The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 102's

Oma greeted them in the courtyard of the house, as she could not wait to see the two most meaningful people in her life. Such a strong hug gave Nani to Raya after the woman got out of the car.

"Why did you guys come back so long? Oma has missed once," he said shortly after breaking their arms.

"Sorry, Oma," replied Raya smiling. When Elrick's turn came, Oma grabbed her hair.

"Aaau... What the hell is it? my head can be bald, Oma" Tukas Elrick pleaded for her hair to be removed.

"You deserve that. After you get Raya, you forget about your Oma, even you monopolize the existence of Raya," Nani's hardik is upset, but immediately takes his hand off Elrick's hair.

"Hi, how are you? Welcome to this family, "welcome Dipa who has laughed crisply since seeing Elrick who received punishment from Oma.

"Thank you very much, Dip." The smile expands. Dipa is now not only a friend, but has become his family.

"What are you talking about behind my back? Look, now he's your brother-in-law, so if you have bad intentions and dirty thoughts lodged in your head, get rid of them!" Hardik Elrick who had wrapped his arm around Raya's shoulder.

Dipa who got the accusation for no reason just smiled amusedly at Elrick. Unexpectedly, the man who did not care about anything, never afraid of anything, was now clearly depicted in his eyes fearing the loss of Kingdom. Dipa could see that her cousin was so in love with Raya.

Now he feels sorry for Raya. The girl's wiggle room will definitely be very limited when she sees the overprotective attitude of her husband. According to Dipa, if Raya could be folded and stored in a wallet, Elrick would do so to be able to take her wherever she went.

"What the hell, Mas. It's not clear," Raya whirled her eyes. Elrick will only retaliate, but Nani's hand has taken Raya from Elrick's embrace.

"Oma, where are you going? Do not be long Oma, soon we go home," he said, which of course was glad to be ignored Nani.

Elrick and Dipa chose to sit on the bench of Nani's vast flower garden. Staring into a neat and beautiful garden. Elrick asked him to talk because he thought they had to talk after all this time and after everything that happened.

"Thank you for all the help and whatever you did that brought me closer to Raya. I realized that if it wasn't for you canceling the wedding, we might not be able to unite as we are today" Elrick said.

"Yes, I shouldn't have done it. I should have stayed in my mind, saying the sacred promise binding the Kingdom," he said again teasing Elrick. Dipa now seems more open, more receptive to Elrick as his brother.

"You want to continue our duel at that time? I'll ladenin."

Suddenly Dipa's laughter echoed. He alone was the man who could see the jealousy and adorable attitude of Elrick when panicked because of being touched on the matter of Kingdom that wanted to be snatched from him.

"Enough Dipa! I swear if you're still broken, I'll break your neck!" Exclaimed Elrick who felt annoyed at being laughed at by his sister. What's funny is that he deserves to be laughed at like that.

"Sorrys. I'm just enjoying this time. Seeing you in this state, I mean so loving Raya, I feel lucky not to be married, otherwise like you, always afraid if for a second do not see Raya from your sight. Said the young man now, you're too Bucin!"

Elrick was silent, staring back at the vast expanse of land that belonged to his grandmother. He remembered, as a child, Dipa and himself often played ball there. It has not been a long time since I repeated that.

"You're right. I loved that girl so much that she almost went crazy if she got hurt. I even wanted to hit myself if I knew she was crying. I've never loved a woman that big. You know, maybe I'll die if this woman also leaves me like she did before" she said of the first woman she loved, who preferred to leave with her affair.

I understand what Elrick said. Elrick's childhood suffered greatly with Silvira's repudiation. His mother was the mother of Elrick. So if his heart is open now to love Raya, then it stands to reason that the man is afraid of abandonment.

"Raya is a soft-hearted girl, she is kind and also loves you very much, she will not leave you."

The mood was silent again. There's not much they can say, although there's actually a lot to say. Most importantly, they forgive and open up to each other. Being brothers because they are the only pillars in this family.

The sound of his phone jolted Elrick's long daydream and immediately opened one incoming photo message. From Dipa. Elrick's hand shook, not even the phone could he hold properly. His eyes kept staring intently at the screen of his phone.

"Go away. Let go of all your disappointments and heartaches" Dipa patted Elrick on the shoulder and walked in.

***

That night, Elrick couldn't sleep at all. Raya was already slumbering while hugging her arm. Slowly and quietly, Elrick pulled his hand so as not to wake his wife.

Successfully climbing the floor, Elrick enveloped Raya's body before moving towards the balcony. His mind was chaotic, worry creeping in his heart. The hatred he felt made him not want to think about it, but in fact could not.

One by one the painful events appeared in his mind again. He felt pain until he held his chest to the left.

He remembered what Raya had told him before. "Preace the past. If it can't make better, eat ikhlaskan."

Some cigarettes have been exhausted he hi*sap while still weighing. Elrick walked in, he decided maybe this was what he had to do.

***

Morning greeted, Raya who had already woken up kissed Elrick's forehead who was still asleep. He came down to prepare breakfast.

"Morning, you're up this early?" Sapa Raya who saw Dipa who was sitting at the table in the middle of the kitchen room.

"Yep. I can't sleep, imagine the woman I like is right next to me" she said. In fact, Dipa woke up early because her flight to Chicago was soon.

"Not funny, Dip!" Sahut Raya turned her lips. Dipa simply replied with a crisp laugh.

"Is your giant baby still sleeping?"

Raya simply nodded, breaking a few eggs and starting to shake them. Mbok Ida, who now handles the menu at home only helps get the materials Raya needs, then asks her servants to do other things.

"Like last night he can't sleep."

"Why indeed?" tanya Raya was curious. This time Dipa's gaze was not wanting to tease Raya.

"Maybe the thought, leads to a dilemma, whether he should go visit his mother or not," replied Dipa who was very confident in her interpretation.

"What happened to Miss Silvira? Is he sick?"

"He's dead...."
