Forced to Be an Actor
Give a Chance

I stared at Mas Sadam while releasing my hand that was still held by him, maybe the man knew that now I was lacking

comfortable until Mas Sadam loosened his handrails.

“Ma-mas Sadam, why can it be here?” ask me with a stutter. I don't know when I used to do this when I was close to him.

“Mama Elsa, last night told me to sleep with

you and I can't resist it,” he said as he looked at me and then the man patted the empty space beside him. “Sit down I want to talk to you for a while, I won't hurt you really.” I investigated his face water which looked calm and serious and I decided to sit next to him but still keep my distance.

“Speak, Mas I don't have much time,” I said to him and I saw the man's forehead immediately wrinkled deep.

“Where are you going so early?” I saw Mas Sadam still staring at me in full search.

“I want to make breakfast, where else to go,”

I turned my attention in another direction.

I listened to the man chuckle before I finally felt his hand gently caress the top of my head like the motion of an older brother who was being anxious at his own younger brother.

“You are not a waiter in this house, why should I be busy in the kitchen do I need to find one more waiter to prepare everything?” I saw Mas Sadam speaking in a earnest tone this man now has always been gentle with me especially after that horrible night, he said, it may be true that he will change better than before but I still can't forgive him.

“No need to bother because I love cooking and if I don't do kitchen work then what should I do in this house,”

I said with a confused frown while staring at Mas Sadam.

“Sifana, you are so funny why I just know,” whether this is a compliment or a humiliation made by Mas Sadam, I do not know

surely. “you are my wife so you want to do anything in this house, yes it is up to you even if you want to do care or need anything just say it, I will give it as much as possible.”

“I want, Mas Sadam divorce me.” The man's face immediately turned grim after listening to my words. I see that unease

it was clear from his face water.

“For this one, I will never do it.”

I was about to open my mouth to speak but the sound of knocking on the door from outside this room made me undo the intention to answer his words. I was about to stand up from a sitting position to open the door but Mas Sadam ignored my intention and he himself opened the door.

Chequek!

“Honey, I was looking for you it turns out you are here,” I saw Ms. Tasya who immediately hugged Mas Sadam. I immediately turned my eyes to the other direction not wanting to see the two making out before I turned my face I saw Mas Sadam releasing a soft embrace as if the man did not want to show this to me.

“Tasya, don't overdo it like this.”

My ears don't hear wrong, do they? This is the first time Mas Sadam called Mbak Tasya by name what is the sign of all this? Is the man secretly starting to like me or is this just my exaggerated hunch.

standing before me with sharp eyes but that woman's smile rose perfectly to disguise the cruelty from her bead.

“Good, Ma'am,” I said without making small talk.

“From now every three days of the week, Mas Sadam will sleep in the room with you and three days after he will be with me then one day he will let our husband be together with you

Lioras. Wouldn't it be fair if it was like this, would you agree to what I said?” ask Tasya to me. I just kept quiet for a moment and then turned my back towards Mas Sadam who looked at me with full supplication as if the man asked me to say yes to Mother Tasya.

I shook my head slowly before speaking. When I was about to open my mouth to speak but Mama Elsa had interrupted my words just now.

“Of course, Sifana would agree,” the middle-aged woman immediately walked over to me while holding my hand and obviously I saw the look in her eyes asking me to agree with Ms. Tasya's words just now.

“So what, Ms. Tasya just say,”. I did not want to stay in one room with Mas Sadam but I also did not want to fight Mama Elsa's wishes because I knew the woman only wanted the best for me and I tried to obey ask for it while I can. But I'm also sure that Mas Sadam would never dare

do that again.

“Sifana, let's go to the kitchen now you teach me to cook too,” Ma'am Tasya will reach my hand but Mama Elsa

pulled me back behind him.

“You just go to the kitchen first so, Sifana together, Mama only.” I saw Mama Elsa's bead eyes staring at Tasya's sarcasm

it was as if the woman in front of him was his enemy and not his daughter-in-law.

“Alright, Ma if so Tasya went to the kitchen first,” I frowned seeing the attitude of Ms. Tasya who casually answered Mama Elsa's words even the woman also behaved if it never happened

the quarrel the other day between the two was very good at finding face in front of Mas Sadam.

“Sadam, if until Mama finds out you are repeating the same thing then, Mama herself will take Sifana away from you.” The threat that Mama Elsa threw was able to make Mas Sadam bow down in shame and regret.

“Ma, believe me that night Sadam was controlled by alcohol so he was not aware of having done this heinous thing. Really for whatever sake Sadam is very sorry to have done it because sadam knows if time cannot be replayed then therefore Sadam will fix everything.

The man looked at me now and I looked at him with a flat face although in fact this chest felt very tight when remembering the heartbreaking incident - the moment when my honor was taken by him.

“Sifana please give me a chance to fix

everything and may I meet your sister, I want to see her?” I was silent for a moment then Mama Elsa rubbed the back of my hand slowly as if telling me to give her son and finally me a chance

nodding his head in agreement.

At first glance I saw Mas Sadam smiling at me but I decided on that look without returning his smile.
