THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
88. Unexpected.

A live broadcast event attended by many people filled a building where the event was held.

The same thing happened outside the building where they were watching a live broadcast where the singer they idolized would appear through the big screen outside.

A question and answer event where those who are guest stars will be given questions in turns and the opportunity to listen to their stories behind the scenes.

On the other hand, Rory and his friends still did not leave for the event. They were still preparing themselves when Nayla came.

"You're really late" said Martin when Nayla arrived.

"I'm sorry, there's something I've taken care of, and I didn't expect it to take much longer" Nayla said gasping for air.

"Please take care of him!" pinta Martin to a woman who had been waiting for Nayla's arrival.

"He will help you with your clothes and makeup" Martin said.

Nayla nodded and complied as the woman led her into the dressing room.

####A few days before.

Martin gave the schedule of events to Rory and others including himself. The written schedule is one day before the event to be attended by Nayla.

"I just need to come, right?" ask Nayla.

"It's not just Nay, but you're also going there with us. Which means, you'll be backstage. Even if you want to sit down to see them, of course VIP seats are reserved for you" Martin explained.

"Ehhh,,,?" Nayla exclaimed in shock then looked at Rory for an explanation.

"Right, so come here before the allotted time to get ready here!" pinta Rory's.

"good. I'm not gonna complain about this. But, instead, the next night you'll have to come with me to attend my show" Nayla replied.

"Howyou?" rory replied asking.

"Yes. And you all have to come" said Nayla.

"No problem" said Martin.

"I'll arrange it," he added.

"What exactly did you ask us to be there?" ask Kevin.

"There's a lot I haven't said. One of them I'll say there," said Nayla.

"You don't have to say what you don't want to say, you know?" welcome Thomas.

"I know. But, this is the thing I have to say," replied Nayla.

"Alright, we agree" Martin replied.

Nayla's ringer interrupted their conversation, leaving all eyes on Nayla.

Not wasting any time, Nayla checks her phone, 'Adrian' on the screen of Nayla's phone.

"Wait a minute, I have to accept this" Nayla said as she walked away, away from them.

Nayla stands not far from the door to receive a call from Adrian, which she does not realize, Kevin steals to hear what Nayla is talking about.

Kevin reasoned to his friends to contact someone and stand by the door, where Nayla's voice was faintly heard by him.

"Yes, Adrian?" greet Nayla after putting the phone in her ear.

"Have you checked my apartment? Shouldn't be there?" nayla.

"I haven't moved any of the stuff you put there, yet" he added.

"All right, I'll be there" Nayla said again after a moment of silence.

'Who is Adrian always called Nayla? Why do they look so close? Even Nayla gave me the spare key to her apartment, ' Kevin thought.

Kevin immediately walked away from the door, rejoining his friends.

'Is the thing you want to say later also related to this?' thought Kevin.

Nayla approaches them and apologizes for having to leave due to a sudden affair with her job.

They soon agreed to realize Nayla's position was not easy either, at least that's what they thought. They stared at Nayla's back as she drove Rory to the front door.

###### Back to life now.

In the dressing room, Rory and the others had finished with their clothes. Ready to go.

"Hey, what do you think Nayla will say tomorrow?" ethan asked broke the silence after the makeup artist came out.

"Is it about a dead brother? Chris isn't his brother? Or,,,,?" Ethan glanced at Rory who still looked calm.

"Or what?" asked Rory raising her eyebrows.

"He likes other people." said Kevin.

"SIMMONS,,,!!!"

"Aakh,,,!" kevin exclaimed as his head was pinned to Thomas.

"What the hell? Why are you pinning my head?" Kevin Decak.

"You're saying something silly without basis or without conscious thought?" grunts Thomas upset.

"I'm kidding," Kevin said.

"And your jokes aren't funny" said Rory.

"If you're done, get out, hurry up,"

Martin's voice interrupted their petty quarrel, making them stop arguing and immediately come out.

"Nayla's not done yet?" rory asked as he approached Martin.

"Maybe in a moment" replied Martin.

Shortly after Martin replied, the locker room door opened, accompanied by a makeup artist who came out of the room. Behind him, Nayla came out with a different appearance.

Instantly, all of the eyes that were there were staring at him. Showing a face full of admiration.

Rory's prepared evening dress looks perfect with only Nayla wearing it.

"Well, I'm grateful that in Paris Nayla wasn't wearing a dress" Ethan said.

"Why?" welcome Thomas not to distract him from Nayla.

"If she looked like this, how many eyes would a man look at her? And it ends with somebody's head burning" Ethan said with a sarcasm.

The sound of laughter filled the silence that had occurred. Rory approached Nayla and offered her hand. Smiling sweetly, Nayla immediately welcomed Rory's hand.

