I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
45. I'm Sorry

###Morning of the day. . . .

Ariel sat in the balcony of her room, still wearing the same clothes she wore while celebrating her birthday with her three friends.

Sitting leaning on the only reclining chair in the balcony of his room. His eyes looked tired from not sleeping since the unexpected incident that happened last night.

"Haahhh,," Ariel sighed softly.

"Why do I think so much about Jessi's words? Why should I be bothered by his appearance that seems to know Joel very well?" ariel said to herself.

"In the end, I wasted their efforts preparing a surprise birthday for me. I didn't mean to, though," he said again.

"It looks like I have to apologize to them" he added

Ariel combed her hair using her finger, then let out a long sigh. His eyes were staring at the sky that was turning brighter and brighter.

Waking up from her seat, Ariel immediately went into the bathroom to clean up and prepared to go to the studio.

Moments later, Ariel sat on her makeup desk. Trying to cover her tired face using makeup.

"I can't ignore the training schedule this time. Their performances are very important to them" said Ariel staring at the reflection of herself. "Especially Ken," he added.

Ariel snatched the bag on the table and immediately walked out of her apartment towards the studio.

>>>>>><<<<<<

Somewhere else at the same time.

Joel prepares to leave for the hospital for work.

Just as Joel exits his house, he is shocked by the arrival of Jesica who smiles at him.

"I finally found your house, Joel. It turns out you really still like the beach, just like before" said Jesica smiling brightly.

Joel stares flatly and ignores Jesica to get to his car.

"You will regret continuing to ignore me, Joel," Jesica said with a sly grin on her face.

"Even if you kill me, I don't care" Joel replied coldly.

Joel continued to move on without caring about Jesica's words.

"really? That sounds interesting. But, don't you want to hear what's going to happen to Ariel?" his lips.

Joel stopped just as his hand was about to open the car door. Anger quickly crept onto her face, and turned to stare at Jesica who grinned widely at her.

"You're threatening me?" grunts Joel.

"This is called negotiation, Joel," said Jesica.

Jesica stepped forward to approach Joel. His hand stretched out and placed his palm on Joel's cheek, then smiled.

"At any time, I won't hurt you, especially with this handsome face, I can't let it get scratched one bit" Jesica said.

Joel's jaw hardened with his hands clenched at his side. Stare sharply at Jesica.

"Fuck all the things you said to me" said Joel fiercely, shaking Jesica's hand.

Joel got in his car and left Jesica. Jesica has not yet moved from her place. Look at Joel's departure, and smile back.

"We'll see how far you'll keep avoiding me, Joel" he said.

Jesica pulled out her phone and contacted someone.

"Find as much information as possible about the person whose picture I sent you. You have to give the result in less than two days" he told someone on his cell phone.

"Well," a submissive answer was heard from across the phone.

With that, Jesica put the phone back in her pocket and left the place.

On the other hand, Joel had just arrived at the hospital and immediately headed to his room to change clothes.

Before he starts work, Joel pulls out his phone and tries to contact Ariel.

Tut,,,, uh,,,,

Joel sighed softly and tried to contact again.

Again,,,

Joel's fifth call still remains unanswered. And try again,

"Are you really mad at me, Ariel?" joel was frustrated.

Joel decided to send a message and put the phone in his pants pocket after turning off his voice.

Without Joel knowing, Charlie did the same. So did Bram. Feeling the same as Joel felt considering Ariel did not answer any calls from them.

#In the studio..

When Ariel arrived, she was greeted with strange behavior by everyone who was there. Everyone who passed by lowered their heads, looking into Ariel's eyes and just greeting her nervously.

"What's wrong with them?" ariel muttered as she arrived at her training room.

Meanwhile, several people who had previously crossed paths with Ariel were talking about her.

"She is beautiful, and has rarely smiled since coming to this place. His abilities are also amazing, but why are you so afraid of him?"

A man asked two friends in front of him. They cross paths with Ariel before entering their training room trained by one of Ariel's friends.

"You don't know or pretend you don't know?" his friend was upset.

"Hey, I don't know what's been going on for the past week because I'm a permit" she said.

"Then, why don't you just ask her directly?" ledek's another friend.

"Ah, you're right. I've just moved away. I feel that coach Ariel doesn't mind if I ask her to train me" he said excitedly.

He immediately stood up and intended to go but was restrained by the hands of his friend.

"Heh, you want to get in trouble?" pissed off.

"What the hell, what's wrong? Coach Gerry is not here yet. And this is the first time I've seen coach Ariel come this early" she said.

"Yesterday, coach Ariel just got mad at all of us, more precisely all of us in this studio" he explained.

"there's a reason for this, right?" tanyakanya.

"There was, and he didn't yell at us one bit, but that's what looked even more horrible,"

"Ahh, I can't believe that coach Ariel will behave the way you think. And I'll prove it. I want to go there," he said.

"Hey,,, Niels,, come back," cried his friend asking him named Niels to cancel his intention.

Niels just smiled and waved his hand. He immediately went to Ariel's training room, which he said was empty.

However, when he arrived, Ariel was training one of his students to play the cello.

Niels notices how Ariel trains, and is stunned when her finger takes over playing the instrument her student holds to set an example.

"Come in, and close the door if you want to enter" Ariel said without looking.

"Eh-hh,, anu, me, ma-af, I'm going out" Niels stuttered.

'Ishh,, embarrassing. I look like an intruder, ' his heart breaks.

Ariel turned around and looked at the person who entered her training room without knocking on the door.

"Wait a minute" stop Ariel.

'Oh shit, am I going to be punished? Why after facing directly I became like this anyway, ' he lamented.

Niels closed his eyes and turned to face Ariel who was still staring at him.

"S-I don't b-intend to peek," Niels said nervously.

"Hahhh,," Ariel sighed softly.

"Are you playing the piano with that back?" ariel made Niels hold his head up.

"B-b-how do you know s-I'm playing the piano?" niels asked with a look of disbelief.

"Come here, and tell me what you want to say," Ariel's pinta didn't answer Niels' question.

'Ukh,,, what if I get punished?' his inner.

"If you ask him in such a way, he'll be scared" Ken chuckled softly.

"I'm not even biting, what scares her?" greet Ariel.

"Sister Ariel didn't even notice it," Ken chuckled as he patted his forehead.

'The brand looks so familiar, I can't even be that familiar to coach Gerry, ' Niels' inner self.

"So, do you want to keep quiet or do you want to talk?" ariel said again to disperse the daydream of Niels.

"That's, me, me, um, I want to ask you for help, coach," Niels said.

"You mean, train you?" guess Ariel.

"Right," Niels replied raising his face, wanting to show his sincerity. But back down when meeting Ariel's eyes

"Well, on one condition," Ariel replied without thinking.

"Ehh, are you serious, coach?" Niels immediately raised his face.

Ariel folded her hands and looked at Niels.

"What's the condition?" ask Niels.

"Don't use that to me!" Ariel Strictly.

"Ehh, But_,,,"

"Only that's the condition, whether it's willing or not it's up to you" Ariel said.

"But if I call coach Ariel, not by that name, what should I call?" asked Niels bangtung.

"As it seems," Ariel replied, moving her head to Ken.

"What?" Niels is shocked by Ariel's orders.

"That's a request, not an order. And one more thing, I don't accept your formal attitude towards me" Ariel said.

"That's, is it not excessive?" asked Niels nervously.

Ariel manages her shoulder and turns around to cover Niels, approaching the phone she placed on top of her bag.

'Why so many missed calls? And the message came in?' inner Ariel.

Ariel opens one of the messages and it's from Joel,

[@Joel "I'm sorry, Ariel."]
