THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
40.Paris

Mata Nayla gasped in disbelief at what she saw.Rory sent a plane ticket to Paris with her name listed on the ticket.

"I need my glasses now" said Nayla still with the rest of her surprise.

"Ha ha ha,, well, you can shut your mouth now" Rory said as if seeing Nayla's reaction. "And again, don't you no longer need to wear glasses?" ask Rory.

"No, I hope it's not what I think it is" Nayla said.

"Unfortunately,, yes, this is exactly what you think Nay is," Rory replied casually.

"Are you crazy?" nayla got up from her seat.

Adrian was surprised by the high tone that arrived at Nayla, then approached Nayla worried.

"Well, you're the one who drove me crazy for not seeing you for too long" Rory replied.

Realizing the spontaneous attitude, Nayla just beckoned everything was fine and asked Adrian to sit back and put a palm on his forehead.

"Is everything okay?" adrian asked to make sure he was not out of place.

"Yes, sorry to interrupt your work" Nayla said.

Rory, who accidentally hears Adrian's voice, makes his mind disturbed.

"Who is with you?" rory asked calmly suppressing her suspicions.

"Did you forget?I'm still in the office, of course he's my co-worker here" replied Nayla.

"Gosh,, I forgot about that, then I'll call you later tonight.Make sure you pack up tonight to get a flight tomorrow morning, see you later, Nay!" rory said enthusiastically, his suspicions just vanished.

"But, gaiman__" Nayla frowned then looked at her phone and exhaled violently.

'He hung up the phone again, watch out! Aaahhhh,,, sucks!' it's in the heart.

Nayla put her palms in both eyes, sat back down and sighed softly.

"Are you sure everything's okay?" adrian was still standing.

"All good, only someone pisses me off" replied Nayla softly.

"Do you need anything?maybe I can help" Adrian said.

Nayla straightened up, looked up and looked at Adrian in wonder.

"Did I say something wrong miss?" adrian asked frowning.

"Yes and no" answered Nayla flatly.

"You mean?" adrian bungunga.

Nayla turned her face and let out a long sigh, believing that something was wrong with Adrian's attitude, but not sure what it was.

"It's nothing!" nayla answered in the end.

His eyes returned to his e-mail and closed the account.

"Thank you, I'm very helpful" Nayla said as she offered Adrian a laptop.

"It is with pleasure, my lady" replied Adrian.

"How do you know the name of my email? I don't remember ever giving you my e-mail!" Nayla looked back at Adrian curiously.

"Rose gave it to me, and I remember him because he said it was important" Adrian replied.

"Is that so?" ask Nayla.

Adrian smiled politely and nodded, his hand reaching for the laptop and taking it back to where he had been sitting.

"You can sit here if I don't come Adrian, even if I come, it doesn't matter to me if you sit here.Sitting on the couch doing chores in a bent position is very uncomfortable," Nayla.

"I understand, miss," replied Adrian smiling.

"If you're not comfortable with that, I can add a desk and a computer in this room to you" Nayla said.

"No, no, No, no, no need miss, I've been comfortable in this, really!" adrian stood up to shake his hands.

'I will no longer keep my distance from her, I hope that the lady does not carry out her intentions, ' whispered her heart in hope.

"Are you sure?" ask Nayla.

"I'm very sure miss," replied Adrian for sure.

"Well if you've said that, I just don't want you to feel pressured by your work" Nayla said.

"Absolutely not, miss," replied Adrian. "Before I just needed time to digest it, and also get used to myself," replied Adrian.

"Alright, just do what makes you comfortable, I have to go now," said Nayla getting up from her seat.

"Do I need to book a taxi for you?" ask Adrian.

"No need, actually my taxi was waiting outside, rather I asked to wait," Nayla said with a short laugh.

Adrian smiled and shook his head as Nayla walked towards the door.Before Nayla opened the door, she turned to look at Adrian with a slight tilt of her head then said, Before Nayla opened the door,

"If you want to lie to me, find a better excuse than OLD FRIEND,! That way, maybe I'll believe more of what you're saying." said Nayla then left Adrian pecking.

SSRRUUGH,,,, THE,,,,

Adrian drops himself on the sofa with his eyes constantly staring at the door where Nayla disappeared.

"I think Rose was right, it was very difficult to hide something from her" murmured Adrian covering his face with his palm.

Meanwhile, Nayla breezed away leaving the office which began to quiet with a smile adorning her lips.

