Chapter 51. Amazed part 3

 Naya stood still in front of the coffee vending machine.  Naya fumbled over the contents of her pants pocket.  But there was nothing she could hold on to.  Naya is annoyed with herself.  How could she forget to bring money?  Gosh, this is so embarrassing.  Especially when Naya wants to treat Adi to coffee.

 Ugh, later Adi thought she was just making excuses because she didn't want to buy a drink for Adi.  It would be even worse if Adi thought that she was stingy.

 Naya, how can you be careless like this?  Embarrassing.  Suddenly Adi's voice startled Naya who was confused.

 "What's wrong?"

 "Ehmm, nothing. Can I go back to the dorm for a moment?"

 "Why?"

 "Ah, that ... Ehmm, actually I missed my money," Naya showed a silly smile.

 "Hahaha, then I'll buy it for you."

 "No, no. I should be buying it for you."

 "It's okay, no problem."

 What?  Did he think I wasn't buying a drink for him?  Duh, I'm embarrassed.

 "Don't think about it. Let's just say you still owe me a cup of coffee. You can treat me another time. How?"

 "Ah, okay," said Naya softly.

 Thanks, Nay, I have a reason to see you again. Inner Adi.

 They sat on long wooden chairs not far from the coffee machine.  Adi starts talking about the theme of next week's photoshoot.  Naya listened attentively to Adi's every word.

 Adi is happy that Naya is learning fast.  Naya was able to accept all of Adi's explanations and was able to demonstrate them.

 Naya stood in front of Adi while practicing the poses that Adi had taught her.  Adi sits casually looking at Naya.  The garden lights shone on Naya beautifully.  Adi then took his cell phone and started taking pictures of Naya, the light of the garden lights gave a beautiful atmosphere in the night.  Make Naya's photo so perfect.

 "Great, you're getting better at posing."

 Naya took a sip of coffee before starting to answer.  Naya exhaled long enough, then smiled.

 "Thanks to you. Because of you, I can learn a lot. Thank you."

 "You're welcome."  Adi smiles.  "You want to see the results? Please, Sit down."

 Adi motioned Naya to sit beside him so that Adi could show the results of his shot.  Naya was amazed to see the results.  She appears to be posing properly.  Naya did not think the results would be that good.

 "Very good," Naya's eyes lit up.

 "It's better if you take the picture using the professional camera."

 "You are great. I think it can be good like this because you took the pictures."

 "You praise too much."

 "It's true. I'm grateful to know a professional photographer and as good as you are. Thank you, Adi."  Naya said sincerely.

 "Yes."  Adi is happy to get a good response from Naya.  "Hmm, how about I take you back to the dormitory now. The night is getting late, it's not good for your health if you stay out too long. It's cold enough."

 "Yes, come on."

 Naya got up and started walking forward.  Adi took off his jacket, then slid it over Naya's back.  Adi did this because he saw Naya cross her arms across her chest, her hands rubbing the skin of her arms which had begun to be pricked by the cold night.

 Naya turned to Adi who had walked parallel to him.

 "So it's not cold. You have to take care of your health. You can't get sick during the competition. After all, if you are sick, who will visit your daddy in the hospital?"  Adi's advice.

 'Adi said rightly.  I have to be able to take care of myself.  It would be troublesome if I got sick. '  Inner Naya.

 "Thank you."

 "Ough ... I suddenly felt sick."

 "Why? Why suddenly? What hurts? Come on, sit down first, so you feel more comfortable."  Naya was getting worried.

 "No, I feel nauseous because today you repeatedly say thank you. I seem to have an overdose of thanks from you" Adi chuckled.

 "Ah, that ..."

 "Shhh ... Okay. Forget it. Come on, hurry up, you will get cold later."  Adi reflexively grabbed Naya's hand and pulled her forward, making Nata inevitably follow his footsteps.

 Naya was quite surprised by Adi's treatment.  Without Naya noticing, she was secretly starting to feel comfortable with Adii's presence around her.

 'Adi is so sweet, gentle, and caring.  It feels so peaceful next to Adi. '  Naya said to herself as she kept looking at Adi's back.  Her hand was still intertwined.

 Adi stopped his footsteps when they reached the front gate of the dormitory.  Adi then realized that he had been holding Naya's hand.

 "Sorry I did not mean to ..."

 "I know. Alright, I'm in. Thanks for today."  Naya cuts Adi's words.

 "Over again?"  Adi's expression is annoyed.

 "Hahaha sorry. Alright, be careful on the road."

 "Get some rest. I'm home now. Bye."

 "Okay, bye."

 The next day, the competition participants were in the studio for the second photoshoot.  Adi was more excited when it was Naya's turn.  Adi smiled, then moved closer to Naya.

 "Cheer up, do it at ease. There's no need to rush, okay?"  Adi said in a half-whisper.  His hand pretended to fix the wrinkles on Naya's shirt.

 "Ready."

 "Come on, we do it," said Adi.

 Meanwhile, not far from the shooting position, a pair of sharp eyes continued to pay attention to Naya.  She disliked him even more because she saw the closeness of Naya and Adi.

 Naya gets ready at her place.  Naya started with a smile on her lips.  A moment later Naya was drifting into a neat pose.  Her body is so fitting in positioning her limbs.

 Naya was able to do a photoshoot without looking the least bit overwhelmed.  Now Naya is calmer.

 Adi smiles while shooting.  He was satisfied with Naya's achievement.  Adi then did the last photoshoot.

 "Okay, one more."

 Naya immediately changed her pose.  Naya looked ahead, with a gentle gaze.

 Cekrik!

 Kriyetttt ...

 "Kyaaa ... !!!"

 "Watch out!"  Shouted Adi.

 What happened?  Why is anyone screaming?  OMG ...

 ***

 Spoilers in the next chapters ...

 Naya tried to remember the previous incident.  The last thing she remembered was that she was in the guard post of Nusantara High School.  'Then I tried to make my way through the rain and ... Yes, I remember everything,' Naya thought.  So, this man?  Abhimanyu Mahardika?

 My hand, why is he holding my hand?  So I'm not dreaming?  But the reality that carried over to the dream?  Wait, why is Abhimanyu Mahardika holding my hand?  Could it be him?  Hah!

 Naya covered her mouth with her other hand.  Naya shook her head.

 No, if he's the Abi I know, why was his attitude so indifferent to me?  And seem like you don't want to know me?  He also didn't want to admit to knowing me in the past.  No, they are different people but why does my heart say different?

 Naya held his shoulder, it hurt a little.  Could it be because he fell when he passed out earlier?  Naya gave a small rub on his shoulder.  A moment later Naya looked quickly at Abhimanyu's shoulder.  Naya remembered something.  He saw something strange with Abhimanyu's shoulder, he saw it before losing consciousness.

 Naya's hand was slowly pulled from Abi's grip but her slight movement made Abi writhe.  Naya doesn't want to take the risk.  Finally, Naya used her other hand to reach Abi's shoulder.  Naya wants to make sure, is Abi's shoulder hurt too?  If so, why could he have the same wound as Adi?  Could they be the same person?

 Ugh, a little more.  Naya almost reached out.  Naya changed her position to sit so that it was easier to see.  Naya carefully touched Abi's upper arm but it could not be felt.  Naya then grabbed the collar of the shirt, which looked loose, because Abi didn't button his shirt perfectly.  Two shirt buttons are left untied.

 'A little bit more.'  Inner Naya.  Her position is very difficult because Naya has to rotate her body and use her right elbow to maintain balance.

 Naya then forced a little, she pulled Abi's collar further, Naya could see Abi's arm but it was still unclear.  Naya pulled him even stronger and ...
