"Go sweetie, meet your fiancé."

Melody grips and hides behind her mother's long skirt.
She peeks out to the side and see a boy,
similar to her age and height,
stand tall and proud beside his mother and father.

"Go on."

Her mother urges her. She shakes her head side to side,
telling her mother she doesn't want to.

"Hehe, she's a shy one, isn't she?"

The boy's mother said to Melody's mom.

The boy takes the initiative and walks up to Melody who was hiding behind her mother.

He extends out his hand and greets himself.

"I'm Drone. It's nice to meet you."

She ducks further behind her mother in fear.

A few years has passed and Melody's mother
died due to an incurable illness she was born with.
Melody and her father still lived together
in their home living their normal lives.
Melody was still in a mourning state
whereas her father was trying his best keep things under control
despite losing his love one to something he couldn't stop.
