I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
84. What bram is hiding

"Have you forgotten something, Ken_,,, Eh,,,, Bram,,,??"

Ariel is shocked by Bram's sudden arrival. More surprised when he saw the face of Bram lebab and had a torn wound on the corner of his lips. The same wound Joel got. The difference is Joel's wounds are deeper than Bram's.

"What happened to you?" ask Ariel.

"Me,,,,"

"Come in first," said Ariel let Bram in.

"Thank you" said Bram lethargic.

"Did the boy you trained come visit this morning?" bram asked when he saw the coffee cup on the table.

"Ah, that, right, he came and just got home. He asked for a training schedule outside his usual schedule" Ariel explained as she cleaned a cup.

"Do you want a drink too, Bram?" tawar Ariel's.

"White water is cold" replied Bram.

Ariel looked at Bram for a moment to find out what was really going on, but immediately turned around to get a glass and poured the water he took out of the refrigerator.

"You look pale, Ariel. Are you sick?" ask Bram worriedly.

"Just a mild flu for now" replied Ariel.

"For now?" repeat Bram frowned.

"I had a fever, and it's not anymore" replied Ariel.

"Did that doctor know about your pain?" grunts Bram.

"It was precisely he who took care of me, Bram," said Ariel.

"You mean, he's staying here?" tanya Bram widened her eyes.

"For one reason, yes, he stayed over. And completely just take care of me until my fever goes down" explained Ariel.

"Then, the wound on your hand?" ask Bram again.

"Why did you come and interrogate me?" welcome Ariel narrowing her eyes.

"Here," said Ariel to offer a glass of water that immediately greeted Bram and gulp it down.

"What's wrong with your face? Did you just fight?" ariel asked while sitting next to Bram.

"Let me see it" said Ariel, extending her hand to examine Bram's wound.

'NO,,,!!!'

Bram brushed off Ariel's hand before touching her face.

"No need! Let it go" said Bram, turning his face away.

Ariel's forehead creases swooped sharper. He immediately stood up to pick up the medicine box and sat down next to Bram.

His hand is stretched out again, but lands on Bram's boat and forces Bram to face him.

"Shut up, and don't move, okay!" Ariel Strictly. "You know me that I'm stubborn, don't you?" continued.

Ariel begins to clean the wound on Bram's face using a cotton swab that has been moistened antiseptic, holding Bram's face by placing his finger on Bram's chin.

"How does the story tell you you can get hurt like this?" ask Ariel.

Bram's eyes were only on Ariel's face, treating the wound on her face gently. Although not looking at each other, it cannot be denied that Bram's heart pounded with the distance between Ariel and himself.

'Arhh, I really need to be able to control myself not to kiss that lip. This distance really tormented me, ' Erang Bram in his heart.

Finished with a cotton swab, Ariel applied the medicine on Bram's wound carefully.

Bram's hand moved to grip, Ariel's wrist, before Ariel could digest with Bram's action, Bram's lips first landed on Ariel's lips.

"Well, it's done" said Ariel, keeping her face away from Bram.

Ariel's voice jolted him, and pulled him back to reality.

"Will you tell me, Bram?" ask Ariel.

"That,, that, I can't tell you now," Bram replied bowed, hiding his face that had been banting about Ariel.

"Well, I won't force you" Ariel said. "Then, what is it that you came in the morning_ah no, it's even almost noon" he said.

"Just want to make sure you're not really committing suicide" Bram said, chuckling softly to hide his heart's anxiety.

"Ha ha,, very funny," Ariel pursed her lips.

"Pft, ha ha ha, I'm just kidding" Bram said. "But I really want to make sure you're in shape, last I saw, you're not in good shape" he continued.

"Even he can make you have a fever" Bram snorted.

"I'm fine, and she takes care of me, too" Ariel replied.

"That means you've made up?" Bram raised his eyebrows.

"Take it that way" replied Ariel.

"Awhile," he added.

Ariel stood up again to put the medicine box into its original place, while Bram stared at Ariel's back with a sad look.

He immediately got out of his seat before Ariel returned, opened the door carefully and left without saying a word to Ariel.

