THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
Closer

Adrian glanced at Nayla for the umpteenth time, an uncomfortable feeling clearly visible from his face.He first arrived at the office and did his usual duties when Rose was still there.

Nayla who that day did not talk much added awkwardness between them.Nayla looks focused on the computer in front of her but quite feel the discomfort felt Adrian.After a long sigh, he also said to Adrian.

"Adrian, can I ask you to get me my seat on Lucie's desk?if he hasn't finished it, help me for a minute" Nayla told Adrian.

"Well." replied Adrian immediately moved from his place.

After Adrian closed the door, Nayla woke up from her seat to stretch her body and walk towards the window.See the hustle of the city and the busy people inside.

Meanwhile, Lucie is seen tangent when Adrian approaches her.

"Haa..???What deposit?"ask Lucie bangtung.

"Miss Nayla wants to ask for what was left to you" Adrian said.

"Nothing was left to me." replied Lucie with a clearly visible obstruction.

"Then why did Miss Nayla ask me to take it from you if there wasn't?"adrian asked not to understand.

"Hmmm...."Lucie put two fingers on her chin."Try to repeat what he told you."ask Lucie.

Adrian cleared his throat for a moment before repeating what Nayla had told him.

"Please get me my seat on Lucie's desk, if she hasn't finished it yet, help me a second."Adrian replies by mimicking the way Nayla speaks.

Lucie chuckles, begins to understand the purpose of Nayla asking Adrian out of her room and directs her.Because besides Rose, only Lucie who really understands how Nayla.

"Are you uncomfortable in that one room with him without Rose among you?"lucie asked right on target staring fixedly into Adrian's eyes.

"I'm..."Adrian could not continue his sentence.

"Are you feeling restless?"ask Lucie again.

"That's..."Adrian scratched his head."How'd you.."

"It wasn't me, but he realized it" Lucie cut open her hand.

"That's also the reason why you were asked to come out for a while to clear your mind" he continued

"He always said, work will not end well if your mind is not on the same page as the work in front of you" said Lucie again.

Adrian was stunned.His mind immediately returned to the moment where Rose told him Nayla who seemed to ignore something but the real thing he thought about it, especially the people around him.And now he felt it, he felt it,how keen his feelings are to what is around him.

"You better go back there.Your job will be heavier because it is close to the schedule of the book published." said Lucie disperse the daydreams Adrian.

"Thank you Lucie" said Adrian and immediately turned his body towards Nayla's room to return to work.

"Hey, Aldrian.."Call Lucie to stop Adrian.

"Yes..?"adrian asked to turn the body.

"Try not to be formal with her, to be honest she doesn't like it when treated as if she's a higher position." - Lucie.

Adrian answered by shrugging his shoulders.

"I tried to try it.it was a little difficult" said Adrian grimacing and left Lucie who shook his head.

...****************...

Nayla came out of the office when the day was dark.Wajah tirednya looks very clearly drawn on his face.Adrian had come home when the day was still late.Radious feeling grew shortly before Nayla asked Adrian to go home first to leave him.

"Haahhhh.."the sigh"I completely forgot to order a taxi.It seems that from tomorrow I have to use my own car.Moreover Rose is no longer with me." muttered Nayla slowly as she took off her glasses and pressed between her eyes.

With a shaky step, Jayla walked to look for a taxi, when she saw a taxi moving her hand to hail the taxi, but before it was done, a car slowed down to where Nayla was standing and lowered the windshield.

"Roy.."Nayla's thesis when she saw who was in the car.

"Well Nay, don't just stand there" said Rory with a smile on his lips.

"Is that how you offer someone a ride?"asked Nayla with raised eyebrows.

"Do you challenge me, Nay?"ask Rory with a grin.

"No." answered Nayla quickly, and got into Rory's car without arguing again considering the incident where she did not immediately get in her car, then Rory would go down and open the car door for her with a long drama.

"People will think I threatened you with a car with a gun" Rory said.

