Asmara The Actor

Honest

On returning home after a long day of work, Iska finds Ken at home and playing with Ana.

"Because you're here?" ask Iska.

"Yes. I want to talk to you!" answer Ken.

Sit down!" tell Iska to Ken. "It's playing in the room first. Bring it! I bought a toy for Ana." Ana was happy and ran towards her room.

"What are you talking about?" ask Iska.

"I want to ask you for a clear explanation. Why don't you want to marry me? if that's your reason it makes sense I'll take it!" ken clear.

Iska let out a lethargic breath.

"All right! I'll talk about what really happened. If I marry you then I will reconnect with my somber past!" iska clear.

"What is bothering you? your late husband's family? or how?" Ken is curious.

Iska strengthened her heart and tried to speak honestly to Ken. "I've never been married!"

Ken's shocked. "Then Ana?"

"It's my son from my ex-boyfriend!" answer Iska.

"So you're pregnant without getting married? what does this have to do with my family? I don't have a problem with that. I really love you and Ana, I'll take Ana as my own son!" firmly Ken.

"Surely something to do with it! Ana's father is Janu mas!" resolute Iska.

The deg!

Ken is very surprised by what Iska says between having to believe or how? how could Iska lie for something this big.

"Ana's age is now almost five years old and Lia's sister got married eight years ago? so you guys are having an affair?" guess Ken.

"I didn't know that Janu was married because Janu said he was still single" Isak Iska said.

Ken clenched his burly fingers and felt annoyed at Janu who betrayed his beloved sister.

"Even Janu proposed to me at that time. I believed and was so stupid back then that I was willing to give up my chastity!" added Iska. Iska also explained the incident when she was hit by Lia.

"So Lia knew too?"

"Yes! until I left Jakarta because I couldn't stand the gossip of other people who say I'm the actor who was started by your brother calling me an actor." Iska sat there wiping away her tears trying to stop crying.

Ken moved from his seat. "I don't want to believe all this Iska. But, this is so complicated!" Ken passed away.

"Wait for Ken!" iska's call stops Ken's move. "Don't tell your family about Ana, let alone Janu. Now I just want to live quietly with Ana without getting involved with my mass again."

Ken walks into his car and leaves Iska's house. Iska drooped limp on the floor hugging her knees and crying without making a sound. "When will happiness come to me? I'm tired."

Iska wakes up and tries to be strong, for Ana's sake. Removing her tears and approaching Ana who was playing in the room.

"Is it good for toys?" iska's Smile.

"Good Ma. I love it, "Anna replied.

"Continue playing. Mama's gonna take a shower and we're gonna eat." Iska grabs her towel and passes the bath after which prepares dinner for her and Ana.

Iska's divided mind can not think clearly let alone very worried if Ken to tell Janu or Lia about the existence of Ana.

When night falls. Ana falls asleep in her lap, Iska just gazing out the dark window. Like life!

"Are we going to leave here, Ana? selling this house full of memories and then we start a new life out of town. Life is calm without being bound to dark mass" murmured Iska.

Iska put Ana to sleep and Iska lay down beside Ana. Bringing everything into a dream, happiness before the eyes was forced to just be a dream.

Iska went to work with the ojol in his message. Iska knew that Ken would not come back to see her, Iska did not expect anything from Ken and tried sincerely if Ken retreated not to expect it again.

"You're not in Ken's company?" ask Arga to Iska who met in the office lobby.

"No Sir. After all, it seems that we cannot be together and from now on we will live our lives, respectively" replied Iska. "I'm first Sir!"

Arga just fell silent and regretted their long-established relationship should run aground. Arga reached into her suit pocket and took her phone to contact Hana telling her what Iska was talking about just now.

When lunch arrives, Hana comes to Arga's office and meets Iska to take her to lunch together. As usual, they eat at restaurants that they often go to. Arga did not come this time because there was a lunch appointment with the client.

"How's iska? you've been honest with Ken?" ask Hana while eating her food.

"I've been honest with everyone and last night Ken left without saying anything to me. I didn't see you today either!" answer Iska. "But maybe this is the best. We can't be with Mom."

"Hemmm I think Ken will understand and accept everything" Hana said.

"Already Ma. I don't want to talk about this anymore! thank you all this time, Ms. Hana has always been there for me and always been my place to confide." Smile Iska.

"All right! I hope that in the future happiness will really come to you!" Hana Prayer.

"Aamiin Ma'am. That's what I always hoped for" Iska said.

Hana is like a force to Iska. When down and sad Hanalah who is always there for Iska to strengthen and encourage.

...----------------...

After finishing lunch with a client, Arga accidentally meets Ken at the restaurant. Then approached Ken who sat himself with his gaze blank.

"Heh Ken! alone?" ask Arga to surprise Ken.

"Just surprised!" answer Ken.

"Why do you dream of being alone here? what are you thinking?" ask Arga.

"So I've met a client!" answer Ken.

"I know what you're going through right now. Can't you fight for your love anymore?" ask Arga.

"Too complicated!" answer Ken.

"There must be a way out of it without hurting anyone!" said Arga.

Ken digested the Arga's words. "I'm still confused and can't think straight! I can still accept that Iska's been lying to me about her status. But, I still haven't received about Ana's father!"

"liying? the status? Ana's father?" Arga wondered in surprise.

"Iska has never been married. Her status is not a widow and Ana's father is my sister-in-law!" ken clear.

"What's? seriously like that the real situation?" shocked Arga.

"Yes!"

"It's really complicated!" said Arga. "Did your sister-in-law know about Ana?"

"Yet. Iska forbade me to tell her because Iska did not want to be in touch with her masses anymore" Ken replied.

"Ken, I think you should fight for your love. Talk carefully with Iska good what should be like? I'm sure you can get through this. This is your test of love! don't give up just because of the mass, Ken!" arga's Advice.

"What you said there's a point too! I'll talk to Iska again and apologize to her."
