Suddenly a Young Miss
EXCUSE ME...

It had been a few minutes since the car carrying Sam and Melody stopped in the courtyard of the magnificent Orlando residence. Melody and Sam were both silent.

"You know what it's like to be separated from your real father from childhood, right? And you certainly don't want to if your prospective child experiences it, either" said Sam who finally opened his voice and broke the silence. Melody was still silent and rubbed her stomach which she had always ignored. Melody still halfheartedly accepts the fact that she is now pregnant with Matthew's child. Melody is actually pregnant. When the USG alone, it was heard the heartbeat of the fetus Melody who said the doctor was eight weeks old.

"I'll teach Matthew a lesson myself, if he hasn't changed and is still a jerk" Sam promised, looking at Melody who just threw her straight ahead.

"Matthew will look after and love you, Mel!" Said Sam again, and Melody remained silent.

Sam took a deep breath and immediately let go of his seat belt, then got down first. Sam goes around the car, opens the car door for Melody and helps the girl get off. Sam guided Melody into the terrace of the Orlando residence whose atmosphere was dim because the day was already dark and the sky was also a little cloudy.

As Melody's heart now.

Sam pressed the bell beside the main door. After a few minutes, the door was finally opened from the inside, and it turned out that Matthew himself opened the sturdy door. Melody simply lowered her face and felt reluctant to return a fixed gaze from Matthew.

"Melody," muttered Matthew softly.

"I drove Miss Melody here because-"

"Save Papa's company, Matthew! And whatever you want to do to me," Melody cut Sam's line and said without even looking at Matthew.

"Of course, Mel!" Matthew hurriedly felt Melody's hand, yet the girl reflexively jerked at him. Matthew didn't do it and took a little distance.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to," Melody hurriedly apologized and thrust both her hands towards Matthew as if feeling resigned.

"What if you still object" Matthew's tone sounded gentle and polite.

"One more thing you need to know, Mr. Matthew. Miss Melody is eight weeks pregnant" Sam told Matthew, with her eyes turned in disbelief.

"Is that true, Mel?" The look on Matthew's face immediately sparkled happily and both of Matthew's hands were already tightly grasping Melody's hands now.

Melody only nodded faintly, when suddenly her body had already been grabbed by Matthew into an embrace. Melody also just silently stared as Matthew hugged her.

"Please take good care of Miss Melody, Mr Matthew! I say goodbye," said Sam finally after all his strength swallowed a bitter wedge in his throat. The man had already turned around quickly and was about to head to the car, as his phone that was in his pocket rang out loud.

"Hello!" Sam paused his steps for a moment to speak on the phone.

"How come? She was fine when I got there and she was sleeping!" Sam's slightly panicked voice made Melody hurriedly approach Papa Aaron's assistant.

"Why, Sam?" Melody asked in a panic.

"Okay, I'm there now!" Sam hung up while hanging up the phone.

"Sam-k"

"Mister Aaron's condition is back to drop," said Sam who immediately made Melody surprised.

"We're going to the hospital now!" Cetus Matthew hugged Melody in Sam's car and opened the door for the girl.

"Can you drive?" Matthew asked, making sure Sam's face looked panicked.

"You!" Sam gives Matthew the car keys and the man immediately sits next to the driver's seat. It didn't take long, the car drove out of Matthew's house.

****

Claudia and Bu Ayana were already in front of Papa Aaron's treatment room, when Sam, Melody, and Matthew arrived at the hospital.

"Mother!" Melody immediately rushed into Bu Ayana's embrace.

"Claudia has told me everything, " said Bu Ayana while cupping and gently rubbing Melody's face.

"I'm sorry Melody, Mom!" Melody cried violently and Bu Ayana re-hugged her daughter who somehow even suffered the fate like she used to.

"It's over!" Whisper Bu Ayana while throwing his gaze at the figure of Matthew who looks on his face filled with guilt. The first time I saw her, Ms. Ayana was able to guess that the man must have done it to Melody.

"I'm really sorry, Mom!" Matthew said regretfully. The man almost kneeled before Bu Ayana and Melody, but Bu Ayana instantly prevented him quickly.

"Everything has happened" said Bu Ayana who was all her might holding back the anger in her.

"May you truly regret your actions and truly repent, Matthew!" Continue to Ms. Ayana again.

"Matthew will take responsibility and marry Melody, Mom! Matthew also promised to make Melody happy and not make her tear up again," replied Matthew full of earnestness along with the door of the treatment room that was opened from the inside.

"Family Mr. Aaron," called a nurse who had just come out of the treatment room. Everyone immediately contacted the nurse and listened to her explanation.

Ms. Ayana, Claudia, Melody, and Matthew went into the treatment room to see Mr. Aaron whose condition was already very concerning. His body was already filled with wires connected to medical equipment, indicating that Claudia and Melody's birth parents were not doing well.

