The Passion of the Actor
The Chapter 70

"Why are you protecting her? you like him, don't you, El?" meyra snapped with tears.

An hour ago Elrick arrived at his apartment, and upon seeing the figure of the man, of course he was overjoyed. He thought the man who came to him without prior notice, because the man missed him so much and was even more sorry after their actual quarrel.

But Meyra's hopes had to be hung deep in the eastern horizon, for Elrick came to see her, to say the thing she feared the most. Elrick cut off their relationship. Meyra's whining did not succeed in stirring Elrick's heart, the man remained on his decision.

"This is your last evil deed to Raya! If until I know you touch him a little, then I will make you regret being born into this world! Remember Mey, you know very well how I am if I'm crazy!"

Meyra's face paled. He had not expected that Elrick would threaten him to such an extent, and all this was only because of a woman from the village?!

"What's the advantage of him, El? what was my lack until you chose it? What didn't I do to you? everything you command I always follow. Why don't you want to be with me?" hysterical screams.

Elrick did not respond, only staring in disdain at the girl, remembering what he had done to Raya. Without saying anything else, he left, leaving Meyra with his vow of absorbency.

This time Elrick wasn't kidding. Safety is more than anything. Maybe little by little he realized that the guilt to have to take responsibility for damaging the Kingdom when it turned into a sense of liking. Elrick realized it now.

It had been an hour Raya exchanged glances with Elrick, unbeknownst to Oma who was also currently sitting with them. Although still impressed indifferent, but Elrick always talk softly to him.

"From the fact that you're stealing each other's eyes, you better just go on a date" said Oma pretending to still pay attention to the cloth she knits.

Raya's face successfully met red. Oma always manages to embarrass him every time he gets close to Elrick. Out of nowhere the woman knew that they secretly stole each other's eyes.

Elrick could not resist his embarrassment, until he got up leaving the two behind. Choosing to pull over, and lulled with his thoughts. He likes Raya. Even very. And he was already convinced to tell Raya.

The plan, today he would say to Raya. He has strengthened his mentality and determination.

15 Minutes passed, Elrick who was impatiently waiting for the conversation between Raya and her Oma to be finished so as to pull the girl's hand somewhere, so that no one could disturb her.

To waste time, Elrick reviewed the draft that they are currently working on.

As he struggled with his work, Elrick did not hear the sound of footsteps approaching. A tall figure stood in front of him.

Elrick looked up, staring from the tip of his foot to the man's face. Why did Dipa stand before him? Get him to fight again? elrick was not interested.

Both of them looked at me, without speaking. But Elrick judged, the look in the eyes did not reflect a sense of resentment to him, instead felt concerned. What's the matter? why does Dipa feel sorry for him?

Without saying a word, Dipa placed a piece of paper on the table in front of Elrick. Full of interest, Elrick stared at the tearing of the paper that had begun to tangle the scars of the handcuffs.

Waiting for Dipa's words not to come, Elrick picked up the paper. Reading the writing that was there, which managed to make his forehead wrinkle.

An address away from this town, but he knows exactly where it is. "You better get there!"

That was all Dipa said, before the handsome man passed away. Elrick wanted to ask why he had to go there, but had yet to open his mouth, Dipa had already passed.

***

"What are you doing here?" asked Elrick who met accidentally at a crossroads, near the stop was standing waiting for transport.

"Mas Elrick, I just came from Tikkit, sent a package to the village, make dad. What's Elrick doing here?"

Elrick was confused as to what to answer. He passed by with the intention of finding the address Dipa gave him and saw Raya there and stopped.

He himself was not sure at first. Not even intending to go there, but two days his mind continued to be seized there, as if to find out what was there.

After further thought, Elrick decided to leave. "Loe... You want to come with me?" tanyanya doubt. He was actually confused, why exactly invite Raya, but at least the two made him have the strength, at least dare to accept the intent of the puzzle Dipa.

"Oh, did Elrick ask me to be with you? whither? I can, but not for long. I had to send Bu Jeje's cloth to Mr. Roy," he said, opening the car door and going inside.

***

A few hours later, they arrived at the hospital parking lot corresponding to the address Dipa gave.

A myriad of question marks flashed back in his mind. What is the purpose of Dipa. Not getting an answer, Elrick intends to go home, but has not yet re-entered the car, incoming messages from Dipa.

Curiosity was growing on Elrick's chest, he rushed towards the room and room Dipa mentioned in her message.

After talking to the doctor in charge, over the patient in the room, Elrick's entire body went limp.

He doesn't believe what he hears. As if hypnotized, Elrick followed in the footsteps of the doctor. Raya faithfully followed Elrick walking in the corridor of the room.

Door opens. In the room sat a woman facing the window. Elrick's body shook violently. This was impossible, everything he saw was impossible.

A shadow of the past appeared in his memory. Sick and sore. He never expected this day to come. The man's heart was pounding so fast, his legs were unable to stand, and he almost fell to the floor. Lucky Raya's hand immediately held Elrick's hand. Support the man. He knows what's going on now, though he's not sure. Elrick's pale face quite explained everything he wanted to know.

Raya wanted to give Elrick strength, linking her fingers to the man's fingers. Evidently, Elrick grasped firmly the hand of Raya. He needs Raya, very. Fate did indeed lead him to meet the girl today in order to accompany her here, facing off against the woman he wanted to forget, what he hates that has made him a cold man who has hatred for women, who do not believe in love and loyalty.

"Mr Elrick, please talk to Silvira's mother."
