The Passion of the Actor
Chapter 86's

Elrick was proud and also moved to see the seriousness of Raya choosing him. The girl was determined to follow Elrick if until this Sunday her father had also lowered his blessing.

The man's car had already reached the front of the house, and Raya's guess was right, Darma was already standing waiting for them.

"Night, Om. Sorry, I'm late to take Raya home...."

Bruk!

One punch to Elrick's face at the end of his last sentence.

"Dad.." choked Raya into a shield for Elrick. Standing in the middle of the two men she loved so much.

"Get in.." Darma's orders are loud.

"I don't want to, Dad. I'd rather die if I didn't live with Elrick. I love her, Dad."

"Come on dad said. Until whenever you can never be with this man! Now enter!"

"Mas, what did I say. Take me away, but I'll bring me here instead" soak Raya holds Elrick's jacket, afraid that in a moment, Darma will pull her away.

"If I wanted to take you away from your father, I'd have done it a long time ago. But I know, your father's blessing is what you wanted when we got married. I will keep fighting for you. Trust me, I won't leave you" said Elrick erasing a trail of tears on Raya's cheek.

Darma, who has no heart, pulled Raya into the house and threw the door down. Direct expulsion, Elrick knows that.

***

At eight o'clock in the night, Darma was out of the house because of an RT meeting. As usual, the meeting was held at the Bu Susi stall which is also RT's mother. After completing his affairs of deliberation, they gathered at the coffee shop Bu Susi.

"I just found out, if the petrified investor builds and advances this village is a lover of Raya. Well, Mr. Darma has a great potential ghost, apparently," said Mr. Gana, village secretary.

"Alah, at least the man was just playing with the princess there. Do you not remember, Dika-kid just divorced Raya because it is not true nature," said Dika's father.

"Sampean don't say that anyway, Jo. Maybe Dika and Raya are not a match," said RT sir defending Darma.

But the man was not provoked by the words of his father Dika. He knows what a jerk Dika is. He was even grateful, Raya could escape from the snare of Dika.

"Here you are, you always defend Mr. Darma. I'd better just go home," he stood up, leaving five thousand rupiah to pay for the cup of coffee that was served for him.

Everyone who lived in the stall shook their heads at Bejo's unchanging behavior. Look down on others, and always feel the most right.

Ten minutes later, Darma came home first. Along the dark path, Darma is occupied with his thoughts. The words of the Kingdom that threatened to run away after Elrick if it did not get his blessing would be a burden on his mind. For what to hold Raya, if finally her daughter is the one who suffers more and will certainly hate her.

"Please..," Darma heard the moaning behind the weeds that she was about to pass. Darma further sharpened his hearing while accelerating his pace.

At that time, Darma saw the body of a man of his age splattered with blood on the abdomen. He recognized the man as Bejo and beside him lay a knife that the perpetrator used to stab Bejo in the stomach.

Intentions want to help, it turned out even stricken by disaster. Bejo critical and fainting. Titin, who came to the hospital, accused Darma of stabbing Bejo.

The authorities contacted by the hospital finally brought Darma. The description of some people who sat with them in the coffee shop before Darma came home actually cornered his position.

"I'm not sure Mr. Darma did it, but indeed before Mr. Bejo came home, there was an argument that was not comfortable," said Mr. Gana, followed by another testimony.

For the sake of investigation, Darma had to be put in a cell that night as well. Susi, who was there that night, immediately told Raya about what happened to her father. Without a second thought, the girl followed the boy of RT sir who hugged him with a Supra motorbike.

"Dad..," he said in tears. Since starting to leave from home to arrive at this police station, Raya continued to cry. Confused what to do.

"You must not be afraid, child. Don't cry. Dad's not wrong. Not the father of the culprit," said Darma began to tear up. What he was worried about was not himself, but who would take care of his son. Later when the villagers know the problem that befell him, they will vigorously make fun of Raya even using her daughter. It has become a habit of mothers in this village to pour gasoline on the embers.

"Go home, son."

"I don't want to go home, Dad. I want to be here, accompany me," said Raya wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

"Don't, Ray. You'll be hurt later. Go home, Son. Go to Le mu sir's house tomorrow, ask him to come."

Raya was still crying, standing glued in front of her father. What must he do to get his father out. It was then that Elrick's face appeared in his mind.

Just going away to go home, someone in a suit and has a stature more assertive and eccentric look.

The man nodded respectfully, then spoke to the police guard that night. Before long, Elrick appeared in the room.

"Yes..." He slid into Elrick's arms. Crying sobbed until the white shirt Elrick wore was wet with tears.

"Already, Honey. Don't cry anymore. I'll be out of here soon" he said, stroking Raya's back to calm her down.

It didn't take long, Mr. Darma has been allowed to go home. Elrick signed bail for Darma until he was allowed to go home.

In the car, Raya cries in Darma's arms until she falls asleep. Elrick, who was sitting next to his men, was silent without knowing what to say. Upon hearing Darma's news of going to jail, Elrick immediately took care of his lawyer to handle his case.

He was sure, this was just a misunderstanding. Darma couldn't have stabbed Bejo because he was just bickering his mouth.

They arrived in front of the house. Come in first, to wash your face. "I'll say goodbye, Om. Take it easy, my lawyer will take care of everything until Om's good name is restored."

Darma just nodded weakly. He drove up to the man's car door. "Thank you" he said quietly, to which only Elrick was called.

The thanks from Darma show his heart is open to Elrick. It proved that the man really cared, not only for Raya but for her family as well.

"Maybe all this time I've misjudged the man" said Darma more to himself, staring away until Elrick's car disappeared in the dark of night.