"Tck,, he left without saying goodbye, what a very nice gesture, ish," Ariel said.

Ariel took a glass at the table that Bram had used and intended to wash it, but her hand stopped when she saw the watch lying between the legs of the table and the sofa.

"It belongs to Bram, you sloppy bastard, why drop it here" Ariel grumbled.

'BRRUUKK,,,!!'

Just as he opened the door, Ariel hit someone standing there. The loud thump he hit made him stagger back and almost fall as his sturdy hand caught Ariel faster.

"Woahh, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry? It's dangerous too, you know?" said it.

The familiar voice coming out from her made Ariel look up.

"Joel,," Ariel sighed in surprise.

Ariel straightened her legs and removed her grip from Joel.

"Where are you going? Don't think you can go anywhere in pain" Joel said.

"It's not so," Ariel argued.

"Have you crossed paths with Bram?" ask Ariel.

"He's coming?" Joel asked back.

"That means no? Hurry up when he leaves," grumbled Ariel.

"What's he doing here?" joel asked, then closed the door.

"I don't know either, he came up with a weird face, and just left without saying anything to me" Ariel said.

"By the way, what's the matter you came here for? Shouldn't you still be working?" ariel quickly changed the topic.

"Why? Of course make lunch for you," replied Joel stepping ahead of Ariel towards the counter table.

"Hey,, I'm fine now," Ariel replied back to the table where she left the glass Bram used, put the watch there and took the glass intending to wash it.

"I'm not sure you're going to eat right" said Joel, grinning.

"Hey, just leave it, I'll wash it later," prevented Joel from seeing Ariel washing the glass.

"Am I also not allowed to wash a glass even if it's only two?" welcome Ariel to ask.

"No! You have to rest a lot" said Joel, seizing the glass from Ariel's hand.

"You know? You're becoming more annoying now" grumbled Ariel.

Ariel moves from the front of the wastefel when Joel pulls Ariel towards her, locks Ariel's movements by putting one of her unharmed hands behind Ariel, then pushes her away until she gets stuck in the wastefel.

"really? I'm annoying? or are you the one who's been a difficult patient to manage here?" joel asked her to bring her face closer.

"Oh, and you're angry about that?" challenge Ariel to lean her head, returning Joel's gaze to her.

"You tortured me too often" Joel snorted.

Joel kissed Ariel's lips gently, making Ariel gasp. In the next instant, He closed his eyes, feeling the tenderness of Joel's attitude for him without any demands.

"Sit down, you can be here only if you're sitting down" Joel said after ending their kiss.

"Or what?" challenge Ariel again.

"Have a beating on me" snarled Joel pulling Ariel's nose.

"Aaahhh, "squeak Ariel and cover her nose.

"Yes, yes, "Ariel's whistle.

Ariel sat down, and propped up her chin. Not taking his eyes off Joel who was cutting vegetables.

"Did anyone ever tell you that you look sexy when you cook?" Ariel Goda.

'TAAKK,,,,!' the sound of a dropped knife rang out loud, making Joel stare at Ariel with anxiety.

"Ariellll,," joked Joel

Ariel laughed out loud, but was grateful that Joel did not come back to her, and chose to continue cooking.

"Can you let me focus?" keep Joel.

"Well, fine, I stopped bothering you" Ariel said with a laugh.

TAK TAK

The sound of a knife fills the silence between Joel and Ariel. Not long after, Ariel broke the silence again.

"Joel,," call Ariel.

"What's? If you just want to tease me, I'm really going to keep you quiet" Joel threatened.

"Ha ha ha, Hey, I'm serious now, I just want to ask" Ariel said.

"Alright, say!" answer Joel.

"Have you met Bram in the last two days?" ask Ariel.

"I mean, after the incident at your house at the time" he added.

"No, why are you asking?" joel replied asking.

"I was surprised to see him when he came here, his face was bruised, and had the same wound as you, torn at the corner of his lips,"

'DOLL,,!!'

Quickly, Joel raised his face and looked at Ariel, wanting to ascertain if it was a joke or not.

"I think you know something" he added.

'What's this? What kind of coincidence is this? There's no way he was a devoted person back then, right?' inner Joel.
