THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
26.The Unexpected

A woman who was seen with her partner looked at Nayla cynically.

"Have you finally come out of the cave after all this time Nayrela." - satirically.

"And take this strange friend of yours with you to cover your solitude?"cynical saying.

Nayla looked at the woman with a look of disbelief.Before Nayla could say something, the woman said again, saying,

"Do you know how ridiculous life is?"he said laughs softly."Full of weird drama, even she can go crazy just because of the bracelet she wears." she added with a mocking smile.

Rory, Thomas Nathan and Ethan look at each other for a moment , looking at Nayla worried.When Nayla just shut up and stare at the woman expressionlessly.

"Oh, do you also still often hang yourself in your gloomy house?neglecting your work and just handing over your work to Rose?"he said"To make Rose go to America and you manage to get a new victim, don't you?"said."Great.."he added, patting his hand.

"Hey, enough.your sarcasm sucks.do you know that?"rory could not take it anymore.

Thomas was surprised by Rory's voice, but he also did not know how to raise it without adding to the commotion.

"Just relax, man, there's no need to yell at me" said the man beside her.

"And it would be better if you could help keep your partner's mouth" replied Rory sharply.

Rory's hands clenched and trembled violently withstanding the emotions, staring sharply at the couple in front of her.

Gently, Nayla loosened Rory's fist and put her own hand in it. Staring at the two of them and smiling.

"Please enjoy your dinner" said Nayla, smiling calmly and trying to get out of the way as soon as possible to avoid involving Rory and her friend in trouble.

"All I know is that freaks will hang out with their fellow freaks and you'll get even stranger by hanging out with them" he said, pointing to Rory and his friends.

Nayla stops her steps and turns around.Thomas tries to stop Nayla

"Just ignore it" said Thomas gently putting his hand on Nayla's boat.

Nayla nodded slowly, her smile disappeared completely changed with a sharp and cold gaze.Without releasing Rory's hand in her hand and letting Thomas's hand, her eyes drifted towards Vania and her partner.

"Have you ever heard the term 'don't interfere in other people' can't you understand what it means?"nayla said coldly making Vania freeze due to Nayla's voice and gaze.

"You may trouble me, and I won't be bothered with your big mouth.But don't touch anyone around me." Nayla said with warning.

"I will remind you one thing, I have a feeling that the person next to you will be your biggest regret" Nayla said before turning around and asking Rory's friend to come out with her.

"Heyy, Hayrela, what do you mean?"she shouted as Nayla reached the door and went out choosing to ignore her screams.

"Sorry miss.please don't make a fuss here."ask the waiter to try to calm down.

Silence enveloped Nayla when she left the burger shop.Unwittingly, Nayla still did not let go of Rory's hand.Tak can not let the silence longer, Nayla stopped her steps and opened her voice.

"I'm sorry, you guys got into a ruckus and heard a bad thing because of me."Nayla said with her head bowed, and slowly raised her head to stare at those in front of her.

"You're involved in something unpleasant and I'm the one who dragged you into it. I'm really sorry to you" Nayla said, starting to bow her head again.

"To be honest, it's me who's dragging you into this." said Thomas scratching his head."Because we are around you, and yahh this appearance is strange." he added.

"No.."Nayla shakes her head."He will ignore you if I am the only one in front of him.Weird words are not the right expression for you" said Nayla.

"Anyone will say strangely because we cover our faces even our heads" Ethan continued."we very often hear the word, but we ignore it."more.

"And you silenced him for us, how can we blame you?"continue Nathan.

"But I'm also curious, who is he?why does he say that?"ask Thomas.

Doubt arises between whether he should say it or not.

"You don't have to say it if you don't want Nay" Rory said softly.

"He was a friend when I was a student, at least I thought of him as such.He just didn't like me." said Nayla.

"it's outrageous to be based on not liking someone" Nathan said.

"Because from the beginning I ignored him every time he acted, and by chance he worked not far from where I worked" Nayla said.

"So he said only on the basis of what he saw without knowing what was really going on?"ask Thomas.

"Maybe it's easier to say that, I just need to ignore it if it's just me that she's involved in." said Nayla."But you got the impact.I'm really sorry to you guys for this incident." said Nayla again.

"Do you know, you were so cool that you could keep him quiet like that" Ethan said, distracting Nayla with laughter.

"You can be that calm too .It could even catch Rory easily." said Thomas glancing at Nayla's hand.

"Ahh.sorry.."pekik Nayla then let go of his hand"Without knowing me...."Nayla was stamped with a red tinge on her face.

"Ranzhh...Thomasss.you're ruining the tau atmosphere.."Ethan and Nathan growled and snapped Thomas's head together.

"Arrhhh.why if in this case you are very compact."grily Thomas rubbed his head.

"Isn't the reason obvious." Nathan and Ethan replied simultaneously.It made Nayla laugh amusedly.

"Why should I apologize?"said Rory bent her body to get closer to Nayla and extended her hand. "I don't mind" said Rory again.

"I'll take you home" said Rory yet to lower his hand.

His tall body bent to match Nayla's height.

"Then, them?"Nayla glanced at Thomas, Ethan and Nathan.

