Don't Call Me an Actor!
Epilogues


"And for me Bandung is not just a geographical issue, it involves a feeling that is with me when it is silent" - Pidi Baiq"


Nayla smiled looking at the writing of Pidi Baiq's results on display on the Asian African Road. The 21-year-old girl stepped back and rushed to her destination. Today he will meet his lover who has been dating Nayla for 5 years. His name is Reyhan. He and Reyhan have been in a relationship since the age of 16, arguably Reyhan is the first love for Nayla.


"Where are you going?" Nayla glanced at the watch that was coiled in her hand. He is now sitting in a cafe in the plaza Bandung.


"Nay, it's been a while?" A tall and white man sat in the chair that was in front of Nayla.


"I just arrived" Nayla smiled showing off her white and neat teeth.


"Why do you always want to meet on the spot? I'll be able to pick you up" Reyhan cupped Nayla's hand.


The waist-haired girl hurriedly pulled out her hand that was being held by Reyhan. You could say Nayla is a girl who can take care of herself. His mother always warned Nayla to keep her honor and family.


"I don't want to bother you, Rey!" Nayla said clumsily.


"How's college?" Reyhan asked curiously.


"That's fine" replied Nayla. He even stirred the ice cream on his desk.


"You seem so tired?" Reyhan noticed the look on the face of the girl who always accompanied his days for five years.


"Yes, of course, tired, I'm going to work in college" Nayla laughed.


Nayla is indeed enrolled as a fifth semester student at one of the private universities in the city of Bandung. However, Nayla takes employee classes because she also has to work to meet her needs and family. Nayla's father has been dead for a long time. His mother was sickly and Nayla also had to pay for her sisters who were still in 1st grade High School and 2nd grade Junior High School.


While Reyhan enrolled as a final semester student at one of the leading public universities in the city of Bandung. Both of his parents were very well located, because Reyhan's father was a mining businessman on the island of Borneo.


"Get it!" Reyhan took something from his bag. Then he handed her an envelope with the money he had prepared beforehand.


"No, Rey. This time I won't let you pay for my college semester money," Nayla shook her head. Because from the first semester Reyhan always helps Nayla's college needs starting from the cost of books, ospek and other costs.


"If you don't take the money, I'll be very disappointed."


"But Rey"


"I don't want to hear rejection from you, Nay. Please, do you accept?" Reyhan gave a clear face.


"alright. I promised I'd change it if Rey graduated," Nayla relented.


Nayla's salary is now just enough to support her family's life. Nayla works at a Wedding Organizer in Bandung. Nayla served as the person who helped fashion fittings for the bride and groom who were getting married.


"Don't think about it, Nay!" Reyhan once again.


"Let's get some ice cream!" Reyhan stood up from his seat and walked towards the cashier to pay for Nayla's order.


"Thank you Rey" Nayla said unkindly. His girlfriend is very loyal to him.


"Sama-sama," Reyhan rubbed Nayla's hair. They also walked down the streets of Asia Africa with one cone of ice cream in each hand.


"No, Rey."


"That shoe?"


"Not really."


"So what do you want?" Reyhan asked curiously.


"I want your parents to respect our relationship" Nayla said.


"Nay, I'll try to get my parents to accept you" Reyhan came forward to Nayla.


Nayla was silently glued and looked into Reyhan's eyes filled with solemnity.


"I promise, Nay."

"Where are you, Rey? Just met that duitan-eyed girl again?" Tanya Rika, Reyhan's mother. Rika is now sitting on the living room sofa.


"Ma, can't you stop calling Nayla the girl with the eyes?" Reyhan looked annoyed at his mother's words.


"Mama really, sister. Nayla is a girl matre" Winie said. Winie is Reyhan's younger sister.


"Take care of your words, Win! Brother never taught you to talk about rich people that way!" Reyhan glanced sharply at his sister with a half-stomping voice.


"What the fuck are you, Rey! Don't snap your sister like that!" Rika grunted in annoyance as her youngest child was yelled at.


"Tuh, Ma'am! Because of a girl named Nayla, Reyhan's brother became rich in gini and snapped me," Winie whined.


"When did you get into a relationship with that girl? Until your money runs out? Huh uh?" Rika stood up from her sitting position.


"Ma, Nayla has two eyes!" Reyhan.


"That's a double eye, but you paid for all her life, right?" Ketus Rica.


"Engga. I'm just helping you pay for the semester. He said he wanted to change if it was work" Reyhan said.


"Son is naive, right? Where could he change. Nayla does not know herself, sister? She lives in a mediocre family, but she attends one of the most expensive private universities in town" Winie sneers as she folds her hands together.


"Yes, really you, Win. He could take a private university with cheap semester money. The girl deliberately benefited your sister. She knows your sister has a lot of money" Rika concluded.


"Alright, Ma. Rey cape's. Rey wants a break" Reyhan left his mother and sister.


"Ma, I don't want to get that rich poor sister-in-law!" Winie said with a face of disdain when she imagined Nayla's house. Reyhan visited Nayla's house a year ago.


"Mama doesn't want to have her rich daughter-in-law. Mama already had her own choice of seeds, bebet and the weights were clear," Rika smiled imagining the face of a girl she was about to match up with her son.
