Crazy Love of the Actor
Section 24: Selection
“Next!” Andi shouted, because the main role is the responsibility of Syila, so currently the audition is held by Syila in one of the studios in south Jakarta, Indonesia, casting was announced on social media of everyone associated with the film.
Already 8 people have so far been cast, from morning to 3 pm, none of them meet the expectations of Syila or Andi.
“Where is Shil? Not yet covered.” Andi asked, the last one was still just as bad.
“What is our target height huh? Ndi, try review again.”
“Again, tired of re-review mah, you aja gih! Some are handsome but less macho, some are macho but less handsome, once handsome and macho, the acting is ambiguous. The acting turn is good, but totally martial blind, man!” Andi is upset, he then goes to buy his favorite coffee.
“Gue definitely can, for sure!” Syila returned to review the casting video that they did today, honestly, she even knew, of the 8 people she was casting, no one even approached Izraa's acting.
“Where? can anyone replace him?” Andi came to bring iced coffee and snacks for them.
“But.” Syila stared at her laptop screen.
“Again lu?”
“Try contacting some agencies, who knows there are talented.”
“Syil! You know Izraa, right? he is a top first-class artist, although currently being dim and tends to be quiet job, but absolutely can not underestimate the ability of him.”
“GUE TAU!!” Syila shouted, it seems like she was upset, not because of Andi's words, but rather this difficult destiny.
“Syil ...” Andi hugged Syila who was about to cry.
“Ndi, I just want to film, this is a really good novel, I just want a good player as well, so why now so this?” Syila complained, this is the first time Andi saw Syila as lost hope.
“We pay a penalty yes, we just back away from this project.”
“Too expensive Ndi, dear also in fact. I love my novel given a chance to film.”
“But I also don't want you to give your life the same depraved people like that.”
“Lu think I want to too! moreover my heart still can't for anyone.”
“If about Kevin I also do not agree, even, about Izraa, they both do not pantes for your heart.”
“Gini very yes fate of my romance, whereas my novel is always happy ending, but why my love story is not happy ending? Always the ngenes. First love left because of another woman, I permit it too! Then now the guy who likes me, is not sane.”
“Iya, ngenes. Dah, marry ama Juna only, at will, he really loves ama lu.”
“Najis! What the hell are you! worse still if I am her, first she is spoiled child, she will not be able to be my protector, pinter, but absolutely can not be sandelin, can not tell me as well, can not tell me, which is right and wrong, because it is too dependent on me, so I feel heavy, let alone be a couple, can die standing.”
“Yes yes, also.” Andi just realized.
“Is it the same for you, how?”
“Gue slap ya your mouth! pull your word again! in the past when you were a toddler, I often helped nyokap you clean your diaper, I also have seen you, have seen also all your friends, feel married to your own children if we marry, fuck!”
Syila laughed loudly in her tears, she was also just joking, Andi likes women even though a little messy, but Syila is not a category that she can like as women, because from childhood they grew up together.
Syila took off Andi's embrace and prepared to go home, first enough for today, the target is three days, hopefully within three days Syila can get a replacement for Izraa.
“Where to Mbak?” Hanum turned out to come to the studio, Syila had not left the studio.
“What is it?”
“Undee not yet?”
“If you had, would my face be this quick?” Syila was still preparing to go home, all the equipment she put in her bag.
“Mbak!” Hanum suddenly made a loud noise.
“What the hell!”
“Izraa seriously out of this movie?”
“Iyaaa, if not seriously, why am I casting?! Funny lu.”
“Mbak, anyway we should be able to replace as soon as possible, because this film is very good, make mbak also an opportunity, if not dapet, please just the same Izraa.”
“Num! this film is good, the opportunity is also not only for me, but for you and the other players, I try again, about please do not need you to say, I have done, I have done, but Izraa is already round, do not want to play again.”
“If you have been begging, then why does Izraa list the reason he does not want to come again this film because Mbak does not give the one Izraa requires.”
“Hah! Izraa told you himself about the reason for not wanting to shoot again?” Syila's eyes glared at hearing that.
“Iya, we just finished a meeting discussing about the reason Izraa refused to continue filming.”
“Well, I wasn't invited?”
“Izraa says don't want you, Ma'am.”
“Eh, asshole!” Syila was upset again.
“Mbak, yuk I temenin, yuk we beg to him.”
“Num, already, you don't know anything, so don't feel like you can give me a solution.”
“This makes the film feel heavy, you are hard and Izraa is also harder, more important which? That movie or your principle anyway, Ma'am!” Hanum left after saying so, without giving Syila a chance to retaliate.
“Don't be horrified, he also doesn't know the real problem, so don't think yes.” Andi pulls Syila home. Syila could only be silent, wrong from the beginning, she should never have known Izraa and invited him to this film.
Syila arrived at home, today the family meal schedule, Syila and family do have a regular event once a week on Saturday, any busy, all family members must come, all family members must come, Syila has also been in the apartment lately, so this dinner is a chance for a family meeting.
“Ndi, help mommy yes, exitin food.” Once until Andi was immediately told to help, Andi was always reliable.
Syila went into the room first, wanted to take a new bath eating together.
After 15 minutes of bathing and changing, Syila came out, she saw that everyone was ready to eat.
“What acid is Mam?” Syila sat at the dinner table, next to her papi, while her papa sat on the very end bench, because the dining table was rectangular.
“Rendang same meat opor, emping your favorite there is also.”
“Wow, Mami ter-the best.”
