The Passion of the Actor
Season 2 Chapter 34

Time passed quickly, the holidays were over. Everyone back to their activities. Sidney and Scot return to school with an upperclassman degree. Luckily, they can still be together, one class even now choose one bench.

Paris also began to follow his lectures in Great Britain. This season will be a long time for them.

Sidney with the Royal family crowded to take Paris to London. All were happy, laughing and full of good memories, until the time of farewell. Sidney and the Royal family must return home.

"Don't be sad, I'll be home later" whispered Paris who wiped Sidney's tears down again. Raya and her husband and youngest child moved away from them, to make room for them.

It is not easy for anyone to live a long distance relationship, especially different continents, but there is no strong love without trials and struggles, right?

"I'm gonna miss you so much. All right here, huh?" Sidney whispered because her voice could not come out.

As time went on, their relationship remained warm even though only by phone, and video call. Every video call, Paris would break that relationship because it could not bear to see Sidney crying because she missed him.

"Please, honey, don't cry. Or I'll leave this behind, and choose to continue there" said Paris really couldn't bear to see Sidney cry.

Sidney would say nothing, just busy wiping away her tears as she nodded.

There is a so-called reluctance, reluctance after starting to grow up. The sensitivity that Sidney felt also began to be sensitive. He realized that he was a lover of Paris, but still an outsider, even though it was only his own assumption, Sidney refused the invitation of Raya to visit Paris in the second year. Sidney, who was in third grade, said she wanted to focus on the try outs she was taking.

"What do you mean? Do you want to take the exam? Do you want to graduate and go to college in a place you dream of? I do too, Sid. But still can dong holiday, two weeks this. It's a quiet time after all, right for us before the national exam?" Scot did not understand what his best friend had in mind.

Sidney is still the same as he used to be, they still love each other and play, walk together, but that's the limit. After third grade, Sidney didn't even occupy her room in the Royal house anymore.

"Sorry, Scot. Papa wants to come back here too he said. We may not have met. Give my regards to Paris."

"Bodos! You're not my bestie anymore!"

***

Sidney could guess that Paris would be mad at him. But according to Sidney for now, this is what's best for him.

He could not forever rely on the Royal family.

"Hey, what does all this mean? Why didn't you come? You don't miss me?" The sound of Paris was so hunting, he wanted to hear Sidney's explanation right then and there.

An hour later, Paris did not accept the reason. The connection on the phone was cut off unilaterally. Sidney just silently watched his phone, then went back to work on the bank about what was in front of him.

Just him, in a quiet room with no one in the house. Bi Inem is also currently allowed to go home to his son. Sidney lives alone with emptiness and emptiness in her heart.

He saw a picture of his mother, "Ma, accompany me, yeah. I'm lonely and alone..."

***

The national exam is over. Sidney and Scot graduated with good grades. Holidays arrive, and because the value of both is very good, Raya and Elrick give gifts for them. For the first time, Scot opened his prize. Two tickets to Bali. "This is serious, Ma? Pa? to Bali?" said semringah. "We're going to Bali, Sid. Wwwooow.." the pekik happy.

"Now open a gift, Lo."

Vigorously Sidney opens and one round-trip ticket to London. Everyone was silent, waiting for Sidney's reaction. "It's..." Sidney lifted her head, looking at Raya and Elrick alternately. "Of, Aunt..."

Raya nodded with teary eyes. Sidney's body is petrified. Shaking and all he could do was cry and scatter into the Kingdom.

"So if you go to London, who do I go with?"

"Elrick blinked one eye at Scot, who smiled nodding, understanding his father's intentions. "Gladys, we're on vacation." he said happily.

***

Sidney's arrival is completely unknown to Paris. It's a surprise from Sidney sponsored by her family.

Arriving in London, someone Elrick had arranged to take him to Paris. Sidney got there when the sky was dark.

Tomorrow is Paris' birthday and she's already preparing a present for the man. "Thank you, sir," he told Elrick's Indonesian man.

Sidney's heart is pounding. It had been a year they had not met, his longing was already mountainous. Arriving at the door of the Paris apartment, Sidney took a breath, and tried to calm her heart thump just before pressing the bell.

Twice he pressed, but it was not opened. Sidney asked if the man might not have come home. But the third time he pressed the bell, the door opened.

Now in front of Sidney appeared a beautiful girl like a model who looked at her in wonder, because she felt she did not know or maybe even knew her very well. "Sorry, is this a Paris apartment?" I was afraid of the wrong room. She also did not use English because the girl standing in front of her was clearly an Indonesian.

"Yes, right. You're..."

"Oh, I'm Sidney..."

The girl wanted to open her mouth, replying to Sidney's words, but the voice of the man from behind kept her quiet.

"Who, Han?"

"Hun? Honey?" sidney's mind chimed in in the heart. He clearly knew that voice. Not long after, the owner of the voice appeared behind the girl with wet hair and just a towel wrapped around her hips.

Sidney's body stiffened, with all her heart calming down. Still thinking positively and keeping her tears from collapsing.

"Sid... Sidney..." chuckling Paris rushed to welcome Sidney, even holding the girl as a child, bringing in after the girl called 'han' had stepped aside.

"Darling, are you coming? Am I dreaming? Oh, my God, I'm so glad you came here. It's like a dream, I'm so happy." she hugged Sidney back while kissing the top of her head.

Sidney closed her eyes sipping the fragrance of the body of this man she loved so much. Seeing Paris welcoming her arrival, she believes, the girl is a nobody.

"Ehem..." Deheman the girl reminded them that in the room it was not just them.

"Eh... Sid, this is Hanna, my college friend. Han, this is Sidney, my girlfriend and the most meaningful girl in my life."
