"Nay,,, Wait,,,!" thomas shouted as Nayla reached the outside door of the building.
Nayla stopped her steps and held back her tears before looking back. Thomas runs up to Nayla, and Ethan is unexpectedly behind Thomas.
"Why are you chasing me? Don't let you guys get in the news because they're around me" prevent Nayla.
"I'm sure it won't happen" Thomas replied glancing at Ethan.
"Why are you following me?" thomas protest.
"Confidence is too high, my friend" Ethan said, "I follow Nayla, not you" Ethan continued, sticking out his tongue.
A small smile grew on the corner of Nayla's lips looking at their behavior. He realized that they were doing so to comfort him.
"Don't do everything yourself, Jay!" disallow Thomas.
"I have to do it, Thomas," replied Nayla.
"That will harm you" Thomas warned in a heartfelt tone of worry.
"I won't act rashly" said Nayla calmly.
"That's not the case, Nay," Ethan said.
"I know what I should and don't do" Nayla said.
"But_,,"
"Do you believe those pictures?" nayla asks cutting out Ethan's sentence.
"Of course not, I don't believe in any of that. Although I haven't known you for a long time, but I'm pretty sure you're not the one who's going to act like that" Ethan said.
"In that case, it was enough for me to push for me to keep doing it no matter what," Nayla said.
"But you don't have to do everything yourself, Nay," Thomas argues.
"I can't let you get any further involved either, I know exactly what I'm doing. I'll call Roy when I find something useful, during that time, please tell him not to contact me" Nayla said.
"Let us help you, Nay!" said Thomas.
"Of course, I'll ask for your help later" Nayla said.
"Then give me your phone!" ethan Pinta.
"For what?" ask Nayla.
"Save our numbers and we'll keep yours, too" Ethan said.
"Well," Nayla felt defeated and had no choice but to let them keep their mobile number on her phone.
After she finished exchanging mobile numbers, Nayla decided to return to the office.
"Contact us at any time, we will help you, we will also help all the ways to get useful information," Thomas said before Nayla ran her car, Nayla just nodded and left.
Upon arrival at the office, Nayla is surprised by Darwin's superior who has been in his room. As Adrian suspected, Darwin immediately recognized the photo of Nayla printed in the newspaper.
"We're just suing the person who published this news,!" darwin Dengus.
"No way,!" sangkal Nayla's. "Please don't do that, sir!" nayla Pinta.
"You don't have to think about the condition of this office, it won't have a big impact" Darwin said.
"I refuse to do it" Nayla said.
"Day,!" darwin Protest.
"Sir, not only me and this office are involved, but some unrelated people are also involved here" Nayla argued.
"Then what are you gonna do, Nay?" ask Darwin.
"Finding evidence that the news is fake" Nayla said.
"How?" said Adrian.
"In that case I need your help" replied Nayla looking at Adrian.
"Tell me, I'll do anything" Adrian said.
"Take over my job for a while. Anyway, my script is ready to be submitted if requested. And the deadline is still far away" explained Nayla.
"I'll do it all" replied Adrian.
"You can count on me, too, Nay," Darwin said.
"That's not gonna be forgotten, sir. Because Mr. Darwin is always on my side" Nayla said.
"You deserve to believe more than anyone, Nay," Darwin said.
"Over the next week, please don't contact me for any reason. If you want to keep calling me, just use the letter and leave it to the security guard in my apartment, you can do it, right?" please Nayla.
"I understand" replied Adrian.
"Okay" replied Drwin.
"Sure, sir," welcome Nayla.
Nayla says goodbye to leaving the office to return to her apartment.
Meanwhile, in a different place, Rory sat pensively in the lounge chair that was on the roof.
Being alone, and playing the guitar carelessly. Rethinking the attitude he had shown Nayla.
'Why am I behaving like that? Obviously he came because he needed an explanation, and he could also provide an explanation, but why am I acting like that?' inner Rory.
'Would I be better off contacting him? Or come to his apartment? But it was clearly against me, ' he continued.
Rory ruffled her hair and sighed softly.
"There's no point in you regretting what happened" chirped someone from behind Rory.
Rory directed her gaze to the source of the voice and smiled listlessly as soon as she knew Thomas had been standing there with his hands in his pants pocket.
"Everything happened so quickly and suddenly. But, I admit, Nayla's been better than you, '" Thomas said.
Rory bowed lethargicly justifying Thomas' words. However, undeniably, his heart churned when he saw the closeness of Nayla with the man he saw on the night of the festival.
What's more, Nayla looks familiar in the photos she sees. Although he also knew, the photo could have been engineered.
"I'm not going to teach you how you should act and behave, but I can't escape my role to remind you, don't assume about something you don't know the truth about" Thomas said.
Thomas pats Rory's back as soon as he leaves.
'He's the only person who can be wise here, is it because he's married that allows him to put his heart aside?' inner Rory.
Rory breathed heavily. His hand reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the phone which this time felt silent.
Rory still remembers clearly, a few days ago, her phone always reads with Nayla's message that always gives her a lot of questions.
The LDR relationship that had occurred between them, did not make Nayla waver. Rory scrolls through her phone and reopens photos of herself with Nayla.
'I have promised to take him to Venice, Tck,!' inner Rory smiled bitterly.
Rory spread her body by making her hand a pillow. His eyes looked up at the sky.
Until without realizing it, Rory fell asleep until the sky turned dark and felt a hand that shook his shoulder, trying to wake him up.
"Get in your room, Jo. You can get sick if you keep sleeping here" Kevin asked.
"Yes, I'll be in the room, go first,!" drive Rory.
"You haven't even eaten yet,!" kevn reminded me.
"I'm not hungry, come in, I'll be in the room in a minute" replied Rory.
"Jo_, what,,?" call Kevin.
"Please, I just want to be alone for now" Rory said.
"Well, I'll put the sandwich in your room, eat a little, though" Kevin hoped.
"Yes,!" answer Rory briefly.
Kevin left Rory alone again. In his solitude, Rory cupped his face with his own two palms, again exhaling a long breath that felt heavy.
Meanwhile, Nayla looks like she just came out of her apartment with a slight change in her appearance.
His long, strapped hair and head covered in a hat, and wearing back old glasses.
Nayla walks leisurely towards the minimarket. Trying to trace back the last traces he did before meeting Val.
'If I remember any more, that guy is not the one who is often seen around here. That means, the person was intentionally or asked someone to come here just for the plan he wanted to run, ' he thought.
Nayla goes around the minimarket buying a little something to avoid a suspicious impression.
"Is this all, Miss?" ask the cashier friendly.
"Yes, just this. At least this is all I remember" joked Nayla.
"Ah, miss, she could have. Maybe you need to shop around again to remember what you want to buy?" friendly bargain.
"No, thank you. I can come back at any time if I need anything else" Nayla refused.
The guard nodded in understanding and smiled amiably.
"Thank you" he said as Nayla finished paying.
Nayla nodded and left the minimarket back to her apartment.
Along the way home, Nayla remembers everything that happened with Val.
'I think I need help if I want to freely see the CCTV footage installed here, ' he said.
'I'd better check the pictures one more time, and tomorrow I have to start looking for information about all the men, ' Nayla thought.
Not wanting to waste too much time, Nayla sped up her steps to reach the apartment.
Nayla put all the photos on her desk. Look carefully at the photos, and try to recall things related to all the photos in front of him.