They all started to spoon eat, Syila was ravenous, some days the eating schedule was messy because of the problem of this film.
“Where's filming? Said Brother Denger Izraa ngundurin himself from the movie?” Her sister Syila suddenly asked.
“Hmm.” Syila simply responded with disenthusiasticity.
“What because it was cut off so he did not want to join your film project again?” Papi asked.
“Maybe.” Syila is again just the source of the answer.
“Yaudah, just stay a film project, Papi already know, if the same novel your film will be nothing, just a trivial thing that will not take you anywhere, besides failure.” Papi said it to Syila.
While Syila's eyes were already red with anger, the matter about the film was indeed very heavy, plus the way Papi lowered Syila, making her even more angry.
“Pi, can not this family dinner is quiet, we only have dinner once a week, so Mami please if ..”
“Pi, Syila is a best seller author, everyone always says Syila's book is useful for them, many also say that their lives are better after reading Syila's book, it's all even matching what a doctor does, right, Pi. You help people with medical skills, I help people through my writing, only Papi never wants to know, how useful Syila.” works Syila got up, intending to leave the dining table.
“Look, how Papi was sure, if what you said was true, you just didn't change, still stubborn, your association that made you so brash, left the dining table, is that a good attitude?” Papi continued to attack Syila.
Syila just kept walking and went into her room, after entering the room she locked the door, entered the bathroom and cried. As usual, her Papi always had a way to hurt Syila very deeply.
His way of patting Syila always makes Syila feel worthless and inferior. From childhood he did not want to be a doctor, like papi and his brother, he always liked the picture and writing, not with the count and also things that approach the interest in the field of medicine.
Her papi was always pushy, Syila never gave up and followed all her papi will, but she was tormented, she did not want to be a Doctor, she wanted to be a Writer, she wanted to be a Writer, so he tried very hard to learn the correct writing technique, but all that remained meaningless, even after so far, there was not a single signing of Syila book that his papi attended, even when her book was nominated for the most inspiring book in one of the country's top newspapers, her Papinya said that, if Syila got an award in medicine, it would be better.
So this problem is like a prayer from his papa, for Syila to fail, which Syila hated was not a failure, but a scorn that Shila had to bear, not himself, but his disdained belief, it was as if he was unable to prove that he could succeed through writing.
“Syil! Where to?” Andi chases, dinner is over, they are in the family room, when going to the exit, Syila meets her whole family including Andi.
“Come out first, assalammualaikum.” Syila walked in a hurry.
“Papi is outrageous.” Mommy left too, but to the room. She was upset, because her husband again hurt her daughter.
“Papi just want the best for kids, is it wrong?” Papi confided to two men in the family, one nephew.
“Salah if maksa, especially Syila it looks the same as Papi.” Brother spoke.
“Means?”
“Sama-sama is stubborn!” Andi and Sakanya Syila said together.
“Hmm, you guys are.” Papi followed mami to the room, he was more afraid that mami was angry, because the graceful woman was rarely angry, if angry of course the person who made her angry must be wrong.”
Syila drives alone, she has already made an agreement with the person she will meet, they will meet at the cafe subscription.
When he arrived, he saw that he was already there, reading a book and drinking his favorite coffee, he sat in a private enough place, so that no one would pass.
“Sorry late, it was jammed.” Syila sat down and his coffee was immediately available, as usual cafe subscription that he already knew all employees even the owner.
“Udah regular.” The person simply replied without turning his head in the slightest.”
“Mbak Syila, want cake too?”
“No, thanks ya.” Syila smiled, then the waiter left them both.
Syila was silent, the two of them were silent for half an hour, the person finished reading the book and focused on Syila.
“So, today is September 19th, we are officially dating.” The man suddenly spoke with a sharp look in Syila's eyes.
“I can what, that's the only way you want to go back to filming?” Syila said weakly.
“Your expression is not like the person you just created, you even look very sad.”
“How not.”
“Smile, I want my lover's pretty smile.” Izraa teases.
“No need, anyways we're just dating, right? oh yes, speaking of that, this is a list of what you can and cannot do, as I said before, I accept to be your lover as long as you accept all my terms.”
“Just prepare the draft, after which I will consider.”
“Can't Za! You must accept all of those terms without exception!” Syila.
“Which can be like that, in every relationship there must be a sincerity, you want to condition a relationship, weird!”
“If it's weird why you want to date.” Syila straightened her lips while scooping iced coffee.
“Stop doing things like that if I don't want to do it again with ketamine.”
“What do you mean?” Syila did not understand.
“Be very sweet like that.” Izraa pointed at Syila's spoiled lips.
Syila was so aware that she had re-fished the wolf directly to change the position of her natural pawky lips without being made up.
“Ok Acil, give me the draft first, I'll fulfill all that, but you still can't be at will.”
“I won't be careless, but you also can't underestimate me.”
“I never underestimate you.” Izraa.
“Oh yes! well then, all your coldness and carelessness is what?”
“Thatch first, before ..”
“Enough! You made me ... uncomfortable.” Syila actually wanted to say disgust, but she did not want Izraa to be upset, it was enough today to make Syila's day a mess.
“So, when are you going to tell everyone?” Syila asked.
“About our relationship?”
“Not!!! about when you're back in filming!” Syila.
“Quiet, quiet Cil.”
“Don't call me by a name like that, it's just for my family!” Syila refused to be called Acil.
“Am I not part of your family now? Even more than that, right?”
“But! We're just dating, that too ...”
“Forced?” Izraa continued the truncated sentence.
