I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
59. The Unsurprising Beginning

"Buck,,,!!!" hiss Bram patted his forehead.

"It turns out I was the one who grabbed the woman's umbrella. How sakarang?" murmured Bram felt guilty.

Bram was wondering if he should go back to the coffee shop or look for it later. But, he continued to feel guilty if he delayed it and intended to return to the coffee shop right then and there.

Before Bram carried out his intention, from a distance he saw the woman running with her friend with an umbrella towards the same art gallery as him.

"So, he came here too?" murmured Bram slowly.

Carefully, Bram approaches Ariel and Jesica, intending to apologize for their mistake when they are under the auspices of the gallery building.

"Before entering, I treat your wounds first" said Jesica.

Jesica's words heard by Bram made him stop his steps, a little jolted with what Jesica had just said.

"I'm fine," Ariel replied rubbing her slightly wet body.

"What's okay? Your face is red as if someone just slapped you" Jesica said. "And you still had time to protect me from the rain and you're the wettest now" he added.

"Oh, come on, it will dry on its own" said Ariel.

"And a fever after?" jesica folded her hands.

"I don't accept excuses, now you're coming with me. Let's treat your wounds first, and change your clothes. Just now we come in," said Jesica with a tone can not be denied.

"But, the show is about to start, Jessi," Ariel pleaded.

"Don't forget who I am, I make sure you won't miss the show" Jesica promised.

Ariel sighed softly and then nodded. Choose to obey the words of Jesica.

While Bram is still stuck in his place without Ariel or Jesica realizing.

'Was she hurt when I grabbed her umbrella? God, did I take her umbrella and hurt her? Stupid fool!!' rutuk Bram in the heart.

As Jesica said before, the art gallery somehow stayed down for a few minutes until Ariel returned after treating her wounds and changing her clothes with the clothes that Jesica had prepared.

The opening ceremony of the art gallery opened ten minutes after Ariel and Jesica returned. That of course makes Ariel wonder how can the event attended by important people can be late.

Bram, who was looking back at Ariel, slowly approached the two of them, standing not far from them until it was enough for him to hear what they were talking about.

"Did you do it, Jessi?" ariel asked, his voice.

" What?" welcome Jesica to raise her eyebrows.

"Such an important event is impossible to buy time, but they delay the opening for a few minutes, not even open when we return. Shouldn't we be about ten minutes late?" ariel.

"Didn't that make you happy?" jesica replied asking.

"You know? Sometimes it sucks when a question is answered with a question" Ariel sneered.

"What the hell is this face," Jesica greeted with a laugh as she pulled Ariel's nose.

"Aahh, let go,!" peekik Ariel brushed off Jesica's hand.

"Don't I tell you you won't be late?" jesica smiled amusedly at the sight of Ariel rubbing her nose which she had just pulled.

"But how?" ariel was not satisfied.

"You don't forget who the biggest investor of this event is, right? Dannn, who is the owner of this building" said Jesica casually raising one hand with her palm facing up.

"Geez, I wish I'd forgotten about it" Ariel replied with a plain face while covering her mouth with one hand.

"Your world I won't be able to enter" he added, shaking his head.

"Ah, forget about that, let's go in!" said Jesica while holding Ariel's hand.

The art exhibition finally opened. The two of them immediately entered the building filled with paintings and other works of art.

"The auction will start in an hour" Jesica said.

"That's the only thing you're looking forward to, isn't it?" ask Jesica.

"Uhm," Ariel simply nodded in response.

However, his gaze could not be separated from the painting in front of him. Admire the art created.

Without them both realizing, Bram continued to be near them by pretending to enjoy every painting he passed. Thinking of ways to apologize to the woman he accidentally hurt. However, his movements were restrained as Jesica continued to speak to Ariel.

"Are you sure your face is okay?" ask Jesica worriedly.

"Well, I'm fine at least. But_,," Ariel hung up the sentence.

"What?" jesica asked impatiently.

"That man carries my umbrella," Ariel replied lethargicly.

"umbrella?" Jesica frowned.

"Is that the only thing you're worried about?" asked Jesica a little annoyed.

"Tell me! did he hurt you too?" he added.

"Not the umbrella, but the piano hanger I put on the umbrella" Ariel said.

