The Passion of the Actor
Season 2 Chapter 38

Sidney was forced to return to her Paris apartment. He didn't want Paris to make a fuss over their troubles.

Sidney is waiting for Paris to change clothes. He only gave the man 15 minutes to explain what he wanted to say. "Darling..." Paris swallows her saliva when she sees Sidney's eyeballs glaring at her due to an affectionate call.

"I have nothing to do with Hannah. The photo was taken when I asked her father to come home. Her best friend took that photo all of a sudden."

Sidney doesn't mind the photo anymore, at least for now. He just wanted clarity on why Hana could 'thrump' him. What happened to Paris that didn't care about anything?

If only return the favor, just say thank you and one day if he needs his help, then he will do it. Not like this, Paris was asked to be a baby sitter Hana.

"I had a fight with the son of an official in this town. The boy had to go to the hospital because I beat him up. Hana's father helped me, protected me from the rampage of the people here. At that time I had asked what way I should repay her kindness. He just asked me to look after his daughter who happens to be my major friend."

Sidney complacent. Paris is still honest to this degree, because Elin also said so. "Why don't you tell me this is the same about Elrick?"

"I don't want to stay behind the big name and power of my papa, Sid. I don't want this news to disappoint me. You remember when I fought at school for defending you, papa reminded me it was the last fight. So how could I possibly burden their minds. Anyway, I think you're going to college here too, I don't want anyone to bother you during the lecture here later, so I have to be patient with Hana's behavior."

Sidney remained silent. On the one hand, the reason Paris makes sense, if he continues to rely on his father's big name, when he can maturely solve his own problems.

"I'll go home first, Ris. I need time to think things through. Think about where our relationship will take us."

"I know you're angry with me at the moment, but I beg Sidney, don't go home today, let out your anger, after the calm has just returned to Indonesia," said Paris pleaded. He was afraid that when he came home, Sidney would decide.

"Paris, the relationship is lived by two people. I can listen to you, but you also have to listen to me. Don't selfish. I'm home today."

Paris has returned Sidney. He was driving until the plane left. "Darling, I'll wait for news from you. Don't be mad again, honey." Paris kissed Sidney's right left cheek and forehead, then the top of her head and closed by slapping her lips on the girl's lips.

"Take care of yourself, I'm saying goodbye."

"Have you returned? Shouldn't Lo be back the day after tomorrow? Where's the gift for me? " Sosor Scot came to Sidney's room when he learned from Raya that Sidney had come home.

Not having time to buy souvenirs, Sidney only bought a few at the airport, and he had delivered them to the Royal house. Chatting for a while with Raya and Oma who are lying weakly in her room, then not long, Sidney bailed to her house.

"Sorry best, I didn't bring anything. No time anywhere," said Sidney trying to take off her smile.

Scot knew Sidney during Sidney's current age, so it's impossible that he didn't even know what was going on with the girl.

"Do you fight with my brother?"

Sidney did not answer immediately, instead moving from his study table to the bed, lying on his stomach submerged his face into a pillow. Holding her breath for up to 10 seconds, hoping that when she starts to re-open her eyes and breathe air, she can get better, can forget the problem.

Scot followed, making the same gesture, face down beside Sidney. "More..." Scot brought his shoulder closer to Sidney, whom the girl looked at with a questioning look.

"Lo's crying, right?"

Sidney understands now. Scot always knew when he should be Sidney's back.

Sidney did. His face was on the man's shoulder. Crying really. She's always open to Scot, even the most sensitive things, like when she started getting her first period, and how much it hurt to get it.

Only her relationship with Paris was a problem she refused to tell me about. After stopping crying and feeling relieved, Sidney told him everything by holding the number five agreement, a friend's secret should not be opened to others.

"Gue wants to take the one in Jakarta, the same communication management as it is," said Sidney, who was embraced by Scot.

"Okay, I'm coming with you."

"Aren't you going to take art?"

"Second choice. Can I get beaten by my bokap if not take management."

***

It had been two days in Indonesia, during which time Sidney was reluctant to pick up her phone, but after calm, Sidney finally wanted to talk again with Paris.

All are back to normal, dating LDRs with a phone or video call just like they used to. But for some reason, now it feels bland in Sidney's heart.

After what he faced in London, his mind was always filled with thoughts that hurt his soul. 'Is Paris faithful there? Is he cheating?' and there are still a lot of questions in his head.

But seeing Paris facing her gently makes Sidney cheerful again even though it is not as comfortable as before.

"Lo's sure we're gonna get away with it?" scot asked as they were traveling home from the PTN entrance selection exam.

"Yakin dong" said Sidney smiling and patting Scot's shoulder, giving encouragement to his best friend.

"Gue got off at my house, yeah," he said after the car pulled up between the two houses.

"Lo don't want to see you first? He said you were invited to taste his cake."

"Yes, I changed clothes first, just got there. Yes, I'll go down first."

Sidney slowly stepped into the house. Her face turned cheerful as she looked at the face of Sandi whom she had not seen for a long time.

"Papa's home?" her broom hugged Sandi's neck.

"Yes, just now. Where are you from?" Cold asked. Sidney took off her embrace. The day her father changes, no longer showing his affection for Sidney. Come and go as he pleases.

Even Sidney graduated and applied to any college, she didn't care. He's only been home for two days, and been gone for weeks and even months, only if he likes it he'll come home and ask about Sidney. Even if it is rare to go home because of the busyness, which Sidney thinks is too excessive, at least Sandi can contact by phone, but this is actually never unless Sidney first contacted.

"Having taken the PTN, Pa." entrance selection exam."

"Oh," he said as if not interested in it. "Sidney, someone wants you to seriously talk to me. It's important, and I hope you can understand and accept it."
