Athanor Online: Monarch of War

Book Store

Diaz drove his bike and the noise of Diaz stopped in one of the houses. The large and luxurious house clearly looks so sturdy on the ground, the spacious yard also looks so beautiful and looks so well cared for by the owner

Diaz turned off the engine and opened his helmet, but he had no intention of entering the yard. Diaz felt he was not worthy to step on his foot in the house that seemed luxurious, compared to the boarding room then this was like an old hut against a magnificent palace

Diaz then opens her phone, to let her know that she has arrived at the promised place. Diaz dialed one of the contact numbers on her phone

"Hello, I've reached Melody"

"Eh, yeah, I'll get ready first"

Diaz hangs up the phone, before Melody contacted Diaz more precisely when she just finished the sport. Melody asks Diaz to drive her to a bookstore to buy a book that has become quite popular lately

Putting that aside, Diaz also got the news right when Melody's latest single was released, if Melody had been taking a break from the entertainment world for a long time, if, this is quite surprising to his fans because the decision taken was quite rushed according to them

But from Diaz's point of view, it was a good thing and a wise decision. Both physically and mentally, Melody needs to rest and forget things that are troublesome for an idol or singer

After all Melody also sings only a hobby, and when her hobby becomes a job it will be very fun but on the other hand it will also be full of pressure. Stopping for a moment is the wisest decision you can make

Besides Melody also does not need to worry about economic problems, she certainly has a lot of savings plus her family also has a high economic aspect. So he is not too worried about economic or financial problems

Forget that

Diaz was actually quite surprised by Melody's sudden invitation, this was the first time a woman had invited her away, or rather it was the first time Diaz had been this close to a woman

Because at school the average student is a boy, so Diaz doesn't really care about relationship feelings or anything like that. Diaz prefers to hang out with friends even if they just sit in a barn and play guitar or chess while joking around

When he graduated, Diaz also did not directly look for women to eat. But under Reno's upbringing, Diaz practiced martial arts and various teachings for Diaz to be a good person in the future

After that, Diaz also practiced his technical knowledge with various courses that he took, be it Las, Lathe, Cnc and so on. Making Diaz's pure talent honed. Diaz is therefore not enough experience to be with women, because of her busy experience of herself

"Hi..."

A soft voice woke up her daydream, Diaz then turned to the source of the voice and found a girl who was greeting her with such a beautiful smile

"Hi too" Diaz said with a smile in return

Diaz's eyes looked at Melody with her clothes covered, long jeans and hoodie jacket in black hooded and hat and mask that she carried in her hands. Diaz who understood could only smile a little at him

'He was very famous, until traveling alone became very troublesome' Inner Diaz was quite amused and funny

Meanwhile Melody was quite surprised, with the warm nature that Diaz gave off. Though the first impression of Melody to Diaz, is a personal Diaz who is cold and indifferent because of her flat expression which is quite annoying. But it doesn't seem entirely true

"You leaving now?"

"Okay, but don't hurry up.." Melody said with a knotty smile and only answered a nod by Diaz

As a woman, Melody does not like to drive at high speed, especially when Diaz brings the latest sports motorbike known for its speed, making Melody quite worried. It was normal, and Diaz was quite understanding

Diaz then took the helmet and put it on Melody's head to be safe if there was anything on the way. Meanwhile, Melody was very fond of Diaz's treatment which was so gentle and warm made her so comfortable near him.

Melody gets on Diaz's bike, Melody looks at Diaz's back, and she feels like she wants to hold him but she soon forgets, because she doesn't want to make Diaz uncomfortable with him. Somehow, lately Melody's thoughts have always been about Diaz

For example, this time, he could have asked his driver to drive him to a bookstore, but Melody asked Diaz to do so. Actually the main reason was to meet with Diaz

The more I think about it the more red Melody's face becomes. This was only the first time he felt something like this, which was honestly very disturbing but on the other hand was also very happy

"Have you?"

Diaz said that Melody's daydreams, fortunately she was wearing a helmet otherwise her red face would be very visible, and Melody was sure that if Diaz saw her then she would be ashamed and want to die

"Already"

"Then hold it"

Melody was quite hesitant, but Diaz held her hand and wrapped it around her waist, Diaz did not want anything to happen if there was a problem on the road therefore this was a precaution

Diaz stepped on his teeth and clutch and immediately pulled the gas slowly. Meanwhile, in a corner of Melody's house, a middle-aged man with a burly body like a retired UFC wrestler stands up and sees Diaz and Melody leaving with a pair of binoculars

The middle-aged man frowned in annoyance

"Who is this rancid boy?"

