THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
103. Bonus chapter. Before the wedding 2.

Nayla placed a palm on her forehead accompanied by a long breath.

"Why are you now making my work space a relaxing place?" nayla Protest.

"Because this is the most comfortable place ever" Ethan chirped as he stretched his body sitting on a beanbag.

"Royy,,,!" nayla protests give a face to Rory.

"What's? Don't put on a face like that! I also agree with him," replied Rory with a wide grin.

Rory starts strumming the guitar in her hand, smiles gently as she looks at Nayla, and starts to crochet a song that is a combination of her and Nayla's creation. The song they made together and have perfected.

Nayla approached Rory with a smile on her face, and dropped down behind her, leaning against Rory's back. Started to sing her part of the song.

They sing in turn, there are times when they sing together. Songs sung only by using the guitar do not lower the warm impression of the song.

After they finished the song, Martin walked up to the two of them, giving a proud look at the two.

"One thing is less than your song" said Martin.

"What?" asked Rory with a frown.

"Title" replied Martin and Nayla.

Simultaneously, Martin and Nayla said the same thing, they looked at each other for a moment and laughed.

"We just wrote a new song without a title because it was very complicated, but we couldn't keep putting it off. We have to think about it before you're going to be even busier in preparation for your wedding" Martin said.

What Martin said was undeniable, in the long silence, those who were there thought about it.

"If Rory's song is Wish I Saw You and Nayla's song is Remember Of You, how do you combine the title of both songs? If combined directly, isn't that too long for a song title?" ethan still reads books.

Nayla looked pensive, as did Rory. Repeating each song's lyrics in their minds, they simultaneously raised their faces to look at Martin. As if they had made a deal, Rory and Nayla simultaneously opened their voices.

"LOVE OF MY LIFE,"

Nayla immediately turned to Rory who was doing the same thing. Unable to hide their shocked faces, the next second they both laughed.

"It looks like we're thinking the same," greeted Rory.

Nayla simply nodded in response agreeing with Rory's opinion.

"Ck Ck,, you guys, I can't comment anything" Martin smiled amusedly.

"But I agree with the title. Does anyone mind this?" martin asked his eyes.

They just shrugged their shoulders, as a sign of no objection at all. Until the sound of the door being opened made them immediately set their eyes towards the door.

Adrian came in with a phone attached to his ear, stepped closer to Nayla.

"He'll be here for a while, so you can meet him in person" Adrian said suddenly after his phone call ended.

"Him?" nayla frowned, staring confusedly.

"Who?" ask Nayla.

"You forgot? Today you agreed to meet the man I recruited, and he's willing to come here to meet you" Adrian replied, inserting his cell phone into his pants pocket.

"It looks like I forgot that part," Nayla greeted with an awkward smile.

"That's a natural thing, you have a lot of work these days" Adrian replied.

"What does it mean to recruit someone? What's for?" sela Rory's.

"I need one more person to help Adrian," jwab Nayla.

"Why?" ask Rory again.

"Some of the work became more and Adrian struggled to cope. While I am also busy with my own work" explained Nayla.

"I see," a moment's pause before Rory again said.

"I can help find someone for you" Rory said.

"If you're ready for heartache, just do it" Adrian said.

"Haa, what does that mean now?" rory asked confusedly.

"It's not easy to find the person he'll accept. I'm just looking, but Nayla is still being informed of the decision whether to accept it or not" explained Adrian.

"You just need to find what he wants according to his character" replied Rory.

"It would be better if you saw him later" replied Adrian.

The sound of the doorbell rang out right after Adrian finished his sentence. He immediately went out to open the door, shortly after, Adrian reappeared. Asking Nayla out to meet a young man waiting.

"You better stay here, because I said it's just me and Nayla" Adrian said.

"That's not it," Adrian continued before Rory let out his voice.

"He will feel uncomfortable if you are in front of him" continued Adrian.

"I won't be long, just meet him and talk to him for a while, then ask him to leave, okay?" consol Nayla patted Rory's cheek gently.

Nayla goes to meet the person who has been waiting for her, leaving Rory and the others in her study. However, they still try to steal what Nayla is talking about and see who the person who will recruit Nayla.

"Why should men?" grouse Rory.

"And he's handsome," seduced Thomas.

"It looks like Nayla likes him, look at him! smile like that" Ethan's fishing rod.

"Whisper,,!" rory Sungut.

"Looks like he's gonna be your rival" Kevin said.

"Why are you following along now?" grouse Rory.

"Heee,,, why? It's only natural for a sister to tease her sister, isn't it?" kevin defended himself.

"Now I feel amused to hear it," said Rory grimacing.

"Don't ever say that strangling thing to me again" continued Rory scoffed.

"Sstt, quiet!" scold Nathan.

They shut up obediently, looking back at Nayla who was saying something they could not hear. Shortly after, the young man stood up, then extended his hand to Nayla who greeted him with a warm smile.

Nayla returns to the workspace followed by Adrian, and finds Rory and the others peeking at her, but chooses not to say anything.

"So, how's it?" adrian asked after Nayla was in the study.

"No" answered Nayla, shaking her head.

"Hey, seriously? This is the eighth person, Nay?" gerutu Adrian's.

