"Eeehhhh, you know Joel?" Ariel exclaimed in shock.

"It's good to help you, Christina," said Joel, smiling kindly.

"He's the guy I told you about, Ariel," Joel replied.

"And Ariel is the person I told you about, Christina," Joel turned to look at Christina.

Ariel let go of Joe's hand and reached out to Christina.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Christina," Ariel said kindly.

"It's nice to meet you too, Ariel," Christina said with a smile.

"Have you waited long?" ask Ariel.

"No, I just got there and the brands were pestering me until you came to help," Christina smiled, then turned her gaze to Joel.

Ariel caught Chrietina's interest in Joel, then smiled.

"So, what are we going to do now?" ariel opened the conversation.

"I'll go with you, please" said Christna.

"And you, Joel?" ariel looked at Joel.

"What if we eat first?" advice Joel. " After dinner we can watch a theater show that will start before midnight" he continued.

"Then this is a deal" Ariel said.

"What do you want to eat, Ariel?" ask Joel.

Joel keeps showing his side of attention, no matter where they are and who they are with.

"Ehmmm,," Ariel put a finger on her chin and looked at Christina.

"I'll leave that decision to Christina. I honestly don't know much about culinary. More culinary from several countries," denied Ariel.

Chrietina smiled happily and looked comfortable when breaking into the club with Ariel.

"If I choose, I would rather try food from the Netherlands" said Christina.

"I've never tried it. But it looks good. Let's try it?" greet Ariel.

"All right, then we'll eat that. Let's find an empty place and I'll order food for you two" Joel replied.

"Again" greeted Ariel.

Joel laughed and ruffled Ariel's hair.

"Ahh, stop!" ariel brushed Joel's hand.

"Let's go, let's go" said Ariel holding Christina's arm.

They went around for a while while looking for a place to sit and relax together.

Joel ordered some food and drinks for Ariel, Christina and for himself.

As they sit together, Christina is seen trying to get close to Joel. Close her body to him, and inexplicably, Ariel shifts away and gives them space to both.

"I'm so grateful you took me for a walk tonight, Joel" said Christina.

"It's no problem, Christina. I just thought you should also go out to find a friend," Joel replied smiling.

Ariel notices Cristina's moves, which are always trying to catch Joel's attention. However, Joel is just acting.

'That's the look of love expected by Joel. And I can't give it to her. Should I unite them? Christina seems interested in Joel. Or should I find out more about Christina?'' whispered Ariel's heart.

Ariel prefers to be quiet when Christina is busy telling stories and Joel responds kindly as usual.

Ariel was pensive and deep in thought. Joel did take a quick glance, but did not have the chance to say anything to Ariel.

This made Ariel seem to be the third person among them.

Time seemed to go slowly, until Ariel felt someone pat her shoulder slowly, making Ariel turn her head.

"Bram,,, you,,,!" hiss Ariel.

Bram gave a big smile enjoying the shock from Ariel's face, then his eyes turned towards Joel who seemed to ignore Ariel from his point of view.

"May I accompany you, Ariel?" bram's gentle speech asking permission to withdraw Christina's attention.

"Join with us, do you know each other?" chirps Christina.

Christina smiled broadly while Joel gritted his teeth.

Ariel smiled blandly, but did not show any dislike in front of Christina.

"Well, we know each other. But I don't know you yet" said Bram.

"Christina" he said as he extended a hand.

"Bram" he replied to Christina's hand.

"Wahh,, what a coincidence then, we're planning to hit the theater in a moment. Do you mind joining?" take Christina.

" It's with pleasure" Bram welcomed.

Bram and Christina throw each other smiles. And flirtatiously wrapped her hands around Joel's arms.

Bram did not let go of the opportunity that came suddenly in vain, his hand immediately grabbed Ariel's hand and began to walk towards where the theater would be held.

The situation becomes even more awkward as Christina leads the way with her hands coiled around Joel's arms.

'Arhh, why is the situation like this? Why did Bram have to show up?' joel lamented in his heart.

Ariel chooses to slow down her pace, as Bram purposely embraces Ariel's shoulder. However, Ariel who was disturbed immediately thrust her into Bram's stomach and patted his hand.

"Argh,," he groaned as he held onto his stomach.

"Get your hand, Bram," Ariel joked.

"Auhh, why? Didn't he do the same?"replied Bram grimacing.

"What's wrong?" ask Christina.