"And my face was hurt by hitting a glass door, not by someone" Ariel said.

"You know that too, right? The hangers were hard to get because of the carvings" Ariel replied.

"I'll find it again for you, okay? So forget about that one," Jesica said.

"Hey, the auction is about to start. Let's go there," said Jesica immediately pulled Ariel to follow him.

Bram follows them from behind by keeping his distance.

When they were in the auction room, they sat quietly, waiting for their respective target items.

Bram who was originally after a Van Gogh painting let the opportunity to bid pass by. He was actually more interested in what Ariel wanted at the auction, because since the first item came out, Ariel did not lift the bidding board.

But when the next item came out, a white acoustic guitar that he did not understand. Bram became even more surprised because the initial price of the offer for the guitar was quite high. Which starts with the initial price of $500 thousand dollars.

Competition increases as Ariel bids mindlessly at twice as much price.

"$1.2 million,"

A man does not want to lose and increase his price.

"$1.5 million"

Bram gawks as Ariel again raises the bid price and continues to compete with the fat man who is seen eyeing the guitar as well.

"$2 million" Ariel again bids

To be honest Bram could easily get the guitar, the price did not even reach half the price of the painting he was looking for, but in his heart he wondered why women like Ariel wanted a guitar.

"$2.7 million" bargain fat man.

When the fat man seemed to have managed to get a guitar with Ariel silent at the last price, the fat man smiled with satisfaction, while Ariel only shook her head at the friend beside her with a lethargic face.

"I can bid the price for you" Jesica said as he was about to raise his hand but was prevented.

"No, I don't want you to do that, forget it" Ariel said slowly.

Somehow, Bram felt unable to stay still when he saw Ariel with a lethargic face, as if he did not realize what he was doing, Bram immediately bid the guitar before the countdown ended.

"$5million"

The offer called Bram silenced the fat man instantly. Even Ariel was shocked and immediately turned to see who had bid at that price.

The look on Ariel's face turned irritated as her eyes met Bram who was smiling towards her. Quickly, Ariel turned her face away.

"Haha, at least not the fat guy who got it," said Jesica satisfied.

"Let's get out" Ariel asked.

Ariel walked out of the auction room as soon as the show was over. However, just as Ariel was about to leave with Jesica, someone held her hand.

"Wait,!" he held Ariel's hand.

Ariel turned her head and returned to meet Bram who was now holding his hand.

"Yes?" Ariel raised her eyebrows. "Do you need anything, sir?" asked Ariel flatly.

"But, before please let go of my hand," Ariel's pinta glanced at Bram's hand that was clutching her hand.

"Ah, sorry," exclaimed Bram immediately releasing Ariel's hand.

"I just want to apologize to you" said Bram.

"Sorry?" ariel frowned.

"You know him?" sela Jesica's.

"No," replied Ariel flatly.

"Sorry sir, you seem to have misunderstood someone. Excuse me," said Ariel as she turned away while scolding Jesica.

"Hey, wait!" prevent Bram.

Bram was intent on chasing, but someone from the auction first called him for the pick up of the items he had bought.

'He was obviously angry, because I was wrong. If it was me, maybe I would have behaved even worse, but he could still speak politely to me.

Bram was more damned himself when he saw Ariel's face up close, he saw her slightly reddened face. Although it was covered with makeup, it was still visible while looking at her up close.

Bram ruffled his hair, feeling annoyed at himself. He tries to distract her, but always fails.

When Bram finishes the payment, he stares confusedly with the guitar in his hand. He can't even play guitar.

"Now what should I do with this guitar? I don't even know anything about guitars. You idiot!" grumbling Bram slowly.

Bram immediately came out of the art gallery with a guitar in his hand, which he himself did not know what he was going to do with the guitar. But when he was about to go to the place where he parked his car, he again saw Ariel.

Ariel, who was not with a friend who had seen Bram, was enjoying a musical performance performed by three men with accordion, guitar and Saxophone.

Some people also watched and put some coins in a box near them. However, after quite some time, the people watching their show did not add up.

Moments later, Ariel is seen approaching one of the men, and in Bram's vision, he takes over the guitar from the man's hand after saying something.

Bram widened his eyes and looked in wonder at Ariel, thinking that Ariel just wanted to learn how to play the guitar. It made Bram curious and slowly approached them.