His mind returned the moment Rory contacted him.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Nayla reopened her E-mail to make sure once again what she saw.

"He really bought me a ticket to Paris?why is he doing this?" said Nayla putting a palm on her forehead.

Not wanting to wait any longer, Nayla passed her phone to contact Rory.

"Have you just reconfirmed your e-mail, Nay?" asked Rory chuckled softly.

"Do you know your question sounds terrible, Roy?that sounds like you've installed a camera in my apartment" Nayla said.

Rory chuckled before saying.

"Start packing, Jay! I deliberately picked up the morning flight" Rory said after her laughter subsided.

"Why are you doing this, Roy?" ask Nayla.

"Isn't that obvious?" ask Rory. "I miss you, and I really want to see you" she continued.

"But," Nayla was silent for a moment. "What about your job?" nayla asked felt bad.

"Let me take care of it.One thing is for sure and you should know is that everything will be fine," Rory assures.

"You just need to come here, I've booked a hotel for you to stay.Easy right?" said Rory again.

"But,,,"

"Can't you ask for a few days' leave?" ask Rory.

"It's not that, of course I can take a few days off, I just don't want you to get in trouble at your place of work because of this," Nayla said slowly.

"I told you, right?I'll take care of it.So, don't worry about it! you can come, right?" ask Rory expectantly.

"Emm,,," Nayla muttered and thought.

"Please say YES" said Rory.

"Say, YES,!" said Rory again.

"YES?" insist Rory. "Pleaseee,,,!" continued.

"Yes, Yes, fine," replied Nayla smiling.

" YEESSSS,,," Rory exclaimed happily.

"Basic, how can it be so hard to resist you?" ask Nayla.

"That's the thing that shouldn't be!" rory replied laughing shortly.

"In that case, start packing and go to bed early to get enough rest,!" prince Rory.

"Well, I'll start packing" replied Nayla.

"Oh, and don't forget to bring some warm clothes, even though here in spring, the night wind still feels quite cold,!" said Rory.

"All right, there again?" ask Nayla.

"There," answered Rory quickly.

"What's that?" ask Nayla.

"I love you" said Rory.

"I love you too, Roy!" reply Nayla smiled.

"See you tomorrow" said Rory.

"Until we meet again" replied Nayla.

"Fais de beaux reves, ma cherie" Rory said before hanging up.

Nayla was stunned to hear it and stared at the phone screen with her face starting to turn red.

Fais de beaux reves, ma cherie [beautiful dream]

Nayla repeats the last sentence before Rory ends her call and covers her face with both hands.

'How can he always have a way to make me feel special?' whispered his heart and smiled.

Nayla prepares her suitcase and puts in some clothes for the trip tomorrow.Tak forgot Nayla put in her laptop to facilitate her work.

After sending Adrian a message not to go to his apartment, and saying no to the office for the next few days, he fell asleep.

Nayla drops herself on top of the Hotel bed after reading Rory's message that she has some business for a while and will meet him after lunch.

Feeling unable to stay still after arriving, Nayla decided to go out for a walk while waiting for Rory's work to be completed.After changing her clothes with a more relaxed, Nayla also departed.

When the hotel staff saw that Nayla was planning to leave,the hotel staff offered a chauffeur service to guide Nayla's journey while being a hotel guest (the real reason was to get a request from Rory and asked to keep it a secret) which was immediately accepted with pleasure.

"May I ask?" nayla told hotel staff walking in front of her to guide the way to reach the ready-made car.

"Sure, miss.What do you want to ask?" ask the hotel staff.

"Do all hotel visitors also get this kind of privilege?" ask Nayla.

"Of course, ladies.Only guests are free to choose whether to accept our offer or reject it" he replied, turning his head.

"We want to provide comfort for all who stay here" he said with a smile.

Nayla nodded and smiled.The hotel staff showed the car prepared with a driver standing next to her, smiling kindly.

"Hopefully your day pleases miss" said the hotel staff slightly bowed.

"Thank you" answered Nayla, stepping into the car, which was opened by the driver.

"Please, miss," he said, bowing his body politely.

"Thank you" said Nayla smiling.

Making sure Nayla had sat down, the driver heartily closed the door and nodded at the hotel staff who were still unmoved.

"Have you decided where you're going, miss?" ask the driver after sitting behind the wheel.

"I want to go to the bookstore, Do you have any recommendations?" ask Nayla.

"Of course, miss.There is one closest from here.And some are quite far away, but you will not regret it if you visit there," he said.

