I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
24.Bram's Wish

"Charlie," he answered, welcoming Bram's hand.

" It seems like you like music" Bram commented, growing a smile on Charlie's lips.

"I like it, just not the fans" he replied.

"What makes you here?" tanya Bram frowned.

"I received an invitation from my friend, I came out because I received an important call that I couldn't ignore" Charlie said.

" Isn't it not allowed inside to use a cell phone?" ask Bram.

" I got an exemption permit" replied Charlie.

"That's it," said Bram, nodding his head.

"What about you? What made you come here?" ask Charlie.

" Any, please don't be formal. It really felt strange" said Bram combing his hair with his fingers.

" Alright," replied Charlie smiling kindly.

" I also got an invitation to come here. I just feel a little uncomfortable inside and get some fresh air outside for a bit" Bram said.

" But heart?" chirps Charlie then laughs lightly. "just kidding" he said.

" To be honest, yes" replied Bram with a bitter smile.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," said Charlie regretfully.

" No, you didn't make a mistake. I don't know how this happened myself" Bram said.

" Did he reject you?" ask Charlie.

"No," Bram shakes his head. " But I've hurt her, and I really hope she comes back. But, I think now it's very impossible," he explained.

" Because he loves someone else?" guess Charlie.

"Almost, it's just that he hasn't realized that he loves that person, yet" Bram said.

"You mean, you know each other?" Charlie widened his eyes.

"I knew him from his beginning. And I saw that person loved him too, but I kept denying it. Now everything feels clearer and it's the end for me" Bram said.

" I'm not very good at comforting others, but I really understand how you feel" Charlie explained.

" ah.. Ii'm sorry. I talk to you a lot. Though you also have to go inside for the show that is going on" said Bram.

"I don't mind, honestly your story, I've seen it happen to my acquaintances. That's why I can say that I understand how you feel" Charlie explained.

"So you didn't experience it?" chirps Bram.

Charlie laughed lightly for a while then continued.

"It happened to my best friend" he said.

"What do you think I should do" asked Bram.

"Only one. Let it go" Charlie said. "It sounds like I'm too mean to say something like that, but if we act like we can get it back by showing our love for it, it will create a new distance that makes it harder to reach" Charlie explained.

"It would be more useful if we remained there for him and still loved him but did not impose our will. And when our hearts are ready, then we can let go" he continued.

" If the love we have is unconditional love, it will just flow. Not because we're doing it because of a demand,"

Charlie explained carefully. Bram was pensive about everything Charlie said.

Yes, Ariel is kind to her and still cares about her when she doesn't show her feelings for Ariel. Unlike when he behaves by showing his feelings. Ariel's cold attitude and thick walls were again solidly built.

Similarly, when he let everything flow according to the sincerity of his heart, and without a push, Ariel again be gentle. Although the tenderness was clearly different from the tenderness that Ariel showed Joel.

"I've already lost to him, there's no need to do anything that shows my feelings anymore, but if I consider Ariel as a brother, will it work?' inner Bram.

"What are you doing here, Charlie? Do you know that I'm looking for you?"

A voice well known to Bram could be heard from behind his back. After taking a deep breath, Bram turned his head and smiled.

"I'm sorry, I held him down" said Bram.

"Eehh, do you know each other?" Ariel exclaimed in shock.

"More precisely just got to know," Charlie errat.

"What brings you here, Bram?" ask Ariel.

"Oh, so Bram is your friend,?" Charlie interrupts Ariel's question.

Charlie notices Bram's reaction and realizes that the person Bram just told him about is none other than Ariel.

'It looks like Bram wants to get out of this situation, whether my guess is correct or not, I'll see it soon, ' Charlie's inner self.

"Well, he's my friend. I can understand why you disappeared. But I don't understand what made Bram leave the room?" Ariel tried to guess and looked at Bram who now turned his face.

"There's no reason, I just want to get some fresh air after getting a call from someone" Bram said.

"Tck, if you're going to lie, find a better excuse" Ariel ruffled her waist.

Bram turned his head and grimaced and raised his shoulders.

'He still remembers that little thing from me. Surprisingly, this will make it harder for me to let you go, Ariel, ' she lamented.

"Alright,, All right," Bram said, raising his two arms. " I was looking for some fresh air because I was upset. And I don't want to mess up your pickle, especially it's a show that's important to you" Bram said.

