Black Wings (Forbidden Love)
18. Studying Dance
The days passed still with the coldness of Ariel's demeanor, Angel feels uncomfortable if at home but if you do not see Ariel even though there is only a moment of longing that slowly enters into Angel's heart.
Angel still makes food for Ariel if she is cooking even though now the two of them never again eat together like that time.
It's a weekend and Angel is on a college break, she remembers yesterday before school, telling her that her birthday party will be a dance competition and the winner will get a special prize. And Mia's birthday party this time carries the theme of the mask, so all the guests present will wear a mask but if not wear it is not a problem.
Angel felt dizzy because he could not dance, and of course he did not want Michael to know because Angel would feel embarrassed.
Angel turned on the television she connected to her phone to play a dance tutorial video and she would follow it while watching the television.
Angel's movements are really very stiff, Angel hugs empty air as if he was hugging his dance partner but always failed because Angel often stomped his own feet.
"Akkhhh!!!" Angel ruffled her hair in frustration. Angel decided to take a drink of water but accidentally met with Ariel who was leaning in front of the door of her room looking at Angel.
Angel kept drinking water without any intention of greeting Ariel.
Angel returned to the living room to continue his training again because it was still morning so Angel still had plenty of time to train until later tonight.
Ariel walked to the living room and sat on the couch watching a video tutorial being played by Angel.
"You're practicing dance?" Ariel asked, looking at Angel.
"You can see for yourself." Angel Ketus replied, continuing to practice.
"Do you want to help me?"
"I'm not sure you can." Angel answered with disdain.
Ariel got up from her seat to approach Angel, then pulled one hand Angel very quickly until Angel's body hit the chest field Ariel.
"Deliver!" Screeches Angel.
"I'll teach you how to dance." Said Ariel softly.
In an instant Angel was stunned with Ariel's tenderness to make Angel unconsciously nod. Ariel guiding Angel's hand was placed on her arm while Angel's one hand was freely held by Ariel.
Ariel leads the dance by bending her right elbow under Angel's left armpit. Ariel tucked the right elbow under Angel's armpit to bring the position closer. Because Ariel will lead the dance, he placed his right hand gently on Angel's left shoulder blade so that Ariel can guide him without the impression of force.
"You follow my instructions, keep your feet moving according to my instructions. Youunderstand?"
Angel nodded. "Yes, I understand."
"Left, left, right."
"Ah sorry I stepped on your foot." Angel said with regret.
Ariel smiled wryly. "It's okay, let's move on."
"Left right right right rotating." Ariel again gave direction to Angel, although Angel's movement is still very rigid but at least Angel already understand where he should move.
"We try again." Said Ariel who had taught Angel almost two hours and Ariel's feet had been stepped on many times by Angel. "After that we rest first."
Angel nodded excitedly. "All right, one more time. After that I'll make lunch for us."
Ariel was stunned to see Angel's smile, he forgot when Angel last smiled at him. It seems that when their breakfast was a mess at that time, after that Angel also ignored Ariel never even smiled again to Ariel.
And Ariel misses Angel's sweet smile.
"Arielllll come on." This time it was Angel who extended her hand first to invite Ariel to dance.
"OK." Ariel receives Angel's hand, and they dance again.

Angel cooks while chattering, he looks like a phone that never runs out of power. Ariel sat in one of the chairs in the kitchen while occasionally responding to what Angel said.
Suddenly the atmosphere in the house came back alive and cheerful, an atmosphere that was missed by both Ariel and Angel.
"Try this?" Angel makes spagethi and tempura and he wants Ariel to taste the food.
"Aaaaakkkkk." Angel orders Ariel to open her eyes.
According to Ariel, he opened his mouth and Angel put one shrimp tempura into Ariel's mouth.
"How's it?" Ask Angel in curiosity.
"Sweaky and crunchy, delicious." Ariel replied without lying.
"Then this one?" Angel scoops spagethi and feeds her to Ariel.
Ariel chews mangosteen. "Feeling you never disappoints.
Angel was wide. " Let's eat. Help me bring all this Ariel."
They eat while talking, sometimes Ariel to laugh because of the expression of Angel's face is very adorable.
After lunch, Angel invites Ariel to go to the shopping center to buy a dress and mask for her to wear.
Ariel's eyes were fixed on the elegant plain black dress.
"What about this one?" Point Ariel at the black dress that stole her attention.
Angel who was choosing a dress immediately turned her head and saw the dress pointed by Ariel. "Good, I like it. I'll buy that one."
"No." Hold Ariel. "Let me buy it for you."
Ariel tells Angel to try it first. And it is true that the black dress looks very beautiful when worn by Angel.
"Pretty." One word from Ariel's lips that can melt Angel's heart.
Angel blushed embarrassed, she immediately let go of the black dress and then to the cashier with Ariel who had promised to buy the dress.
After they finished buying the dress, they went to the accessories store to buy the mask. There too Ariel was the one who chose the mask that Angel will wear for the party tonight.
"Let's go home?" Take Angel to Ariel.
Ariel grabbed some paper bags from Angel's hand. "You're sure there's nothing left for you to buy."
Angel thought for a moment and then she shook her head. "It seems like nothing. Anyway you should teach me again about dancing at home."
"All right, let's go home."
Angel put the paper bag into his backpack, fortunately the shopping is a little so fit if put in the backpack.
"Strong grip, I'll speed because the sky looks cloudy." Ariel pulled Angel's hand to hug her stomach.
Angel just smiled behind Ariel's back, earlier when leaving for the shopping center Angel did not want to hold with Ariel because it would cause his heart suddenly unhealthy.
Ariel did not talk nonsense about her speeding, the man actually drove his bike at high speed so that before the rain they had reached home.
Angel inhales the citrus fragrance from the body and the jacket Ariel wears. Angel liked this scent so much that she tightened her embrace in Ariel's stomach.
The light rain began to drench the earth, The smell of wet soil wafted in the air. People passing by seemed to speed up their movements before the rain grew heavy.
"Are you cold?!!!" Shouted Ariel in the midst of the drizzle that struck.
"No!!!" Angel answered by shouting. How can he feel cold if his heart just starts to warm up when he holds on to Ariel but instead of holding on actually for Angel he is hugging Ariel from behind.
Ckiiiitt
Angel and Ariel have arrived at Ariel's house immediately put the motor into the garage.
"Go get changed, your clothes are a little wet." Ariel's orders to Angel.
"Well I'll change my clothes soon but you'll teach me to dance again so that it gets smoother." Persuade Angel to Ariel who immediately makes Ariel follow Angel's will.
Cclek
Angel came out of the room and saw Ariel was composing Angel's mobile phone to reconnect with the television screen.
"This is a song....."
"Senorita." Connect Ariel. "Come here if you want me to teach you. "
"Of course with pleasure. "

"Am I beautiful?" Angel asked after leaving her room.
"You're always beautiful." Praise Ariel with a smile that makes Angel salto.
"I'll drive you."
Angel's smile and happy face slowly faded away. "I'll be picked up by Michael and he's my party mate, sorry Ariel."
Ariel's charming smile instantly disappeared now there is only a forced smile on Ariel's lips.
"It's okay."
Tin
Tin
"It looks like Michael's picked you up." Ariel said awkwardly.
Angel looked down for a moment to feel the atmosphere in the room that had turned back cold and Angel did not like it.
Angel raised her face staring intensely at Ariel. "I'm leaving now, and thank you for today."
Angel immediately turned around and stepped out of the house. Ariel saw Angel's departure with tightly clenched hands.
