THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
27.Misunderstand

Adrian arrives at the office at the hour as usual.Lucie's voice stops the scarcity when he heads to Nayla's room and turns to look at Lucie who is looking at him in wonder.

"You just came?"ask Lucie.

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

"Did Nayla not tell you anything yesterday before coming home?"ask Lucie.

"Ahh.it...what's the matter Lucie?"ask Adrian.

"Nayla was here early in the morning.It only happened when her work was more than usual.I thought you had come, that's why I didn't go in her room" said Lucie.

'So yesterday ..oh no, what have I done' thought Adrian.

"Did something happen?"ask Lucie.

"No.I went inside first." replied Adrian and left.

"What's wrong with them?"muttered Lucie.

In the room Nayla is focusing on her computer.Some documents are on both sides where some have been completed.Journal, raw data, the manuscript has been arranged neatly in part.

Geck..Geck..The sound of knocking on the door sounded,

"Get in.." said Nayla.

Adrian pushed the door and bowed a little to say hello to Nayla.

Nayla just turned her head and nodded.Without saying anything and got back busy with her work.

"I'm sorry I came late" Adrian said nervously.

"You're not late." answered Nayla flatly.

The sound of knocking on the door again diverted Adrian's attention.

"Get in.." said Nayla.

An OB entered with a tray containing a steaming cup of coffee and a sandwich opened the door and smiled kindly.

"Excuse me non, I brought you your coffee.I also brought you a sandwich" he said politely.

"Lho, I didn't ask for a sandwich" replied Nayla.

"You come early in the morning, so I just thought maybe the lady hasn't eaten yet.I've adjusted to your taste, but you don't have to eat it if you don't like it, '" she said with a polite smile.

"Waahh, thank you very much sir, how may I not eat it" answered Nayla kindly.

"Please non." she said as she put down the coffee mug and the sandwich.

"I'm retreating" he said.

Nayla nodded.

"Why do you want something too?"he asked Adrian.

"No.thank you." replied Adrian.

The OB nodded and left Nayla's room.

Adrian sat down with anxiety that piled up in his heart.Persuasa guilt nestled in his mind considering the incident yesterday afternoon.Slowly Adrian glanced at Nayla who was sipping coffee and then returned to her work.

The eyes behind the glasses look focused.Once his hand grabbed the sandwich and bit it, then put it again.

"Can I help you, miss?"ask Adrian.

"Not for now.you just do your job" replied Nayla without looking.

Adrian was speechless said Nayla kamrin afternoon ringing his ears.The attitude he showed was twisted again in front of his matan.

"Can you come tomorrow more

morning Adrian?"ask Nayla.

"Tomorrow?is there anything urgent?"ask Adrian.

'Why should I come in the morning?today's work has passed the clock home.when there is Rose this will never happen' he thought.

"Help me finish some data, and it should be finished tomorrow." replied Nayla .

'What does that mean?data I've been working on today.I've included overtime, 'whisper his heart.

Without Adrian knowing, Nayla had noticed the look on his face and understood that Adrian objected to fulfill his wish.

"You can go home now" said Nayla.

"Sorry..?you mean..?"ask Adrian.

"You can go home now.Leave the last thing I ask you to do, and go home" said Nayla flatly.

"No miss, let me finish it in a moment" replied Adrian.

'Does he like to change?what was the reason for holding me back and now asking me to come home?'heart complaint.

"No need, it's also past your return hour, come home.I want to be here by myself." said Nayla again.

"I'm resigning myself" replied Adrian.

Nayla let out a long sigh after Adrian closed the door.

"You show too much of your heart Adrian.Your face shows too much of everything you think."Nayla muttered softly.

Adrian was busy with his thoughts and it was likely that some things could have happened.

"Come out for a while Adrian" said Nayla, breaking Adrian's daydream.

"Sorry miss?"adrian asked not to understand.

"If you tell me that story in this room, you can be outside, I don't need you to be in one room with me" Nayla said without turning her head.

"I also know you're depressed if there's only me here, so you can choose where you want to work" Nayla said.

Adrian was stunned to look at Nayla.indeed true Nayla is the figure of his idol.But because the work actually makes him become selfish and feel burdened with work, while Nayla never complicates him.

"No miss, please forgive me." said Adrian.

"You didn't make a mistake, I think I'm the one who's wrong here.anyone will misunderstand when facing people who like to change." said Nayla still focused on her computer.

"No miss, you're right because it reminds me, but I just ignored it" Adrian said.

"Hey Adrian, there are times when you don't have to obey something that goes against your heart, if your heart says no, then say no. Don't say Yes just to please someone" Nayla said.

"I don't look at you as an assistant or subordinate here.What I know is that we are just equal, sometimes can go hand in hand.not a shadow that only goes behind its owner." said Nayla again.

"I..."Adrian did not know what response to be issued.Minded that he had misunderstood the attitude of Nayla shown to him.

Nayla's phone rang, but when Nayla looked at her phone screen and saw what was on her phone screen, she chose to ignore it.

