I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
137. Who her?

Several pairs of eyes set their sights on Ariel who had just come by being delivered by a man they had never seen before.

Some of them had indeed seen Ariel delivered and picked up someone, but never really saw who the person who drove him.

"He's the one who trains in the room at the end, isn't he?"

"True, if it's not wrong, um, coach Ariel, that's her name,"

"Which has one assistant?"

"Certainly,"

"I don't know what kind of person he is, but many say there are more than thirty people who want to train under his guidance, yet he only accepted nine people just because they did not pass the selection,"

"It's so arrogant,"

Some of them started whispering and chiming in, giving a judgmental look at Ariel who had just passed in front of them who was just giving a faint smile.

"Don't judge recklessly first," one of them began to mediate.

"I've heard, he does have a different way of training someone, but anyone who trains with him, is immediately accepted in a pretty good orchestra group,"

"I even have an acquaintance who trained with him when the coach was not him, but he was willing to train,"

"When asked the reason, he only replied, he would train if the person he was training had the pure intention to practice, not just to be proud, and he was known to know that only by hearing someone play music with his hands"

The last sentence that one person who defended Ariel was enough to silence those who spoke on tilt about Ariel.

"But just look at him who was delivered by a foreign man," he said not to lose.

"As for those of us who do not know her, but what if that person was her own husband? Didn't the news spread that she was married?"

"I've read in a magazine, he already has a lover, and not the man printed on the magazine, it also says they're getting married,"

"Didn't you? New will? Doesn't mean that, after all, why should you interfere in his affairs? Let it be, you didn't even practice under his guidance,"

"Or don't you, you were also rejected by coach Ariel for failing the selection?"

Once again, the person who continued to corner Ariel again lost heavily in talking with his friend who always defended Ariel.

"I don't mean not to defend you, I just think logically" he said in a relaxed tone.

They finally stopped arguing and rushed towards their training room when they saw their coach coming.

While those under Ariel's guidance had finished with their warm-up when Ariel opened the door.

"What time are you guys coming? You've even finished your warm-up" said Ariel, impressed by the way they train.

"They're all here thirty minutes before the hour" Ken said.

"Wwow,, good spirit," Ariel praised, bringing a happy smile on their face.

"Alright, now listen to me for a moment" said Ariel.

Ariel placed her bag in the long chair in the corner of the room, then stood in the middle of them, asking for their full attention.

"There's going to be an orchestral performance in the next two months, and I'm going to pick three of you,"

"Who I choose is not the one who looks good in training, but the one who can understand what he's playing,"

"I hope you support each other, not envy each other, because I will still appoint you all to play in turns,"

"Dann,,,,"

They nodded in understanding, then looked at Ariel, curious about what to say when their coach hung up his sentence.

"There will be one person who will accompany Ken to go to Paris to make me accept their invitation, so compete in a healthy way, you understand?" Ariel.

Ariel's last statement seemed to be a motivation where they became more excited than ever. They continued their training.

Even the next day, they came back sooner. Making the few others who were practicing in the space next to them give astonished gazes.

They train hard as if saying they don't want to disappoint their coach who cares about their dreams, the coach they think only knows about playing turns out to be more than that. They realize their coach is looking for opportunities in any way so they can perform in a solo or orchestra performance.

Just like before, that afternoon they finished training and were reluctant to rush home. They got together and exchanged ideas with Ariel who answered their every complaint. Make them admire the figure of the coach in front of them.

"Sister, are we also allowed to talk about personal matters?" ask one of them.

"You can tell me anything only if you're comfortable telling it" Ariel replied.

They fell back on each other, until the sound of their laughter was heard outside the room. Until the sound of knocking on the door made them silent at once along with the door that was opened.

One of Gerry's students appeared while bowing his head politely.

"I'm sorry I interrupted your time, coach," he said politely.

"It's okay, what's up?" ariel asked the girl standing at the door.

"There are people looking for you" he answered.

"Searching?" repeated Ariel with a frown in wonder, yet also felt deja vu.

"Yes," he answered.

