I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
31. Competition Is Healthy

The kitchen, which contained only two people in it, looked like five people had messed up the kitchen in Joel's house.

Bram several times mishandled vegetables and spilled oil. However, Joel still held back and did not explode his anger.

Bram confidently sauteed the vegetables and thrust the results at Joel with a proud smile.

"You're sure this is what I'm telling you?" joel asked narrowing his eyes.

"of course. Didn't you see it too?" greet Bram.

"I just saw you brutally execute a vegetable. And ignoring how you cook when I'm busy with my soup and bean pie" Joel said.

"Then just try. Ariel will love it" Bram said confidently.

Joel stared at Bram's cooking while gulping his saliva. Irregular pieces, colors that do not know whether it is from soy sauce or charred for too long when cooking.

"You sure this can be eaten?" Joel asked again with a horrified look.

Bram nodded confidently with a wide smile adorned on his face. With hesitation, Joel scooped up the dishes made by Bram and stuffed them into his mouth.

The next second Joel immediately melted the food he had not had time to chew and gulped a glass of water.

"Hey, that's the same as you underestimated me," said Bram, not accepting the food he had painstakingly melted away.

Joel snorted angrily and immediately scooped the food into Bram's mouth and immediately covered Bram's mouth using his hands.

"Tow it,!" joel smiled with satisfaction.

Bram widened his eyes as his tongue tasted the cooking he had made. He immediately brushed off joel's hand and melted his food.

"It's terrible,, uhuk,, uhuk," Bram sizzled after he managed to get the food he cooked out of his mouth.

"How much salt did you put in it, Bram?" decak Joel folded both his hands.

"Come, I think four or five spoons maybe" Bram replied innocently.

"Are you crazy???" joel patted his forehead.

"You put in a dose that should be enough for fifteen people" joel growled.

"Hey, I was just trying. I didn't expect the food to be that salty" said Bram.

Joel rubbed his face in despair with Bram's attitude, still denying that he could not cook at all.

"What's the commotion now?" sidelines Ariel who suddenly appeared from behind the curtain.

Ariel opened her mouth when she saw the messy state of the kitchen. Bram immediately straightened his body and covered the results of his cooking with his own body.

While Joel stood with an annoyed face and slightly laid his body on the counter table while folding his hands.

"Is there an earthquake or something? Why don't I feel it?" ariel asked without blinking.

"Ask her that," grumbled Joel pointing at Bram with his chin.

"Didn't I remind you, Joel," greeted Ariel with an amused smile.

"But I didn't expect him to be this bad" Joel replied. "Au has even taught him" he continued.

"All right, all right, all right, let me help, you wait at the dinner table, Bram!" ariel immediately approached them.

"No," cried Joel.

"Don't," cried Bram.

They cried out simultaneously with their hands outstretched forward forbidding Ariel to go deeper into the kitchen.

"Do you underestimate me?" welcome Ariel squinted her eyes.

"Not so," said Joel, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I know you're a lot better than me, but I want to make something for you" Bram said.

"You're going to kill him with your cooking, that's much more appropriate to say" Joel said.

"Hey, comeon. You can teach me again" protested Bram.

"I will not let it go" replied Joel firmly. " You'll only make my kitchen more ruined than this if you try to experiment again" Joel said.

"Tck, " decak Bram.

But Bram can't deny that's what Joel told him. He is not as good as Joel when it comes to making food.

"Then let me help, Joel," Ariel bargained to try to reduce Joel's annoyance.

"I'm going to finish it myself quickly, you just sit down" Joel forbade.

"I feel bad if I don't do anything" Ariel said.

"Then, help me get this bully out, it will help me a lot once," Joel asked expectantly.

Ariel smiled amusedly while shaking her head. However, before Ariel answered Joel's words, the ringing of his phone interrupted them.

"Ah, sorry. I'll take this for a while" Ariel said quickly after looking at the screen of her phone and immediately turned around leaving those who looked at each other with astonished gazes.

They nodded as if they had made a deal and followed Ariel from behind. Steal to hear what is being discussed, as well as to find out who has made Ariel rush to receive incoming calls.

"Yes, Ken?" greet Ariel when putting the phone in her ear.

"Ah, sorry sis, I'm interrupting sister's time. Is there a minute?" ask Ken Ariel's cell phone.

"Yes, sure. Tell me, what is it," Pinta Ariel.

