Love of the Actor

Chapter 58 - Knowing each other's secrets

The next morning Ela woke up from her sleep and came out of her inn room. It looked as though no one had woken up. Ela started to walk around again, because it felt different to walk around at night and in bright moments like today.

Ela stands near the outskirts of the resort that leads to the beach. He pulled his hand up to do the stretching.

"Udah woke up as well apparently," said Elmer who suddenly came and immediately stood beside him.

Ela did not immediately answer, because she felt awkward after last night she told about her anxiety. Especially for someone who hasn't been in a year. Even Ela doesn't know why, she can be that easy to tell a story. Is it because he already has Elmer's US card? I don't know, he really doesn't know.

"Have you felt better? How's heart? Still feeling anxious and thinking about your past? Are you having nightmares again?"

A series of questions Elmer gave him. While he was still silent, he did not want to answer any of it.

"I guess after you've been honest about yourself. You will open your heart to me. Turns out I was wrong. You still need time, right?"

"No, don't talk about feelings anymore. You're here for the holidays, right? Just enjoy the holiday," said Ela then left in front of Elmer.

Elmer turned around and looked at Ela's departure with a faint smile. Even if the question was ignored, it's okay. Elmer still had a lot of patient stock until Ela became his.

The sun has begun to rise, the time has shown at 8 am. Naomi had already taken a shower but still wanted to take a walk on the beach.

"There go with the sisters if you want to walk again on the beach mah. Papa wait here. Don't wait, Naomi hasn't had breakfast!"

"Okay, ready Pa!" naomi said while showing respect to Elmer.

"Come, Sus!" naomi said as she pulled her sister's hand.

Sam was sitting next to Elmer who was drinking a warm sweet tea. He picked up the boiled beans that were in the dish located on the table.

"Where is Ela, by the way? I haven't seen him this morning."

"He woke up earlier than we did. Maybe take a shower or something in her room. I don't know" replied Elmer.

Sam nodded. Then put the beans that he had opened into his mouth.

"Then why did you let Naomi come out with just her sister? What if something happens to them?"

"Yes, follow them! Later when the breakfast is ripe, I'll call you!"

Sam snorted loudly, he should not have worried about Naomi and her sisters. The beach is private, there is no one else but them.

Inevitably Sam did have to obey Elmer's words. He left with a handful of boiled beans in his hand.

Shortly after, Ela comes out of her room in a different outfit to the one she was in last night when Elmer met.

"You're so prepared to go on vacation with me that you bring all the change of clothes. I'm really impressed! Though I was gonna take you to the shopping mall and buy you clothes today."

"No need, I always carry some change of clothes in my car. Because it always has an unexpected schedule," Ela replies.

"Eum, so it looks."

Elmer was very disappointed by Ela's reply. He was very happy with that assumption. But, again broken by the words of Ela.

"Where are the others?" ask Ela.

"When you go to the beach" replied Elmer casually.

"Why don't you come?"

"If I come, you'll be alone here. I don't want that to happen. If you want to go there again, I'll be with you."

"Here you go, no," answered Ela, who sat in front of Elmer.

Both of them remained silent without saying anything. Elmer cosplay as a statue. He waited for Ela herself to open the conversation.

"Yes?" elmer answered by looking at Ela.

"On last night, you can't just forget it, or if you don't want to, don't ever talk about it to anyone else."

Ela was really scared, and Elmer told her of her unrest with Sam or anyone Elmer knew.

"Just calm. I'm not the one with the mouth lemes. I'll keep that secret to myself. Because then I feel like I'm special in your eyes. Because you only told me," replied Elmer ended with a sweet smile.

"Thank you" answered Ela and stood up from her seat.

"Where are you going?" ask Elmer.

"Front," replied Ela.

"Follow!" pinta Elmer stood up and walked behind Ela like a chick following its mother.

Time has shown at 3pm. They're all getting ready to go home. Sam will return home with Naomi and her sister while Elmer will return with Ela.

That division alone, there is a lot of debate. Of course, at first Ela did not want to because she came alone so she wanted to go home alone. But, suddenly Elmer wants to go home with him for the reason that Ela will need his help in order to change the drive. Though it was just his alibi, what he really wanted was to be alone with the woman he loved.

Although initially refused, there was finally Ela according to it because she was lazy to argue with Elmer.

On the way, Elmer always glanced at Ela while driving. He could not close his eyes to not look at the dazzling Ela.

"The real monkey! What's the accident?" said Ela.

"Yes, yeah, it's real. His name is also the eyes. If you see something beautiful, you want to keep looking, hehe."

Ela bobbing heads. He then looked to the side of the windshield. Along the road that passes there are still a lot of lush trees. Not even a single settlement was seen there. Most are just like a guard post to enter the tourist attractions.

If you recall, this is the first time Ela went to the beach after the last time she was in High School. Not too bad either, he's coming with Elmer. If Reynard hadn't been sick, maybe the holidays would have been more fun. Because he loved the beach.

"You don't regret the holidays with me and the others?"

"I thought I'd regret it at first, but I didn't. Thank you," said Ela.

Elmer smiled happily.

"If one day I ask you again, will you?"

"There was no such thing as Elmer one day. Because this is the last."

Elmer's lips immediately shriveled. He didn't like the answer that Ela gave. Really don't like it.

"You really broke El's happiness. You should have just said my word. Until when are you going to keep acting like this? In retrospect, we are getting closer now. Moreover, we know each other's secrets. You should be nice so I don't leak it."

"So, you intend to leak it?" asked Ela with a sharp look.

"Ah, no, no. It's just that I was afraid I might accidentally reveal it. Why so serious!"

Ela did not respond anymore. He just focused on looking out at the streets and ignoring whatever Elmer said afterwards.
