The Obsession of the Actor
Pulang Kampung's

“Kak Aji.” Kania frowning. “Waaah she already had a lover but didn't tell me.”

“Who?” ask Flory.

“I haven't introduced my sister to you. That's it!” show Kania to her sister with a woman. “She's my sister. His name is Aji.”

“Really?”

Kania smiled. “Come meet him.” Flory's hand came closer to Aji's. Surely Aji will be very upset when his activities are discovered by Kania. Especially in love affairs, Aji was very secretive.

“Hai!” Kania waved her hand in front of her brother. With a sweet smile of course.

“A-what are you doing?”

“You know him dear?” ask the woman beside Aji.

“Woaah.” Kania patted Aji's shoulder slowly. “My brother is dating but I don't know. Hello?” sapa Kania's. “I'm Kania, Aji's sister.”

“Oh.” The woman nodded. “I Rose.”

Kania looked at Flory for a moment. “This is my friend, Flory.”

“What do you want?” ask Aji.

“We are the same. Don't skip it or I'll tell you your secret.” Kania winks her eyes.

“Oke.” Aji agreed to it.

The reason why trying to cover their love life is if parents know, then they will be quickly asked to get married. Customs that are still thick in the family make them not to linger in relationships with the opposite sex without a clear status. Of course with requirements that are not easy to pass.

“Now I go first. Happy happy dear brother.”

Kania took Flory out. Now the business is done. “I will buy you a shirt,” he said by embracing Flory's shoulder.

“Why are you so happy?”

“I don't have to worry about how I introduced Drake to my parents. I still need time to bring Drake to my parents.”

Flory nodded. “By the way your brother is handsome too. If I don't have a lover I'll definitely approach.”

Kania laughed softly. “Flo—just be my friend. I don't want you stuck in my family a little complicated.”

“You mean?”

Kania sighed. “You know my family's backround.” Twisting his eyeballs lazy. “Still royal descendants. It still contained sacred blue blood. Must find a minimal companion who is also blue blood. From a good family. Seed weights should be clear.”

“You think why I always avoid Mother who always asks me about my relationship with Drake?”

Flory shook her head.

“Surely they will oppose my relationship. They will definitely ask about Drake's family background which to me is still a puzzle. I don't care what Drake's family background is. Or his past. But for sure my family will sue everything related to Drake. I don't want them to do it. I'll face them when it's really ready.”

Flory grimaced softly. “It turns out very complicated..” Sluggishly. Flory embraces Kania's shoulder. “The struggle for love. The fight for love. You can definitely get through Kania!”

Kania occasionally sends word through messages. His relationship with Drake went well. Now he is on his way to his hometown. There is a project he has to do with his co-workers. Kania will open a branch office supported by Viction. According to the plan that has been discussed, there are three that will be built simultaneously, namely offices, stores and factories.

“I'll survey with Joshua as CEO Viction. I hope you won't be jealous.” That's Kania's message to Drake. He's always been honest so Drake's trust can grow. Kania won't let Drake be someone jealous.

“I'm jealous. But I'm trying to believe. It's not that I don't trust you. But I'm suspicious of a man close to you.”

“Just trust me, Drake. Remember our mantra. Cause im your. It’s you, only one my boy.”

Kania smiled reading Drake's last reply. He put his phone in his pocket. The car stopped in front of a field not far from the main road. Strategic place. Close to the city center but far from the population. This place is most strategically become Factory and Warehouse.

Get off the car. Kania did not open the sunglasses perched on her nose. The blazing weather made his eyes glare if he didn't wear anything. From the side. A car just came.

“You came first?” Joshua approaching.

“No. I was right on time. You're the one who's late—Josh.” Kania smiled a little.

“Sorry—Miss.” Joshua bowed a little like an employee to his boss.

The joke that made Kania laugh lightly. “What do you think? This place is suitable, right?”

Joshua faced a field in front of him. Then nodded slowly. “This place is right if made a factory. After the factory was built—there must have been other buildings that followed. Our job is not just to build a factory. But also a small village. This place must be filled with residential buildings that will be inhabited by factory workers whose homes are far away, places to eat— such as stalls or restaurants. Then also clinic or hospital.”

Kania nodded. “It's perfect.” Kania didn't even think that far. “Devisions of plans from my company only apply for the cost of building a Factory and warehouse.”

“That's an easy problem. The revision from Viction will take care of the rest.” Joshua smiled at Kania. “Location 1 almost done.”

“Any enough?”

“Come switch places.”

Locations one and two are complete. Main Store and Office are close together. It will be built in the city center. His name is also the cooperation of—Store which later became not only filled with Kania company products. But also Viction products.

All the teams are currently in a restaurant. Kania and Joshua were indeed sitting apart with his staff. If away from the staff—Kania and Joshua can speak more freely like friends.

“So this city is your hometown?”

Kania nodded. “Almost one year I didn't go home.”

“Why? Usually children who are out often go home. Why don't you go home?”

“Slightly complicated. I miss my family but there are things that make me reluctant to go home too often.” Kania bribed his last bribe. Slowly chewing. Occasionally nods happily because he can finally eat his favorite traditional food again.

Joshua laughed a little at Kania. Their positions face each other. Joshua was happy to watch silently Kania.

“Sounds like you're so happy.”

“Sure.” Kania sipped her orange ice. “I haven't eaten this food in a long time. How about you?”

“I like. But it feels too strong. I can't eat too much food like this,” Joshua's honest answer made Kania laugh.

“You are used to eating Western.” food

“Itu—true.”

“Kania! That's you!” the voice of someone who sounded excited.

Kania and Joshua looked at each other at the same time. Kania grimaced softly. Why should we meet? He tried not to tell anyone of his life in his hometown. Because he did not want to meet anyone including his family.

“Why not tell Mommy if you go home?!” the woman who is Kania's mother status hit her daughter's anxiety. “You intentionally? You avoid mama?”

Kania shakes. “No. Kania will tell Mommy when Kania's business is over. After Kania job is done—Kania plans to go home.”

“You lied. If Mother does not meet you here, Mother will not know you are coming home. You will secretly return to Jakarta and will not go home.”

“Kania can't possibly lie—Bund.” Kania hugged Mother who was upset and wanted to cry. “Kania does plan to go home.”

“Who are you with?” ask Mommy.
