THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
66. Surprising Broadcast

In a building that is holding a live broadcast event, which is visited by many people, most of whom are fans of FM groups

Representatives from various television media and newspapers were also present at the event. Even some important people from music agencies attended the event.

Rory and team get out of the car. It caused a small commotion where they scrambled to highlight Rory and ask various questions.

But the tightened guard made their attempts fail to get close to Rory. They immediately entered the building and entered the waiting room until the event began.

How shocked Rory was when he entered the waiting room, his parents were there waiting for them to arrive. A gentle smile greeted them.

"Mom,,, Papa,," welcome Rory.

"How did you guys get here?" kevin asked in surprise.

Both of Rory's parents hug Kevin and Rory in turn.

"I can explain everything, Ma" Rory said, opening her voice.

"Mama didn't come for your explanation, mama believed in you. Everything you do is well thought out" Gloria smiled.

"Did you tell me everything, Kevin?" accuse Rory.

"Basically, you're still naughty" said Gloria pulling Rory's ear.

"Aahhh,,, Ma, " complained Rory rubbed his ear.

" Kevin just covered it all up, knowing you wouldn't like it" Gloria said.

"From that, what about the woman's current state? Is she okay?" ask Vincen (father of Rory).

"He_,,," Rory bit his lower lip.

"You didn't break up because of this, did you?" gloria Sela.

"Deadlock is not," replied Rory quickly.

"But_,," Rory again hung up his sentence. Don't know how to tell it.

"Sorry to interrupt, auntie," interrupted Thomas politely.

"May I explain it?" tawar Thomas's.

"Why?" gloria asked confusedly.

Gloria looked at Rory who was now avoiding her gaze. But it showed a sadness on his face. Seeing the unusual, Gloria finally nodded and followed Thomas sitting on the sofa in the corner of the room.

Thomas carefully told everything in brief. Both Vincen and Gloria widened their eyes.

"So he's still being treated?" gloria asked involuntarily shedding her tears.

"really. We still keep today's show a secret from him. It would be better if he didn't know about this plan" Thomas said.

"Is he okay?" ask Vincen.

"When we left, his condition had improved" Thomas replied.

"Now whatever Rory's going to do, I'm going to support her. It doesn't matter what happens next" Gloria said.

"Well, I'll do the same thing" said Vincen.

"But, is he gonna be okay you guys just leave him alone,?" ask Gloria.

"Home time, Kevin will be back first. In addition, the doctor who treated her was her own brother, so it alleviated our concerns" Thomas said.

"Thomas, it's time,"

Martin's voice interrupted them, severing their chatter just like that.

Gloria has a lot of questions that she will ask, unfortunately the time they have is not enough to explain in more detail about what happened.

Even so, both of Rory's parents began to be able to feel a little how it happened.

"I'll be there soon" said Thomas.

"Sorry, Om, Auntie, I resigned first, sorry I can't go into more detail than this" Thomas said.

"You can explain that later, Thomas. Go," Gloria replied.

Thomas nodded and bowed politely before leaving the two of them.

"Just this time I heard there was a woman who was willing to do such reckless things just for someone important to her. And that's our son" Vincen murmured.

"So, you mean, papa approved of their relationship before even meeting the woman Jo loved?" ask Gloria.

"Of course, that proves she's a good woman. Even Jo also to do this.The most important thing is, Jo loves him," said Vincen.

"I agree with that" said Gloria. "Let's see what Jo's going to say in public about this" he said

They came out of the room and sat in the audience seats, joining some other important people. Awaiting the start of the event that will be broadcasted directly.

A host entered the room, said a few words and invited Rory and his team to sit down on the sofa that had been provided.

"Ace, is it true that you are in a relationship with a woman who was photographed according to rumors circulating?"

Someone's voice interjected before the host returned to speak. A voice coming from the row of the spectator bench with a note in his hand. A few cameras were focusing on his face.

"What makes you want to be in a relationship with a woman who can't even be called good?" the other timpal.

"Who is this woman?" another timpal.

"Please stay calm" the host asked. "We'll talk about that, so please stay calm" the host said.

"Your reputation can even be destroyed in an instant if you are with such a woman" continued another, ignoring the host.

"True, are you going to destroy your reputation just for such a woman?" one of Rory's fans chanted.

Rory clenched her hands, preparing to burst out her emotions, as Thomas's hand was on her shoulder to calm her down, making her undo her intentions.

Rory looked at the host who looked confused by the suddenly boisterous situation and flocked Rory with questions to ignore her who was the present host.

