The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 22's

"Why is my life so unlucky anyway, always met lo?" elrick grunted rudely.

"Heh, arrogant man. It's good to say I brought shit." His great-grandson could still be heard by Elrick. The arrogant handsome man did not expect that the place to deliver laundry on his omana instructions was the place of the Kingdom's laundry.

"Where's my note? remember, wash it clean, do not get damaged, it's expensive clothes!" His voice was cold and certainly not friendly.

"Yes know. Onion!"

"Lo said what?"

"Nothing, Mom. Just read the mantra!"

Elrick glared sharply. Ever since the first meeting helped him, Elrick had felt something strange about the girl.

"Remember, it has to be clean. I don't want a reason you're pregnant again, so make my clothes not clean and tidy," she said again.

"Good, Mas." Raya forced her lips to smile, although inwardly he was already caught off guard, hoping that this man would leave here soon.

"Sir, who the hell is that shitty guy? my mood got ugly because I saw his arrogant attitude." Nana sits next to Raya, noticing the woman inputting data on El's behalf on the laptop as the man writes the customer's book.

"Don't know either. I have only met a few times. He's arrogant, but he wants it again, he's a customer. Is your clothes ready? let me deliver later in the afternoon," said Raya completed the incoming customer data today.

"Udah, Ma'am. I'm packing, just take it."

The palace stops in front of the gate of a luxury house. The house is the largest because it is in a corner with an unusually large land area. Maybe if he goes inside, will get lost so wide.

Twice pressed the bell on the high gate, then the security guard in the house opened the gate for him. "Good afternoon Mr. Kosim, I want to send you laundry" said Raya amiable. One month to open the laundry, Nani's mother's family twice delivered their cloth to Raya.

"Please come in, Ma'am. Directly," said Kosim transport some cloth in the form of a bedcover, while Raya carrying a plastic bag.

From the clothes delivered to her, Raya guessed that only Bu Nani lived in this house, because there was not a single man or child clothes, either, or the young lady in their laundry cloth. Only in the form of negligee, kaftan clothes, hijab types that parents like to use.

"Sore, Mom. want to send laundry," said Raya who has now entered the front page. A woman in her early 60s was sitting quietly watching a young woman who was justifying the location of her rose pot.

"Oh, oh, yes, just put it in front of the door" the woman said. "Minten, don't put it there, a bit to the left a little bit" he said with a murmur.

"Let's help." Raya had already stepped closer to the young girl who seemed to have difficulty lifting the large pot. "Still, Ma'am," said a woman named Juminten.

"It looks good here, Oma," said Raya shifted to the right, alone. A little thought, observing and then the woman smiled.

"Right, so much brighter, yeah. What did you call that? The oma? goodgood. Because I do like to be called Oma, not like my little grandchildren who like to call me Miss universe!" he said pulling the corner of his lips.

"Alright, from now on, I call Oma," said Raya smiling sincerely. For some reason, Nani observes Raya's sincere face and smile making her heart calm and peaceful. There are different feelings, as if falling in love at first sight.

"Here, sit here." said Nani pointing to the chair beside her. "Together I enjoyed a cup of tea this afternoon. Minten, make some tea for... "

"Oma Raya. I'm Raya..."

"Raya. Indonesia Raya. means big. May you be a great man..."

Nani was stunned to hear the jest of Raya. I haven't laughed this long. Usually he just kept quiet, observing the people passing by from his front house.

Now he meets Raya. Nani considered, the girl has a sincere and also good heart. Nani decides from today, she will invite Raya, connecting with Raya will make her life colorful. He will not be lonely anymore.

"You live in laundry?"

"Yes, Oma. Same as my employee."

"Oh.." His face looked grim.

"Why Oma?" tanya Raya was worried that her words had hurt the woman's heart.

"I think you're the laundry employee, not the owner, I want you to stay here" he said, staring at Raya.

"Huh? Sorry Oma, but..."

"I live in this house myself. Actually not literally alone, there are many servants, gardeners, security guards and drivers, but I feel lonely, alone here. I have a grandchild, but I never care about me." There was a mist of tears visible there. Raya could feel the sadness that the old woman was trying to hide.

"Don't be sad, Oma. Laundryku, it's close. I will play here often. Accompany Oma," said Raya ventured, approached the woman, kneeling before her to hold Nani's hand, trying to strengthen Nani's heart.

"Promise?"

"Yes, Oma. I promise."

"Once in a while stay here too, huh?"

"Huh? Breathe? but..." Raya did not continue her words, Nani again lowered her head. "Yes, I promise I will stay here, but if I have one more employee, let there be friends Nani," said Raya smiling. He felt moved, Nani was so expecting his existence. It was as if she was getting the affection of a mother, or rather the affection of a grandmother that she had never felt all along.

"Okay, Oma will keep your promise." Nani is back happy. Trivial things can make him happy. Once in a while life, on the other hand, people will struggle, from dawn to the sun held captive at night looking for money to fill their stomachs, but, on the other hand, people make money like Nani, it just feels empty, empty and lonely left by the family. Life does need money, but money cannot buy true happiness.

Juminten came with drinks and snacks. The two told me a happy laugh. Not feeling two hours passed, Raya also please resign.

"But you promise, will you visit again?" ask Oma worried.

"Yes, Oma's Promise."

"Eh, are there guests?" the voice of the man who had just arrived at the mansion distracted them. The two women were shocked at the unexpected arrival of the same man to be here today.

"Pipe..."

"Pipe..."

The two simultaneously mentioned the name of the handsome man who only smiled seeing a shocked face on them. "Your pumpkins, yeah. So excited to see my arrival, to say my name can be so compact," he said smiling, showing off his white teeth just now.

"You know that little boy?" tanya Nani looked suspiciously at Raya. A gaze that seemed to want to say, 'Don't get in touch with this demon!'
