I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
38. Surprise 2

"Happy birthday, brother," said Ken smiling.

"How do you know about this?" ariel asked widening her eyes.

"Of course from the data of the older brother who was in the studio," Ken replied lightly.

"And how do you get it?" ask Ariel again.

"Well, that, that, that time, I accidentally saw the sister data when Gerry's coch took her for the sister show," Ken replied beginning to get nervous.

Ariel folded her hands and narrowed her eyes. Making Ken even more nervous, afraid that what he did was a mistake to make Arie will stay away from him.

'Ukh,, I should have thought again before doing this, it is possible that Brother Ariel did not like this, ' Ken said in his heart.

In the next second, Ariel laughed and ruffled Ken's hair again.

"Why did your face become that sesrius?" greet Ariel in her laughter.

"Sister Ariel's not mad at me?" ken asked, not lowering his hand.

"I was touched" Ariel answered, taking the box from Ken's hand.

"Thank you very much, Ken," said Ariel sincerely.

"It's not a big thing, and it's not something fancy either. But, I hope you'll like it" said Ken.

"Should I open it now?" ask Ariel.

"It belongs to brother now, so brother can open it at any time. I was quite satisfied with my brother accepting it" replied Ken.

Ariel smiled and looked at the box in her hand. Slowly, he opened the box.

Ariel widened her eyes as soon as she saw the contents. A bracelet with beads and star-shaped eye bracelets with four-leaf clover-shaped stones inside.

"Beautiful" muttered Ariel as she traced the bracelet with her finger.

"It looks like this is going to be the only bracelet" Ariel looked at Ken.

"Sister mean?" ask Ken to raise his alisny.

"How can you make a bracelet this beautiful?" ask Ariel.

"Well, "Ken scratched his head.

"How did you know that?" ask Ken.

"When you say this is not a big thing and hope I like it" Ariel replied.

"So, you like him?" ask Ken expectantly.

"Very," greeted Ariel with a warm smile.

"It was easy to hear that my brother liked it," Ken replied with a big smile.

Ariel put the box next to her. His eyes looked back at the sea. Ken followed what Ariel did.

"Didn't you celebrate your sister's birthday?" ask Ken.

"No,!" answer Ariel. " I even forgot when was the last time I celebrated" Ariel replied.

"May I ask you something a little personal?" ask Ken again without looking at Ariel.

"Ask me" replied Ariel.

"Has my sister ever been in love?" ask Ken.

"Once," replied Ariel.

Ken turned his head and noticed the change in mood on Ariel's face.

"I'm sorry brother, I didn't mean to make brother_,,,"

"Stranquilize,!" cut Ariel "It was a long time ago, which is why I said my story is not interesting for anyone to hear" he said.

"To be honest, I just want to know what things you're going through" Ken said.

"And why should I do it?" ariel stared back at Ken with raised eyebrows.

"Sister doesn't have to do it, it's just that maybe it can alleviate your heartache a little bit" Ken replied.

"I'm not as good at entertaining others as you normally do, but it might make you feel better if you tell it" she added.

"I feel better now, Ken. With you saying that, makes it sound that you care about me" Ariel said.

"I do care about my brother" said Ken.

"really?" ariel's question was answered with a nod of Ken's head.

"I feel like I have a sister now, thank you," Ariel ruffled Ken's hair back.

'Sister? Only Brother? Uhh, why does this actually feel like a rejection before confession?' heart of Ken.

Ken smiled widely, hiding the piercing feeling in his heart.

"If I ask you where you learn music from, would you tell me?" ken asked, trying to get his mind off.

"At that time, I was working in a burger shop," Ariel said.

"At the end of my shift, I threw out the trash next to the store. I don't know why I'm interested in ringing every garbage lid there. Well, I did. I'm more interested when each trash lid is placed in a different position, making a different sound,"

"So I always play it every time I finish work. Until without me knowing, I can mimic any sound with just one musical instrument,"

"I used a piano that I borrowed from the man who was conducting the street orchestra. And when I'm done playing, they call me the perfect tone,"

"I could tell they were playing the wrong music just by hearing it. And that's where I started to keep playing music" Ariel said.

"Big brother works at a burger shop?"ask Ken not to believe it.

"I need to eat to survive, right?" greet Ariel.

"Then, big brother's parents?" ask Ken again.

"Come on," Ariel answered shrugging her shoulders. "They left me_ rather dumped me when I was 5 years old" Ariel said.

"What???" Ken widened his eyes.

"What the fuck with that expression?" welcome Ariel to laugh.

"I just didn't expect that my brother was even worse than me" Ken said.

"Isn't that worth it?" ariel smiled. " I can be like this now and it makes me grateful" he continued.

"Well, brother is really great. Sis can play music only with the help of a very simple tool," said Ken.

"Don't make fun of me" Ariel pulled Ken's nose.

"Aaahhh,," complains Ken. " I'm just being honest" Ken rubbed his nose.

"You mean learn from the trash can lid?" ariel squinted her eyes.

Ken smiled broadly as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"But it's not wrong" said Ariel again.

They looked at each other and laughed.

On the other side of the beach, Joel and Bram appeared, and hurriedly approached Ariel.

"Wait," stop Joel when they're not too far away.

"What?" ask Bram.

"The person with Ariel is Ken" Joel said.

"You sure?"ask Bram.

"Very sure" replied Joel. "But if you have any doubts, we'll make sure of that one more time" Joel said.

Bram nodded and walked back to Ariel.

Bram put a hand on Ariel's boat to make her turn and show her surprised face.

"What made you guys here?" ariel asked surprised to see Joel and Bram coming together.

Ken looked at the two men in front of Ariel in turn. But Joel and Bram are staring hard at Ken.

Ken exhaled softly, understanding the situation.

"We picked you up, but you're not distudio" Joel said.

"Don't I tell you not to come?" greet Ariel.

"From the way you replied to my message, I knew something was going on, that's why we came" Joel replied.

"We? You mean you guys came together?" ariel asked widening her eyes.

"Can you go home now?" ask Bram.

"Why?" welcome Ariel to frown.

"Because there's something I want to talk to you about" Bram replied.

"We," errata Joel.

"It looks like they have some business with brother" Ken interrupted.

"Don't be taken seriously, they've always been like this" Ariel said.

"Oh right, it's Ken. Who I trained to perform a few days ahead," said Ariel introduced them

" And Ken, he's Bram and this is Joel. They're my friends" Ariel continued.

Ken slightly bowed his body and smiled warmly.

"It's nice to meet your brothers" said Ken kindly.

Bram and Joel looked at Ken with skeptical gazes. Makes him uncomfortable. But considering they were Ariel's friends, made her cover up her uncomfortable feelings.
