The sound of strong waves that greeted the arrival of Ariel when he arrived at the beach.

He set his eyes on the vast open sea before his eyes.

"Haha, why am I here now?" lamented Ariel.

Ariel looked at the waves in front of her. His palm was placed covering his face and then sighed softly. Recalling what happened that night Joel suddenly appeared at a music concert attended by him.

##Back##

Ariel felt the hand that landed on her shoulder make herself turn around to find out who was behind her.

"Joel,,, man,,,!" hiss Ariel was shocked to see Joel had been behind her.

His hand now grabbed Ariel's shoulder and pulled Ariel closer towards her. His eyes stared intently at Bram who was smiling wryly welcoming him.

"Can you at least keep your fiancee from her?" sindir Joel's.

"Oh, why should I keep my hands while you're not?" reply Bram.

"Isn't that obvious?" answer Joel.

"Not at all" Bram replied, smiling cynically "I know you're just pretending" she said.

"Why should I pretend with you?" argue Joel.

"I've known him a lot longer than you, and I know what he's like if he's lying" Bram said.

"Haa, that was a few years ago buddy, anyone can change" Joel said.

"Such behavior is not something that can be changed in just a few years" Bram replied.

Ariel took a deep breath and exhaled violently. His eyes alternately looked at Joel and Bram who were constantly arguing.

Feeling annoyed by their attitude, Ariel brushed off Joel's hand on his shoulder and flicked his hand to escape Bram and left them without saying anything.

"Hey,, wait," Joel protested.

"Wait for Ariel" Bram tries to catch up with Ariel, but Joel pushes her away.

Ariel ignored those who pushed each other to chase after her and continued to step up.

"Ariel, wait," said Bram and Joel.

Bram managed to grab Ariel's hand, and Joel also managed to grab her one and pull her.

"Eeh-h-h, Ah," complained Ariel as his hands were pulled from opposite directions.

Joel pulls Ariel's hand towards her, but Bram also does not want to lose and does the same.

Attracting each other is unavoidable. As Joel pulls Ariel towards her, the next second Bram pulls Ariel towards her.

"STOP,,,!!!?!!" hardik Ariel stopped their actions.

"Do you want to cut me in half?" ariel stared at Joel and Bram alternately.

"Hey, man, shouldn't you let go of your hand,!" sindir Joel's.

"You're the one who should have let go of your hand, everything's fine before you came" Bram replied.

"Errgghhh,,," angered Ariel and pulled her hand free from their hands.

"You can continue your silly quarrel, but I don't want to see it" Ariel joked.

"Are you not ashamed of fighting here? What are you guys thinking?" ariel Cecar.

"I'm leaving, and don't follow me if you just want to get back into a fight" Ariel threatened.

"Sorry," said Joel and Brem.

Ariel turned around leaving them towards the backstage ignoring them.

They also ended up preferring silence because they did not want to make Ariel become more angry. Following Ariel from behind, they just threw each other protesting gazes.

Backstage, Ariel returns to meet Gina and Oliver, who have finished performing on stage, leaving a standing cheering behind.

Ariel gave them a satisfied smile which they immediately countered by hugging Ariel from a different direction.

"Thank you sister" said Gina and Oliver at the same time.

"Good game, you have to be able to master yourself more when you're on stage" Ariel said.

"It's all thanks to sister too" Gina said.

"But still our game is not as good as big brother's" Oliver lamented.

"It takes time and hard work if you want to get the perfect result. Including the perfect musical performance," greeted Ariel smiling.

"Are they brother's friends?" sidelines Gina when she sees Joel and Bram elbow each other behind Ariel.

Ariel turned around and looked at Joel and Bram with a waistline.

"If you can't keep quiet, I'll really ask the securty to kick you out of this place" Ariel threatened.

A giggling sound rang out from the mouths of Gina and Oliver who shut their mouths. Looking at Joel and Bram who could not at all twitch when Ariel was angry made them no longer able to hold back laughter.

"Now what makes you laugh like that?" reprimanded Ariel looked at Gina and Oliver alternately.

"I only thought of one thing to make them stop, sister" elak Gina.

"What is it" said Bram.

"Sand dexterity," Oliver replied chuckling.

"Sand dexterity,?" Joel frowned.

"True, the victor can date Ariel's sister tomorrow. And the loser the next day" Oliver said.

"Hey,,,! What the fuck. I don't want to" Ariel protested.

"What's the rule of the game, then,?" timpal Bram enthusiastic.

