Nayla arrives at her studio when it is noon. The girl had deliberately arrived late, because today she did not have a shooting schedule and after all she also had to tidy up her house first.
Nayla walks into her studio with a row of pastel blue. Actually, the girl's initial intention was to deliver the object containing the food to Riki's office, but because her assistant called and asked her to go to the studio immediately, her plan was canceled.
"Why did you ask me to come in such a hurry?"
Nayla asks Jojo, when they met on the studio set.
"There are clients waiting for you from earlier." said Jojo who was still busy with his work and did not turn to Nayla.
"Client?" Nayla's confused.
"Yes?"
"The client's problem, it's not supposed to be Password to me." Nayla wrinkled in wonder.
Jojo stopped his activities and approached Nayla, "Di Sandi is done. Now that he's waiting for you, he really wants to see you and he says you know each other."
Nayla narrowed her eyes, "Know each other?"
Jojo sighed in frustration, "don't ask too many questions, Nay. You go up to your room. Meet him, ask him what he needs until he waits for you and asks to meet... Udah hunted meet him, he's been waiting from earlier, you don't want it, it happened like yesterday repeated again?" Jojo reminded.
Nayla gasps at Jojo's words, she shudders back in view of her client's rampage yesterday.
"Yes, that's it." Nayla handed the bushel to her assistant.
"This what?" Jojo confused.
"That's food, please take you to Riki's office." Nayla quickly stepped into her room on the second floor.
Jojo is still confused, "Why should I, Nay?" the half yelled.
"Because you are the kindest and most helpful person." Nayla praises her best friend and disappears from behind her door.
"I've changed" Jojo replied with a look of frustration.
Why should he leave, he does not want to go to Riki's office, surely there he will meet with Aldi.
It was very curious that he threw the thing in his arms into the trash, and told Nayla that he had brought it.
But somehow, he was too heavy to do it. What because this is the request of his best friend, who has been very good and meritorious in his life.
Finally, with heavy steps, he walked out of the studio and rode his motorcycle to Riki's office.
:)
Nayla who was still standing at the door, frowned in surprise when she saw a woman in her room walking around while watching every corner in her study.
Nayla looked familiar with the face of the woman who had not yet noticed her arrival, but she was also a little confused, about where she had seen her.
"Sorry...."
Nayla exclaimed making the petite-looking woman turn to her.
"Hi..," the woman smiled kindly at Nayla and walked over to her.
Nayla frowned even more as the woman was already standing right in front of her and was still smiling. His brain was working hard considering who the woman was, could she be his old client or his old friend? Nayla is afraid of guessing wrong to make the woman disappointed. Because Nayla is very difficult to remember the face of people who are not so often met.
"Why are you quiet?" ask the girl.
Nayla's body gasped, "Ahhh, come sit down."
Nayla also led the girl to the chair and allowed her to sit down and walk around the table and sit in her chair.
"Well, I didn't expect, it turns out that you are very accomplished and your photos are also very aesthetic." the woman again exclaimed in praise of the work while looking at some of the awards that were in Nayla's workspace.
Nayla cleared her throat awkwardly, because she really did not recognize this girl, but why her attitude was as if they already knew each other, as if they had already known each other, but Nayla keeps trying to be relaxed and friendly because she is her client.
"Thank you, this is not an achievement to be proud of." said Nayla humbled.
"Don't go low" said the girl.
Nayla just smiled clumsyly at what she said, to be honest Nayla did not know what to react to. Even though Nayla is a friendly girl, she will still feel awkward with the person she first met.
"It seems you don't recognize me."
"Mmm?" Nayla was flabbergasted to hear his statement.
The girl smiled, "surely you are uncomfortable?.. introduce, my name is Yuki." Yuki extended her hand and Nayla welcomed the interior.
"Nayla..," he answered.
"You remember, the girl who was standing in front of Riki's apartment that night?..."
"That's me." said Yuki.
"Ahhhh, I remember now." Nayla exclaimed after recalling it, "Sorry well, that night I did not allow you to enter.. surely that time, you have been waiting for Riki?"
"Three hours."
Nayla's wide-eyed, "three hours?"
Yuki nodded.
"You must be so tired, wait for Riki to stand up." Nayla sympathizes.
"No pa-pa no Nay, I deserve it."
Nayla again contorted in surprise, "You mean?"
Yuki sighed with a look on her face that suddenly looked sad, "Riki hates me so much, Nay. He doesn't want me to interfere with his life anymore."
"Wait a minute.I'm not the type to understand theory. So, please explain slowly, so I can understand about your problem."
Yuki sighed softly, before explaining about her relationship with Riki.
Yuki is a transfer girl at Riki High School. The girl was attracted to Riki and began to approach him until finally Riki who was then cold personality finally melted on Yuki.
They were in a relationship, when they entered the third grade of High School until they went to college.
But, just as Yuki finished her first semester of college, the girl left Riki without the man knowing and Yuki came back after a few years to return to Riki.
Nayla sighed in annoyance, after hearing Yuki's story. she thought this girl was very self-destructive.maybe she wished Riki back to her after leaving her just like that, even though she still loves Riki very much.
So this was the reason, why that night Riki looked at Yuki hatefully. It turns out they were lovers.
"It's my fault. But I had no other choice at that time but to leave" he said.
"You should have explained your reasons to Riki, not to me." said Nayla.
"I tried, Nay, but it didn't work. He's always avoiding me."
"So...you mean?"
Nayla felt she knew where this girl was talking.
"Yes Nay, I'm asking you to please so I can talk to Riki, and explain everything." Yuki's face looks clear.
"I'm not sure I can do it" Nayla said.
"I beg you, Nay." Yuki clasped Nayla's hand, "i feel so guilty."
Nayla releases her hand from Yuki's grasp, "why are you asking for this, just like me?" Nayla's confused.
"Because you're a brother and close to Riki."
"I was close to him, but-
Yuki again grabbed Nayla's hand with a very pleading look.
"I know Riki still loves me so much, only he's a man who puts logic before his feelings... I want our relationship to be back to how it used to be."
Nayla breathed. His face seemed to doubt whether he should help Yuki or not, but he also could not bear to see her continuously begging like this.
"I'll try." said Nayla.
The look on Yuki's face immediately sparkled, after hearing Nayla's words.
"Thank you very much, Nay. You are very nice."
"Don't expect too much from me. I'm not sure I can convince Riki." said Nayla.
"No pa-pa, Nay. Whatever the result I will appreciate your every effort, but I'm sure, if Riki will definitely obey you. You're brothers."
Nayla is again shrouded in curiosity, why can this girl know, if she and Riki are brothers. If Riki had told him, it felt impossible, considering Riki had never considered him a brother back then.
"Friends?"
Yuki again extended her hand to Nayla and smiled kindly. A few seconds Nayla seemed to think, after that, she also returned her greeting.
"Friends" said Nayla, smiling too.
Although Yuki is a stranger she just met, Nayla is convinced that this girl is a good girl.