"I'm sorry Clau, Papa!" Claudia hugged Papa Aaron's body and cried. While Melody only held the middle-aged man's hand while joining in tears.

"Ayana," called Papa Aaron stammering at Bu Ayana who was embracing Claudia and Melody.

"Sorry!" Said Papa Aaron again whose voice only sounded outlast-goals. Bu Ayana nodded while shedding tears.

"I have forgiven Mr. Aaron" said Bu Ayana, wiping Papa Harun's arm. A sense of relief immediately reached Papa Harun's heart.

Matthew who did not want to waste time also apologized and asked Papa Aaron for permission to marry Melody at that time.

"Papa don't go first!" Melody was already hugging the body of Papa Aaron now.

"Don't leave Mel," Melody's great-grandson again who's been crying so much.

"Pope dear Mel," said Papa Aaron stammering at Melody who did not want to let go of his embrace to Papa Aaron.

"Everything is ready" reported Sam, who had just entered Papa Harun's nursery.

Papa Aaron's last request was to see Melody and Matthew get married, so Sam was quick to take care of everything before it was too late.

****

Matthew was still standing while holding an umbrella to protect Melody who still did not want to move from beside the grave of the father.

Papa Harun's funeral was completed a moment ago, and the mourners had also dispersed. Only Melody was left who was still calm and staring blankly at the tomb of Papa Aaron.

"Mel," Bu Ayana finally approached the princess and embraced her affectionately.

"Mom came home with Mel, right?" Melody asked still with a blank look.

"Mom went home with Claudia. You're Matthew's son's wife now, so-"

"Mom can come home to make Melody feel a little better" Matthew interjected Bu Ayana's sentence.

Bu Ayana sighed.

"Well, I'll accompany you at Matthew's house. Don't be sad anymore!" Persuade Bu Ayana to the princess. Melody simply nodded and immediately buried her head into Bu Ayana's embrace.

While Claudia who had heard the words of Bu Ayana who would accompany Melody for a while at the house Matthew again had to hold back his jealousy. Claudia was just as devastated as Melody was as she had just lost Papa Aaron. But Melody was going through a lot of inner pressure, so Claudia should have relented.

"What's wrong?" Aaron asked who had been grabbing onto Claudia's shoulder. The two men had already slightly moved away from Papa Aaron's tomb.

"Nothing!"

"I don't see Sam" Claudia replied a little wobbly.

"He left immediately after the funeral was over. It seems like the sadness is many times over," Aaron said as he sniffed his shoulders.

"It's a lie if he says there's no feeling for Melody! Yesterday, when Matthew made the wedding vows, Sam walked out of the room and didn't want to see him" Claudia said.

"Poor sam!"

"May she soon be reunited with a good woman after this. Or for example, if he wants to take Melody away from Matthew, I will give you my full support" Aaron whispered, a little Claudia joking.

"Ck! Fuck up!" Claudia punched Aaron in the stomach and was finally able to smile thinly.

"By the way, I asked Papa Aaron for permission to approach you and have a serious relationship with you, Clau!" Aaron said that immediately made Claudia frown full of question marks.

"meaning?"

"I've asked for blessing. And Papa Aaron doesn't mind at all. So..." Aaron reached into something in his pants pocket, before the man pulled out a diamond ring from inside and wrapped it around Claudia's ring finger.

"You want to marry me, right?" Aaron asked who was like a lightning strike in broad daylight to Claudia.

Aaron's not proposing right now! But this guy is forcing Claudia, because Claudia hasn't said yes and Aaron has put the ring on Claudia's ring finger.

"Your answer must be yes!" Aaron insisted.

"You're forcing me?" Claudia asked with a look of disbelief.

"Yes!" Answer Aaron honestly.

"Sorry I can't, Aaron!" Claudia releases Aaron's ring in haste, but is prevented by Aaron.

"Why?" Ask Aaron not understand.

"I'm not a good girl! I'm cheap, I'm used to, and I'm not the girl you deserve! You deserve another girl better." Claudia's still trying to get rid of Aaron's ring.

"Used?"

"Yes! I'm not a virgin anymore if you want to know!" Claudia's whispers bluntly.

"Who did it?" Aaron asked full of probes that instantly made Claudia peck for a while.

"I-I don't know!"

"I was drunk and bullied by my friends," Claudia replied, finally stammering a little. But the truth is that. Claudia never knew which man had taken her virginity until this very moment.

"You really don't know?" Aaron was still staring at Claudia full of probing.

"Yes, I don't know! Can you not look at me like that?" Claudia's touch was a little angry at Aaron.

"May I tell you then?" Said Aaron again who immediately made both eyes perfectly rounded Claudia.

"Tell me what you mean?"

"Tell me, if the jerk who first touched you and took your virginity was me" said Aaron, who again sounded like lightning was striking in broad daylight.

"What did you say?"

"Sorry, Claudia!"