"I know, but I can't take it" said Nayla.

"Why? Are you worried that he (pointing Rory) will be jealous because you accept men?" ask Adrian.

"You don't take it, Nay?" sela Rory's.

"Why?" ask Rory.

"He'll just overload, Adrian. If I accept it, Adrian's job will be more than ever" Nayla said.

"Where do you know that?" ask Adrian.

"I can tell a person's character just by looking at and talking to them, Adrian. Just like you, Rose also complained while looking for people to replace her. And you're the ninth person Rose has chosen" Nayla said.

"Eehh, me?" adrian pointed to himself with a surprised face.

"Yes, Rose gave me your data. With just that, I'm sure you can work for me, I'm more confident that the first time you came here and chatted with you for a while" explained Nayla.

"Hahh,,, all right," said Adrian.

"I'll look again" added Adrian.

"Actually I have chosen one person, only I am waiting for news from him because he has a problem that must be resolved" Nayla said.

"If you've got it, why didn't you say it?" gerutu Adrian's.

"He himself asked for time, after offering himself to me. He said that if the problem is over and I haven't found anyone else, then he'll come in" Nayla explained.

"Who? Can I see the data?" ask Adrian.

"Vania" answered Nayla.

"WHAT,,???!" everyone let out a surprised voice.

"Why him?" rory protest doesn't like it.

"Because he really understands what I want" Nayla replied calmly

"Why should he? We already have people who have sarcastic voices. Why should it be added?" chirp Ethan.

"The burger shop lady is a little bit of a bitch" Nathan chimps.

"He even insulted you" Thomas continued.

"Don't forget that he also helped solve our problems" Nayla comforted.

"But why should he? Can't you find another one? I'll find someone who fits any criteria you like, I'll find him and it doesn't matter if he asks for a high fee" Rory said, still disagreeing with Nayla's decision.

"I'll answer it by showing it directly, so give him time and you can see for yourself" Nayla replied.

"Why did he offer to work for you? Isn't he rich?" ethan's lips.

"Well, he just wants to do everything he likes. And all this time, he really wanted to work for me" said Nayla.

"Okay, I'll let it go. But, I won't be disinclined if he makes things difficult for you" Rory snorted.

They finally stopped their debate, and resumed the rest of the day by relaxing. Adrian who had to go home before dark was escorted by Martin back to the office, because his car was still there.

During Martin's departure, they ordered food and drinks to be enjoyed together. As if it had become a routine activity, they did not hesitate to sit on the floor of the fur carpet.

Enjoy the food without the burden pressing on them.

"Have you thought about moving on, Nay?" tanya Thomas opened the conversation.

"Why?" nayla replied asking.

"Well," Thomas managed his shoulder. "Your work space is full, so is the next room, and one empty room that you don't touch because it means something to you,"

There was a pause just before Thomas went on.

"I mean, after you're married, echm," Thomas cleared his throat as he glanced at Rory with an ignorant smile.

"Ah, I understand. I'm also curious about the answer" says Ethan.

"Why are you guys so noisy? I've been thinking about it for a long time" said Rory.

"Are you planning to kick me out?" asked Rory narrowed her eyes.

"Where is it possible" Thomas argued, then laughed.

"I just wish Nayla would stay with us. The building still has a large room on the top floor. And if that's not enough, we can renovate the building" he continued.

Nayla was pensive, digesting back what Thomas had told her. He is no longer alone, after marriage of course the possibility of moving must remain, adapting to a new place, he will face all that.

That means he also has to let go of everything, he can no longer be selfish to stay in his own apartment.

Rory placed her palm on Nayla's head as if understanding her heart's unrest. Smiled gently at him as if saying everything would be fine.

"Don't think, wherever you want to stay, then that's where we are. You can be selfish only to me, and I'll take it with pleasure" Rory said.

"But_,,,"

"I don't mind whatever your decision is, so don't think about it too much" Rory said.

"Look at this, who's becoming so mature now," teased Kevin.

"Whisper,,!" sumpul Rory lowered his hand.

They laughed again, enjoying the reaction of Rory who had always been their easy target to colonize.

"We'll be back, it's late" Rory said after seeing the clock on his wrist.

Nayla nodded slowly, letting them clean up the mess they made before heading home.

When they were at the door with Nayla driving them, Rory turned to look at Nayla.

"Rest early, tomorrow we have to choose wedding clothes. I'll pick you up" said Rory.

"I know, that goes for you, doesn't it?" reply Nayla.

"I guess,,,"

"What?" ask Nayla curiously.

"I'll call you before I go to sleep" he replied softly.

Rory put her palm back on Nayla's head.

"I told you, don't think about it!" reproof Rory.

"Your face is too clearly showing your awkwardness" he added.

"Remember that I won't force you to do anything, you can do anything. And if it's causing trouble, I'll solve it" Rory said.

Rory gently kissed Nayla's forehead. Closer his lips to his ear while whispering.

"Fais de beaux reves, Ma Cherie," whispered Rory.[Have a good dream, baby,]"

Nayla smiled, feeling the anxiety of her heart lift just like that. He realized, Rory also loved him just as much as he loved Rory with all his heart.
