For a while Joel was stunned to hear Ariel's revelation. Ariel's simple words seem to say that Ariel only shows his weak side to Joel but not to others.
"Then tell me what's going on?" ask Joel.
Ariel moved her head and pointed at the side of the room. Joel followed the direction Ariel pointed to, then was surprised to see some broken musical instruments, even almost destroyed.
"How did that happen?" ask Joel again.
"I don't know how it started, it's just that a commotion happened while I was having lunch outside. Then Ken came up with a panicked face, and so did Gina and Oliver, and they said the next room musical instrument went through something similar and found my student's belongings there, too,"
"But, we also found their belongings here" Ariel said.
"That sounds like someone deliberately pitted you against," Joel said.
"I think the same, but accusing them is also not the right thing to do" Ariel replied.
"Who were you at lunch?" ask Joel.
"At first I was alone, but in the middle of my lunch, Jessi came with someone who was in the business field" said Ariel.
'Now it makes sense why I feel strange with Ariel's reply, and why Ariel says I don't send messages at all, ' Joel said.
"Why should Jesica see you?is he bothering you again?" ask Joel.
"No. He just said hello" said Ariel.
'This is not the right time to tell about my meeting with Mr. Evrad. In any case, I must say this to Bram first because Mr. Evrad is his own father, Ariel's inner self
"Not long after that, this happened" Ariel continued.
"Why is it that every time you go through something bad, Jesica's always there?" furious Joel.
"Isn't he the most likely to do all this? He will do anything just to make himself satisfied" he said.
"I,, I think, he couldn't have done it. If he does, it's too simple, Joel," Ariel said.
"Don't tell me you still think of him as your best friend?" guess Joel narrowed his eyes.
Ariel remained silent.
"He was the one who betrayed you, Ariel. Remember that" Joel said again.
"I,, just can't," Ariel stopped.
'I still can't believe he betrayed me. It feels really impossible, why does everything feel so faint? and why do I still think Jessi couldn't possibly do it?, Ariel's inner self.
"Believe that he who became your best friend stabbed you in the back?" joel continues Ariel's words.
Ariel was silent again.
"Then, do you think, who would be able to do this? It's not just one or two musical instruments" Joel asked.
Ariel was getting drowned in her silence. No matter how much he tries to shake it off, but everything Joel says has a possibility.
"Hey,," Joel touched Ariel's cheek and guided Ariel to look at her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to add to the burden of your mind. Now, let's solve the problem of musical instruments first" said Joel.
"I'll change everything, Joel" said Ariel.
"I was expecting you to do that, and I'm sure there are a few things you're considering why you're doing it. Then why didn't you call David? Don't you have her phone number? I'm sure he can get the instruments you need at the best quality and friendly price of course" said Joel.
"David,, my God, I totally forgot about him" Ariel patted her on the forehead and began to smile.
"Give me your phone, while you check once again whatever you need, I'll call him first. If I call that lunatic with my phone, he'll just ignore it" Joel said.
"All right" replied Ariel.
Ariel gives her phone to Joel unsuspecting.
When Ariel's phone is in his hand, Joel immediately opens the screen, then stunned for a moment to see the wallpaper on the screen Ariel's phone. He shakes his head and starts checking Ariel's phone at the receiver.
Sure enough, the message from him along with the reply sent, was no longer there. His finger moved quickly to get out of the message section and into the call and contacted David. Trying to stay calm so Ariel doesn't suspect she's been checking Ariel's phone.
"Well, this is a surprise. What's calling me, Ariel?" greet David after his call is connected.
"It's me" said Joel.
"Wait,,,! Hey, are you guys exchanging phones or something? Obviously this is Ariel's phone number" David said.
"You're talking too much as usual" said Joel. "Ariel called you for help, and of course it would be a benefit to you" he continued.
"That's not the way when you ask someone else for help, Joel," Ariel scolded, interrupting Joel's conversation.
