The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 76's

The Royal Family is excited about preparing the need for Elrick and Raya's wedding party. Everyone was happy with the news. Oma has even asked designers to make ivory white kebaya that Raya will use later.

If he obeys Nani's wishes, he wants to hold his granddaughter's wedding party grandly, but Elrick holds her back. He had promised Raya, to grant the girl's request, to have this marriage simply.

Raya who is still not confident because of her status has not dared to appear as the wife of a Royal Elrick.

Whatever Raya's wishes Elrick granted, and this included. He agreed that their marriage was a sacred moment attended only by the nuclear family, not by the luxury and frenzy of people who put on fake faces, he said, who tried to lick and take his heart in order to establish cooperation with his company.

Darma is also on his way to Jakarta. The man was of course shocked to get word from Raya that she was getting married next week. Darma had banned, saying that a hasty marriage would not result in a good household.

"You should have known him longer. I don't want you to fail a second time. In the past with Dika also you only briefly know each other, see now," Darma said by telephone that night.

"But I'm sure, Dad. Me and Elrick are gonna be happy. I beg the blessing of our marriage yes, Dad," said Raya as she sobbed.

Darma's heart melts from her daughter's cries and decides to approve their marriage.

The days keep passing. Raya is preoccupied with dress fittings and also full body care forced by Nani. "Am I really ugly, Oma, until my face has to be cleaned up?" Raya has been bored since it was smeared with various kinds of beauty creams and lotions.

"You're so pretty. But Oma wants you to be more stunning on your first night. So, don't protest too much, just trust Oma."

There is nothing more to do than to obey. He was too happy to worry about such a small thing.

It's just that, not always happiness that comes to self, other people feel it too. Since Dipa asked for a direct explanation from Raya about the news of her being married to Elrick, the man never appeared again at Oma's house. In Raya's heart, of course, there were concerns, but to contact Dipa, inquire about the man's circumstances and news, Raya certainly had no capacity.

***

It should be a matter of days before the wedding, there is only happiness for the bride-to-be, but not for Raya. Tomorrow is their wedding day but Elrick hasn't arrived from Bali yet.

"I'll be here soon, baby, don't worry. Now you just rest, let's look beautiful tomorrow." Elrick smiled at the thought of his bride who would look so beautiful. "I miss you" he continued.

"Ray.."he repeated softly for not getting an answer from her girl. His body was already very tired, if the signature of this cooperation could be represented, then he would assign Bagas, but the man who became the partner asked him directly to not give him another choice.

"Me too..."

***

At 11pm Elrick arrived at his apartment. His strength had already drained out due to three days which were extremely exhausting and left him unable to sleep.

However, imagining the beautiful face of his future wife can make him a little more excited. Tomorrow Raya will be his wife, and no one will be able to separate them.

Imagining a harmonious happy household, suddenly Elrick remembered an important thing that until this moment he had not discussed with Raya. He was confused as to what it was important to discuss at the moment. Even if Raya knew she had taken away her honor, but now, she would also be responsible for the next life of Raya. It shouldn't be another matter, but why did he still feel uneasy.

"I think you've forgotten me," greeted Raya's voice from across the street. He had been waiting for the call from the man for a long time.

"Based on stupid girl. I may forget my future wife. Have you eaten? what the hell are you doing?"

"I? There aren't. All I did was think of you" he said shyly. He becomes more daring to express himself after coming into contact with Elrick.

"really? How lucky I am to have in mind a girl as beautiful as you."

Raya smiled, blushed embarrassed, even though the person who praised her was not in front of her.

"Ray..."

"Mmmm...?"

"There's something I want to tell you" he said in a hesitant tone. Something like this he should have said directly. But Elrick doesn't have time. She couldn't possibly be allowed to meet with Raya, Darma would strangle her neck if it banged on their door this late. If you have to wait tomorrow, at ten o'clock in the morning they've got a wedding. So, even though he seems not gentle, he will tell Raya tonight and hope that the girl can understand and forgive him.

"Ray. I want to say one important thing to you. But I'm confused where to start...."

"Why should you be confused? Let's say. Is this important?"

"It seems so," sambar Elrick weighed.

"Then just say it, Mom. Father said, the household based on secrets between husband and wife, will be difficult later. Honesty is the main foundation of a husband and wife relationship."

Daddy's? Elrick remembered the man. If Raya could accept, what about the man, would it still allow her to marry this daughter she cares about the most?

"Ray, does your father not like me?"

"Dad? Dad never said he didn't like Elrick. If you met, and Dad's attitude was so cold to Mas, it's all because he wanted to protect me, he didn't want any other man to hurt me. In this world, the one that my father hated the most, just that jerk who took away my madness, on that damned night!"

Duars!

Guts Elrick shrieks. His face paled like he had just seen a ghost. How could she be telling the truth to Raya tonight, they might fail to get married.

"Hate that your father for her?" elrick muttered involuntarily, but still could be heard by Raya.

"Very. Me either. I wouldn't want to meet that jerk let alone forgive him!" the Sahut Raya is weak. She was not a vengeful girl, but every fateful incident that came in her dream, Raya would be hysterical and cry out in fear.

Elrick's feelings were breaking into pieces. She loved Raya very much, and did not want their marriage to be annulled, so having no other choice, she decided to keep the secret to death.
