THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
fall Again

***nayla apartment***

Nayla was pouring her glass of water and taking her to the study to rest her eyes. After putting the glass on her desk, Nayla sat down and put her hands between her eyes.

Leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes for a moment, Nayla sent Rose an email when she saw the clock had shown at 2pm.

After returning home from his meeting with Rory, he drowned finishing his unfinished manuscript and had just finished it.

"At least I sent it to Rose. Now I just need to sleep. My head hurts so much" complained Nayla as she stroked her temple.

When Nayla got up from her seat, her eyes blurred. He shakes his head hoping his eyes return to normal. But suddenly his legs weakened to make Nayla sit back.

His hands stretched out to grab his glass, thinking drinking would make him better. When his hand had reached the glass, his gaze blackened and his head fell on the table, dropping the glass that had just been raised to the floor.

"CITIZENS,,,!!!!"

The loud sound of the glass left silence along with Nayla who was motionless with her head on her desk and eyes closed.

Rose checked her phone a few minutes later after it went off and checked her computer to open the email after reading a message from Nayla to see her email.

"Hmmm, he's done it" Rose said.

"Solve what Rose?" asked Adrian who had adjusted himself to talk casually to Rose.

"New from him" Rose replied.

"Huhh,,?? isn't the deadline still one week?" adrian asked in shock.

"He never reached a deadline when it came to his work" Rose explained. "Wait a minute, I'll call him first" he added.

"Is there something going on?" ask Adrian wonder.

"I wish nothing had happened" Rose muttered with anxiety as Nayla refused to answer her call

"Come on, Nay,, pick up the phone!" please Rose.

"Maybe he's resting Rose, so he's not answering your call" Adrian comforted.

"He never ignored my phone when he just sent me the script" Rose replied, still trying to reach Nayla.

"No,, no, no, no, no, not again,,?" rosa muttered in panic and worry.

"Calm down Rose, doesn't she usually call you back when you find out you're calling her?" adrian asked still did not understand the attitude of Rose who looked very worried.

"I can't calm down at all if this is the case" Rose replied anxiously.

"We're there! you come with me! leave your job!" rose ordered as she took her bag and walked quickly away from the room.

Inevitably Adrian also followed Rose who walked in a hurry.

"What happened to Rose?" adrian asked in the car.

"You'll find out later" Rose replied briefly.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Rose immediately pulled out the spare key to Nayla's apartment and made a quick step towards Nayla's workspace.

'He has a spare key?and just walk in?is that not a problem?' adrian asked in his heart.

Adrian follows Rose into the room that is still open when Rose enters.Adrian's body sculpts when he sees Nayla in a state of unconsciousness at his work desk.

"Nay,, hey,,, Nay,,, wake up!" rose said anxiously while shaking Nayla's shoulder slowly.

Rose pulled Nayla's body up from the table and leaned on the chair. Nayla did not respond when Rose patted her cheek softly. A broken glass was right next to the table adding to the panic Rose felt.

"Adrian,,! help me get her to the hospital!" exclaiming Rose loudly made Adrian who had been standing there.

Adrian also woke up and quickly approached them.

"Let me carry it" said Adrian.

Rose nodded and let Adrian lift Nayla's body.

After grabbing Nayla's phone at her desk and locking the door, Rose rushed Nayla to the hospital.

'Yes god...He was very light, his face was very pale.What happened exactly?' adrian whispered while lifting Nayla's body.

They also arrived at the hospital. A few minutes later, Nayla was transferred to the hospital. A doctor came out of the room and Rose immediately stood up. Adrian stood beside Rose.

"He's okay, right?" ask Rose worriedly.

"Why is it so hard to ask him to eat right?" the doctor grumbled as he put his hand on his forehead.

"You know exactly how he is, right?" rose answered listlessly.

The doctor turned his head and looked at the worry on Rose's face.

"He's all right. He'll probably realize tomorrow. You can come tomorrow afternoon Rose, or after work. I'll take care of him here. My work hours are over soon" the doctor said gently as he patted Rose on the shoulder.

Adrian could only pay attention to the interaction of the two of them, though in his heart wondered.

"They know each other?' insinuatingly

"Yes, I hope," Rose replied softly. "Can I see it?" ask Rose.