Bram's slow moaning sounds rang out in Christina's ears even though their distance was quite far apart.

"Errr,, yeah. Maybe my eyes are myopic so they don't see the stone" Bram said, still grimacing.

"Do you want to sit down? Joel might be able to help," Christina bargained.

"No need, he won't die just from a small rock" Ariel said.

"You're so mean, Ariel," complained Bram.

"Hey, is your big body going to lose balance just because of the little things? Weak,!!" cibir Ariel's.

"Can't you just be a little sweet to me?" please Bram with a face.

"No," answered Ariel sticking out her tongue.

Christina giggles at the interaction between Bram and Ariel which she thinks is like a pair of lovers.

"You guys are so compatible. Are you two lovers?" ask Christina sparkling.

"Yes,,"

"No,,"

Bram and Ariel gave different answers simultaneously. This actually makes Christina again tease them by pairing each other.

Joel, who had been silent since then, brushed aside Christina's hand and pulled Ariel's hand away from them for a while.

"I need a minute with him. You wait here" Joel asked and passed by holding Ariel's hand.

"What do you mean by acting like that?" joel asked as he managed to find a quiet place to talk.

"Understand the situation, Joel. There's Christina there, I don't want her to know about my relationship with Bram, including you who also keep the attitude in front of her" Ariel flatly welcomed.

"I know you think about this too. He is new to this town. He who has no friends. And he's the one who just got out of the hospital" Ariel continued.

"Shall we just get out of here?" bargain Joel.

"No, it would only make Christina keep a lot of questions. And I was lazy to answer, "Ariel replied.

"Then, you want to stay with her while you feel uncomfortable with her?" ask Joel objection.

"I have no other choice. But I can enjoy this" Ariel said.

"You mean?" joel asked his forehead.

" Well, at least I was able to elbow him. I can have a chance either to step on her foot or anything to let go of my frustration," Ariel said with a mischievous smile.

"But you sure you're okay?" joel asked, worried.

" I'll be fine, Joel. Don't worry," welcome Ariel.

" Alright, but promise me you'll tell me if he acts over the line" Joel said.

"Sure, Joel," replied Ariel.

"Let's go back, they'll ask a lot of questions if we take too long" Ariel asked.

Joel nodded and held Ariel's hand back to where Christina was waiting.

" What are you guys talking about? Why should we stay away from us?" ask Christina

"It's not important" Joel replied.

"If it's not important, then we can know do_, Auuhhh,,," Bram whimpered before finishing his sentence.

Ariel steps on Bram's foot while Ariel is by his side as quickly as possible.

"Why are you, Bram?" ask Christina worried.

"There's an insect biting my leg" Bram replied as he turned to find Ariel staring at him with an evil smile.

"You don't have to worry about it, Christina. It will only end in vain" said Ariel.

"Geez, Ariel. You're so rude, what if he gets hurt?" greet Christina.

"Ariel was just joking, when she said that, it meant that I was okay" said Bram.

Ariel rolled her eyeballs and raised her shoulders.

"So, are we still going to see the theater? Or do you need to be treated first?" ask Christina.

"We can keep watching, I'm fine" Bram replied enthusiastically.

"Alright, let's go," Christina asked.

With such a sentence, Christina again scolded Joel, and pulled him.

Ariel was silent for a moment to see Christina who was trying to keep stealing Joel's attention with her behavior.

"Come," Bram took Ariel's hand.

"Jagan you think you can hold me, Bram," threatened Ariel brushed off Bram's hand and stepped in front of Bram.

"Jeez,, Ariel. Are you still mad at me? I'm sorry about what happened yesterday" Bram said.

"Do you want to help make me better, Bram?" ask Ariel.

"Yes, of course, I will do anything to make you feel better" Bram said with a smile.

"Go from before me and my life,!" pinta Ariel with a sharp look.

"Impossible," welcome Bram.

"Is your hatred for me that big?" ask Bram lethargic.

"Even bigger than this" Ariel said.

"Well, it's a punishment I deserve, and I'll take it" Bram replied.

Ariel snorted in annoyance and folded her hands without stopping her steps. In front of her, Christina walked hand in hand with Joel.

"Look, he even ignored you" Bram said.

Ariel chose silence and ignored what Bram said.

As they arrived at the venue for the open-air theater, Christina chose a seat and leaned her head on Joel's shoulder, while Ariel chose to sit on the spot that was behind them.