Bram looked Ariel in the eyes as he said so, making him recall the good times they had together.

'Why did I leave him for silly reasons? Why would I hurt her and choose that woman?why did I, Bram, curse himself and turn his face back.

"Well, now we go in, Ariel," said Charlie, feeling unbearable about the situation Bram was facing.

Charlie hugs Ariel back in and gives Bram time to be alone for a while. Before leaving, Charlie turned his head and winked at Bram.

"What are you guys talking about exactly? You guys look familiar?" ask Ariel.

"Hemmm,," Charlie muttered for a moment before continuing. " There's nothing special really, but I feel like she looks lonely" Charlie said carefully.

"You feel that way?" ariel asked with raised eyebrows.

"Take it's just my gut feeling, and well, I'm just getting carried away with work habits" Charlie said.

"But tell me, do you like it?" fishing Charlie.

"What makes you think that way?" ariel asked with raised eyebrows.

"Just want to make sure my gut feeling is right or wrong" Charlie replied.

"Are you going to believe me if I say that he's a part of the past that I want to forget?" ariel asked, looking down at Charlie.

"I believe" he answered without hesitation.

"When do you believe that?" welcome Ariel squinted.

"Because you're not the one who likes to say nonsense, so I know what you're saying is true. And again, I can see that you're telling the truth" Charlie replied.

"Part of the job, is that right?" greet Ariel.

" I'm facing a lot of people, Ariel. And it made me learn a lot how to see that person telling the truth or not" Charlie explained.

"What is your job?" sela Bram's.

"Police" replied Ariel.

"Wait a minute," Bram put his index finger in his ear hole and tapped his palms on his two ears.

"I think I heard something wrong. What did you say, Ariel?" tanya Bram did not believe what he heard.

"You didn't hear wrong. He's a COP" Ariel said.

"WHATAA,,,??" exciting Bram.

"Is something wrong?" ask Charlie to relax.

"No, honestly, there's nothing wrong. But I really didn't think you were a cop" Bram said.

"Why is that?" ask Charlie.

"Come on," Bram answered, raising his shoulder, "because you're beautiful" she said.

"Are you flirting with me?" welcome Charlie to squint his eyes.

"No," Bram replied casually. "just say what comes to mind" he continued.

"Thank you for the flattery" replied Charlie.

Bram smiled and set his eyes on Ariel again.

"Can I talk to you alone, Ariel?" please Bram.

"All right, I'll give you some time. I'll be waiting for you backstage" Charlie patted Ariel on the shoulder as he winked.

Ariel grimaces when Charlie leaves her, but Charlie smiles to convince her that Ariel must accept Bram's invitation.

Shortly after Charlie left, Bram reached out his hand with a sincere smile adorning his face.

"I just want to talk good. And I also promise there will be no more coercion" Bram promised.

"alright. But can you also promise it won't be long?" asked Ariel still not received a helping hand Bram.

"I promise I won't let you be ashamed in your own image, Ariel." she said.

"Agreed," Java Ariel while receiving Bram's hand.

They walked towards a rather quiet place. Standing leaning against a guardrail below them was a lake reflecting the moonlight.

"Are you going to answer if I ask how you live your day, Ariel?" Bram asked in a soft voice as if in doubt whether it was the right question or not.

"Why are you asking?" ariel asked.

Ariel stared at Bram who was staring at the reflection of the moon on the surface of the lake. Smiling bitterly, as if carrying a burden. The next second, Bram faced his face in front of Ariel.

That's when Ariel saw it. The sparkle in the corner of his eyes, the sparkle Bram hid as strong as he could but failed.

Ariel chose silence. Give Bram time to compose the words he will say to her.

" I try as hard as I can, using any means to take my mind off you. But it all ended in vain" Bram said.

Ariel remained silent and waited for her continuation.

"If I tell you my story, would you mind hearing it?" ask Bram expectantly.

Ariel stared into Bram's eyes. Looking for something in his eyeballs. Find what is painted there. And only one that Ariel saw. Vapidity.

Ariel smiled convincingly then nodded for sure.

"I don't mind" replied Ariel.

"Really?" ask Bram expectantly.

"Yes, I'm serious" Ariel replied.

Bram grabs Ariel's hand, squeezes it gently and then kisses her.

"Thank you" he said.

Bram took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before starting his story.