"Sure, but only for a moment" replied the Doctor.

"Thank you Chris" Rose said.

The doctor called Chris nodded and left. Rose goes into Nayla's ward, followed by Adrian. Nayla was lying in bed with a pale face.It was very clear that she was tired.

"Haahh, Nay, why do you like to scare me so much?" sighed Rose slowly put her hand on Nayla's hand and squeezed gently.

Rose let out a long sigh, then looked at Adrian.

"There's something you should know about Adrian" Rose said. "This incident must have happened again. He's very bad at taking care of himself" Rose said.

"Somehow should I say this to you, but I really hope you can keep him in my place" Rose hoped.

Adrian looked at Rose with a confused look. Rose gestured to speak outside and saw Rose put Nayla's phone on the desk next to her bed, then stepped out.

Sitting in a chair in front of Nayla's nursery, Adrian looked at Rose with a questionable gaze.

"You said I was looking after her, didn't she have a sister?" adrian asked confusedly.

Rose shook her head and exhaled.

"What I really wanted to say at the time was, she was visiting her brother, rather, her sister's grave" Rose said.

Adrian widened his eyes in disbelief with what he heard.

"He has no one. Family, brothers, none of them he has. The reason he didn't use his real name in his work, the one office that asked him not to name him outside the office, all related to each other, because that's the condition that he asks from the office if he wants his work published by our company," said Rose.

"Isn't it about the name, it's the office that determines it?" adrian asked me nothing.

"That applies if he is the one applying to the office.But, our office is the one applying for it, and he is applying for a simple condition. Secretly identity. We made the mistake of mentioning her real name at the reception of the award, and she wasn't angry that she wasn't exposed" Rose said..

"She lost her brother, the only family she had when she was 7. I learned this fact from a library gatherer who told me about it. Nayla never told anyone about her past, and I understand why. It also made me act like I didn't know anything. But I also know he's aware of it" Rose said.

Adrian was silent to know the truth he heard, behind his friendly figure, sometimes cold, and always smiling, there was a wound behind it.

"To be honest, if I could, I don't want to move. Even my husband felt hard to move. Everything he has done for me and my husband is innumerable.We can only retaliate by looking after him, giving him the love of a family even though it is not much.My only hope now is that you can take care of him. Call me anytime if there's anything on her," Rose hoped sincerely.

"Surely Rose!" replied Adrian.

"Now it hasn't been, but I will try to better understand all the challenges." replied Adrian surely.

"If I may ask Rose, what happened to her sister?" ask Adrian.

Rose was silent.It was hard to tell Adrian everything.

"Not now" said Rose shakes her head, but enough to make Adrian understand Rose.

"I'll go back to the office to finish everything. You can stay here longer and go home later" said Adrian softly.

Rose looked at Adrian doubtfully.

"It's okay, I can finish it. I know you're very worried about him. It would be better if you calm down when I can do the things I can do." comfort Adrian again and smile.

"Thank you Adrian" Rose said with a smile.

"There's no need to thank me for something like this" Adrian said.

"I go first Rose, call me if anything happens." ask Adrian again and then get up from his seat and leave Rose.

After Adrian's departure, Rose entered Nayla's ward and sat down beside her bed.

"You should be fine, Nay, and smile as usual. Told me to do everything you wanted as you normally do." Rose muttered softly as she looked at Nayla's hand.

"Every time you're like this, I'll never get tired of saying that to you" he continued.

Time passed quickly, saying hello along with the door that opened and Chris entered in his casual clothes.

"You haven't come home yet?" ask Chris.

"In a moment" Rose replied.

"You don't have to worry about Rose, her lack of intake is obvious, but I'm sure she's better than ever" Chris comforted.

"I'm so hopeful" Rose replied.

"Go home, I'll take care of him, I'm not coming home tonight" Chris said.

Rose nodded and smiled thanking Chris. After a few minutes, Rose left Nayla and went home.

Chris sat beside Nayla's bed, looking at Nayla's face with a sad and proud look.

"Nick, do you know? your sister, our sister is now a very strong and very beautiful woman, you must be proud of her, just as I am proud of her" Chris murmured.

Chris leaned his body and folded his hands.Either since when, Chris' eyes closed
