The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 53's

Nani hasn't been this happy for a long time. Since the Kingdom was in their midst, his two grandchildren often visited him without even being asked to come.

"Oma, look what I'm carrying," Dipa's voice coming from the living room made all eyes turn to her. Elrick knew his time was up, so chose to step aside.

Nani who knows the reason makes him understand. Elrick was still in the room just a little bit away from there.

"What's that?" ask Oma enthusiastically.

"Rhum," he said. Dipa knew her grandmother liked the drink, to warm the body what else when the cold weather like this.

Elrick always disagrees with the way Dipa pleases their Oma. Oma was no longer supposed to drink such a drink. "Ray, you drink too yes" said Dipa pouring in a small glass for the girl.

"No need, Dip. I can't drink" he said subtly.

"Raya, you always turned me down. I take you for a drink, you don't want to, I give you a piece of jewelry to refuse, I'll marry you refuse" said Dipa, who was also heard by Elrick in the corner of the room where she stayed.

"Dip.. please, don't discuss. I've apologized, please.." said Raya.

In his place, Elrick stumbled on a smile. There was a feeling of pleasure to hear Raya reject all Dipa's gifts. "Good girl," unconsciously her lips said that.

At ten, Elrick left the three of them and went up to his room. However, at 12pm when Elrick came down, he only found Dipa asleep on the sofa. The man seems to be drunk. Elrick looked at his cousin's face, then shook his head.

The cloth used by Oma to cover her legs while watching, Elrick used to cover Dipa's body.

Maybe from the outside, Elrick looked cold and seemed to hate Dipa, but deep down, he loved the man who was already considered his sister. It's just that the way an Elrick is not the same as others when they want to show their affection.

Wanting to return to his room, Elrick decided to take mineral water first to be taken to the room. Just as it entered the kitchen, its body collided with the Kingdom.

"Oh," The moaning is holding his eel that hit Elrick's chest.

"That's why we use our eyes."

"Wear dong's feet, Mas.." replied Raya smiling. "Why would you like a drink? want coffee or tea? let me make it."

"Coffee," he said short. Always so, as long as you see Raya smiling, her heart pounding fiercely. He doesn't like this, Elrick's afraid of a heart attack.

While making coffee, Elrick watched Raya from behind. His dirty thoughts appeared. He clearly remembered how the curves of the Kingdom's body behind the loose clothes he was currently wearing were. He also remembered the village*han Kingdom which made his body convulse and tremble violently.

"This, Mas...."

Long daydream Elrick's crap. He steadied Raya's face. The regret reappeared. The girl sat in front of him, subconsciously extending her hand towards Raya's cheek. Grooming gently and also lovingly.

Raya's call made Elrick realize, the movement of his hand stopped on Raya's cheek, then to kill her awkwardness, he pinched the girl's cheek until complaining.

"Au. hurts, Mas. How come my cheeks are pinched anyway?"

"Ha-lost cheeks lo round kayak bakpao. Basic for the dinner. How much sushi did you eat?"

"Mmm. a little. At least ten," he said patting his cheek that still hurts the scars of Elrick's pinch.

Elrick was still nervous, especially since Raya was still staring at him. "Ray, if I may know, why did you reject Dipa's proposal? he's a good man, who can definitely take care of you and give happiness to you," said Elrick sincerely. He felt sorry for the Kingdom who had been suffering so far. If indeed Dipa sincerely wants to marry her with all her shortcomings, then it would be better for her.

There was nothing Elrick could trust for the happiness of the Kingdom other than Dipa. He knew his cousin, a man of kindness and tenderness. Very different from her.

"Listen up, yeah. There is no reason what Mas. I just realized I didn't deserve him. I'm a widow, a poor country girl who's not pretty, not fashionable and has nothing to be proud of."

Elrick was annoyed that every Kingdom felt insecure like this. He hated it because the girl did not realize the many advantages he had that could make people interested and even fall in love with him.

"Lo's got everything a good guy needs, Ray. You even have a body that makes your husband later so addicted," said Elrick who of course only dared to say in his heart.

"If Dipa asks you, it means she sees a lot of advantages in you."

"But to get married is not just knowing and judging someone is good. For me, after a failed marriage, I want to be given a mate to God, want to marry the man I love," said Raya smiled sweetly at Elrick who again triggered the man's heartbeat pounding.

"First, when you married your ex-husband, didn't you love him?"

Raya shook. Until I divorced Mas Dika, I didn't feel that love either. I don't know what it's like to fall in love, but what I read, the stories in the online novels, falling in love it's said the heart will beat fast, the breath choked every time we see the person we love. Want to always meet, and after meeting, so nervous and misbehaved," said Raya with full confidence. "And to Dipa, I don't feel it."

"Why did you marry him?"

Just shut up for a moment. His father had explained it before Oma and Dipa. But to explain itself, it feels the tongue of the Kingdom complacent. The thing he wanted to bury, he forgot. But the longer the fear of the problem, the more it made Raya feel slumped.

It wasn't his fault. He's not selling himself. He was just a victim, so it was not a disgrace that had to burden him down.

"I was raped by someone once." Silent raya. He looked down, looking at the dining table motif, as if there was a recording of the incident he could see.

"Raped? why are you sure you were raped?" after Elrick who felt unacceptable. He did not feel raping Raya. He already paid dearly for the body of the Kingdom that night. 20 million!

"I woke up in a hotel room, with my head dizzy and so heavy. And there's pain in my part... If not raped what should I call it?" tanya Raya loudly. He hates Elrick, who thinks he's lying. Just like the villagers who do not believe when he said that he was being questioned*sa, not selling himself like their accusations.