Rory immediately raised her hand, gesturing for calm. And sure enough, those who were originally in a fuss, just turned quiet.

"I will answer all the questions you ask me" Rory said as the atmosphere turned silent.

"But, before that, just give me ten minutes to tell you something" Rory said.

"Woman, is that?" Rory said then circulated her gaze with a cynical look.

"You guys call her a bad woman? And he doesn't deserve to be by my side? So who do you think deserves better than him?" behold.

"She is Nayrela_,,,"

"Some say he's just a karyaw_,,," someone cut Rory's explanation but Rory quickly returns the moment to the question.

"I'm not done talking, yet" Rory's cut raised her voice. " So please listen, and once I'm done you can ask me anything" Rory said.

Everyone who was there was silent for a moment.

"He is Nayrela. All I know is that he was just a regular employee at a book printing press office. She is a woman just like you here, an ordinary woman who wants to fall in love and be loved" pause.

"If we love each other? Where's the fault? Is it just because he is an ordinary person? Until he doesn't deserve to be loved? Even if that person is me who loves him?" ask Rory.

"Do you think he just wants the popularity and wealth I have? Well then, tell me about one thing," Pinta Rory.

Rory took a long breath.

"I'm going to show you something, look carefully, listen and you can judge afterwards" Roy said.

Rory turned to Martin who immediately turned on his laptop that had been connected to the screen behind them.

CCTV footage showing Nayla walking into an alley where several men were sitting was recorded.

After the CCTV footage was shown, the sound of the recording that Rory managed to record through Nayla was played.

They listened to all the sentences said by the voices of several different men. Which is very clear that they deliberately set Nayla up on someone's orders. They're engineering all the photos they're spreading.

They even heard voices as the men tortured Nayla. The sound of agonizing groans of pain sounded heartbreaking, and ended up in a loud voice like a phone that was violently knocked down.

The footage reverts back to CCTV showing Rory and her friends arriving in the same alley and exiting after a few minutes with Nayla in her arms unconscious and body scarred.

Those who saw it unconsciously shed tears. Some people closed their mouths, and stared in disbelief at what he saw.

"When you are busy with your blasphemy against him, he is busy looking for a way to clear my name" Rory said again withholding his anger. Eliminate their formal attitude. "Sacrificing himself for proof that I was just in the trap" he added.

"And you, who have taken me as my enemy, have only cornered people who have done nothing, including corrupting us,"

Rory's scathing expression silenced everyone present at the event. No one can make his voice.

"You're worried about my reputation? Is that what's important to you? If I love her I'll have to sacrifice it all, then that's what I'll do,"

"I know, I was able to get to this point it was all thanks to the support of all of you who became our fans. But, tell me! Was it a mistake to love her?"

"If you turn your back on hating us, we are ready to accept it. Even if you want us to quit the music world though, we'll be happy to do it" Rory said.

"Well, you can ask questions" said Rory.

Everyone lowered their heads, no one dared to open their voices and raise their heads.

Until the question session was over, they just kept quiet and let Rory and her friends back in the waiting room for a special meeting session with several agencies.

Rory sat leaning in the waiting room and covered her face with her hands. He shakes when someone touches his shoulder.

"Let me be like this for a second, Thomas. I just need time to breathe" Rory said without lowering her hand.

His hand on his shoulder just squeezed gently. Recognizing the hand on her shoulder, Rory raised her hand and saw her parents looking at her gently with tears.

Rory failed to hide her face that had been soaked by tears.

"Mama,," Rory sizzled her face and wiped her tears.

Gloria immediately hugged Rory and rubbed Rory's back lovingly.

"You love an amazing woman, Jo. Mama will always support you" whispered Gloria.

"But my mother apologized for not being able to see him now. We have to leave immediately. Because of your confession, some people who cooperated with your father, contacted us. And we have to finish it" Gloria said.

"I understand" replied Rory.

Gloria lets go of his embrace and hugs Kevin before leaving.

"You can call him if you're worried, Rory," Kevin said after the two men disappeared from their sight.

"No," answered Rory shaking her head. " I believe him, and I believe in you, too" he continued.

"Well, I'm going to the hospital now" Kevin said.

Rory agreed. Because she was really worried about Nayla. The sooner Kevin returned to the hospital, the less worry in his heart.

Now only five of them are still left there after Kevin left.

Kevin wore a mask and a hat that covered part of his face and slipped out, as much as possible avoiding the media returning to the hospital.
