I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
140. Statements

The silence ended when Ariel opened her voice again.

"In reality, I don't even have the slightest interest in him other than being in a relationship as a friend with him. Not because there's anything less than Darcie, but because I can only love one person,"

"Uhmm,, pardon me, it seems that I unconsciously used an inappropriate name. Uhm, I mean, sir Adonis, hheerrr," said Ariel shuddering at once to hear the words coming out of her lips.

Darcie suddenly burst out in a loud voice while showing her thumb to Ariel. Making all the guests stunned to see how Ariel was very relaxed in front of Darcie, even impressed to behave arbitrarily

"Uhm,, Darcie," said Ariel turned towards Darcie who was still laughing.

"Can I just use that name? My tongue will often slip if I use the name A_, Adonis to you," Ariel explained without burden.

"Do as you please Ariel, your way is too unique to stop," Darcie replied in her laughter.

The guts of those who had previously issued harsh words immediately shrieked when they saw Ariel could make the Adonis they were reluctant to laugh out loud.

"We were friends even before I got married" Ariel said. "Of course my husband also knew her and they were friends, too,"

"Logic only, if it is wealth that I want, people like Darcie that I will seek, not people who are under it," said Ariel.

"My husband may not be comparable to Bram. But they have the same side. They try hard to achieve what they want. In fact, to be in his current position, it takes years of effort to achieve it" said Ariel.

"Are you two really in a relationship?"

The question seemed to be thrown accidentally until the person who asked smothered his own mouth and lowered his head.

While Ariel only smiled faintly at the question without intending to intimidate the person asking.

"Right," Ariel replied making everyone shocked.

"Just, our relationship ended quickly, and it ended before I became known as a musician" Ariel said.

"I don't know exactly what you've heard about me and Bram. The reason why our relationship ended, we prefer to keep it in our past pages, why should we question what happened a few years ago?"

"If you say Bram is guilty, then I will say I am guilty. And Bram will avenge that he's the one who's guilty, it'll just be a long drama of blaming each other for yourself,"

"If we are at peace with ourselves, does it make sense that you who are not even involved in anything are judging what we are doing?"

The atmosphere was still silent, no one replied to what Ariel said. Nevertheless, some people still gave a dissatisfied look on their faces.

"Indeed, part of the thinking we will assume when the relationship ends, will draw the conclusion that the person just wants to look for the person who is more than a variety of aspects,"

"But there's one thing you should know,"

"I have a perfect life, and I would never want to have to trade the perfect life I have earned for wealth no matter how much wealth it is,"

"I have a loving husband, a friend beyond a brother, even a annoying sister who always cares for me, where our previous relationship was only a coach and student relationship,"

"What else do I want when I've got it all?"

For a while, Joel looked at his wife. Hearing what the wife said in front of everyone made her feel that her existence was recognized and appreciated. Until Ariel turned to look at her husband, smiling as if to thank him.

"Among all the people I know, she's just the perfect person for me" Ariel said, staring at her husband's face.

Ariel's statement slowly erased the skewed look she had previously received. Until Bram suddenly joined Ariel while screwing Jesica.

"If you still doubt Ariel's statement, now I will say, she is the one I love, not Ariel. And we've all been friends for a long time" Bram said, pointing to Jesica.

Bram paved his fingers with Jesica fingers that looked a little surprised by Bram's statement, but chose not to say anything.

"Our friendship may seem like it doesn't make sense, but that's the truth. The four of us are friends" said Bram.

"I will reiterate once again here, that what Mr. Evrad said, which was none other than my father, was all a lie,"

"Ariel and I have a similarity in one thing, where we're just going to say what's inside our heads,"

"And I don't want our efforts to be in vain when we choose to forgive ourselves, to improve our relationship with a friendship that is better than ever" Bram said.

Darcie's loud clapping sound managed to attract everyone to follow what she was doing.

"Does that mean, this is your double date?" darcie Goda.

"Hey, you're the one who invited us here, doesn't that mean you're the one who planned this?" greet Ariel.

"Okey, but you have to remember this, Ariel," replied Darcie with a big smile.

