The Turmoil of Youth

Chapter 26

But it's hard to lie to Tristan. She did not immediately release Melly from her sentence after she said her relationship with Miko was over. Tristan still spies on her and from there she finds out that Miko is still dropping her off at school.

That's where Melly's plan is weak. Miko certainly still take Melly to school because she knows their pretend relationship is still running. If Melly told him not to pick her up again, he would question her reasons.

Melly tries to explain to Tristan that Miko still wants to take her to school to appreciate their friendship. Melly thinks Tristan will understand, but turns out she's approaching Melly and Miko at school.

"Well, you're still picking up Melly?" sue Tristan to Miko.

Asked so, Miko was obviously confused. He looked at Melly asking for an explanation from her. Melly could only duck and pretended to be interested in the helmet she was holding. It was his fault for lying. As a result, he now did not know how to deal with the two of them.

Suddenly, Tristan heard a snort. "I guessed it," he said. "Lo hasn't said anything to Miko, has he, Mell?"

Melly went deeper. His silence seemed to justify Tristan's accusation. Tristan begins to urge Melly to make sure this time her request is met.

"Gue will give you one more chance, Mell," Tristan said. "Tell him now so I can beat myself up."

Melly remained silent. Miko can't know this way. Melly wanted to explain in person and give understanding. But it seems too late for that.

"Come on, Mell, tell him!" force Tristan.

Miko approaches Melly and makes Melly's attention diverted from the helmet in her hand. "Melly," she called him soft. "What's wrong?"

Melly looked at Miko while biting her lips. He tries to hold on, though Tristan continues to urge him to open his mouth.

"OK," said Tristan finally, giving up on Melly's persistence. "You don't want to say, let me tell you."

"Don't!" ban Melly suddenly.

But of course Tristan did not want to hear Melly's words. She easily said to Miko, "Melly said she wanted to break up with you."

Miko did not believe Tristan's words. She did not even respond, and asked Melly. Looks like he wants to hear it right out of Melly's mouth.

"Melly, is that true?" ask Miko.

Melly still can't answer. Miko considers Melly's silence as a sign of Melly's difficulty to talk honestly to her.

"Is this because of what happened at the meatball shop?" miko asked in a soft voice so that Tristan could not hear her.

Exactly as Melly alleged. He knew Miko would indeed bring up the matter at the meatball shop.

"No," said Melly. "It's not because of that."

"Now you know, Miko," Tristan interrupted. "Melly doesn't want to date you anymore. So, just accept your fate and stay away from him."

Then to Melly, she said, "Come on, Melly, I'll take you home!"

It's hard for Melly to make a move, but Melly knows she has to obey Tristan. So she returned the helmet in her hand to Miko, whispering, "Flateng went straight to Melly's house, let Melly clear everything."

Miko nodded faintly. He lets Melly walk with Tristan and leaves her, but Melly can see the pain on her face and it hurts Melly a lot.

Melly stayed in Tristan's car. Tristan seems to know enough not to bother. Maybe he knew Melly was taking time to calm down after what happened to Miko.
