Love of the Actor
Chapter 68 - The Path together



In the dressing room there was only Ela and Elmer there. Elmer was delighted that no one was bothering them.


"Ela, after this are you busy?" ask Elmer.


"Why ask?"


"Can't you?"


"I'm not busy" replied Ela, who made Elmer smile. The man continued to stare at Ela as if begging for something.


"What the hell? If you want something directly say it, I'm not a psychic who can guess."


Fooled by Elmer.


"Yuk streets! Watch a movie or go where the cake is good" asked Elmer.


Ela immediately looked at Elmer slightly narrowed.


"You know you're a famous person, right? What if someone else who knows you keeps swarming down the street. Aren't you afraid of a touch that could make you sick? Do you really want to make me bother?"


Instead of being angry, Elmer actually smiled because he felt noticed by Ela. Elmer was really impatient, Ela completely fell in her charm.


"If only you were mine. I probably kissed you too!"


Ela's eyes immediately swerved and hit Elmer's arm then came out of the dressing room.


"Ah, what a funny attitude."

Ela now sits in the break room and meets Sam there who just finished chatting with the production. Sam approached Ela and sat down beside her.


"Why El? Elmer did it again, didn't he? Your face looks so pissed?"


"Yes, your artist always pisses me off." Ela complains that makes Sam just jerk around. He said love but his hobbies upset loved ones. Who else if not Elmer.


"You know what he is, El. I was sometimes made to feel dizzy by him. Not sometimes, but often. Today, he asked me to rearrange his schedule so that it would be no more work."


"Elmer took me for a walk. Maybe that's the reason. Even though he did not know I would answer yes, he changed his schedule. Was he always that confident?"


Well, finally Sam knows why Elmer doesn't want any more work schedules. Apparently the man wanted to enjoy time with Ela. Completely beyond his expectations. Elmer's been really bucin to Ela.


"Ela, you know that he's not messing with you. I hope you can make a decision soon. I know you're a good woman. But don't hang a man too long. For a long time they will also be tired and careless and will eventually leave slowly. I'm sure you have the same taste. Ask my heart El. I went to Elmer first, afraid something might happen there."


Sam left in front of Ela. Sam's words made Ela speech silent with the contents of her mind. Does he actually have a taste? Is that really so? But why does it feel like nothing?

Ela accepts Elmer's invitation for a way out. Ela chose to go to a lake that people rarely visit. It's much better for Elmer's privacy.


Both are on a boat they row themselves. Their positions face each other. In the middle of the lake, Elmer stopped rowing and looked towards the lake water so clear that the fish inside were visible.


"When again see a view as beautiful as this along with the person we want. I honestly come here often. It was the first time I went down the lake by boat. Do you remember a man who was bedwetting with big round glasses?"


"Yes, I remember. But why do you know that I've met a man like that?" ask the curious Ela.


Elmer smiled meaningfully then confessed.


"That man is me El. I'm Zion."


Ela honestly Tidka believes that because Zion and Elmer look different, Zion is kind of friendly and Elmer is overconfident and unfriendly.


"It doesn't seem to."


"That's me Ela. I usually disguise myself so I can live freely as a commoner. Because if it wasn't so I'd feel cooped up with the popularity I've got."


In the end, Ela believed and looked at Elmer question mark. If Elmer feels confined shouldn't the man just quit that world? Why is it still continuing?


"You must be wondering why I still exist and survive in this world. Of course because I like it. Every choice we make has its risks. And this is the risk of the choice I made. Maybe someday if I get tired, I will really leave the entertainment world and obey the wishes of my father. Because I'm the only successor."


Ela understood Elmer's words. He looked at Elmer from another point of view. There's a good thing he got from Elmer.


"It turns out I misjudged you. You're not who I thought you were."


"Therefore don't just look at people from the cover doang," said Elmer.


"Hm," only Deheman replied by Ela.


Elmer began to row again to the edge of the lake. The two got off the boat and started sitting on the edge of the lake leaning against the trees. Position of the legs straightened forward.


"If only I could be this happy every day. Maybe all the burdens I carry are light and may not even feel at all."


"Only like this are you happy?"


Elmer nodded.


"The point is to be happy when we are with the person we want to be. Enjoy the same time and place. Simple maybe, but I'm happy El. Although I don't know if you feel happy with me either."


"You want to know my answer?" ask Ela to Elmer who immediately got the sleigh from Elmer.


"Why?"


"I don't want to hear the answer yet. Just save it, you can answer it for later when you're ready and know the end result of how you feel."


Ela kept staring at Elmer.


"Don't look at me El. You're gonna get caught up in my charms and it's hard to get out."


Ela grunts as hell. Just got praised and Ela thought something else about Elmer. Now Elmer is back in male fashion with high self-confidence.


The sky is red, the sign of the day will change to night. The two of them left the lake and went home in their own cars. Even so, Elmer still drove Ela to the front of the woman's house to make sure the woman he loved was really safe until the goal.


After that, Elmer immediately drove his car at full speed to get home as well.
