I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
36. Anger

#In the training room

Ken plays Cello in his hand according to Ariel's instructions. Sometimes Ariel hears her other students whispering and talking about her as she guides Ken.

To be honest, he also knew that in recent days, he became an owner who was often talked about just because he was very often with Ken even when he came home.

However, so far, he had only been silent and ignored everything that everyone was talking about him.

"Why is Brother Ariel so attentive to Ken?" whisper one of them.

"I saw Ken yesterday get in Ariel's car" the other said.

"It wasn't just yesterday, but it's been going for a week or so" said another.

Nayla held her body up and turned to face them. Staring at them one by one made them inching. It was enough for him to remain silent.

"It seems that one thing you don't know about me is that my ears are very sensitive" Ariel said coldly. "And everything you talk about in such whispers, sounds very clear in my ears" he continued.

They shut up and bowed their heads. Didn't expect Ariel to keep hearing them while being near Ken who was playing his Cello.

"Follow my game, and watch the temple!" Ariel's orders.

"OK," they answered.

"Because Oliver and Gina are not present today, you can listen to yourself what your game is like" Ariel said before sitting in the piano chair.

The room contained only six people, including Ariel. They take positions with their own musical instruments.

Ken with Cello

Ariel with the piano

the guy named Alex with the Violin

One other man also holds the cello, while one woman takes the piano and violin.

Ariel started pressing the keys in a low and slow tone. Over time the tone is increased to be faster.

They can compensate for Ariel's game well at the beginning of the game, but it looks they are starting to look difficult to compensate Ariel who continues to increase his tempo speed.

Ken is still calmly keeping pace with Ariel playing.

TENENG,,,H,,,,!

The sound of error pressing the piano keys sounded. Areil smiled faintly. Suddenly Ariel added more tempo to his game, so they could not compensate and made many mistakes.

Ken is still balancing Ariel well without mistakes to make those who originally talked about Ken stunned.

Ariel's game accompanied by Ken lasted quite a long time.

The faster, the faster, the faster, and faster. Ken made it to the end of the song without any mistakes until those listening to Ariel and Ken's play clapped.

Unwittingly, their play was heard up to the next room and several other disciples were watching from outside the room including Gerry looking at them with amazed eyes.

PROK,,,!!!

PROK,,,!!!

PROK,,,!!!

The game ended and was met with applause from those watching Ariel.

Ken was slightly panting but smilingly looked at Ariel as if asking for judgment.

"Your game is getting better, Ken," Ariel said sincerely. "Only you have to increase your stamina further" he continued.

"Thank you very much, brother," replied Ken smiling proudly. "It's all a blessing, brother," he continued.

"It is rare that you praise your own disciple, Ariel," Gerry chirped toward Ariel who was still sitting.

"Because he deserves it" Ariel said.

"He trained hard into the night, and that was every day. His training schedule is even more when compared to criticizing the abilities of others" Ariel said.

Those who were there were slapped and bowed their heads. Ariel got up from her seat and looked at everyone who was there.

"In recent days I've been quiet because I don't care, but it may be different from how Ken feels about your attitude" Ariel said.

"The silence I did made you forget one thing. You only see what you see without seeing the hard work" said Ariel sharp.

"When you get home after training here, Ken practices three to four hours with me. If he is superior, why are you complaining? On what basis? You don't even add to your own schedule" Ariel said.

Ariel took a deep breath and exhaled violently. They lowered their heads, feeling ashamed.

"If you ask me why I didn't give you extra practice, the answer is very simple" Ariel said.

"Because you didn't ask for it, and Ken, he called me just to ask for extra time for practice. Whether it's here after the training schedule together finished or the night elsewhere even on holidays" said Nayla.

All those who were there raised their heads and widened their eyes, shocked by the fact Ariel had revealed to them.

Ariel, who they think is a coach who is too assertive, is happy to accept anyone who wants additional training with him. And even more surprising was Ken who took the initiative to ask for additional exercises personally.

They only know Ken as a lazy figure when it comes to music. But what Ariel said was just the opposite.

"If you envy her for participating in the music show, I will give it to you if you can surpass her. Because I only register those who are ready to play, not those who just talk a lot" said Ariel.

Ken walked up to Ariel and grabbed her hand.

"Sister Ariel doesn't need to get this way, I'm used to it anyway. Even since I've been here, things like this I've accepted. I'm worried about my brother" said Ken Lirih.

"Hahhh,, come on," said Ariel. " You can rest, practice later you can practice on your own" said Ariel flicked her hand as she turned her back and removed Ken's hand from her hand.

From behind his back, they could see a huge disappointed look on Ariel's face. Ariel walked to the chair in the corner of the room, where she placed her bag.

Ariel sat down and reached into her bag, taking out her phone while crossing her legs.

"You can get out, you need a break" Ariel said with her eyes fixed on her phone.

They immediately came out without a sound. Gerry looked at Ariel while shaking his head and then approached Ariel.

"I wanted to solve this problem, but you acted faster" Gerry said

"If you intend to do it, you've done it long before" Ariel greeted without turning her head.