"And you should know, your statement is more egregious than a threat." replied Nayla after sitting down and putting her glasses in her bag.

"Then.what are you doing tonight like this?"ask Nayla."I hope it's not waiting for someone you can rob" Nayla laughed.

"Hemmm. To be honest I don't want to lie, but it looks like you won't believe me if I say it." said Rory started running his car.

"Don't judge" Nayla protested.

"Ha ha ha. alright.I did wait, and you're the one I'm waiting for." replied Rory glanced at Nayla at a glance and then turned to the street again.

"Royy.." said Nayla.

"Again what's wrong with that?whatever the reason I was there, whether it was coincidence or intentional I was happy to see you.I wish I could do it every day." Rory said really.

Nayla's heart rippled, a hot feeling creeping onto her face.

"May I ask Roy something?"nayla asked covering up the awkwardness she was beginning to feel.

"Tell me." answered Rory without looking.

"What do you actually do every day?"ask Nayla, heart.

"Anything can make money." replied Rory origin.

"Roy..."Nayla hits Rory's shoulder slowly.

"What."Rory replied with a crisp laugh.

"I'm seriously wondering." asked Nayla.

"If my job wasn't good, would you change your attitude toward me?"ask Rory.

"That's rough Roy.."happy Nayla doesn't like.

"No. I'm serious, Nay, and I'm waiting for your answer" said Rory seriously.

After a short pause, Nayla took a deep breath and exhaled quickly.

"First...What you have and what you don't have won't change who you are." said Nayla raising her index finger.

"Both..Regardless of what you do, what you do for the job won't change the way I see you that you're good." said Nayla raising her middle finger.

"Third one...Do you think I show a certain attitude based only on what I get?if YES, believe me I'd really like to kick you any way."Nayla raises her ring finger and puts on a serious face.

Rory could not help but laugh again, Slowly Rory slowed down his car, pushed aside in a safe place and turned to look at Nayla.

"You really are unique Nay.During this time I tried to impress others on me, even if it had to lie though.But here it is I who impressed you." said Rory.

"Don't swallow raw meat you just received without cooking it Roy" Nayla said.

"With your answer like that I'm sure what I'm saying is true." replied Rory.

Nayla was speechless, staring at Rory who was looking at her in making her feel a thump she had never felt before.

"So.what's the answer?"nayla asked, distracting her, feeling her cheeks heat up.

"Huhh..?"Rory raised her eyebrows.

"Your job is Roy.don't be evasive, you promised me the answer." said Nayla.

"I honestly wish you'd forgotten that." replied Rory.

"No" said Nayla.

"Hahhh...I work at a music agency, I hope that answer is enough for now" said Rory turned his face away and started running his car again.

'For the time being, I'll answer that for a while.I'll tell you the truth later.' he thought.

"Is that why it makes you know a lot of food from different countries?like following where an artist went?.I thought you were a food vlogger" Nayla said with a laugh.

"Ah...I should have answered that." replied Rory laughing.

"It's past dinner, but it's better than nothing.What do you want to eat Nay?"ask Rory.

"Do you just have to ask questions to prepare a dialogue throughout it?"asked Nayla laughing.

"Because you're used to the rejection answer." replied Rory.

"Is it that bad?"ask Nayla.

"Come on.you just have to answer."Rory groaned softly making Nayla laugh softly.

"Hmmm...We can stop at the first place we meet after this." replied Nayla.

"You sure?"ask Rory.

"Yes, of course, is something wrong?"ask Nayla.

"No. It's just that in front of us there's only a burger shop." replied Rory."Or can we find another place, Broth, cafe or another restaurant?"ask Rory.

"I'm fine about the burger shop, I don't think that's a problem." replied Nayla.

"Okay, burger shop then."hail Rory.

Nayla nodded with a smile.

Behind them, a car follows them with a heart.When Rory enters the parking lot of the burger shop,the car did the same thing and parked the car in a place invisible to Rory.Supervising Rory through their car without Rory realizing it
