"If you trip an opponent in melee combat, you immediately get a melee attack against that opponent as if you hadn’t used your attack for the trip attempt."

i'm wondering if "you immediately get" can be translated as: before your next round?

example: i trip X, Y moves to X and attacks, i then take my melee attack, next round.

You have to make your attack immediately, before your next round or even before your next action in the round. You don't have to make the attack if you don't want to, but you won't get it later.