"All right, well, okay, I know it's too late. And I think too much, "sorry Gerry

"No need to regret anything,! Come outside! I want to be alone," greeted Ariel flatly.

"Haahhh,,, all right," sighed Gerry.

Gerry came out with a lethargic face. While Ken's still standing there.

"Sister, i_,,,"

"You're out, too, Ken," cut Ariel down without turning her head.

"Don't I tell you I want to be alone?" continued.

"But_,,,"

"I'm not mad at you, if that's what you're worried about," Ariel cut again.

Ariel looked up and looked at Ken, making him lower his head.

"A-A-I'm out," replied Ken nervously and turned away leaving Ariel alone. After the door closed, Ariel let out a long sigh, and returned to look at her phone.

The incoming message notification from Bram made Ariel frown. Not only that, a message from Joel also came in and asked the same thing.

[Joel: what time did you finish work?]

[Bram: What time do you come home?]

'What's up now?' ariel's heart.

[Ariel: I finished work at four in the afternoon, why? ].

[Joel & Bram: I'll pick you up,]

"What the fuck?" muttered Ariel while reading a reply from them .

"Are they working together to send me a message?" mumbling slowly.

"But that's impossible, right?" his mumbling again shook his head. Ariel re-typed the message and sent it to them.

[Ariel: No need, no need!]

[Bram: Are you okay?]

[Joel: Did something happen?]

Ariel rubbed her face and let out a long sigh, before returning to reply to their messages one by one.

[Ariel: I'm fine. @Bram]

[Ariel: No. @Joel]

Ariel got up from her seat while putting her phone in her bag. He exited the training room and walked out of the building to the parking lot.

After finding her car, Ariel immediately got in and started running her car leaving the building where she trained music.

The car continued to drive until it reached the beach. Unwittingly, someone has been following Ariel from the moment she left the building until Ariel parked her car, the car that followed her has done the same.

Ariel walked towards the beach and took off her shoes when the sea water touched her feet.

'Hemmm,,, the beach breeze is indeed the best medicine when I feel bad about something, ' Ariel's inner voice closed her eyes.

Just as Ariel was enjoying the wind, the touch on her shoulder made her open her eyes and turn her head.

"Ken,???" greet Ariel in surprise and widen her eyes.

"What are you doing here?" ask Ariel.

"I was worried, brother left with such fury, so I followed brother," said Ken.

"So it's not because of me, I'm sorry" Ken said.

"I told you, right? It's not your fault. So forget. I don't want to talk about it" said Ariel.

"But_,,,"

"I'm fine, Ken," cut Ariel.

"Hey, we better find a little shady place than this, it's pretty blistering here" Ariel said.

"It's also if you still want to be here" he continued.

"So, you don't mind me being here" replied Ken.

"Of course not" greeted Ariel with a warm smile.

'Ugh, why does big brother always smile like that?' heart of Ken.

"Come," Ariel asked.

Ken nodded and walked with Ariel to a palm tree and sat down below.

"I'm going to buy something, brother wait here for a second yeah," said Ken.

"No, Eh_,,, Ken," Ariel did not have time to answer when Ken just left to ignore him.

"This child, really," decak Ariel and then faintly gleamed.

A few minutes later, Ken returned with two young coconuts in his hand. The wide smile that adorned his face, inevitably attracted Ariel's attention.

He just realized that Ken turned out to have his own charm. Plus now Ken has a higher confidence attitude than before.

"This is for my brother" said Ken thrusting young coconut at Ariel which he immediately received.

"Thank you" Ariel said as she received her drink.

Ken sat next to Ariel. Sometimes he glanced at Ariel who was sipping his drink.

'You see how many times, Brother Ariel is still beautiful, ' Ken's mind.

"Do you like the beach, Ken?" ariel asked without looking, breaking her daydream.

"Eh, that, that, I like it," Ken replied stuttering.

Ariel looked at her frown. His outstretched hand touched Ken's forehead, making his body stiffen.

"You're okay, right?" ask Ariel.

"S-S-I'm fine," Ken replied stuttering.

"Then what's with your formal attitude?" ariel asked raise her eyebrows.

"Eh, that, that, sorry brother, release," Ken replied turning his face away.

"Your face is red, Ken," said Ariel.

"Duuhh, sis, don't mention dong," complains Ken covering his face.

"What happened to your adult attitude that had appeared earlier? Where's the disappearance?" sindir Ariel held back her laughter.

"Already brother dong, why do you like to tease me,!" ken complained, his face turned red.

Ariel laughed softly, and again directed her pandagan on the ocean in front of her.

"What do you like about the beach?" ask Ariel again.

"Free" replied Ken.

Ariel turned back to Ken who was now staring at the ocean in front of them. For a moment, Ariel saw a glint in the corner of her eye. It was as if Ken was trying hard to keep him from falling.

Ariel placed her hand on the top of Ken's head and rubbed it slowly. He smiled warmly as Ken looked at him.

"It may be a little late to say this now, but you can tell me anything, Ken," Ariel said softly.

Ken's heart warmed, bringing out a sincere smile on his lips. Feeling touched by the simple actions Ariel takes on her but warms her heart.
