Crazy Love of the Actor
Section 23: Bad News

[Syil, can you meet? sorry to interrupt your holiday yes.] Bang Aryo The director asked, it has been two days Syila holiday, because the holiday ration has not been taken, then Syila chose a holiday first for the last two days.

[What the hell is Bang? I'll take a day off tomorrow.] Syila meant to refuse.

[Soal ... meeting first, it is very important Syil, urgent. Andi also yes.] Syila was quite curious about the words of Bang Aryo.

[Ok deh, but afternoon yes, I finished some deadlines first.] After the matter with Izraa he thought was over, it had been one day not meeting Izraa made him a little happy.

Time passed, Syila was done with her writing work, she was ready to go to the meeting location with Bang Aryo, while Andi also went there by herself with her car, she was not with Syila, she was not with, so the three of them agreed to meet at a restaurant that was quite private.

“Bang, Ndi, sorry late, jammed earlier.” Syila came the last.

“Yes, it's okay, you pesen what used to be, we will have a long conversation nih.” Bang Aryo said.

“Ok.” Syila ordered enough food and drinks, then after the waiter left she asked again.

“Bang, what's the matter?”

“Ok, I also did not open to Andi, let you both hear at the same time, so this is Syil, Ndi, Izraa has actually not been in shooting for two days.”

“Hah? Seriously?” Andi was shocked, Syila drank the water that had come first and then choked.

“Iya, I tried to contact but could not, everyone was dizzy, then we filmed a scene that Izraa did not exist, but because he was the main role, a scene without him was very little, he said, I keep trying to contact him, only this morning he received my phone.”

“Good dong, what does he say?” Again Andi who responded, Syila just continued to listen carefully while stubbornly.

“Good but also not.”

“Kok is?” Andi curious.

“He said he has emailed his resignation letter as the main actor of this film, he is also willing to pay Penalty for his decision.”

“Dead lu!” Andi reflex spoke harshly.

Syila fell silent and was unable to say anything.

“Lu try to meet him yet? You can talk about it all right first, right?”

“Udah Ndi, once he calls, do not use long, I go directly to his apartment, he wants to talk to me, but finally he remains on the decision to resign, he said, he even prepared the Lawyer so that this problem quickly finished fairly.”

“She's been very intent anyway, Cil.”

“Gue go first yes, sorry.” Syila got up and then just left the Producer and Manager, even drinks and food orders she also did not get to the table.

He instead of wanting to run away from the problem, he would face Izraa himself, this must be because of their problem so Izraa did this, hopefully this is just a threat, Syila will try to persuade Izraa.

After driving for twenty minutes, he reached Izraa's apartment, within a single push of the bell, Izraa opened the door immediately, his behavior is like a teenager who waits for his lover to come home and apologize after a previous fight, even though they are not dating, let alone dating, just make friends.

“I have already heard your decision to leave the film, may I know what the reason is?” Syila tried to make small talk.

“Drink first.” Izraa has made Syila jasmin tea, from the smell of it.

Syila just stared at the tea, there was a fear to drink it.

“Why? you scared?”

“No, why should I be afraid?”

“You are not confused why yesterday could just fall asleep and not be able to move when I carried to the room?” Izraa suddenly brought that up again.

“I ...”

“You know, your habit of rubbing your face is a dangerous thing.” Izraa said something that made Syila confused.

“What do you mean?”

“You turned out to be just a clever theory, in practice you are a fool.”

“Za, don't overdo it!” Syila was getting upset.

“You once brought Ketamine into one of your novels as a dangerous powder, but you don't know its shape and smell either, do you?”

“ What does this have to do with our conversation?”

“Because you know your bad habits that always wipe the face, I so easily put you to sleep, even without committing criminal acts such as sprinkling something into your drink.”

“I don't understand, how can?”

“I sprinkled Ketamine powder on my hand, when we shake hands, you accidentally inhaled the powder, because of your bad habit of always wiping the face, you know, it only takes less than half an hour you fall asleep and limp, of course Ketamine in high doses that you breathe it.”

“You!” Syila was upset and was about to hit Izraa, but Izraa caught Syila's hand and threw Syila's body onto the sofa.

“Don't you dare come near me again or show yourself in front of me again, or I won't be like yesterday, hesitate to do bad to you.” Izraa sat back down in annoyance.

“Za, I know you're a good person, you didn't even do anything yesterday, you were originally good, I'm sure of that, so help me yes, back to my movie.”

“Am I so important to you that you beg this?”

“Yes, you're the most appropriate person to be the player, can't be any other.” Syila continued to persuade, even though she had just found out that she had been bullied by Izraa until she could fall asleep and drown at that time.

“I can't.”

“Why? is it because of our problems? In that case, I won't come to the set and let you focus.”

“How could that happen, you caused this problem and want to run away?”

“Not that Za, I just want you back that's it.” Losing all of Syila's self-esteem, she kept trying to persuade Izraa.

“Alright, if you want me to return to your film, I have a condition.”

“Good, what is it?” Syila did not hesitate to ask.

“You sure you can do it?”

“As long as it does not violate the laws of the State and the laws of God, I will try to fulfill it.”

“Alright, I want you ... so my girlfriend!”

“I-it violates God's law, in Islam we are not allowed to date.”Syila said nervously.

“I just want to date, I won't do anything you don't allow on your body, I will hold back as hard as I can, but stay by my side as the woman I want.”

“Can't, we'll both fall, Za.”

“Can, at least if I can't enjoy your body, but I can feel the turmoil, the turmoil they felt in adolescence, the great turmoil of desire to be on the side of the desired woman, she said, you know, it feels so good to see your broken hair.”