The driver's statement tickled the curiosity in his heart.Nayla also asked to start from the nearest.

The driver with a friendly smile nodded to meet Nayla's wishes.

"What about the library?" nayla asked open her voice as the car crossed the city streets.

"The library is spread in several places in the city, some are also quite far away.There is one library that has always been a special place for some people, especially if he is a student.Only, this library is not easy to enter, it is not easy to enter,especially for a tourist," the driver explained smoothly with his attention on the road.

"Only for those who have an access card and there are local people who are with them as guides.Because this library requires using the local language when going in." he explained.

"That sounds interesting,why do they have to be that tight for the library?Can you tell me more?" ask Nayla enthusiastically.

'*This is unique, so long as I always deliver people from other countries, and their destination is mostly the Eifel Tower, but this lady is a bookstore and library*, ' he said in his heart.

"This library is the oldest and most important national library in France, which we call the *Bibliotheque Nationale de France* (BNF).There is one room that can only be entered by students and a researcher who is called the reading room *Labrouste*.While other rooms everyone can enter into it, for example, *Rondel Gallery, Rotunda of performing Arts, Manuscript Room*." he explained.

"Is it possible for me to visit this place?" ask Nayla.

"Of course, Mona. You can book a tour for the grub on Thursday, and an indivdu tour on Saturday.Just you have to book a long day to fill this tour slot." he said.

"It just makes me want to go there more than ever" replied Nayla.

"You like books, Don't you?" ask driver.

"Very," replied Nayla smiling.

"All right, this lady she's her bookstore.*The Abbey Bookshop*" he said, stopping the car.

Nayla was stunned to see a bookstore that looked not so big from the front,but it has several floors.Near the store there are sellers of snacks and drinks.Tables and round chairs are also provided for who wants to read and relax.

"Does it matter if I look for a book while you're here?" nayla asked felt bad.

"Of course not, I'm fine here.If you need me, I'm happy to help" said the driver and smiled kindly.

"If so, please don't refuse! Eat and drink something, and let me treat you," Nayla said, then got out of the car and left with a face of enthusiasm without waiting for the driver's answer.

The driver shook his head smiling amusedly at the sight of Nayla enthusiastically entering the bookstore.

Nayla stared at the contents of the shop with sparkling eyes.The towering book rack reached the sky with the book neatly arranged.

Bookshelves even in stacking so neatly.The directions were written very clearly.It was very easy for Nayla to find the type of book she wanted.

Nayla climbed the stairs to the second floor, not inferior to the first floor, on the second floor also a neatly arranged book.

'*Amazing,, this book is perfectly arranged.Literature, fantasy, biography and more, directions and types of books are clearly written*,' his heart was amazed by everything he saw.

Satisfied to have been around, Nayla bought some books and walked towards the cashier.A grandfather in a white hat with a body still firmly smiled kindly when Nayla handed over the book to be purchased.

The waiting driver approached Nayla to help.

"Is there any more, miss?"ask driver.

"No, just this" answered Nayla.

The driver spoke to the shopkeeper in their local language, while Nayla issued her credit card when the shopkeeper mentioned the amount to be paid.

"*Merci beaucoup, mademoiselle*\[thank you very much, Dona\]" the grandfather smiled.

"*Je vous en prie* \[thank you back\]" replied Nayla smiling.

Nayla also left the bookstore with the goods taken over by the driver to be taken to the car.

"*Passe une bonne journey \[hopefully your day is fun\]" grandfather exclaimed*before Nayla reached the door.

Nayla turned around and smiled as she gave a small wave of her hand to the old man.

"Do you want to visit another store, miss?" ask the driver when they are in the car.

"I want to go to the perpus\_\_" callimat Nayla cut off by the voice of her cell phone. "A moment," said Nayla, taking out her phone and answering a message that turned out to be from Rory.

"Where are you, Nay?" ask her in a worried voice.

"I visited a bookstore, did something happen? You sound worried?" ask Nayla.

"How could it not? I came to the hotel and you're not here" he lamented.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to text you, I'll see you now, you're still at the hotel right?" ask Nayla to feel guilty.

"Haha,," his sighs slowly.

"Hey,, come on, I'm sorry, okay?" nayla.

"Just tell the driver to drive you to *Debilly footbridge*" Rory said.

"All right, I'll be there soon" said Nayla.

Nayla ends her call and asks the driver to deliver to the place where Rory told her.
