I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
145. Another happy news

The sound of Ariel's apartment doorbell rang when it was almost time for dinner. Ariel rushed to open the door while her husband was still busy preparing the table.

Just as the door opened, Jesica immediately hugged her best friend as soon as she saw Ariel opening the door.

"Ahh, it's been a long time," said Jesica.

"We even met during Darcie's event that night," Ariel welcomed back Jesica's embrace.

"And it's been a while for me" replied Jesica.

"You look good, Bram," Ariel said after letting go of Jesica's embrace.

"Much better" Bram replied.

'More precisely, very well, don't you think?" sela Joel who appeared from behind Ariel is still wearing an apron.

"Geez, is tonight's party the four-eyed man's cooking, '" Bram complained as Jesica nudged Bram's stomach.

"What the hell," Bram murmured.

"You should have seen the face of the person in front of you when you said that" Jesica said.

Hearing that, Bram turned to look at Ariel who was pursing her lips with eyes looking at her.

"Ha ha ha, well, well, well, I'm just kidding, Ariel," Bram said, raising both his hands and immediately understanding Ariel's intentions. "You know I really enjoy the cooking, don't you?" coined.

"Sweety, let them in first, why are you standing in front of the door like that?" advice Joel.

"Can we just kick it?" ariel pointed at Bram. "He never stopped being annoying" he added.

"And Jesica will also go with him" Joel replied.

"Why is that?" welcome Ariel disagreed.

"Look carefully at Jesica's fingers, I think their relationship is improving very quickly" said Joel smiling.

Ariel immediately raised Jesica's hand and saw the ring embedded in her ring finger making her eyes perfectly round.

"Aahhhh,,, Jessi," cried Ariel gleefully as she hugged Jesica tightly.

"Let's go in, and Bram shut the door!" ariel's orders are at will.

"Truly, who would have thought I invited you guys just became like a celebration for you two" Joel said as they sat on the sofa.

Joel served drinks to his two friends, then took off the apron attached to his body.

"Now I'm curious about your story" said Joel sitting next to Bram.

"As when to plan next, and of course we will help" Joel said.

"First, we have to bring our parents together" Bram replied.

"Ahh, of course. Your circumstances are different from ours. Your parents certainly contributed to this, "welcome Joel.

"We can help convince both of your parents, how?" bargain Joel.

"Yep, and I'll help in any way, too" Ariel said.

"Of course you'll be like that" greeted Jesica with a light laugh.

"Alright, now that we enjoy the meal, think of it as a congratulation to both of you," said Joel with a big smile.

"Sometimes it sucks when we can't hide anything from you two but you're very good at hiding things from us" Bram replied with a grunt.

"Because you're too bad to hide your feelings" Joel replied.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, even your answer is the same as Ariel's answer as usual" Bram replied.

They started their dinner with small talk, as if celebrating the good news they had. Occasionally joking and chiming in on each other's words.

Until Bram sees the cake Joel made this morning and intends to open the lid, Joel fails to prevent Bram from eating it there.

"Wait, don't eat it here!" said Joel.

"Why? Don't you want to present this?" bram replied as he put the cake in his mouth.

"It's not so," Joel argued. "I just want you to bring all the cookies home" he continued.

But Bram just went back to eating it as if he did not care.

"Hey, please, stop eating it here," Joel scolded impatiently as Bram went back to eating his cake.

"Because this is your wife's favorite?" ask Bram.

"Ariel, what's wrong with you?" ask Jesica worriedly.

Hearing that voice, Joel and Bram immediately turned their heads and saw Ariel darting into the room just like that. Leaving the confused faces of his two best friends.

"Hahhh,," said Joel. "When he had dinner only after a day of not eating" he lamented.

"Is Ariel angry that I ate this?" tanya Bram felt guilty.

"No," Joel answered, closed the cake box and gave it to Bram.

"Help me spend this and take it out, don't eat it here because she doesn't like the smell" Joel said.

"Didn't he like this? Even Charlie knew about it, too" asked Bram puzzled.

"In the meantime" said Joel, leaving his best friend to catch up with Ariel.

"Are you sick?" ask Jesica worriedly. "Now you look a bit pale" he added.

"No," Ariel replied smiling.

"Actually, we invited you over to say this. But you also gave us a surprise with your relationship" said Joel.

"I won't eat the cake again if you're going to have a problem with that" Bram said.

"I've said it wasn't that" Joel replied.

"Then what?" sela Jesica is impatient.

"Ariel's pregnant, and she'll be nauseous with just the smell of the cake I made this morning" Joel said.

Bram and Jesica widened their eyes, giving Ariel the same inquiring gaze of what Joel had revealed to them. Upon seeing Ariel nod, Jesica immediately hugged her best friend and congratulated them both.

"So, you just bring the cake," said Joel again.

"But if he doesn't like the smell, why did you make it?" ask Jesica.

"I also didn't know he was going to turn around to dislike this cake. But after this cake just came out of the grill, Ariel gave her reaction" Joel explained.

"That's what it looks like" Bram replied.

"So, now what? Do you want something else?" tanya Bram felt guilty.

"I can find whatever you want to eat, Ariel," Bram said.

"No, I'm less tasteful now" Ariel replied.

"And it's not because of you, okay?" he added.

"But_,,,"

"Come on, I'm happy with your relationship, so don't ruin it!" cut Ariel.

"In exchange, you must inform us of your next plan" Ariel asked.

"All right" replied Bram.

They chatted again for the night until it was time for Bram and Jesica to leave.

Ariel delivers them home to the apartment door, looking at them until they get into the elevator and the elevator door closes.

Ariel heads to the table to clear the table, but her hand movements stop as Joel moves faster stopping her hand.

"What do you think you're gonna do, Sweety?" ask Joel.

"Just clean this up, isn't it fair that I clean it when you've cooked everything?" greet Ariel.

"No, I can do it myself, just rest. Don't you have a schedule to train tomorrow?" ask Joel.

"That's true, but it's _,,,"

"Sit down if you want to help me. That's more than enough" Joel said.

"Alright, you're becoming more bossy now" Ariel murmured.

"Call me whatever you want, but I still don't allow you to do the job" Joel said.

"You didn't even eat anything from this morning until now" he lamented.

"I was eating" replied Ariel.

"And get him out again?" reply Joel.

"Well, well, I didn't do the job and will wait for you to finish" Ariel replied.

Joel starts cleaning the table and washes away all the dirty cutlery, while Ariel sits in the sofa waiting for her husband to finish getting into the room together.

"Jo, can't you tell her to stop helping me?" jesica whispered when she saw Joel coming to pick up his wife.

"I've tried everything, but he's become more stubborn than ever" Joel replied in a whisper.

"I'm so worried that he's exhausted, even though I didn't see him until now that he's tired, but still," Jesica said.

"He's even very close to Steve now" he added, as if to lure Joel to ban his wife from the mastermind again to Jesica's house.
