The Obsession of the Actor
Pulang Kampung's

It's been a month. Thanks to the medicine from the Psychiatrist, the state of Kania is much calmer and improved. He can move normally and make physical contact with Drake without any more worry. Kania rubbed Drake's messy hair.

“Do you not want to wake up?” ask Kania. “Do you have no schedule today?”

Instead of answering—Drake increasingly tightened his embrace. The more the body of Kania.

“I retired,” he replied slowly.

“Really?” Kania surprised. He had no idea what Drake was doing.

Drake opened his eyes. Then smile— very happy it feels when bangujn sleep can directly look at the woman.

“I've planned it. I want to stop being an actor and will pursue the business world.”

“What are you planning to do business with?”

“I'll take over my business while managed by Duke.”

Kania squinting. “It looks like only I don't know anything here.” Kania releases Drake's embrace. “I should just ask Jefri about what you did?”

Drake shook his head. He did not send Knaia away from him. “No-no.” Drake drowned his face in Kania's neck. Overrides Kania's body with her feet. “I don't want to add to the burden of your mind. It's all done. Just take over officially and I'll take care of my own business.”

“You don't have to feel like I'm burdened. I don't have a problem. Drake—we have to share our problems. Don't just you know my problem.”

Drake nodded. “Iya darling.”

Kania smiled at Drake's words of affection.

Drake suddenly wakes up.

“DRAKE PUT ON YOUR PANTS FIRST!” yell Kania hysterical. Because Drake walked casually without a thread attached to his body.

Drake clucking. “You've seen it many times why it's still shy.” Drake relented. Than to hear Kania's screams again. He prefers to wear his shorts.

Kania got off the bed with a blanket wrapped around her body.

“Waiting babe.” Drake stood in front of Kania. “Tlast night I completely forgot. Because it's too happy you accepted my proposal. I forgot to put the ring on your ring finger.”

Kania laughs. Maybe he also forgot not to charge the ring to Drake who proposed to him. He put his hand out. “It. Quick fill with Drake.” diamonds

“Actually I bought an imitation.”

“Drake..” upset Kania.

“Iya-iya.” Drake opened the ring box. There is a gold colored ring with a simple but elegant design. Drake took Kania's fingers. Pairing the ring to Kania's ring finger.

But what happened. The ring doesn't fit on Kania's ring finger. Still a little loose.

“Drake..” complained Kania. “Ah you. Males akuu.”

“I just guessed your finger size Kania.” Drake scratched his non-itchy nape. “Don't you diet? You don't need a diet. Now let's raise your weight again so that the ring can fit on your ring finger.”

“Gak ah.” Kania pursed her lips. “Males-males me.” Kania walks to the bathroom.

“I buy again huh?” haggard Drake stands in the bathroom doorway. “Which is nicer and more beautiful than that.”

“GAK. I WEAR IT ON MY THUMBS!” Kania yelling. “Let no one know that I am engaged.”

“SAYANG!” now change Drake who screams. “Gak-no. Cannot be banned. I bought a new ring. That fits in your ring finger. A better ring. More expensive. Prettier. Point!”

They arrive. A tomb with writing. Christina Cole's. Sister Drake.

“Hallo, Brother.” Drake crouches. He and Kania had already bought a bouquet of flowers. “Sorry new coming. Today I want to meet my future wife to Christin's sister. Called Kania. Similar to Christin. His smile is similar. Equally beautiful.”

Kania placed a bouquet of flowers over Christin's grave. “Hallo Christin's sister, I'm Kania. It's good to see brother. Drake and I love each other, please support us and bless our relationship.”

Kania rubbed Drake's shoulder slowly. Definitely berat—Kania know. Moreover, Drake looks very close to his brother.

After visiting her sister's grave. Drake invites Kania to an artificial lake that is located in one with the city park. There is an elongated bench. They sat side by side looking at the lake.

“Me and sister Christin are very close. I don't know the origin of my parents. Said the Mother of the Orphanage, we were entrusted in the Panty when I was only 6 years old and sister Christin was 12 years old. When graduating from High School, Kak Christin chose to come out of Orphanage so that we are not appointed children of people. Brother Cristin won't part with me.”

Drake smiled considering his brother's struggle. He said he was very proud to have a sister like Christin who is very strong and independent. “Sister Christin works odd jobs so I don't lose anything. Until finally Christin was accepted into a company. I feel guilty because I didn't know Christin's life back then. Until finally—Kak Christin pregnant his own boss's son. Her boss told Christin to kill her baby. Brother Christin depressed and eventually committed suicide.”

Kania did not say a word. He closed his mouth in surprise. As soon as Drake looked at her—Kania could not help but cry.

“Do not cry.” Drake wiped Kania's tears with his fingers. “I've made peace with my past.”

“You forgive that person?”

Drake shook his head. “I will never forgive him, Kania.”

Kania nodded. She hugged Drake. “It must be heavy once save everything yourself. It's okay if you want to share the burden with me, Drake.”

Drake rubbed his long hair. “I'll definitely share with you, Kania.”

~~

Kania and Drake are on the plane. Kania wants Drake to meet his parents. Their relationship is getting serious, it is impossible not to involve the role of parents.

“Kania how were your parents?” ask Drake. The man looked a little nervous.

“They are good.” Kania smiled. “I'm closer to my dad. So my dad knows better about me. Don't worry, they're good—Drake. It's just..”.

“Only?”

“You know my family's backround. They are a little selective about their child partner candidates. But you don't have to worry. I'm sure my parents can accept you.” Kania rubbed Drake's arm slowly.

After traveling for hours. They finally arrived. Drake out of the car. Observe a house with modern and traditional designs. True what Kania said, his family is still thick with customs.

Kania links her fingers with Drake's fingers. “Ayo.”

TING

Two people came out soon. Dad and Mommy are out. Kania smiled. “Kania home.” Kania hugged her parents one by one.

“So this is Drake?” ask Kania's father first.

Kania nodded.

“I'm Drake Cole. Kania's lover. I came here to ask for your blessing as Kania's parents. We decided to step up to a more serious level,” said Drake.

Dewi Sekar does not like it. He looked at Drake judging from top to bottom. Not saying anything to make the atmosphere tense.

“We already know.” Kania's father patted Drake's shoulder gently. “Log in first. Speaking inside.”
