The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 50's

"Na, we try the store only," said Raya who was circling the shop on Sudirman Street that afternoon. He wants to find a laundry perfume supplier that can be invited to work together to supply perfumes and prints that can be sold in his laundry.

Raya wants to expand her business, not only doing laundry but also selling laundry needs as well, besides that she uses, it can be sold for other laundry. He also wanted to order a steam iron and a dryer.

Lately a lot of customers who ask to be done express, ready in a few hours.

"It's.... Au.." his screech did not continue his words to Nana. His body was pierced by a young girl who looked terrified. Her delicate and shabby appearance made Raya feel pity.

"Sorry, Ma'am. Help me, Ma'am. There are people chasing. I'm afraid Mommy," said crying.

Raya and Nana sat with each other, and Nana immediately shook her head, gesturing for Raya not to care. Not that she has no heart, Nana is just maintaining the safety of Raya. In this capital city, there are many fraudsters disguised as humans who are trapped, zolimi and ask for mercy. Not only does it get them in trouble.

"You why? who's after you?" tanya Raya did not have the heart to leave the girl, even though her hand had been pulled Nana to leave.

"The thugs at the terminal. I'm from Kupang, Ma'am. Come over here. At first I wanted to go to my uncle's house, but the address my mother gave me was wrong. My uncle was not there. Ma'am, help me, Ma'am. I was detained by some bad men, and forced to serve the head of the terminal thugs, I managed to escape, but now they're looking for me" he said, wiping off traces of his tears.

The hunch Raya said that the girl was not lying. "We go there, yes," said Raya pointing to the restaurant. "You haven't eaten, have you?"

The girl nodded and followed Raya and Nana's steps. "What do you want to eat?" tanya Raya's. Nana's gaze continued to lock on the girl's movements, anticipating that this was just a mode, and it turned out that she was a thief.

"Anything, Ma'am. Origin can be stomach. I have not been given two days to eat with them" he said politely. Her tears just kept flowing.

"Kok you cry? why?"

"I am so grateful to have met you, Mother. It's the second time I've escaped, but they can find me. I locked up and punished myself, didn't feed me and now, I'm running away and being able to meet with Mbak, I'm very grateful to be able to meet such a good Mama for me" he said.

Raya is moved. A lot of things like this happen every day. Many girls are deceived and ensnared so they have no choice but to follow their will.

"Not crying anymore. If God brings us together, it means we are fools. What's your name?"

"Ranti, Ma'am," he replied politely. He also looked down on Nana until Nana's suspicion from the beginning was lost to change pity.

Their orders came. Raya ordered for Ranti the same food as hers. Raya and Nana observe how Ranti is so devour to eat, supporting her statement saying she has not eaten for two days.

"Now, Ma'am asked. What is your plan now? The uncle you were looking for also did not meet. Do you want to go back to the village? if so, let Mbak buy a ticket home," bargain sincere. Ranti stared in the beautiful face of Raya. Admire the beauty of the face and heart.

It turned out that in this extremely cruel world there were still good people like Raya. He thought his life was going to end in the hands of thugs who wanted to sell him. How lucky to meet someone as good as Raya. "Ran?" Raya's voice broke the silence and also broke Ranti's daydream.

"Thank you very much, Ma'am. But I'm ashamed to go home. My mother had sold goats to send me here, hoping to work and then could send money for her and help with my sister's school needs. So I'm just gonna find a job here first, ma'am. If I have enough savings, I'll just go home."

"You want to work anything, Ma'am, which is important halal and can make food. The rest if there wants me to tube, so it can be sent to the village," said Ranti timidly.

"When you work in laundry, will you?"

"The laundry? the laundry and the ironing of the clothes, huh Ma'am?"

Raya nodded, who was without command followed Nana. "You?" reload Raya.

"You, Ma'am. Am I acceptable? I have no experience. Especially using a washing machine, I don't understand, Ma'am. Understandably, I am from a remote village, there is no washing machine," he smiled.

"Later I teach you. As long as you want to learn, want to listen, then you will understand," said Nana representing Raya, because it is certain that she will teach Ranti.

"Seriously, Mother? I'd love to. I'd love to. Ma'am..."

"Oh, yes. I'm Raya and this is Nana. May our soul mate be long."

"Pipe... You're here?" pekik Raya with a smile.

"You're shocked? happy? miss me?" ask Dipa smile. His face is getting better looking. "Now, by-by." Dipa handed the Tote bag to Raya who was sitting in front of her.

"So, what a feeling," replied Raya laughing crisply. "What's this?" he continued to open the tote bag and found a lot of chocolate and other snacks. Raya took out one by one, until it reached a box wrapped in red velvet. "What's this?"

"Open dong" said Dipa smiling back. He was already impatient to see the reaction of Raya when he saw the contents. Dipa had deliberately ordered the item long ago, because she knew she was going to France.

The Ball of the Great Eye is rounded, looking at the diamond-clad bracelet on the circle of the bracelet that makes it look very luxurious. "It's..."

"Here I put it on," said Dipa without waiting for the approval of the Kingdom, took the bracelet and pulled Raya's hand. Feeling inappropriate, Raya hurriedly retracted her hand. "Ray.... why?"

"Sorry, Dip, I can't take it. It's too fancy to be just a souvenir from abroad. I don't deserve that. Thank you for your good intentions, but sorry, I can't take it. I beg you not to be offended. If this," Kingdom points to chocolate and various types of snacks. "This I accept, but if it can't."

"Why the hell, Ray? I sincerely gave you this. Why did you refuse him? can't I give something precious to someone I like? Ray, I really like you. I want to marry you. Please open your heart to you. Please, do not close yourself," said Dipa felt sad because Raya refused the gift.

"I'm sorry, Dipa. I don't want to lie to you. I know you're a good man, I feel good about you too, but for now I don't want to be in a relationship with any man. I'm still traumatized by my home failure. Dipa, we just know, you should not be rash to make a decision. I'm not necessarily as good as you have in mind. You are young, successful and even single, unlike me who is widowed. I don't deserve you."