"Please" he said as he took a step back and let the person looking for Ariel in.

Ariel widened her eyes as Joel emerged from behind the door, feeling both joy and wonder at the same time.

"Thank you for driving her, you can get out" Ariel said.

"Woahh, he's handsome," chirped the voice of the girl behind Ariel.

"True, is he also going to train here?"

The whispers continued, while Ken only chuckled softly at what was happening.

"Why come? Isn't it now not the clock for _,," Ariel hung up her sentence when she saw the clock that was coiled around her wrist and widened her eyes instantly.

"Jeez,," cried Ariel in surprise.

They look at each other when they see their coach's attitude welcoming a stranger to them, until they hear the man's successful voice shrinking their guts.

"Did you forget we had an event to attend, Sweety?" ask Joel.

"It's not so," Ariel argued. "But I forgot the time" he added.

"So, you want to go home now? After all, Ken can be counted on to finish the rest," Joel bargained.

"Well, wait a minute" greeted Ariel, then turned to pick up her bag.

"Today is enough here, you can go home," said Ariel as she grabbed her bag.

"Sister," cried the girl on the bangs.

"Yes?" greet Ariel.

"Whose handsome brother is that?" tanyakanya.

Some of them glared their eyes to rebuke his friend who was giving the question.

"Why?" ariel smiled.

"Uhm,, it seems, I can train more if the handsome brother joins the training with us" he said spontaneously.

Ken tried to hold back his laughter by smothering his mouth, Alice who saw it began to catch where it was headed and also held back her laughter.

"Didn't you hear that brother calling Ariel's sister what?" spray his other friend.

"Why indeed?" asked the pony-haired girl with an innocent face.

"Sister Ariel just go, just ignore the question" said another.

"Are you not curious?" said the girl on the party doesn't want to lose.

"He's my husband, is that enough?" ariel asked again.

"Ahh, Brother Ariel must be lying," he said.

"Why should I lie about this?" welcome Ariel to frown.

"So the handsome brother was silent, did not even agree with Ariel's answer," he replied reasoned.

Ariel rubs her nape, confused as to how to behave, expecting Ken to explain in vain, as they assume Ken is conspiring.

"Bunny, why don't you just explain it to them? It seems like they'd rather hear your answer than mine" Ariel said in the end.

Joel smiled amusedly while shaking his head.

"Why not just show them instead of explaining them a lot of talk?" goda Joel was still standing by the door.

"Ha ha, funny," Ariel replied with a short laugh, then put on a serious face in an instant.

"No way," Ariel sternly began to step closer to her husband.

"Let's go home" Ariel asked as she stood in front of Joel.

Joel nodded softly as he extended his hand which Ariel immediately greeted with pleasure. The two of them stepped out ignoring their disappointed voices.

"Sister Ken, is it true that the handsome brother was Ariel's husband?" alice asked after Ariel closed the door.

"That's how it is" Ken answered, raising his shoulder.

"Yeahhh,,,,"

Some of the girls who were interested in Joel let out a disappointed sigh. But they keep asking about Joel to Ken, even though they only get the answer that Joel is a doctor.

"It looks like your students are now a little braver than they used to be" Joel broke the silence as they walked towards the studio exit.

"Well, let's just say they have less and more value respectively," Ariel replied.

Joel just smiled, braided his fingers with his wife's fingers. He let go of Ariel's hand only when they were about to get into the car.

Some who saw them went back to talking about Ariel. Without realizing it, he was back in the conversation because he was picked up by a man they did not know his identity.

>>>>>>>--<<<<<<<<

Ariel stared at herself in front of the mirror. Determine if what she is wearing will be suitable for the event she will be attending tonight with her husband.

He styled his hair in a Half Updo style, weaved his right and left sides, then collected his hair on his right shoulder. The simple makeup she put on her face with coral lipstick made her face look fresher.

Chic Halter's open shoulder Gown Night Dress with White Parchment colors along the eye-covering leg Ariel accidentally chose when her husband chose to wear a Dark Brown suit.
