Love of the Actor
Chapter 18 - Do you want to be my protective shield?



Ela exited the costume room and was about to go to her boutique to pick up some extra clothes. However, he forgets the car keys he put on the dresser when he helped Elmer clean up the rest of the make-up.


As a result, Ela walked back inside when she was already in the parking lot.


While near the costume room, he overhears Elmer telling a woman to leave. Although there is a bad feeling going into the room, Ela still has to go there to retrieve her car keys.


How surprised he was, when he saw the state of Elmer like last time. His shock grew when Elmer suddenly hugged him from the front. The man rested his head on Ela's shoulder.


The confusion, the shock of the present situation made Ela like a fool. Want to pull over Elmer's embrace he can't afford. Especially when hearing the roar of Elmer's breath hunting as if holding back the pain felt. Even her cold sweaty hands could be felt because of Elmer grasping her hands.


Bella then left with a sharp eye on Ela and a sense of annoyance that enveloped her that was ignored by Elmer.


Out of nowhere, one of Ela's idle hands, she uses to stroke Elmer's back. Slowly all the pain Elmer felt disappeared. True, Ela was the most effective medicine to relieve her pain.


The hug came off. Elmer stared at Ela's face so intensely.


"Do you want to be my protective shield?" ask Elmer seriously.


Ela doesn't understand. What's the protective shield for anyway? Shouldn't women be taken care of by men? Why is this even back?

Elsewhere, in the waiting room, Sam was chatting with some of the crew. Bella's grumbling voice was heard by her ears.


"Huh! I'm so pissed off! Why does Elmer always ignore me? I am sure he still loves me! Strange part of it, when I just touched, suddenly he who was originally okay so sick so? Huh! Especially when Elmer who suddenly hugged the costume woman. Just makes me even more upset."


Hearing this, Sam hurriedly went to the costume room to check on Elmer. He was so worried people would know Elmer had trauma no female touch.


"Hosh .. hosh .. hosh ... "


Sam's breath was so breathless that he reached the front door of the costume room. He immediately approached Elmer and checked Elmer's situation. He breathed with relief when he saw Elmer who was fine.


However, he instead got a sharp look from Elmer like he had made a mistake.


Gluey!


Did I miss something again? Did I interrupt the serious chatter of the two?


Sam retreated to the front door and waited at the door.


Elmer asked Ela the same question again.


"Do you want to be my protective shield?"


Elmer kept watching Ela and when Ela was about to walk out. Elmer spoke up again.


"I'm serious about what I'm saying Ela."


Ela turned her head and immediately said the thing pierced Elmer's head.


"I don't know what the protective shield you're saying is. But I'm not one to be forced to do anything I don't like. If you want me to be your protective shield, make me offer it instead of you asking for it."


Elmer was stunned. He was challenged to get Ela's heart.


After Ela leaves, Sam goes inside and pulls Elmer's hand and takes him into his car.


"Well! I wonder why every day something bad happens to you El. Can you explain what happened to me?" ask Sam.


Elmer explained everything to Sam. There was nothing that he had covered up because he believed in Sam completely.


"Oh, the woman is indeed self-informed and self-conscious. He acted as if he were a victim too. I'm sure Om Sebastian is also actually caught off guard with him. Perhaps if there was a chance he would encourage the woman to go all the way from her residence."


Sam then poured his frustration on Bella. However, a few seconds later, Sam immediately confronted Elmer with another question about Ela.


"What do you mean you want to make Ela your protective shield? You really love her? Or just to use it because Ela's the only woman you can touch?"


Elmer. He doesn't even know how to answer it. All he knew was that the woman made him feel protected. The most effective medicine to relieve the pain.


"I don't know" replied Elmer.


I heard a breath of Sam. The mer*mas his own hand because of the anxiety with Elmer. Though he can see that Elmer is indeed starting to be interested in Ela.


Is it possible that he has not realized yet? Yes, it's natural too. He has been six years in the making. But if you think about it, I've been hanging out with him longer.


"My advice is, don't do anything that could harm you. Especially if you get caught close to a woman. Must be your fans raging all over. Not that I forbid, but better prevent."


This time a breath was heard from Elmer. The man leaned his head against the seat of his car.


"Just go home! I'm dizzy," he said.


Sam followed what Elmer said.