Ariel asks for the phone from Joel's hand, then turns on the loudspeaker.
"Hi David, I'm sorry if I called you all of a sudden" Ariel said.
"It's okay, I don't have a problem with that" David replied with a crisp laugh.
"Well, what help can I give you?" so David asked.
"Hmm, can you find me some new musical instruments?" pinta Ariel is hopeful.
"Of course, as much as you need," David replied without thinking.
"How many musical instruments do you need?" ask David.
"Uhm, two pianos, six Cellos, four Contrabass, four Violins, two Violins and four acoustic guitars" Ariel said.
"Shortly,,," pause for a moment. "It seems like my hearing is problematic. Can you repeat, Ariel?" david Pinta.
"My answer is still the same, David," Ariel replied affirming her voice.
"Why do you need so many musical instruments?" david asked in surprise.
"There are some problems, so I need everything I've mentioned" Ariel replied.
"I know this is too sudden, and I'll also understand if you mind to _,,,"
"Hey, don't underestimate my abilities" David quickly cut.
"Getting everything you need is just a piece of cake for me. It's just, I'm surprised you bought a lot of musical instruments" said David. "Are you planning on opening a private studio?" coined.
"That's for the studio where I train," explained Ariel.
"Ahh, I see, then it needs a certain standard for each different musical instrument" said David.
"All right, I'll find him, and I'll make sure everything gets delivered the day after tomorrow. Where should I send the instruments?" ask David.
"I'll send you the location" Ariel replied.
"All right, then it's done. Ah, if you have time, come to my place tomorrow to make sure all the tools," said David.
"Thank you very much, David. I'm very helped" Ariel welcomed.
"No problem, you're my friend anyway. Hey, now I can show them that I have a musician friend, "and so David followed with a loud laugh.
"You're still talking a lot like you used to" Joel said.
"Wow, why? Are you jealous of me? I thought you weren't there, '" said David.
"You can expect that in your dreams" Joel said.
"Pft, Ha ha ha, now you're really a slave to love" David said.
"Whisper,!!" greet Joel.
"All right, all right, all right, Hey Ariel? You still there?" ask David.
"Yes?" answer Ariel.
"I'll tell you about the instrument" David said.
"Thank you" Ariel smiled happily.
"And I have free advice for you" David said.
"Eh, what is it?" ask Ariel.
"These four eyes will be troublesome when he is jealous, so just be careful not to make him jealous,"
"Hey, what does that mean?" joel bursts, but David just laughs loudly.
"The reason is simple, any man who sees you for the first time, he will be attracted to you, of course because you are beautiful, also your charm is undeniable and makes them approach you. When that happens, and eyes four are jealous,"
...... pause for a moment,
"Just kiss her, then she'll be tame,"
"DAVIIDDDD,,,,,,,,!!!!!!"
Joel and Ariel simultaneously chanted David's name which was answered with a voice of satisfied laughter. The sound of David's loud laughter rang out for a while before finally disappearing.
"He's crazy" Ariel stared at his phone.
"But always help when needed" continued Joel.
"I can't deny that about that, he's totally reliable, but not with his mouth" Ariel said.
Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, then set her eyes on Joel.
"Thank you, Joel. You helped me again-ah no, rather save me again," said Ariel.
"Don't I ever tell you I'd do anything for you?" reply Joel smiled.
"Tomorrow I will accompany you" he continued.
"But, work?" ariel felt bad.
"I can make time for tomorrow" Joel replied.
"Really?" ask Ariel to make sure.
"Of course, consider it to replace the time that has passed without saying anything that we have gone through" said Joel.
"But tell me one thing!" coined.
"What?" ask Ariel.
Joel takes over Ariel's phone again, then touches her screen to unlock it.
"When are you taking pictures of me? I didn't even notice it" asked Joel, revealing Ariel's phone screen with a wallpaper of Joel's photo there.
