The Passion of the Actor
Season 2 Chapter 43

Sidney tried to give her smile to everyone who was currently staring at her. But that stiff atmosphere turned into a heartbreaking sadness, as Raya ran towards him, and hugged the girl.

"You're home, my daughter?" The cries of the Kingdom in the room echoed. They are the center of attention of everyone.

"Tante, how are you. Aunt's healthy, right?"

Raya just nodded, then hugged Sidney again. "Let me say Oma first yes, Tan," he said wiping the woman's arm. Sidney's focus is only on one point, Oma. He did not want to glance in any direction, even through the tail of his eyes.

Her hair was bristling, and her heart was racing, she knew that someone in the room was staring, even though Sidney wasn't looking, she knew that even the man might not want to see her here, but it's not a problem. He's also here for one purpose, seeing Oma.

"Oma.." whispered Sidney closer to Oma's face. The woman's eyeballs are cute and look very tired.

"Si-d-ne.." whispered gasping. A thread of her tears dripped down the corner of her eye. Her lips were still trying to take off a smile on Sidney. Then his hand touched Sidney's hand. The girl understood that the woman wanted her to hold her hand.

It turned out that Oma also called Paris who had been frozen in the corner of the room to observe a figure who immediately managed to mix up his feelings.

Paris approached, then Oma with her weak hands joined together their two hands, then smiled as she looked at them in turn, bringing them in her last memory before closing her eyes.

Yes, Oma has left quietly. Maybe he didn't say his last wish, but with his smile welcoming death, everyone in the room knew what he wanted.

But will those two people be able to realize Nani's wishes? Will the ego lose because of the magnitude of love, or even Love that loses because of the magnitude of the ego that shackles the soul?

The room now only heard the sound of roaring cries, heart-wrenching screams. Raya and Sidney were crying. Oma is a gift that God gave her, a way she can unite with Elrick.

Oma who from the first sight with him had already loved him. Oma's departure certainly brought deep wounds to the Royal and Sidney families.

Tita may not have screamed as loudly as Raya and Sidney, but her tears also spilled. She recalled how Oma had so painstakingly given her the herbs during the pregnancy of her first and second child, even though Nani was unwell at the time.

Mourning royal. The entire office, both the center and the branch, kept quiet by relaxing and praying for Oma.

Oma's funeral was done that day with so much wisdom. Sidney continued to be beside Raya, becoming a stick for the woman. Twice the woman had fainted, just from the exhaustion of crying.

Scot was behind the two women he loved. Just in case one of them faints. Either Raya or Sidney, they are so exhausted that their eyes look swollen. Not a single minute could he speak to Sidney due to impossible circumstances.

The mourners have gone home, leaving them a family. Everyone prayed and said farewell.

"Sidney, you go home with Auntie, yeah. Auntie needs you right now."

Sidney was confused. She couldn't possibly be with the Royal family, other than that because Ryu was with her, she also had to work tomorrow.

"Please, you accompany your aunt first."

If it was Elrick who opened his voice, who would dare to refuse his orders. "Yes, Om."

Sidney approached Ryu to leave. From his place, behind his sunglasses, Paris stared intently at Sidney, probing the figure of the man who was currently rubbing Sidney's cheeks.

Raya one car with Sidney, hugging the girl and not wanting to take off Sidney's grip. Arriving in front of the house, Elrick who was sitting in front, rushed to get Raya inside, leaving Sidney who was silent staring at the house that brought many memories for her.

Her tears flowed again. He misses that house. Hugely. There are photos of her mother there, memories of her mother, Lia's belongings, but she also doesn't know if she's still there, or if she's been dumped by her new occupants.

Just thinking about it made the wound in his heart gap again. He is at peace with his painful past, but at least not to be thrown into the bottom of the abyss of his past grief.

"Lo misses? Why not come in?" Scot's voice greeted from behind. Sidney turned around, looked at her best friend with teary eyes and the moorings began to descend. He misses, misses Scot.

He wanted to step into the man's embrace, but there was a gate of reluctance still present between them. Scot crossed that line, hugging Sidney's fragile body.

"Gue misses the same, lo! I'll do the same calculation!" scot interrupted his cries, tightly hugging Sidney's body.

"Gue is also missing. Wear it," replied Sidney more sobbing.

Paris, who came with Scot, just saw them from behind the windshield. He did not want to go down first, still staring at the girl. From where he was free to look, looking at the face of the girl who had already turned him into a more violent man.

Luckily, he was able to finish his studies without having to go crazy and look for trouble with others. After their separation yesterday, Paris even to the stress, do not want to go to college and just drunk.

Elrick. Advise and calm him. "If Sidney is your true love, it will bring her back to you. You just have to wait, prepare yourself, when it's time for her to come, then you're ready to say that you're waiting for her, want her back to your side, ready to say that you love her, you're ready to say that you love her, no matter what a thousand years it's been waiting for."

His mind was open, completing his college assignments, graduating cumlaude and immediately applied for a foreign company, but Elrick offered to take care of their company only.

Now as if back to remembering the Elrick wobble, they were reunited. Was this the right time as his father said it was?

But the truth is, Sidney's life has another man, taking her place. Even at the funeral, Paris smiled wryly when she saw the necklace that Sidney was wearing.

The key to his heart was gone, changed by the giving of others. "Sid, does your heart already belong to another man? Are you happy with him? Why does my heart not accept it? Why is it hurting here, Sid?" the great-granddaughter of Paris touched her chest that felt pain and tightness. "Is our story over?"
