I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
131. What did Ken hear?

This morning, Ken seemed to be busier than usual. Piles of paper with some people's personal data and some red graffiti mark some people's names accompanied by a small writing below as a description.

Ken put his head on the table, looking frustrated. The older brother who he had thought was leaving left behind him nonchalantly came back with two cups of coffee in his hand, and put one in front of Ken.

"Drink first" Charlie bargained.

"Sister is the best," greeted Ken with a big smile.

"Basic, after swearing at me, now praising me?" satire Charlie.

"Uhm,,, I didn't accidentally," Ken smiled shyly.

"Why don't you just call Ariel to ask her the part you can't finish?" advice Charlie.

"I'm afraid it's going to bother Ariel" Ken lamented.

"In this case I can't help. Let alone Bram or Jesica, the person you always call Gerry's name can't help you, so he's the only one you can call,"

"Rather than you acting like a madman, it's easier if you call him for a minute to ask,"

"At least it will also prevent you from making bigger mistakes later,"

Ken was pensive, trying to ponder his brother's advice. What he said was true, only Ariel could help him easily and could help him to find a way out about the person who wanted to join in the follow-up exercise.

"Is it okay if I call Ariel now?" ken asked for his brother's opinion.

Charlie glanced at the wall clock that they had unknowingly shown the time in the middle of the day.

"I think it's okay, it's lunchtime" Charlie said.

"Well, I'll try" replied Ken.

Ken grabbed his phone, swiped Ariel's name and contacted her. The connecting tone sounded long enough, making Ken intend to undo his intentions until Ariel's voice replied.

"Yes, Ken? What's up?" greet Ariel.

"Uhm, I'm sorry, brother, I'm bothering you" said Ken, feeling bad after confidently asking Ariel to enjoy the holiday.

"It's okay, is there a problem?" ask Ariel.

"I was confused by the arrangement of the song that you made, and the selection they went through still made them get away. I don't know how else I can pick them up again" Ken said.

"Simple, you seem to be thinking too hard about this" Ariel said.

"For an arrangement, try to play the cello at a fast tempo for one minute, and move without a break to play the violin at the same tempo for one minute, you will find the answer,"

"Eei,, stop,,!" ariel panicked a little.

Ken frowned, feeling that the sentence was not meant for him.

"Uhm, brother??" Ken let out a doubtful voice while looking at the face of the older brother sitting nearby.

"Ah, sorry, not for you, Ken," Ariel said in a slightly changed tone of voice.

"Is sister okay? Is Joel's brother there?" ask Ken to doubt.

"I'm fine, Joel's here too. Oh yeah, you don't have a violin, do you?" ask Ariel.

"No, but I can go to the studio_,,,"

"No, not in the studio, doing an arrangement requires a calm atmosphere where you are not disturbed by other sounds" explained Ariel.

"Look, I have a spare key and it's in Jessi's hands. Just ask your sister to ask Jessi for the key and that's my permission" Ariel said.

"You can play in the apartment" he added.

"Good brother, thank you," welcome Ken.

"The selection problem, use the simple way! three days is enough to make more than half fail" said Ariel.

"What does Ariel mean?" ask Ken.

Ken again frowned when he heard a strange noise on his phone, and he was sure it was from where Ariel was.

"Wait a minute, I'll just explain to her for a second,"

Ariel's voice sounded faint, yet Ken could still catch what Ariel was saying. On purpose, Ken turned on the loudspeaker so that Charlie could also hear.

"You can call him later, yesterday we spent time on the trip, and now you're busy with your phone,"

Ken and Charlie looked at each other, trying to hold back their laughter. The spoiled whimpering sound of someone they were very familiar with.

"It's not so," Ariel argued.

"I just explained for a while, and it didn't take long" he explained.

"Why don't you just turn the phone off?" greet Joel.

"Hey,, come on, don't be like this, just give me ten minutes, okay?" ariel Pinta.

"That's too long," complained Joel.

Ken and Charlie laugh silently, not expecting the Joel they know to have a spoiled side that surpasses that of a child.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Ariel was still clutching the phone with one hand, a little distance the phone when Joel spoke so that the person across the phone did not hear it even though it was useless without him noticing.

"Joel,, no! Release first!" pinta Ariel as Joel tries to pull the towel that he wrapped around her body.

"I even turned off my phone, why isn't your phone?" gerundel Joel's.

"So, just turn it off now and call again later," he whined.

"Shut up!" pinta Ariel raised her index finger.

