THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
Festival Peak

"UHUUKKK,,,!!!"

The sound of coughing due to choking sounded loud, some of the water he drank gushed out which was immediately laughed at by a friend who was beside him.

Two men were wearing hats and black masks covering their faces. They occasionally lowered their masks slightly as they gulped down the canned drink in their hands.

"You're sure Rory was angry just because of that?" ask the man who was choking while wiping his mouth and then raise the mask again.

The two men who are none other than Thomas and Ethan. They enjoyed the festival after having managed to get the same book, they stood leaning back in a place that was not so eye-catching. In front of where they were standing, there was a tent selling various kinds of food.

"I can't imagine a Rory getting angry just because there's a man holding her hand and intending to pay for the book she took?" ethan's birthday is punctuated by laughter.

"And more surprisingly she is a woman he has not known for a long time" he said

"What I'm worried about is, Rory pulled her hand, I couldn't even stop her. He seems to have trouble keeping up with Rory's pace. What happens next, we won't know." Thomas shrugged his shoulders.

"Surely, he'll act like he lost his favorite guitar after coming home" Ethan replied lightly.

Thomas was surprised to hear his answer.

"When we've just been able to rest for a while after our busy schedule, I'd really take a vacation if I went home and saw him act out." threatened Ethan, and took another drink.

"My gut feeling is that he's coming home with a big smile" Thomas said for sure.

"Impossible,," Ethan argued. "Among all of us, the only one who can really quell his anger is Kevin" he added.

"I don't think it's anymore, when I see him, he looks like he can temper his anger" Thomas replied.

"And as you say, are you sure he'll be so even after being treated RUDEly?" tanya Ethan emphasized the harsh word on her sentence.

"Yes, I don't know why I'm sure of it" replied Thomas raising his shoulders again.

"What the fuck,," said Ethan, his eyes widened behind Thomas's back.

"What do you see?" thomas asked astonishedly and reflexively turned around following Ethan's gaze.

"Woww.." Thomas muttered with a small laugh.

"I think you can be a clairvoyant who can predict what's going to happen in the next minute" Ethan chirped with a face of disbelief at what he saw.

There, the direction Thomas and Ethan saw. In front of a tent selling Tacos Rory and Nayla stood waiting for the queue to buy it.They were also seen approaching Poutine and Kroketten tents.

"Interesting,," muttered Ethan with a grin on his face.

Thomas shakes his head slowly realizing Ethan's ignorant voice.

"Don't start again." prevent Thomas from capturing Ethan's path of thought.

"Come on, wouldn't it be nice if we knew him? if we wait for him to introduce us, until when do we wait while you also know the woman does not even know us at all" Ethan reasoned.

"In addition, we never greeted him at the cafe at that time" Ethan said again.

Thomas ponders over Ethan's words and ransoms.

"Alright, only if you promise not to make things worse." - Thomas.

"Trust me, it'll be easy to get her to chat after knowing she likes books, we use that in case something bad happens" Ethan starts walking up to Rory.

Thomas eventually follows Ethan to Rory.

Rory, who doesn't know they're going to get to her, drowns in a conversation with Nayla.

"Try it, and tell me how it feels" Rory said, offering the food she had just bought.

"What is the name of this food?" asked Nayla to look carefully at the food in her hand.Tortila folded triangular shape and began to bite it.

"They call it Tacos.This is a typical Mexican food, tortilla bread filled with cheese and minced meat." explained Rory.

"Emmm.this is unique," Nayla commented after biting and chewing.

Rory smiled after lowering her mask and started to bite her food.

"Then what is this?" tanya Nayla pointed at the food in front of her.

They were sitting in a chair with a table in front of them and an umbrella on it that was at the far corner to avoid the crowds.

"Hemm, that's Poutine from Canada and Kroketten from the Netherlands. Processed with the basic ingredients of potatoes, but different processing methods even though the same is fried." explained Rory.

Nayla nodded her head understanding. Rory propped up her chin with her left hand, her eyes fixed on Nayla who was enjoying the food in her hand.