"Oh yeah, can you meet the guy who made the appointment with me?"ask Nayla.

"I..?"adrian pointed to himself.

"Yes." answered Nayla.

"Is it okay if I find the person who made the appointment with you?"ask Adrian.

"It's precisely because it would be a problem if I met him, that's why I asked you for help.But, you can refuse if you don't want.I can ask Lucie to do it." said Nayla.

"Good..Let me do it.Who exactly should I meet?"ask Adrian.

"Introduction to the letter.And you only need to bend the direction if he asks about me.Introduction to the letter I know is not working so that ushering in today is a temporary substitute.Can you do it?"ask Nayla.

"Sure, I can do it." replied Adrian smiling.

"okay.thank you" said Nayla.

"Mmmm.what...are you angry at me miss?"ask Adrian.

Nayla raised her head and directed her gaze at Adrian, frowning and nodding with a questioning look.

"Why should I be mad at you?"ask Nayla.

"Because I don't do everything as well as Rose." replied Adrian softly.

"Everyone has to start somewhere to reach their goals, and the best way to learn is to try things" Nayla said, taking off her glasses.

"You're not as good as Rose?who said that?don't judge yourself badly when you have more Adrian's worth." said Nayla again.

Adrian mused every word issued by Nayla.Betapa himself had mistakenly thought Nayla just wanted to suppress it.Nayla actually thought about it.

"Is it very heavy of pressure for the person who is about to get engaged?"asked Nayla again, a smile grew on her lips.

Adrian's eyes widened when he heard the question that he had ever asked, while Adian woke up from his seat staring at Nayla who was looking at him as friendly as usual by holding her hands together to support her chin.

"Tu-tu-wait..Da-da-where did you know this?"ask Adrian stammered.

"Rose didn't even know about this.Sa-I didn't tell anyone this." asked Adrian again.

"Of course I know of you.just said it, right?"ask Nayla relax.

"No.no. there's no way you're just saying this just to lure me into saying it." replied Adrian in disbelief.

"I'm telling you the truth, I know about you, and I know when you came to my apartment." replied Nayla.

"How can it.?"adrian asked stiffly.

"Let's calm.I'm not saying this to anyone, and if about how, blame yourself for showing so much of your own heart even in front of me" Nayla said.

"Why are you so surprised?"nayla asked in the end, laughing softly.

"Are you seriously asking?"adrian asked gulped, a little horrified with the sharpness of Nayla's feelings."I don't even know what words to use, horrible or scary" Adrian said.

"I'll take that as a compliment." said Nayla laughing softly."And it looks like your mood is getting better." said Nayla again.

"Thanks to you" replied Adrian smiling sincerely.

Nayla's phone rang again, the same call from a few minutes ago.Adrian realized the sense of receiving the call from Nayla's face.

"I'm sorry, miss, if you don't mind, let me answer" Adrian said.

"You're serious?"asked Nayla smiling with relief.

"I'm serious." replied Adrian.

"Ohh I was helped.I said no, but I still called me" Nayla said giving up her phone.

"Do I have to confirm your answer?"ask Adrian.

"Yes.please.." replied Nayla.

Adrian nodded and answered the call.Nayla noticed Adrian and for the first time saw the firm side of him.A few minutes passed, Aldrian again handed over Nayla's phone.

"If you don't mind and are distracted by this, just switch the call to my phone" Adrian said.

"Are you sure?don't you worry if it'll make you sleepless?"ask Nayla to make sure.

"I don't mind that" replied Adrian.

"Well, thank you Adrian" said Nayla smiling.

"You don't have to thank me just for this, miss." said Adrian.

"Huhh..until when are you being formal with me?"noah Nayla put a palm on her forehead.

"I....."

"Just do what makes you comfortable, okay.?no pressure"cut Nayla.

"Thank you" Adrian replied.

"I will resume my work" Adrian said, bowing a little.

Nayla nodded and resumed her work.Disela work, she also wrote important points for her new work.

Until it was not felt, the afternoon arrived.Adrian began to clean up his goods ready to go home.When he saw Nayla was still busy with her computer, Adrian approached her

"Is there anything I can do to help you with, miss?"adrian asked to look at his computer.

"No" answered Nayla briefly.

"Are you writing a new title?"adrian asked in shock as he glanced at his computer.

"Yes.because my work is done faster thanks to you.so I chose to write this." replied Nayla.

"Oh I forgot to say one thing to you.I've finished my work, everything is here.Tomorrow you just need a check and re-control.I'm not going to the office tomorrow." said Nayla.

"Well, I understand.Contact me when you need something" Adrian said.

"okay..Bye Adrian" said Nayla turned to Adrian for a while and then returned to the computer screen again.

'Miss Nayla is not that bad, I will try to better understand her instead of protesting whatever her actions, everything Miss Nayla does is always based' thought Adrian.

Slowly, Adrian closed the door to Nayla's room, leaving her alone in the midst of pouring out what she had in mind.

Nayla leaves the office when the sun is almost completely submerged and is startled by a box waiting for her in her apartment.
