The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 33

"Don't cry anymore." said Elrick as gently as he could. This girl who was curled up next to him, still did not stop crying. There were bruises on the cheeks and corners of Raya's lips, the former hands of one of the criminals, retorted because Raya had dared to shout at the red light earlier.

Had Raya not shouted loudly, Elrick who was with Bagas across the street at the red light that was just about to pass because it was a green light, looked at the car. Although in doubt it was Raya, Elrick's impulse to turn around and follow the car was so great.

"Where are we going, boss?" tanya Bagas who was invited by Elrick to stop by Nani's house after returning from a meeting. He was surprised when Elrick asked him to turn around and pointed at the car they had to follow.

"Just do. Follow that car!" said firmly. After that, the two who had indeed no doubt martial arts against the four herds of criminals.

"Ray, please. don't cry anymore. It's all over. Lo's safe.." repeated Elrick mixed feelings. Honestly, he never loved women, he hated women very much. For him they are just a place to have fun while venting his anger that sometimes arises when remembering the woman who has left him. But at Raya, no matter where the angel came from, those tears made her feel angry at the person who had already hurt Raya and how much she wanted to protect the girl.

Bagas had asked Elrick to take a motorcycle taxi to the Laundry Kingdom, checking on Nana's condition.

Confused as to how, without realizing Elrick had brought Raya to his apartment. The car stopped in front of the luxurious building. "Why come here?" tanya Raya was still with sobs like her little child. It was only natural that if he felt frightened, he had just survived his life-sucking mission.

"We treat your wounds first. Anyway, you want to go home in this situation?"

It's worth considering Elrick's words are true too. After all, if he came home with a wounded face like this, Nana would be more panicked, it could be asking to stop from laundry.

Bright light shines on the apartment that looks neat and dominated by black, white and gray. Color is not clear, like Elrick's past.

"Sit down first. I'm gonna go get a P3K box" Elrick said, walking into the room. Not five minutes back out. "No meeting. There was only the rest of the Betadine bottle empty" he said, showing the bottle in his hand. "Lo wait here, I buy it down first. If you are thirsty, take it in the refrigerator. I'll be right back."

Elrick is gone, leaving the Kingdom. The time alone was used to research every inch of the objects in the room. From his observation, Elrick type neat man, and seemed closed, do not want people to know what the contents of his heart and mind, evidenced by the choice of colors that enveloped the entire room of the apartment.

Half an hour passed, Elrick had not returned yet. The throat feels dry. Given that the house has also allowed to take its own drinks, Raya got up, headed for the refrigerator.

There were many kinds of drinks, but he did not know one. Confused and afraid of being taken wrongly, Raya took a drink that resembled UC1000, orange juice in a glass bottle. Opened, then tasted a little, there is a pungent, yet sweet taste. He tried again, until the bottle ran out. Put an empty bottle on the dining table. Step back into its place. Waiting again.

Elrick hasn't returned yet, and Raya is already terrified. The sweet taste of the drink was still left on her lips, licked and thinking of wanting to drink again, but she knew herself, to not take it anymore.

One bottle was gone, his smile came out. He loved that drink. Make his mind calm. "Tomorrow I will buy, this is so good," she stared at the empty bottle full of cravings. Raya brought the bottle closer, read the brand of the drink, but because it was written in English, Raya only snorted because she did not understand.

Walk back to the couch, sit down, then feel sleepy greeting him. At the corner of his lips he no longer felt.

"Old sorry. The nearest pharmacy from here is closed, I have to look elsewhere," said Elrick entered and found Raya had fallen asleep on the sofa.

"Raya.. hey.." said Elrick observing the girl. However, because there was no reaction, Elrick pulled Raya's hand to sit back, but full of annoyance because her sleep was disturbed, Raya distanced Elrick's hand. "Don't bother me, I'm going to bed. There's Nana..."

The way Raya spoke was a little different, making Elrick round his eyes. That girl is like a drunken fool. As forcefully as possible, Elrick woke up the Kingdom, propping it up so that it could sit up straight. Patting her cheek again. Elrick can smell radler beer.

"Lo why? You're drinking wrong?" ask Elrick. Salah himself asked the drunk man, of course he got no answer. Elrick got up and headed for the fridge. Not until opening the refrigerator, Elrick had seen two empty bottles of radler beer on the table. He could only shake and grunt violently.

"Basic hick! distinguish where the liquor just do not know," he said as he pulled the sofa table in front of Raya and sat there, facing Raya. "This has to be resolved quickly, so I can take people home. It's so hard, anyway!" his great-grandson opened the medicine box, began smearing the corner of Kingdom's lips with the medicine given by the pharmacist earlier, according to his instructions.

Suddenly Raya's eyes opened, looking at Elrick in front of her, then with a twitching look, Raya stuck her hand out to Elrick's cheek. The man was of course surprised, pulling his body back, so as not to reach the Kingdom, but the Kingdom came forward and his hands were stuck on the cheeks of the masculine man. "Nana, you're kurusan? why are your cheeks so thin?" the babble muffled Elrick's cheek. What can that man do? he is busy at the moment to ease his heart. It was four times firmer just from receiving the woman's touch on her cheek. Is he so weak to the touch of Kingdom?

"Nana, are you okay?" raya is still stroking Elrick's cheek. The man half-dead concentrated on still smearing the cream on Raya's bruised cheek. Suddenly Raya cupped both cheeks of Elrick with both hands, brought her face closer, then cup..

One kiss landed on the arrogant man's cheek, without him being able to avoid it. Die already. His heart pounding faster, Elrick's about to explode!