"Is this not excessive? Isn't this a question and answer event?" ask Nayla.

'Rory wants to propose to you, how can you look ordinary? And that's in public, ' Martin's inner.

"Why do I wish you hadn't been with Rory?" sela Nathan smiled ignorantly.

"You look stunning" praised Kevin.

"Even more than that" Thomas continued.

"You guys look even more radiant, when compared to me," Nayla replied beginning to blush.

"Alright, All right, now we better get going" Martin said.

They immediately got into the prepared car. For a moment, Nayla gets into the car they're going to ride in, and brings her aunt to Rory.

"How many cars are actually in the building where you live?" ask Nayla.

"Why?" rory replied asking.

"Isn't this different from what is commonly used?" ask Nayla.

"We have three to use when we go together" said Thomas, who heard Nayla's question.

"Each of us has one, including a driver and some who work with us" Kevin said.

"Haha,, I see, the life of a star seems difficult huh?" nayla smiled stiffly.

They just laughed enjoying the surprised reaction Nayla showed. During the trip, they occasionally talked about light things to fill the silence.

Nayla looked out the window when they arrived. The crowd outside the car makes it a little uncomfortable. Moreover, so many camera highlights that lead to the car he rode.

Martin is down to lead. Kevin came out and smiled. Thomas is out after Kevin, followed by Ethan and Nathan.

"Hey, Hey, look. Ace seems to have brought his girlfriend, too,"

With that one sound, they shone their cameras at Rory who had just got out of the car.

Rory reached out her hand, and smiled gently at Nayla.

"All will be well, you trust me right?" rory said when she saw Nayla flinching.

Slowly, Nayla grabbed Rory's hand, until without realizing it, her hand held firmly Rory's hand.

"It's so pretty,"

"They're very compatible"

"Perfect pair"

"He's charming. There's no one better suited than him,"

Some of the comments rang out as Rory and Nayla stepped towards the building with Nayla's hands in Rory's arms.

"Yeah,,, they're really the perfect couple,"

"NAYRELA, I WILL BE YOUR FAN,,,!!"

The voices of some youths shouted out loudly. Show their indecision. Even some teenagers and women say the same thing.

"Ma Cheri, your hands are so cold. As I recall, the temperature in the car was not so cold," Rory's tease whispered.

"Don't tease me," Nayla murmured.

"I can't help it, your grip is strong enough, you know?" whispered Rory again.

Nayla widened her eyes, and immediately saw Rory's arm. Sure enough, his sleeve was still worn by the grip of his hand.

"Sorry," hissed Nayla loosened her grip.

"You can do it again if you want" Rory said.

Nayla's face began to turn red, making her turn away.

"Smile, Ma Cheri, they're still seeing you. But, do not give your sweet smile to the young man who was shouting" said Rory.

"Hooo, isn't that good? I can make your fans grow," seduced Nayla.

With a quick and sudden movement, Rory pulled Nayla's hand, brought her closer and placed her hand on Nayla's waist.

"Are you cheating on me?" rory asked, looking into Nayla's eyes.

The proximity of Rory and Nayla attracts the attention of all who are there. They even managed to take a picture when Rory put a hand on Nayla's waist.

"They're so sweet,"

Nayla brushed off Rory's hand, and put her hand back in her arms. His face turned red as many of those who saw Rory's attitude towards him cheered.

Finally, they arrived in the waiting room. Waiting for them to be called by the host.

"Truly, you two managed to attract attention" Ethan said.

"It looks like you two are the brightest now" Thomas continued.

"Basically, they are fans of all of you" said Nayla

Shortly after, Martin appeared from behind the door. Asking Rory and the others to prepare.

"I have to leave you for a while now" whispered Rory.

"Hey, don't make it sound like you're going away for long" Nayla smiled.

"You are only a few meters away, and that's also a moment" he added.

"Stay with Martin! And don't do anything that'll worry me" Rory said.

"I promise," answered Nayla nodding her head.

Rory gently rubbed Nayla's face before passing away. Martin accompanied them briefly before they headed for the stage, a little away from Nayla which made Nayla not hear anything Martin had to say to them.

"I forgot to say one thing. They gave me the sudden news, and it wasn't confirmed yet because they made a mistake to schedule it. They said to me, another guest star is coming and it's a book writer" Martin said.

"I've contacted his assistant, and he said it would be difficult if the schedule change was too sudden. But he will try to persuade the author to come and be your interlocutor later" he continued.

They nodded in unison, a sign of understanding what to do.

"Who's author?" ask Kevin.

Martin smiled, then looked at Thomas, Ethan and Nathan alternately before replying.

"NILIES,"