"Wait, wait, wait, why are you so excited, Bram?" ariel was confused.

"Heh, you think I'm also going to ignore this opportunity?" reply Joel smiled confidently.

"Enough,,!!!" hardik Ariel. "i'm not saying that I agree with this ridiculous proposal," exasperated Ariel.

"It seems like you have to agree, rather than fighting here that will attract everyone's attention" Oliver suggested.

Ariel looked around them and saw some people starting to notice them.

The manager of the place was also seen starting to notice them. The smile of victory was vividly painted on Joel's face and Bram saw Ariel had no other choice but to agree to Oliver's proposal.

Finally, after exhaling a deep breath, Ariel accepted the proposal, making those who heard it cheer with delight.

"This is who can answer the fastest, he's the winner. But you have to remember, no one can protest whatever the outcome" Oliver said.

"Okay, what should we do?" ask Bram.

"It has to do with what Ariel likes, and that's music" Oliver said.

"Easy," welcomes Bram with confidence.

"Okay, "greet Joel.

"You better prepare to lose, I know Ariel longer than you do" Bram said confidently.

"Not the time determines whether you know him well or not. But, the intensity of the relationship that occurs between you and him is the determinant," said Joel.

"We'll see later" Bram replied grinning.

Oliver begins by playing the music, and asks them to guess whether the melody is right or wrong.

Somehow, Oliver plays the melody that Ariel plays the night Joel asks him to play the guitar.

The melody of the guitar stored in his heart seemed to help him and made Joel guess two seconds faster than Bram.

"Alright, Joel's brother guessed faster, so he won it" Oliver said.

"I told you, right?" joel smiled, "it's not the time to determine how well you know him" he said.

"Tck, you're just in luck. But I'll still be able to ask Ariel out after you, too" decak Bram hid his disappointment.

Ariel looked at them alternately and passed away just like that.

"Ariel, wait," exclaimed Joel. "don't follow us,!" joel insists on Bram before leaving.

Bram snorted in annoyance and left the place. Go in the opposite direction to the direction Ariel and Joel are heading.

While Joel chases Ariel who steps fast while avoiding people who cross paths with her.

"Wait, Ariel,,,!!" joel said after reaching for Ariel's hand and stopping his steps.

"Let go of my hand" Ariel pinta.

"No, as long as you're gone in this kind of rage" Joel said.

"And you're the one who made me angry" Ariel replied.

"Listen to my explanation first" Joel's request did not let go of Ariel's hand.

"What's? About you winning the bet? I'm sorry to have agreed to that ridiculous proposal" Ariel said.

"I know, but the reason I accepted the proposal was because I felt I could do it" Joel said.

"If I win it, at least you're temporarily detached from it, and you don't have to go with me" Joel said.

Ariel turned around and looked at Joel with a stern look.

"Why are you doing this, Joel?" ariel asked. "then what if he won it?" continued.

"If you feel comfortable with him, I won't protest. But, I know you're very disturbed by his attitude that suddenly turns out of control" Joel explained.

"And if he had it, I would have followed you to protect you" Joel said.

"Why are you doing this for me, Joel?" ask Ariel.

Joel just put his shoulder up and smiled again.

"You don't have to leave tomorrow if you don't want to. I don't want to put you in the thought that you're a bet" said Joel softly.

" I don't like it when you think of yourself as a bet, you're worth much more than that" he said.

"Let's go home," Joel began walking with Ariel's hand.

Ariel pondered every word Joel said to her. After thinking for a while, Ariel stopped Joel's steps by holding his hand.

"What's up, Ariel? Are your legs hurting again?" joel asked worriedly as Ariel held back her steps by slowly pulling her hand.

"I don't mind going with you tomorrow" Ariel said.

"Really??" joel exclaimed with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, I never said I wouldn't go with you with or without that ridiculous bet" Ariel said.

"I'm so happy to hear that, Ariel. Thank you," welcome Joel to gently squeeze Ariel's hand.

"So, what are you planning for tomorrow?" ask Ariel.

"Beach" replied Joel.

"Again?" welcome Ariel to pat her forehead in disbelief.

"Didn't you like it too?" reply Joel. " But I promise you that tomorrow will be different" Joel said.

"All right, I'll look forward to what you want to show me" Ariel said.

Joel cheered to hear Ariel agree with her.

With pleasure, Joel drove Ariel home.

##Flasback off##

Ariel let out a long sigh considering the events of that night. Her bare feet that climbed the white sand made her feel free.