***

Diaz and Melody got off the bike and immediately entered the bookstore. Without Diaz noticing, they attracted quite a large amount of attention. Diaz's attractive stature, as well as the luxurious sports bike he carries make it not go unnoticed by everyone

Because Melody was uncomfortable with him and Diaz so much attention, Melody then pulled Diaz's hand and immediately entered the bookstore that was already quite famous for its service. Diaz was quite surprised by Melody who pulled her hand so quickly, but she chose to be quiet

"Sorry.." Melody said clumsily, realizing that she had just pulled Diaz's hand, making her afraid that Diaz was uncomfortable

"Not to worry..." Diaz said with a small smile to make Melody not too clumsy

Diaz did not expect that this soaring singer, who should have high self-confidence could even behave like this, making Diaz laugh a little funny in her heart

Melody walks through some shelves in search of the book or novel she's looking for, while Diaz just walks behind her. Diaz wants to find the book, but since Diaz and Melody are one-way, Diaz just walks behind her

Melody stopped on one of the shelves and took one of the books from there, Melody's expression was very radiant when she saw the book she was looking for finally met. Although Melody wore a mask to cover part of her face, Diaz could still see that Melody's expression was quite happy now

Curious, Diaz then glanced at the title of the book Melody was holding, seeing the title of Melody's book made Diaz laugh a little. Melody who realized it, unknowingly lifted her book up, to cover almost part of her face indicates that she was embarrassed

"No need to be shy this is normal, make you read romance novels"

Diaz did not understand why Melody could be this clumsy, whether it was an idol or a singer, Melody was still a woman, according to Diaz for a woman reading a romance novel that is normal and natural, Diaz laughed a little because she saw how funny Melody's expression when getting the book she was looking for

Meanwhile, Melody was also quite confused when she felt embarrassed when Diaz saw the title of the novel she wanted to buy, even though she had never been like this before, even when he bought a novel with the same genre right in front of his father, mother, friends, even his brother. This made Melody quite confused about what was really going on with her

'Why the hell with me?!' Melody's inner still covered her red face with a portion of the book

Not wanting to be carried away by the growing shame, Melody quickly changed the direction of the conversation

"You're here to buy a book, aren't you, Diaz?" Say Melody with a fairly quick pronunciation

"Yes that's how it is"

"Have you met?"

In response to Melody's question, Diaz then picked up one of the books on a different shelf, but not too far away from the line of books Melody had previously picked up. Diaz picked it up and showed the title of the book to Melody

Melody was quite surprised by the book that Diaz picked up

"It's a..."

"Yes, I'm fans of your father Melody" Diaz said with a small smile

The book that Diaz took was none other than one of the latest output books from Adnan Yanu Poetry which judging from his surname then it was Melody's father. Diaz's book is a collection of poetry, Indonesian literature, and various other traditional arts

Melody was quite surprised, unlike young men of his age who liked action novels, mysteries, or fantasy. Diaz's choice made Melody quite surprised. This made Melody quite sure why Diaz's thinking was so mature over her age, unlike her arguably childish self

"Yuk to the cashier"

"okay"

Diaz and Melody decided to go to the cashier to make the payment. After waiting in line for a while, they came out of the bookstore and decided to go to the parking lot to get home. Yet...

*Krucuk-Krucuk

The rumbling sound sounded quite loud, yet it was not the sound of lightning but rather the sound of one's stomach. Diaz who heard that turned to her side and found Melody who was holding her stomach hard

'Why do it now!!'

Melody cursed her stomach which did not have the right time where she had to sound, even though she was with Diaz, but her stomach even made Melody want to die

Melody looked up slightly due to Diaz's higher posture. Melody looked at Diaz who was holding back her laughter, this made Melody embarrassed and looked at Diaz with an angry look but her eyes shed tears slightly

"Eh, don't be angry" Diaz said, still holding back his laughter

Embarrassed, Melody then sped up her pace and walked ahead of Diaz. But his hand was held back by something, something textured like skin but a little rough and big from it. Melody realized that Diaz was holding her hand

Melody then looked back and saw Diaz. Unlike the one before, Diaz was already able to hold back her laughter

"You want to eat first?"
