careful if you lie. Brother, I won't give my blessing to Mel." Beno's lips that make Rendi ruffled Beno's curly hair. While Melodi gave a sharp look at Beno.

Rendi whispered in Beno's ear, "Sister of promise. Doain brother also yes, let sister Melodi accept brother."

Beno also whispered, "If Melodi's sister accepts our beloved sister?"

"Later brother buyin candy, ice cream same chocolate your favorite. How's it?"

"OK on." Beno smiled adorable.

The black Honda Jazz car was slowly leaving the parlor. Melody had asked many times where they were headed, but Rendi insisted not to answer. And what was even more annoying to Melody, her eyes were closed using a slayer. I don't know what plan Rendi will make.

Rendi smeared the Melodies carefully, after they arrived at their destination. Then, Rendi took off the slayer that covered Melody's eyes. The first thing Melodi saw was a grass carving that read 'I love You Melodi'. Melody amazes. Not finished there, Melodi also just realized that they were standing on a love-shaped grass carving.

"Honestly, from the beginning I saw you, I loved it. You want to be my girlfriend?" Rendi gives a bouquet of white roses to the melody.

Melody was silent for a moment. He was confused to answer yes or no. Melodi also likes Rendi, but her status is only a child care home it does not seem suitable if juxtaposed with Rendi who was clearly born from a wealthy family.

"But Ren, I'm just a nursing home kid.." Breath Melody.

"What's the problem?"

"Emang lo is not ashamed, if you have a boyfriend like my home."

Rendi exhaled, "Melody, you must have known that love is blind. So, I don't care if you're a orphanage child or a child of any descent. Love comes from the heart, not from the status of life."

"But I don't pantes for you Ren.." Sturdy Melody. In reality, his speech and heart were inversely proportional. Melodi wants to be Rendi's boyfriend.

"Mel, look over there." Show Rendi to a couple of lovers who are laughing. Her priest looks no flaw at all, but the woman seems to have a slight disability. Seen from the stick he was carrying. From there Melodi can assume that the woman has blindness.

"seen? The girl has flaws, right? But the guy's fun fun is just fine." Now, the two lovers are bribing each other. "So, every relationship must have its flaws and advantages, depending on us. Can we cover up the shortcomings and highlight the advantages? You must have often heard dong, if everything is not perfect. So do we."

The melody gets a little enlightenment from Rendi's explanation. Rendi's words were right. Melody steadied the heart, then answered Rendi's question. "Yes, I want to be your girlfriend."

***

Two months into their relationship, everything felt fine. Rendi always pick up and drop off Melodi every time she goes and goes home from school. Rendi is also not shy about introducing Melodi to her closest friends. Every weekend or holiday, Rendi always invites Melodi to go somewhere. Melody is very lucky to be Rendi's boyfriend. Not only that, Melodi was very happy with him.

January 3, 2019. On that day, both of Rendi's parents died in a car accident. Rendi was devastated by the incident. Rendi locked herself in her room for an entire month. Melody always visits Rendi's house, brings food and keeps it on the nightstand. However, Rendi never wanted to see Melodi. All day long Rendi just cried. Right on the thirtyth day, Rendi made no sound at all. Melodi is worried about the condition of Rendi, finally Melodi goes into Rendi's room. In the corner of the room, Melodi saw that Rendi had already drooped limp with a hand that was spitting out a lot of blood. Melody panicked, and called an ambulance.

Rendi was taken to the hospital. Fortunately Melodi was not late to bring it. Because if it's a little late, chances are Rendi has lost her life. Melody doesn't want to lose Rendi. Rendi's been lying in that ward for a week. His face that always looked cheerful, turned pale. Melody can't see it.

Melody walked into Rendi's ward, sitting next to the ward. Holding Rendi's hand, hoping Rendi opened her eyes again. Mentioned Melodi's name and wiped her tears.

"Rendi, open your eyes. It's me Melodi, your boyfriend. Lo promise the same I will continue to accompany me, but what is the truth? He was lying helpless like this. Where is the Rendi I know so strong? Who always protects me? Mana Ren's. Open your eyes, I miss you Ren." Melody shook Rendi's body, while crying so badly.

Like a miracle from God, suddenly Rendi's hand touched the top of Melodi's head. Rendi is awake. Melody happy not play. The rendition has returned. Melodi hugged Rendi because of her longing.

After three days of Rendi awakening, she was finally allowed to go home. Melodi tidied up Rendi's belongings and drove her home. Arriving at home, there stood a woman in the living room. Apparently it was Lusi, Aunt Rendi. After the departure of her parents, Lusi replaced them to take care of Rendi. However, all was not as expected. Luci always torments Rendi. Melodies always look at the scars made by Lusi.

Slowly everything is revealed. It turns out that the cause of Rendi's parents' death was Lusi. He accidentally damaged the car's brakes resulting in an accident. It was done because he wanted to master the treasure of Rendi's parents. Hearing that, Rendi did not stay silent. He tries to report Lusi to the police, but always fails. Finally he decided to leave the house. Now, he lives in his parents' villa. Since then, he has suffered from a psychic disorder. He always yelled to himself, even trying to slice his hand. However, Melody always prevented it.

For months Rendi had to feel pain. Melody always took her to a psychiatrist for a consultation. And slowly, Rendi began to recover from her illness. However, a strange thing happened after Rendi healed. The joints become possessive in the melody. All his anger is always vented on Melodi. Initially Melodi felt, maybe Rendi was lonely because she had no one else. And Melody is ready to be the material of her impingement. But the more days, his possessive attitude became more and more so. Melody is overwhelmed. And Melodi feels hate with Rendi's attitude now.
