The Passion of the Actor
Season 2 Chapter 46
The first family member to come out that morning was Tita with her second child. A beautiful little girl whose nose and eyes are very similar to Dipa's.
"Honey, where are you going so early?" tanya Tita approached Sidney. The excited-looking little girl was struggling to hold Sidney, until her mother handed her over. Helena was only yesterday afternoon acquainted with Sidney, but the two-year-old girl was very fond of Sidney, obediently sitting on her lap.
One by one the Royal family came down for breakfast together. Sidney who could not sleep, had been preparing since five in the morning, carrying her backpack downstairs waiting for them.
"Morning, Honey. Are you neat? Want to..." Raya didn't continue her sentence. He hated to accept this.
"Yes, Auntie, I want to go back to Bandung."
"We have breakfast first" Elrick said, cutting off a conversation he knew would be the length of the end. Last night his wife was flirting, unwilling to be hugged by Elrick, before Elrick promised to arrange for Sidney not to leave.
"Morning, it's all gathering. Hi, beautiful, it's nice to see you here" said Dipa kissing Sidney's head.
Not long after, Scot sat down next to Sidney. He also looks neat, because according to the agreement he will take Sidney home to Bandung.
The breakfast felt so fast. It's Sidney's only hope of meeting the man once more, but until everyone finishes eating, Paris doesn't come down.
"Is he sorry he kissed me? Is this her way of saying goodbye to me?" his mind put down the spoon and spent the water huh.
Sidney resigned, he chose not to linger there again. Sidney tells Elrick, who also kisses the top of his head and gives Sidney a loving hug. "Remember your promise, Om. No matter how far you go, remember coming home, remember we're your parents, remember we're your family here."
Sidney nodded haru. Elrick tucked the paper in his backpack. Through his eyes he wanted to ask, but Elrick's nod first made him understand. Once again he hugged Elrick, until his tears spilled. Raya who saw it was powerless to cry, hugging Sidney's back until the three embraced.
Dipa who also felt sad, hugged Tita who had joined in crying without a sound.
"Udah dong, kok on a cry. Bandung is close, every day we can go there, too" said Scot.
As Sidney greeted everyone, Helena cried to come with him. "Later brother comes again yes," said Sidney kissed the little girl.
"Do you really have to go?" Raya is still holding Sidney's hand, driving her to Scot's car. His best friend forced to take him to Bandung, with the threat that if he refused to be hostile forever, Sidney agreed to be escorted by Scot.
"Yes, Aunt. I will definitely be home often. Aunt take care of health. I'll be graduating soon. Auntie Om should come."
"Without your asking, Auntie and Om must have come. Take care of yourself, yes. If there's anything, call Auntie."

Sidney immediately picked up the paper that Elrick had tucked in his backpack. Read it and immediately search for that address via the goo*gle map. He looked at her once more to convince her heart.
When he finished talking to Elrick, Sidney asked him where his father was, if Elrick knew. The man strictly forbids Sidney from meeting his father.
"He doesn't deserve your forgiveness. The breng*sek man has hurt you, ignored you and considered you non-existent. I don't agree to see him!"
Sidney quiet. He was also still angry at Sandi, even hate might still remain in his heart. But anyway, Sandi is her father. There's still blood running through Sidney's body.
"I just want to make sure she's okay, Om."
"He's kind. Precisely because it looks at you that Om did not imprison him and make him become fatigued. Om had already prepared a house for him with a piece of land for him to cultivate. Forget about him. Consider us your parents. Is our love for you not enough?"
Sidney no longer argued, and immediately walked out of the room.
"We arrived. Whose house is this?" scot asked, staring at a tenement house type 36. From the inside of the house came out a little boy, whom Sidney guessed was now sitting in the fifth grade of elementary school playing with his ball. Sidney looked from his place, until the ball he kicked rolled towards the car door.
Sidney rushes to open the car door, picks up the ball and walks towards the boy. Sidney is stunned, looking closely at the boy's face while Scot is now also coming down from the car. Seeing the boy, he understood whose house they were headed to.
Sidney squeezed the ball hard. The boy's face was clearly 'copy photo' of his father. "Hey... This is your ball" said Sidney, who was greeted with a smile by the boy.
Haven't had time to answer, a woman whose appearance looked simple came out because she wanted to hang clothes. The bucket in his hand fell. His hands covered his gaping mouth, shocked at Sidney's arrival.
"Sidney..,"he called me weak.
Sidney stiff. He himself was confused as to what kind of behavior. Wanted to smile, but why did his heart feel displeased.
"Si-please get in Sidney. Sorry, the house is a mess" he said kindly.
"Thank you, just here."
The woman nodded in understanding, and then struggled to clean up the surroundings to give a comfortable seat on the terrace of her house.
Sidney sat down, but her feelings were uncomfortable as the little boy watched her continue. "Mother, whose sister is this? Why is his face similar to...." The boy did not finish his sentence, ran into the house, then not how long it reappeared with a single picture frame.
Sidney's eyes glazed over to see what the boy was showing. Picture of himself while still Junior High. The photo was taken when his father took him to Ancol for his birthday. In the corner of the frame there are pieces of photos that have been cut and tucked. Photograph with dad.
"Lid...." The woman broke Sidney's daydream. Hurriedly her tears that dripped down her cheeks, instantly wiped them away.
"mmm... Where's papa?"
"He's working. We opened a small workshop. He'll be home soon. I have lunch ready first" said his father's wife.
"No need. I'll just say goodbye."
"Sidney," the woman's cry broke. "I'm sorry for the mistake we made. I know that your father was married after we married sirih. I'm guilty of your mother, and of you. I'm sorry, forgive your father. I'm really sorry that it might not mean anything anymore" said the woman in her sobbing cry.
"Aunty, let's forget the past. I have forgiven, though I may never forget the pain. I just came to say that I bless you, pray that your little family is always happy" Sidney said in a voice trembling with tears.
"Hey, meet me Sidney, your brother," he said, extending a hand toward the boy. The boy eagerly accepted his hand. "Hi brother Sidney, I'm Dimas."
***
Scot only stayed a short time, not so stay as planned at the beginning. After making sure Sidney arrives at the boarding house and shows her work, Scot returns home to pick Gladys up again at the airport. It's because Sidney is forcing her to go home soon.
"Give my regards to Gladys" said Sidney, swinging her hand across her face.
Sidney looked away at the Scot's car which was still visible even though it was very small. Sidney sighed, and smiled at the greeting of the wind. He returns to the reality of his life, which is lonely and silent.