Joel pursed his bibr, while Ariel turned to look back at Joel, putting the phone back in his ear.

"Sorry, Ken. There's a little distraction here" said Ariel.

"It's nothing" said Ariel.

"Ehm, remember when there was a problem in the studio where they all misunderstood you?"ask Ariel.

"Ehm,, I remember, Ariel's sister, me and them all playing together, and they made the same mistake" Ken replied.

"Right," greeted Ariel quickly.

"You can use that way, divide them into three groups. Have them come in different days and hours, and also play music in different ways,"

"Give a little pressure won't cause any problems, just say, one of the times, they're out,"

"I've seen the way they train with you, and what I see has a genuine sincerity doesn't reach ten people" Ariel said.

"Sister Ariel was right, I didn't even think of it at all," said Ken gladly as well as relieved.

"Is there anything else that makes you burdened, Ken?" ask Ariel.

"Umm,, there really isn't, but I wonder where big brother is now?" ask Ken.

"We're in the Caribbean, and will be here a few days. Is there anything you might want_,,,?"

"Ugh,, Joel,,,,"

Ariel did not finish her sentence when suddenly Joel hugged her back. Leaving many traces of his possession on Ariel's exposed shoulder. His hands began to look under the towel that Ariel wrapped around his body.

A few minutes earlier, Joel interrupted his bathing ritual, and he avoided hearing the ringing sound of a cell phone by the name of Ken on his phone screen.

Ariel requests that Joel take off his wet clothes, and replace them with dry ones while he receives a brief post, but Joel does not take it off. When he was talking to Ken, his hand kept trying to pull the towel that he wrapped around his body.

"Your time is up" said Joel.

The bill took over the phone in Ariel's hand and put it in the desk drawer by the bedside. Lifting his small body and taking it to bed after successfully getting rid of the towel that became his barrier.

On the other hand, Ken and Charlie were laughing out loud at a voice they should not have heard. They both laughed until they held their stomachs.

"Hahhahaha, that,,,"

"Is Brother Joel really this kind of person?" ken said in his laughter.

"Husshh,, already, turn off the phone!" pinta Charlie still laughed.

"The doctor's side is surprising" Ken said spontaneously.

Charlie laughed again, until tears came out.

"Gosh, it looks like this could be used to tease her later when they get back, '" Charlie said.

"Haahh, my god," said Charlie.

"But I have to admit he's amazing, he even solved your problems easily" Charlie said.

"Brother is right, even there Ariel is still my helper," Ken said with admiration.

"But why are they in the Caribbean?" asked Ken, frowning, facing the brother.

"Come on," said Charlie to raise his shoulder.

"Maybe this was the plan after Ariel had almost drowned_, you know, and she wanted to eliminate the trauma that Ariel felt," Charlie guessed.

"Although Ariel is silent about this, Joel seems to be able to feel the trauma that Ariel is suffering from" he added.

"That's the only plausible explanation" Ken said. "Sister Ariel can also feel when brother Joel is agitated because of simple things, and vice versa" he added.

"Wait a minute" said Ken as if he had just realized something.

"If they're in the Caribbean right now, even if they don't know where they are, don't they have a time difference?" ask Ken.

"That's true, and I don't know for sure what time it is, all I know is that the difference is not too far, it's just that the trip there takes a long flight" Charlie said.

Ken just nodded his head in understanding.

"Alright, now it's enough to talk about them. I'll have lunch ready. Make the table, and we'll eat together" Charlie said.

"Alright, I get it, but, can you make my faorit food?" please Ken while closing his eyes.

"Since you've worked hard, consider this a gift for you" Charlie greeted with a smile.

"Asikk, I'm the best!" welcome Ken to the fun.

Charlie just shook his head, and stepped into the kitchen while Ken tidied up the table they would use for lunch together.

...>>>>>>>--<<<<<<<<...

Time is fast and it is entering the night. Charlie gets the keys to Ariel's apartment and Ken plans to go there the next day. That night, he sat in his room.

Several times he rested his back agitatedly. For some reason, his mind floated when he contacted Ariel that afternoon.

"Haahhh,,," Ken sighed as he breathed a deep breath.

"This thought is really driving me crazy" he replied in a soft voice.

Ken laid his body on the bed by folding his hands and making it a pillow. Her eyes stared at the ceiling of her room.

Occasionally glanced to the side of the bed where the photo he put on the nightstand.

A photo together on Ariel's wedding day,,,
