I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
46. Found her

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

Ariel let out a slow sigh and put her phone back on when she heard Niels' reply.

"Can you give me time to adjust to you?" please Niels.

"Because you're worried it's rude to me?" guess Ariel who answered the nod of Niels' head.

"Respect is not shown by the way you say someone's name based on their position,"

"However, from how you apply what you have learned from him," Ken chimed in Ariel's words until they said the same sentence simultaneously.

"You're very fond of imitating my words, Ken," said Ariel.

"Because of what Ariel's sister told me, I always remember. And of course I also apply it," greeted Ken with a big smile.

'It is fitting that he can last a long time when coach Ariel trains him, their relationship is very familiar, ' Inner Niels.

'But, I have to admit, when anger does make me miss, ' he added.

"I get it, I'm going to fit in with your coach- uh brother" Niels said.

"Then go back to your room. Gerry will be here any minute, you can see me again after your training schedule is over" Ariel suggested.

"Well, I'm saying goodbye" said Niels, bowing his body and closing the door after exiting.

"Gosh, my heart is up to a marathon like this" Niels murmured not yet from the front of the door, stroking his chest.

"They look very happy while training, and feel alive" he murmured again.

"And if it's not wrong, it's Ken who is always difficult to manage and always refuses to practice, right?"

Niels wondered in his heart, he got up from where he stood and walked towards his training room.

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

On the other side at the same time.

At the hospital, Joel becomes more reserved than ever. I don't know how many times he checked his phone. Hope to get the desired reply.

The same thing happened with Bram and Charlie.

Until, as if they had made an appointment before, they came to the place where Ariel trained music at the hour home and accidentally met there.

"What are you guys doing here?"

They asked the same thing when they faced each other.

"I want to see Ariel, of course" Charlie replied.

"That's what I want to do, that's why I'm here" Joel said.

"I also wanted to see him, instead of waiting for a reply from him. It'd be better if I met him in person" Bram said.

They looked at each other, then sighed softly.

"It's like this, we'll meet together" Charlie suggested.

"Not a bad idea" Bram welcomed.

"I agree" said Joel.

They saw some people coming out of the studio. Most of them are younger.

They headed straight for Ariel's training room after greeting the person standing guard in the lobby. However, after they stood in front of Ariel's training room, they just stared at the door.

Joel's hand stopped as he was about to knock on the door. Doubts whether Ariel will accept their presence or will drive them away.

"Let me, please" said Charlie.

Charlie took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Waiting for a while, no response.

Carefully, Charlie opens the door, intending to enter. However, his movements came to a halt as the door opened slightly and he heard the melodies of two different musical instruments.

"He hasn't finished training?" charlie asked to look at Joel and Bram.

The two of them that Charlie was staring at were just raising his shoulders. Without thinking any more, Charlie widens the door, and finds Ariel training two people with different musical instruments.

One of them is Ken. And another one is not recognized by Joel and Bram. The two of them did not even see her when they picked up Ariel at that time.

A soft melody flows from the piano being played, accompanied by a melody from Ken's Cello.

"What's keeping you out of focus, Niels? The tempo you're playing is too slow" Ariel commented to Niels.

'What's wrong with the piano? He plays the piano well, but Ariel criticizes him?' inner Charlie.

"M-I'm sorry," Niels replied stammered.

"No need to be so nervous. I understand if you're tired after your training with Gerry. You can rest for a while" said Ariel.

"Sister," call Ken.

"What?" Ariel looked at Ken who was pointing behind Ariel with his chin.

Ariel turned around and widened her eyes to find Charlie, Joel and Bram were there.

"What are you guys doing here?" ask Ariel.

"I want to tell you something, " replied Charlie.

"Is it related to yesterday?" guess Ariel.

"Yes," Bram replied.

"You didn't reply to any of the messages I sent. So the only thing I can do is just meet you here" Joel said.

"And you two think the same?" guess Ariel again.

They nod their heads in order to allow.

Ariel took a deep breath, then directed her gaze at Ken and Niels who stopped their training.

"We continue tomorrow" said Ariel.

Both Ken and Niels nodded without asking and immediately tidied up their musical instruments.

"I'm sorry, brother. Thank you for today" Niels bowed before leaving and smiled kindly at Ariel's friends.

"Sit,!" pinta Ariel after Niels closes the door.

The three of them sat down in the long chair without comment.

"Do I need to buy something for my sister's guests?" tawar Ken's.

Ariel glanced at her three friends at a glance, then looked back at Ken.

"Please get me some soda cans and a little snack" Ariel replied.

"Good, brother. Wait a minute," welcome ken to smile and leave.

They sat side by side, slightly lowered their heads and biting their lips. At first glance, they saw Ariel's bag lying not far from them sitting with a cell phone on it.

"All right, now tell me, what's the matter with you meeting me? What made it take for you to come here together?" ask Ariel.

"And please don't say I didn't answer your call and reply to the message as the reason" he added.

The three of them immediately looked up and looked at Ariel who folded her arms staring fixedly at them in turn.

"Before, I apologize for interrupting your time. I really don't know if you're still not free from your training hours" Charlie said.

"They asked me for an extra hour, and I couldn't turn them down" Ariel replied flatly. " then?" he continued raising both eyebrows.

"I-no, not just me, but we want to apologize to you" Charlie said.

"I'm sorry? For?" ariel asked, frowning.

"I shouldn't have let Jesica come" Charlie said.

Geck,,,

Geck,,,

Geck,,,

The sound of a knock on the door interrupts them and Ken emerges from behind the door with a few cans of drinks and snacks.

"Sister, sorry. This is all I can get, '" Ken regretted.

"Deesert's favorite sister is not left at all," he said.

Ken approached where Ariel sat and handed over what was in his hand.

"I'm not asking you to buy deesert, Ken. Thank you for helping me buy this" Ariel said.

"I was just thinking about buying sweet food for my sister because Ariel didn't sleep last night" Ken replied.

"What do you mean?" ariel asked, frowning.

"Sister's makeup faded," replied Ker with a big smile.

"Ken,,,"

"Yes, yes, sorry. I'm leaving," replied Ken chuckling softly and waltzing away just like that.

"Take this" said Ariel, offering Charlie a can of drink.

"T-thank you," welcome Charlie.

Ariel gave them each a drink and put the food on their side.

Calmly, Ariel opened her can of drink then gulped it down. Letting silence creep between them.

"What makes you think I'm mad at you?" ariel asked breaking the silence.