"Don't worry about us.we'll bring our own car." replied Ethan blinked his eyes.

"Come home, Nay, it's nice to see you again" said Thomas."Maybe you need to cool your head after seeing them both" she added pointing at Nathan and Ethan with her head.

"You want more?"ethan asked, clenching his hand, Nathan prepared to catch Thomas.

"Hey...Please stop.."siru Nayla accompanied by a light laugh."Alright..I'm going home"Nayla nodded and accepted Rory's helping hand.

After smiling and waving at them, Rory and Nayla left the burger.

"It turns out she's a tough woman" Jonathan commented after entering their car and removing each other's masks.

"It's very rare for a woman to be that calm when she's denigrated.But surprisingly, she's terrible when she's angry.and she's angry only when we're involved.While when she's herself involved, she still looks calm."nathan said again.

"What I said was true, right?you'll feel comfortable talking to him." said Ethan.

"Haahh.I admit.he was completely different." Nathan replied smilingly.

"I'm actually curious about what the woman said, but I don't think I can ask you directly" Ethan said.

"About?"ask Thomas.

"The woman said, Nayla can go crazy just because of the bracelet she wears.what's the masud and why?"ask Ethan.

"I agree." replied Ethan.

"Let's go home" Thomas said.

Nodding in agreement, they left the burger shop to return.

Meanwhile, Rory, who was on her way to take Nayla, was caught in silence.

"Nay.."call Rory slowly.

"Yes..?"nayla turned to look at Rory.

"Are you okay?"ask Rory.

"I'm good." replied Smiling.

"You know that you don't have to hold back what you feel for yourself, I'm here for you" said Rory softly.

"Thank you Roy, I appreciate it." said Nayla smiling.

"Do you mind if I ask Nay?"ask Rory.

"No.what do you want to ask?"ask Nayla.

"Do you know that guy?"ask Rory.

"Man..?"Nayla frowned.

"What we met" said Rory .

"No. I don't know him." replied Nayla.

"No..??"ask Rory bangtung.

"Yes.I don't know him.Why are you asking that?"ask Nayla.

"Why did you say that he would be her biggest regret?"ask Rory.

"Because I knew he would." answered Nayla.

"How's it.?"ask Rory.

"To put it simply, I often see her with different women" Nayla replied.

"With you saying that, isn't that what you helped her with?who was?Va..vani.a?"ask Rory not to believe it.

Nayla put her shoulders up and smiled before saying,

"I just want him to not feel what it's like to fall" replied Nayla.

"Even after everything he's done to you?"ask Rory again.

"I have a feeling he's not that bad, I wouldn't know if someday he'll help me when I need him." replied Nayla.

"Haahhh.I don't know your way of thinking."sigh Rory.

Nayla smiles.

Time goes fast until they do not feel they have been in front of Nayla's apartment.After Rory's car stops, Nayla releases the seat belt and turns to look at Rory.

"Thank you for driving me to Roy and for dinner" said Nayla smiling and opening the door to the dance.

"Wait for Nay.."Prevent Rory from holding Nayla's hand out.

"Yes..?"nayla looked at Rory.

"Do you have time tomorrow night?"ask Rory.

"Tomorrow.?"nayla asked raising her eyebrows which was answered with a nod of Rory's head.

"Can you come to dinner with me?"ask Rory.

'My work tomorrow will be more because Adrian indirectly refused to come early.but if I come to the office early again, it looks like it will have time' thought Nayla.

"All right.Where is that?and what time is it?"ask Nayla.

"Really?"rory asked with sparkling eyes.

"Of course." answered Nayla.

"Tomorrow at Leicester Square at 9.But, I will send a driver for you" said Rory.

"Hotell.."nayla's eyes widened.

"Hey.ayolah.don't think of anything strange.what are you trying to think of?."protest Rory with raised eyebrows and then flicked Nayla's nose."They have a great Rooftop and lounge, and I'm sure you'll love it" Rory said.

"Okay.but I can get there myself" said Nayla.

"No.."Rory's yelling."I'll send a driver for you, and I don't accept rejection" Rory said.

"But Roy.."Nayla protest.

"This is my request.remember our bet during the festival right?I can ask for anything without your refusal, I'll use it now, and that's what I'm asking for" Rory said.

"Bright..."Nayla sighs in defeat, "Well.well.I'll do it." replied Nayla.

"good..Thank you Nay," said Rory.

Nayla nodded and smiled.

After Rory releases Nayla's hand, Nayla gets out of Rory's car.

"Be careful on Roy's path." said Nayla after standing next to the car.

"Oh.I forgot one more thing." said Rory.

"What's that.?"ask Nayla.

"Wear the dress I sent you tomorrow.Nay night."Rory blinks her eyes and runs her car before Nayla can protest.

"What,,??wait.heii..Royy.."seru Nayla who was only replied with a wave of Rory's hand from his car that began to move away.

"Aaghhh.sucks.he's acting like he wants to."nayla grumbled a little stomping her feet.

Staring at Rory's car that was getting further away and disappeared.Nayla turned to enter her apartment with a smile that began to grow on her lips..