Nayla begins to try to feed Poutine her mouth, but her hand moves towards Rory's mouth.

"Open your mouth! don't just watch me eat while you're not going to eat anything" Nayla said, still not lowering her hand.

Rory laughs awkwardly, the tag rubs the back of his neck.His eyes look at Nayla who replied to him by raising her eyebrows.A little doubt, Rory opened her mouth to receive food proffered to her.

"Good Boy" said Nayla, laughing and bribing food for herself with the same spoon without her noticing.

A reddish hue crept on Rory's face, though,

'How can he be this relaxed?ahh.sial, why am I so pounding gini'germutu in the heart.

"But Roy, are you sure we can spend this?it looks a lot" Nayla said, looking at the food in front of her.

'Why did you buy this much?"ask Nayla.

"Because you said you haven't tasted this food, so I thought if I bought some different food you could taste all the food" Rory replied reasoned.

Rory's hand moved towards Kroketten and intended to eat him when a hand suddenly grabbed him by the shoulder.

"In that case, let us help to finish the meal" he said, then sat down and snatched Krokotten from Rory's hand, which he put into his mouth after lowering his mask.

"It's also that if you're not westernized" the other man who sat down flanking Rory and lowered his mask smiled kindly at Nayla.

"You guys..." Nayla turned her index finger upside down and looked at Thomas and Ethan alternately frowning slightly.

"It's nice to see you again,, ehmm Nay-la?didn't you?" said Thomas smiling.

"Ahh, right, you're Rory's friend, right?" ask Nayla kindly.

"Well, and just relax, we know you don't use Rory's name for him." Thomas's tease pokes his fist at Rory.

"And trust me, he talks more about you than anyone." Ethan said with his mouth full.

"Whisper, why are you here anyway." hadrik Rory.

"I hope it's a good thing." replied Nayla smilingly ignoring Rory.

"Nayy,," complained Rory with a clear face.

"We still love our faces, that's enough reason not to speak badly of you" Thomas replied.

"really?" nayla said with raised eyebrows.

"Highly, he will beat us up if we dare to say anything bad about you" Ethan replied after swallowing his food.

"Stop,,,! you talk too much.if you want food, take it and go." throw Rory out with a red face.

Suddenly they included Nayla laughing to see Rory's reaction.

"Why?Nayla doesn't even mind us here, does she?"ask Ethan.

"She's just too kind and can't say no to seeing your behavior like this" Rory replied.

"Calm Roy, I don't mind." Nayla smiled.

"Look.he just said nothing." replied Ethan.

"So tell me, Nay," said Thomas, pointing his panda at Nayla."Do you remember us?"ask Thomas.

"Hmmm..."Nayla put two fingers on her chin."I remember you're Thomas, but he's.."nayla's eyes turned to Ethan, who still continues to eat without caring about his surroundings.

"E e Ethan?"nayla raised her eyebrows.

Ethan smiled with satisfaction and nodded.

"Woww. Can you remember me?"ask Ethan.

"Can you remember it?"thomas asked with an incredulous face.

"How can you remember?"even Rory asked the same thing.

"Emmm.I remember you once said they were twins and it's a little hard to recognize them if you don't know them both very well but remember something clearly different,Their hair and eyes have different colors, and if I look again now, he looks more talkative when compared to the air, even if my estimates do not miss" said Nayla.

"UHHUKKK,,,,!!!"

Ethan chokes on the food he will swallow.Reflek Nayla thrusts his drink.With a quick, Ethan sips a drink given Nayla.Mata Ethan stares fixedly at Nayla.

"Did I say the wrong thing?"nayla asked in surprise to see the three people in front of her looking at her with shocked faces.

"You met Nathan once and met me here a second time and realized the slight difference?"ethan could not hide his surprise.

"Actually you didn't say anything wrong, that's exactly right.But.."Rory hung up her sentence.

"But?" nayla asked not to understand.

"Look,, Nathan and Ethan are identical twins, from habit, liking and behavior all pretty much the same. We even took a long time to be able to properly recognize and realize their differences.but you_,,," Thomas stared in amazement.