"I don't know if you have a relationship with them,"

"I invited them because they had made an offer of cooperation, and now I can say I will accept their offer" Darcie said.

"Are you serious, Mr Adonis?" sela Bram with a look of disbelief.

"Of course, even if you make a mistake, I just need to hold Ariel accountable" Darcie replied at will.

"Why does it feel like I'm always the target?" grouch Ariel.

"Then keep your promise! And I'll let you go" Pinta Darcie.

"You promised to play the piano on my show, remember?" darcie blinked her eyes.

"I've been looking forward to your pianom game for a long time, and I'd love to see it in person" Darcie said.

"It is with pleasure" replied Ariel. "Specifically for you, I'll present you a song I just made" he added.

"It's an honor for me" replied Darcie smiling happily.

Joel returned away for a while, letting his wife play the piano without interruption. While in another corner, Jesica forced Bram away from the crowd of people to a quieter place.

"What do you mean say something like that, Bram?" jesica Sentak.

"In order to save yourself, why would I pull it in?" coined.

"I'm telling you the truth, is it wrong?" reply Bram with a calm voice.

"To protect Ariel, isn't it?" cibir Jesica's.

"You know? I'm even getting sick of it now with the attitude you're showing. I'm silent because this thing could protect Ariel, if it wasn't for that, I'd tell everyone that what you're saying is nonsense" Jesica said.

Jesica turned her body with annoyance adorning her face. However, before Jesica could go far, Bram blocked Jesica's wrist and pushed her body against the wall, locking Jesica between Bram's hands.

"Why does it always have to be Ariel you call? Why do you always assume what I do is based on how I feel about her?" lick Bram.

"Because you love her like crazy" Jesica replied, pushing Bram violently.

Jesica gave Bram a sharp look, and passed away leaving Bram.

"What do I have to do to prove that I love you, Jes?" ask Bram lirih.

Jesica's steps stopped, then turned to look at Bram with a look of disbelief.

"What?" Jesica frowned.

"Are you trying to play me, Bram?" cibir Jesica smiled wryly.

"Not even a little bit" replied Bram.

"I love you, but I can't force you to be with me. And I don't want to make the same mistake a second time" Bram said.

"What I'm feeling now, is much different from what I used to feel,"

"But I can feel the same way. The difference is, that person is no longer Ariel, but you" Bram said.

Unknowingly, Jesica's tears rolled. His wait was not in vain.

"You don't have to answer it now, even if you don't answer it, it won't change how I feel. I love you unconditionally" said Bram again as Jesica remained silent.

Bram smiled bitterly, feeling once again he was late in his steps. However, unexpectedly, Jesica burst into his arms, hugging Bram tightly while whispering in his ear.

"Basic stupid! You made me wait too long just to say that" Jesica said sobbing happily.

"I love you, too, a long time ago and it hasn't changed until now" Jesica said.

Bram pushed Jesica away, looking into her eyes as if she could not believe what she had just heard.

"Really?" ask Bram.

Jesica nodded slowly.

"Say one more time" Bram's pinta.

"The only stupid man I love is you, Bram. I love you," Jesica said.

Bram pulled Jesica back into his arms, lifted her body and twisted her with a happy feeling. A happy feeling that he never even imagined he could feel.

"I love you, love you so much. Thank you for waiting for me" said Bram.

"WOHHOOOOOO,,,,,,!!!!"

The sound of cheering from behind them made them jerk in shock to release their embrace and turn around the source of the voice.

Ariel, Joel, Ken, Darcie clapped their hands to see the two of them finally come together, happy to see their best friend together.

"When have you been there, Ariel?" asked Jesica with a red tinge on her face.

"Wwoww, this is a rare moment to see a Jessi blush," teased Ariel.

"Even a bar-bar man could also blush, I should have photographed it" Joel said.

"There's going to be another party" Ken chuckled.

"Whisper," Bram greeted her face away.

Joel and Ken embrace their best friends, including Ariel and soon give a warm hug to her best friend. Bring along Alice who doesn't know any stories to cheer up their happiness. While Darcie who bears witness to their friendship smiles thinly before leaving them with Frank to continue their plans.
