The more the Sun was high above their heads, the atmosphere of the park looked increasingly crowded, Hito noticed the exhausted Melodi finally decided to end their activities of walking in the city park.
"It's noon, let's go home!" Hito grabbed Melodi's wrist, again Feli clucked irritably at the sight before him. Then interjected in their midst, making the hand that Hito was holding loose, "Ah.you're right, it looks like I'm getting tired. We better just go home. I'll find a taxi first to drive Melodi." Feli who thinks Hito will take him home is inspired to find a taxi for Melodi to come home.
"Taxi? why did Melo have to take a taxi?" Hito frowned.
"Aren't you going to drive me?, so we better find Melodi a taxi first." Feli.
"No, Melo never took a taxi, let alone. I won't let him either. Me and Melodi will take you home first, just come home with Melodi to our house." Firmly Hito felt furious with Feli who seemed to make a decision.
Although Feli grew annoyed, but he chose to just nod his head, because after all Feli could see Hito completely disagree with his idea.

Feli sat in the front seat next to Hito, ahead of Melodi getting into the car, Melodi did not mind it, and immediately sat in the back seat.
Arriving in front of the gate of the house, Feli seemed reluctant to get down from the car, he was not willing to let his lover go alone with another girl. But he tried to restrain himself, and said goodbye to them both.
"Thank you for driving me, See you soon!" Feli just looked at Hito, without looking at the person behind him.
Within a few meters, Feli stopped his steps, and noticed the car he had just left, seen Melodi who got down from the car and moved to the front seat where Feli had sat before.
"Curtain, you're a child. Slowly, I will keep you away from my lover. Just look!" Grunts annoyed Feli.

In the car, Hito noticed Melodi who had been silent since, "Melo, what are you doing?, are you sick?". Ask Hito
Melody just shook her head, making Hito even more curious.
"Want me to take you to the hospital?" Hito asked the girl beside him.
"No, I'm fine !" Melodic
"Then why are you quiet? aren't you usually like this? are you not happy to walk with me?"
"No, brother, I'm very happy. B-but, looks like Brother Feli doesn't like me?" Melodi had previously felt hesitant to tell Hito, but as Hito continued to urge her the girl finally said as well what she was thinking.
"Have it, you're just not used to it. Don't think like that! If Feli is cheating on you, of course I won't let him."

A few years have passed. Melody grew up as a beautiful girl, she was just about to finish her education at her High School. Since graduating from First High School, Melodi asked her Grandpa to be able to attend public school, arguing that she wanted to socialize more with friends who would meet her at school. Mahendra's grandfather indulges Melodi's wishes, because Hito, the only person Melodi can talk to, has been very busy lately working at his company. Grandpa Mahendra could not ban Hito, because somehow Hito will be his successor, so it is only natural that Hito worked hard since the beginning like several years this year.
Melody is a smart child and has a party at her school. He received a scholarship to continue his education abroad. After a few days Melodi wanted to discuss it with her Grandfather, Melodi felt doubtful. But because the registration time is getting closer Melodi also ventured to say it.
"Grandfather, what are you doing? Does Grandpa's leg feel sore?" Melodi met Mahendra who was straightening his legs on the sofa while reading the newspaper and began to massage his legs.
Mahendra, who knew of the melodic attitude that he wanted, scrunched his forehead and said, "If you act like this, Grandpa is sure there's something you want to tell Grandpa." Mahendra
"Grandfather, why did Grandpa accuse me of that? But there's actually something I want to talk to Grandpa about". Melodi squinted a spoiled smile on her lips while scratching her non-itchy head.
"Alright, Grandpa will listen to her." Mahendra replied.
"Grandfather, I got a scholarship to medical school abroad, and I plan to accept it. Is Grandpa letting me?" Melody ended her words by biting the tip of her lower lip, waiting for a reaction from Mahendra.
Mahendra who was reading the newspaper, immediately stopped him and looked closely at Melodi.
"Scholarship?, overseas?, so you intend to leave your old grandfather behind?" Ask Mahendra.
"Grandfather, it's not like that. I'm only a few years there, I promise I'll finish my education as soon as possible, so I can get back with Grandpa, Grandpa, and become a reliable doctor who will take good care of Grandpa later".
Mahendra stood back and forth while stroking his thin beard.
"No..!!" Mahendra replied briefly.
"Grandfather...!!" Melodi took a deep breath, lowered her head, she was eager to force Grandpa Mahendra to allow him to study abroad, but because Melodi was a good and obedient child, he tried to accept Grandpa Mahendra's decision, "Well, I'll go to the room. Good night Grandpa!" Melody was about to leave Grandpa Mahendra for her room, but Mahendra stopped her, "Melo wait!, why don't you let Grandpa finish Grandpa's words and just want to leave?"
"Excuse me, I don't want to force Grandpa, you better take a break!" Sahut Melody.
"Good boy...!!" Mahendra gently stroked the head of Melodi, "Of course Grandfather won't allow you to receive that scholarship. You think Grandpa's money isn't enough to send you abroad?". Mahendra's words made Melodi again lift her head which from earlier lowered her lethargy, "I mean Grandpa?" Ask Melody.
"Give the scholarship to an accomplished child who can't afford to study medicine abroad!, you can go to the best medical university abroad, and Grandpa will pay for all your education!"
Melody's eyes sparkled with what she had just heard, she hugged Grandpa Mahendra to say thank you.
"Grandfather was just afraid, when you were there, Grandpa had to face God and never see you again!" Grandpa Mahendra said with his eyes closed, hugging Melodi.
Melody tightened her embrace and said, "Don't talk like that, Grandpa!, Promise me, Grandpa will live to see this Grandpa's grandson become a doctor that Grandpa can count on!" Melodi said as she shed a few tears, because she would miss everyone she would leave in this house.