"That's it,,,." Nayla smiled.

"How did you realize it?" ask Rory curiously.

"I saw the two of you without a mask, just like now, and I just happened to remember the difference." replied Nayla.

"Continue?" ask Thomas not to believe it.

Nayla smiled up her shoulders.

Inevitably Thomas and Ethan smile back to cover up the awkwardness.

"What are you gonna do after this Nay?"thomas avoided silence.

"I have not decided.Is there anything you want to do after this?" reply Nayla asked.

"Actually, we didn't plan on being here for long, just wanting to buy a book and then go home" Thomas replied with a crisp laugh.

"Book..?" repeat Nayla.

"True, coincidentally me and Ethan liked the same book. That's the reason we're here, even though we were separated early on because Ethan had to take Nathan somewhere first" Thomas said.

"really?what book is that?" ask Nayla curiously.

"Work of Nyloes" replied Ethan. "Do you know that book?" tanyakanya.

Nayla was stunned to hear their statement, not expecting her to meet anyone who liked her book

"I know the book" replied Nayla.

"Did you read it too?" ask Thomas enthusiastically.

Nayla nodded slowly.

"Unfortunately not." answered Nayla.

Thomas lowered his shoulders, the enthusiasm that had flared up and down.

"You have to read it, it's really a good book.I even liked it right away just because I read one book I borrowed from Nathan." Ethan said."But unfortunately the book is already sold out." he added.

"So, you twins love books?"nayla Goda.

"Hahaha.can be said like that, we even recently really liked the book, in contrast to Thomas who was ever since we knew, he had already liked the book." replied Ethan.

"I don't mind lending it to you if you want, just if you like to read." Thomas continued.

"No need, thank you.I really appreciate it.But, I already have it." replied Nayla casually, Nayla,

"EEEHHHH,,,,"Thomas and Ethan exclaimed simultaneously.

"So you said you didn't read it, but you have the book?"ask Ethan in wonder.

"What's wrong with that?"ask Nayla.

"Why?"tanyaThomas's.

"Simple.I want to finish reading Conan Doyle's book first." answered Nayla.

"Interesting.Do you like mystery stories?"ask Thomas.

Nayla nodded in spirit.

"And you know what's more interesting??" rory's question suddenly made the three pairs of eyes set their sights on Rory, gazing in wonder.

"The party's over because Ethan's been eating the whole meal" said Rory, a little upset.

They laugh together again, while Ethan behaves as if he did nothing by putting on an innocent face.

"And I'll gladly finish the food you bought again." welcome Ethan with a big smile.

"Gosh,,,!" rory's growl covered her face with her hands.

"Good..Well, we'll go.." said Ethan, raising both hands.

"Hopefully we can talk more next time Nay" said Thomas began to stand up and fix his mask.

"It's good to know you Nay." - timpal Ethan blinked his eyes.

"See you Nay." said Thomas.

Not to forget Thomas dragged Ethan to get out of there.

Nayla laughed softly as they moved away.Rory let out a long sigh before saying to Nayla.

"I'm sorry, sometimes they behave like they are silly" said Rory.

"But you love them as much as they love you, don't you?"ask Nayla softly.

"Haahhh, I can't lie, it's true, I love them" said Rory sighed softly.

"They're fun, I don't mind Roy." said Nayla sincerely.

Rory looked into Nayla's eyes and smiled thankfully.

"Do you mind if we take the Biangala before we go home?"ask Rory.

"Not at all, I gladly accepted it." replied Nayla.

A wide smile formed on Rory's lips that extended her hand and greeted Nayla.They walked towards Biangala.

The night was getting late, the atmosphere of the festival was getting lively when it reached midnight, coinciding with those in the Biangala and reaching the middle of the height, the eruption of fireworks decorate the sky illuminate the darkness of the night.

Nayla is fascinated by the beauty of fireworks until she does not realize, Rory's eyes are fascinated by the beauty of the night decorated with fireworks explosion only when her eyes are fixed on Nayla.
