The expression of the man they knew as the one who petrified them at every concert surprised them.
Kevin looked at the man as if he had misheard what the man had just said.
"How long does it take?" martin asked, trying to be calm.
"It could take an hour after your scheduled performance" he said.
"How did this happen?" ask Thomas.
"I don't know, but they say there was a strange virus attacking the computer, shortly after that all the sound system became strange" he explained.
The atmosphere turned tense, expecting the audience's understanding was not the best answer for now. But, if you want to perform without music, only Rory is the most reliable for the time. Only he can play a musical instrument.
"Something seems to want to challenge you, Vani," said Nayla with a faint smile.
Vania smiled, immediately catching what Nayla meant.
"Then, what else should we wait for?" welcome Vania.
Nayla and Vania get up from their seats, approach the man and ask him to drive them to the computer room mentioned earlier.
"Wait!" prevent Kevin.
"I'm not gonna do anything dangerous, Kevin. And if you still don't believe me, come along" Nayla said as if she understood what Kevin was thinking.
Nayla continues in her footsteps, following the man along with Vania. Inevitably the seven of them (Kevin, Martin, Thomas, Ethan, Nathan, Adrian and Sean) can only follow Nayla and Vania from behind.
"Are you aware you've been acting strange today, Nayrela?" vania whispers breaking the silence during the journey.
"Come on," welcome Nayla to raise her shoulders.
"It looks like I subconsciously expressed my annoyance at Sean because Kevin and Roy were too protective of me" he added.
"And I have to apologize to Sean later" he added.
"Your life seems to be getting heavier" Vania commented.
"If you have to be honest, it does upset me, but also happy at the same time" said Nayla.
"Well, that looks very clear" said Vania.
"But still, you're still amazing as always, being able to calmly address what's in front of you when your heart branches out" he added.
"And I'm still not as good as you are when it comes to hacking" Nayla said.
"That's my natural talent" he said proudly. "And my passion is there, so don't mess with it" said Vania.
"I won't dare" replied Nayla with a horrified face.
Vania laughed, and immediately embraced Nayla's shoulder. Nayla's mood was better than before.
"It seems that Nayla's mood has improved" whispered Ethan who saw Nayla from behind.
"I can't comment if he's angry" Nathan said.
"Not even me" continued Martin.
"He always finds the right words for answers and can silence the other person appropriately" Kevin said.
"And the victim this time was Sean," Thomas chuckled softly.
"S-I really didn't do it, sir. I also told the barista about the coffee dose, but I was guilty of not making sure first" Sean said.
"Stranquilize,! No one's blaming you here" welcome Kevin.
"I just hope you don't take offense to his attitude" he added.
"No sir, I'm not offended in the least" Sean replied.
Those in the computer room are shocked by the arrival of Vania and Nayla. Even more surprised because Kevin and his team came.
After briefly explaining the intent of their arrival, the crew in the room allowed Vania to use one computer.
"As you may have guessed, Nayrela. There's a rat intruder coming in. Even if later repaired, he will attack again by damaging it again" said Vania.
Vania spoke without lowering her finger speed. A lot of the writing on the computer that Nayla and the others couldn't understand.
Red writing that continues to move, balanced with blue writing that also moves. As if urging the red color to come out.
"I can handle this, it's just that I can't help about the audience that has been waiting for. They will certainly be disappointed if the show is postponed even if it is due to a system error, because they have spent money on their entrance ticket" explained Vania.
Nayla pulls out her phone, intending to contact Rory, but immediately disengages her intentions.
"Is there a guitar here?" ask Nayla suddenly.
"We did provide guitars, it was just acoustic guitars" replied one of the crew.
"We use that alone, consider it for the opening of your concert, as well as to buy time until Roy arrives" said Nayla.
"But who will play it? The four of us suck at playing guitar" Nathan said.
"Am I also in the lame category, Nathan?" nayla replied asking.
Nathan's eyes widened, as if he had just realized where Nayla was going.
"Wait a minute!" prevent Kevin.
"You can't do that, Nay," Kevin continued.
"Do you have any better advice?" welcome Nayla.
"Indeed no better, it's just that you don't look okay, and I'm worried" Kevin explained.
"I'm fine, and let's get this over with quickly" Nayla asked.
Vania moved what was needed onto her phone. Feeling that everything was done and he would be watching on his phone, he followed Nayla and the others backstage.
Things turned around when Nayla took over. When their performance time is only in a countdown, the host can distract the audience very well after knowing the atmosphere.
Under the pretext of giving a surprise, the host said he would feature a solo game that only uses the guitar as his accompaniment music.
Hiding the truth, the audience greeted him enthusiastically, feeling no objection to waiting for their idol to delay his performance.
"Nayla only had time to change her clothes and wear thin makeup because of the very limited time, hopefully no one commented about it" murmured Martin anxiously.
Martin stared at Nayla's back as she prepared to step off the stage with her guitar in hand. Feeling that back is always the savior of their career.
"Just trust him, it's more than enough for him" chirped Vania who accidentally heard Martin mutter.
Martin turned to Vania who looked busy with his phone in his hand, then smiled faintly, as if he confirmed what Vania had just said.
"Can I borrow your tablet?" vania looked at Martin.
"Sure" replied Martin. 'But for what?" he was trying to put the tablet on Vania.
"Shut up, and just look. This is a show," Vania replied smiling mysteriously with a wink in her eyes.
For the umpteenth time, Martin was stunned when he saw Vania who was so agile struggling using her tablet. I don't know what he touched and shifted, but the amount of writing there made Martin unable to follow his movements. It also happened to Kevin and the others, unable to compensate for the movement of Vania's fingers with their eyes.
Meanwhile, the entire audience cheered cheerfully as Nayla appeared on stage with the guitar she was carrying. Some people throw questions at each other about whether Nayla will actually sing by playing the guitar.
Nayla sits down with a microphone in front of her. Smile warmly to greet everyone.
"Perhaps, my ability is not as good as them, but I hope, no one goes to the hospital after this because your ears are suddenly losing function" continued Nayla.
Everyone laughed, then cheered to encourage.
Nayla closed her eyes for a few seconds, took a slow breath, then opened her eyes and smiled.
The guitar lines in her hand instantly silenced those who were originally cheering excitedly changed with astonished, amazed, and hypnotized faces just as Nayla began to recite songs they had never heard.
