The Passion of the Actor

The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 60's


That night, wrapped in silence in the room, Raya could not sleep at all, her mind continued to explore, guessing where Elrick was currently. Wondering if that guy is okay.


One thing Raya is sure, Elrick is currently definitely in a state of shock, Dipa's words must hurt her heart the deepest.


It's 10pm, Raya's eager to see Elrick. Twice in trouble, the man always comes to his aid, why isn't he there when the man is in trouble?


"Oma, are you asleep? Mmm... I'm going home first, yes Oma?"


Nani who was also still awake turned to face Raya who was now sitting cross-legged. "Why are you coming home?"


"I... I want to see the situation of Nana and also Ranti," said Raya biting her lips. The plain girl's face was always unconvincing when lying, so Oma could guess that Raya did have a reason to go home just not nice to say the real reason. Nani guessed, Raya might want her own space this time because it was so shocked by the fights of her two grandchildren.


"Let Parman take you home" said Oma, who was sitting in front of Raya, stroking the girl's cheek gently.

"It's over, Ma'am." Raya's reverie is interrupted by Parman's voice. Raya raised her face, her forehead looking wrinkled weighing something.


"Sir, can I ask for help, right? I'm going to a friend's house, can you take me, sir?" tanyanya doubt. He was afraid that if Mr. Parman was angry because he had been disturbed, he was also afraid that Parman would tell Nani where Raya was headed. But he had no other choice, in knowing the name of the place, but did not dare to go alone with the online ojek.


"Please what, Ma'am? Just say. I'll be happy to help."


"I.. may you please take me to the South Jakarta area?"


Raya's worries turned out to be unreasonable, because without asking this and that, Parman immediately nodded and immediately brought Raya to where she was headed.


Raya is still standing on the side of the road. Still watching the car Parman was driving on until it disappeared in the middle of the night. He deliberately asked to get down there, with the aim that Mr. Parman did not know the true destination of Raya. From there, Raya will walk 20 minutes to the parking lot of the tall building. Unfortunately, when heading to Elrick's apartment, rain suddenly fell on the earth. The entire body of Raya was also wet.


"Sorry, who do you want to see?" ask the security guard at the security guard post.


"I want to see Mas Elrick" he said shivering in the cold.


Of course the security guard knew who Raya meant. There's only one Elrick in that apartment. "Sir, what do you want to do to find Mr. Elrick these nights? Besides, Mr. Elrick is not here, he has not returned" the mustache security guard said.


"Not home yet?" He was worried about Elrick. What's he supposed to do? want to go home does not have a fee, but if it is, he could have paid at home. But did he just go home? Why hasn't his heart calmed down yet to make sure Elrick's okay?


"Sir, can I wait for Mas Elrick here?"


"Fear, Mr. Elrick didn't come home. Usually, he rarely lives here, too," the light of the man still stared doubtfully at Raya. Actually who he is and what interests are so urgent that we have to meet Elrick tonight.


"No, sir. I just wait an hour. If he hasn't come home, I'll come back."


***


Not until an hour, the man's car waiting for Raya arrived. Mang Ujang, the apartment security guard hurriedly came to Elrick who had parked his car.


"What's wrong?" elrick asked squinted, asking in his arrogant style at the Ujang mang.


"Anu, Sir. That's what father is looking for. Suck up."


Elrick's face didn't seem to care. He's guessing for sure Meyra. The girl was no longer able to enter her room because her password had been replaced by Elrick.


"Take it home, sir." The answer is to walk into the apartment lobby.


"Oh, well sir," he walked away. Elrick still had time to hear the tweet of mang ujang, "Pity the Mother, where overslept again. Dry clothes on the body but Mr. Elrick won't even meet."


Elrick's stunned. Momentary weighing. If it was Meyra, the girl could not be willing to wait for him to come home, until he fell asleep at the security guard post. Second, if it's Meyra, she knows where to look for Elrick if she doesn't find him in the apartment.


Returning from Oma's house filled with anger, Elrick was ready to gas, but, as Meyra caught up and rushed to get into the car, Elrick rebuked, and asked her to go home alone. She did not want to be bothered by anyone, and Meyra was well acquainted with the character of Elrick to not want to force to follow the man when in big trouble.


Usually, every time Elrick has a big problem, the man will vent to Meyra, making rough love until dawn and his anger subsides. For Meyra who hyper***, it was exactly what she wanted, but the consequences, Meyra's body will be bruised because of the very strong grip given Elrick.


If indeed Elrick refused himself, then Meyra wisely chose to retreat and disappear for a while. He was also shocked by the truth he had obtained. Didn't expect the conflict in the Royal family to be that complex. So Meyra decided to party with her friends instead of accompanying Elrick who was angry.


Full of curiosity, Elrick followed the steps of Mang Ujang to the post and his guess in the middle of the road was right, the woman was Raya.


"How long has he been here, sir?"


"It's almost an hour, sir. It was coming when it was raining, the ma'am got here soaking wet."


"Basic fool!" The great-grandson Elrick snorted violently. Staring at the sleeping face of Raya, with her head leaned against the wall. Elrick's heart, which had been hot since then, was now cool after seeing the girl's shady face.


Regardless of Mang Ujang's questioning gaze, Elrick squatted in front of Raya. Observing that pretty face, then a line of faint smiles curved across her lips.


"Hey, wake up" he said, patting Raya's cheek gently in Elrick's hand. Still not awake, Raya has fallen into a dream. Elrick repeated again, until Raya woke up.


"Mas Elrick, are you home? I wait for you. Where is aja from?" his babble with eyes was still sleepy and also yawned twice. Elrick touched Raya's shirt, damp.


"Basic stupid! Follow me!"