" The show you signed up for last week, held in two weeks, will I be able to train in your apartment tomorrow morning? I remember tomorrow you're not coming to the studio. So_,," Ken hung up his sentence out of doubt.

"You can come anytime, Ken. It would be good if you train more outside the schedule" said Ariel.

"Ehhh, really? You're not kidding, are you?" ask Ken girang.

"Of course, because I'm in full charge of your show" explained Ariel.

"Thank you, brother," welcome Ken girang.

"Oh, that's right. Tomorrow you just wait for distudio, I will be there to bring the Cello that has been repaired, so you can come with me back to the apartment, as well as take my Cello that is there" said Ariel.

"What if someone sees you?" argue Ken.

"What's the problem? Gerry wouldn't say anything weird if you were with me. He even knows about your participation in the show later," Ariel welcomed.

"It's not so," Ken argued.

"But, other kids, they're going to think you're favoritism because you only teach me outside of practice hours, and they don't" Ken explained.

"Because they didn't ask for it" Ariel replied calmly.

"If they ask, I'll give it to them. But they didn't do it, so it was their fault" Ariel explained.

"I doubt they'll even think about it" Ken replied.

"I only trained seven people, Ken, including you. Besides Gina and Oliver. You are the one who is active under my upbringing. If they protest, I just need to make them see themselves if they deserve to protest against me" Ariel explained.

Trance. . . . .

Ken was silent for a while, a comfortable feeling when talking to Ariel who became his coach when other coaches gave up teaching him because of his tough attitude.

The figure of Ariel who does not want to be involved with complicated things but always takes full responsibility for what is in front of him.

"Did you ever think of becoming a lawyer?" ask Ken suddenly.

"What does your question have to do with music?" asked Ariel flatly.

"Ha ha ha, no, nothing. I just thought that if you were a lawyer, maybe the case would be solved easily" Ariel said.

"I'm not interested in being a lawyer, because __,,,,"

"That's not my field," Ken continued Ariel's words simultaneously.

Ariel laughed softly when she realized, Ken just flattered her.

"Sister always says it," welcome ken to laugh.

"Ohoo, so you feel like you know me?" welcome Ariel to smile.

"Just a little" replied Ken.

Meanwhile, behind the door Bram and Joel steal hear what Ariel is talking about starting to look at each other and wonder.

"Who's Ken?" ask Bram.

"Come on," Joel answered, raising his shoulder. "If I don't remember correctly Ariel once mentioned her name when she finished teaching the younger man and brought him a broken cello suitcase" Joel said.

"When? Are they close?" search Bram.

"Eitherway. I didn't know the details because I didn't ask any further" Joel said.

"Stupid," Bram sneer.

PLAQUE,,,!!

"Ugh,," Bram moaned as Joel slapped his shoulder hard.

"What does that mean?" bram protest grimaced.

"Why? It hurt?" joel Cibir.

"Of course it hurts" Bram said.

"Weak," said Joel.

"You really like looking for a commotion" Bram snorted.

"You're the one who started first" Joel replied.

"You're offended that I called you stupid?" tanya Bram narrowed her eyes.

"I'm happy to inject you so you can sleep until tomorrow morning" Joel said.

"Is that the attitude a doctor deserves?" bram's lips.

"Why should I care about that?" reply Joel.

"Eerrgghhh,," brushed Bram. " What I want to talk about here is, why don't you find out who Ken's name is?What if she likes Ariel too?" furious Bram.

Joel was silent when he realized it could happen. He began to think what if Ariel chose someone else?.

Joel shakes his head, eliminating the bad thoughts that sneak into his mind.

"That can't happen" said Joel.

"I agree" Bram replied.

They keep an eye on Ariel who is still talking through her phone where Ariel occasionally laughs lightly because they do not hear what Ken said to Ariel.

"Well, is there anything else you want to say?" ask Ariel.

"No, I called my sister because I wanted to request an additional training schedule" Ken said.

"Well then, I close first" said Ariel.

"Thank you very much, brother," welcome Ken.

"Well, Ken" replied Ariel.

Areil turned around and caught them looking at him.

They frantically pulled their heads with their foreheads and scrambled towards the kitchen.

"What's wrong with them?" muttered Ariel smiling amusedly.

After storing the phones nailed to their cheeks, Ariel followed them to the kitchen.