Syila pulled her headscarf to keep it tightly closed, remembering that yesterday Izraa had seen her hair because it had been removed when she woke up.

“Za, I can't date, you know, muslim women can't ...”

“It was because they did not heed God's orders, that Muslim women were forbidden to date.”

“I don't care! I just want us to date, I didn't ask you to sleep with me, did I? I just want us to date, that's all!”

“Za, what you feel is just a mere lust, Za. See, in every word you never say that you love or love me, do you? you always say you want me, many times you say. It's because there's no love and affection in your heart for me, you just want my body, it's lust!” Syila was getting upset.

“You think I'm not mature enough to know that? I knew clearly it was lust, the only thing in this world that I could not feel before, teenage lust, adult lust and debauchery for meeting the woman we wanted! I felt it after a dozen years of waiting, it was all just you! Only you can I feel it!”

“Za, horrified me, if we don't meet for long, you'll forget me, you'll meet another woman and finally don't want me anymore.”

“If it were that easy, of course I wouldn't be this crazy to want you! I told you, the thing is I can't identify the other gender that makes me want it the way I want you! You are really stupid or pretend to be stupid, anyway!” Izraa said loudly for being annoyed.

“I can't! Sorry.”

“Is it because you're still waiting for Kevin?”

“Hei! Why are you carrying his name! He has nothing to do with our problem.”

“There, you said earlier that Muslim women should not date, but why are you dating Kevin, is your belief flexible? If Kevin doesn't want you you can date me while you really want you you can't date?”

“Be careful what you say! Kevin wants me but we're stuck in a situation!” Syila.

“What situation makes a man leave the woman he loves waiting in uncertainty!”

“Kevin has nothing to do with our problem, back to the problem we are talking about!”

“My decision is done, you want me to go back to your movie, then be my girlfriend, period.”

“Then, my decision is also unanimous, you will not get what you want, my heart is not for a lustful person like you.”

“So you want my heart too? you want me to love?” Izraa scoffed.

“Not that point sir!” Syila pointed at Izraa's face.

“Then what Miss? If I could give you my heart, would you give your life to me?”

“I'm not interested in your heart, it's essentially” Syila hit Izraa with hurtful words.

“Alright, means we are at the end of this discussion, please come out, My lawyer will take care of the accuser that I have to pay, hopefully you can get a better player than me.” Izraa walked into her room leaving Syila just like that.

Syila looked at Izraa's back with a look of hate, not should Syila be stuck in a dime like this, in her heart, she would look for a player who was better than Izraa, just look at it, Syila will prove that Izraa will fall, not her!

…

“Lu sure we are looking for a new player?” Andi asked, the two of them were already in Syila's apartment.

“Iya.”

“It's only a month away from filming Syil kelar, when we start all over again? 6 More months we're like crazy people chasing filming, who's playing all that cost?”

“Izraa will pay the penalty.”

“That's to the office, if another player? Hanum has already built up his chemistry with Izraa, you think he wants to start all over again? continue other players also not necessarily.”

“If Hanum doesn't want to, we change him too.”

“No way, he's a Producer, I know it's from the grapevine of people at the same time, so it's a little arrogant.” Andy explained.

“think it later, now we focus on finding players first.”

“We persuade first yuk.”

“Lu thought I was from nowhere! I was in a hurry to go to his apartment Izraa.”

“Oh that, trus?” Andi curious.

“Yes he rejected my proposal, he even hgajuin terms in order to return to the film.”

“What are the terms?”

“She ... she wants me .. ih my amused oath!”

“What?”

“He wants me to be his girlfriend.”

“Mampus lu!” Andi's upset.

“Will?”

“No, yaudah, I try another negoin deh, you focus on finding a replacement artist, anyway do not let you date him, can be gloomy your future, you, because she's the famous anti-marriage!”

“Hah? Gossip again?”

“Yes, he was once famous likes men, then famous too, most anti-marriage.”

“Gossip times, about him like men only we already know, if it is not real.” Syila instead of defending she was just talking facts.

“Yes, if that's gossip. But, if about her anti-marriage, this is because she talked to herself first when interviewed.”

“Oh yes, he said what?”

“He was asked by one of the reporters at a press conference about his film, then someone asked, he planned when to get married, then he answered, he said, if he has no marriage plan in the near or long term.”

“Oh, that's a diplomatic answer.”

“That's why don't cut my talk first, Cil. Trus the journalist nanya again, about the ideal age he married, what age. Eh know not, he answered like this, he did not believe in marriage, so he might not get married, because of married choice, so he chose not to choose it.”

“Wah he is arrogant yes, dare to talk like that in Indonesia, where the eastern culture is thick and marriage for easterners is an obligation if it is old enough.” Syila is increasingly convinced not to make Izraa a part of her life, just fake dating her first, not wanting to make that a reality.

“Yaudah, now we focus, hopefully everything goes smoothly yes, Cil. I don't want him to be your toy for any reason!” Andi's protective soul started to come out again.

Is Syila capable of finding that player any time soon? although she was hesitant, but being the lover of an obviously arrogant person like Izraa was something more frightening, especially if her father and brother knew, especially if Kevin knew, that was the case, Shila would only be someone who licked his own spit.

Honestly because of this problem in Syila's mind, Kevin had never been there again, his mind was full of Izraa, Izraa's behavior was annoying because so cold he used to be, now he turned into warm even hot, now he turned into warm, Syila was afraid to imagine if she became Izraa's lover, surely her good name would be tarnished.
