Love of the Actor

Chapter 74 - Can I be healed?

Two days later, Elmer had recovered and had already returned to the set. Since that day, Sam always stuck to Elmer so that nothing unwanted happened again. Moreover, the movement of Bella who likes to come suddenly. Really have to watch out.

"You're really healed? If not, you can rest first."

Director Hong asked to confirm Elmer's condition.

"I've recovered Director Hong. I can do the filming back."

"Alright, tomorrow you'll start filming again. For the timetable, I'll send it to finish filming today."

Elmer nodded then sat down in an empty chair to watch the other cast members acting.

Suddenly a hand landed on Elmer's shoulder making Elmer look back and see who it was. Elmer's face turned sour.

"You're back. Though just now I intend to visit you there mumpung today my shooting schedule starts from 4 pm."

Elmer turned his lazy eye and turned his head again to see the other cast just acting.

Ergo who felt neglected immediately pulled a chair not far from him and placed it on Elmer's side.

"You're really a soybean? But what does it seem like, right? Be honest! You have a disease, right?" ergo asked as he continued to stare at Elmer's face in detail.

"What the hell? I was a soybean. Sanah you're gone. Don't bother me!" Elmer really did not want to meet with Ergo let alone argue. But Ergo doesn't even want to get out of there.

"You must have a disease, right?" ask Ergo again who has not given up.

Elmer who was tired of not wanting to serve Ergo anymore. He chose to stand up and leave.

"It seems true, Elmer must have hidden his illness. But what?"

In the makeshift rest room, Elmer laid his body in a place that was only made of mats and a round pillow. The man stared at the ceiling of the room made of woven bamboo.

There Elmer is not alone, there is Sam who sits selonjoran also with his head leaning against the pole of the latest house of wood.

"Just sleep if it's sleepy, I'll take care of you so that no one bothers you."

"You're leaving, it doesn't matter to Sam. You must be tired of taking care of me in the hospital."

"Not really, because there was Ela alternating with me at that time."

"By the way, where is Ela? I haven't seen him today."

Sam shrugged his shoulders not knowing. It was not Ela's bodyguard who followed her wherever she went.

"During the hospital, there must have been many people wondering about my illness, including Ergo, who couldn't believe I was exhausted."

"That's sure. Therefore, as much as possible you should not interact with women other than Ela. It's all for your own good."

"I've been careful, but there will always be unexpected events, right? And Bella's arrival was completely unexpected. I don't even have the energy to escape. Want to ask for help, you don't exist, so does Ela. If I push Bella, people will think I'm an abusive person."

Sam breathed slowly. Elmer's gonna feel all wrong.

"You're right, in your position at the time it was all wrong."

"Do you think I can heal? Can I be normal again?" For a while Elmer being pessimistic will have that trauma forever.

"You're definitely healed. As long as you can let go of everything. You should try it."

"I'll take a break. You can go out for some fresh air."

Elmer tilted his body and turned his back on Sam.

Sam complied and closed the door to the room, inserting a paper with the words, "It is forbidden to enter, Elmer is resting."

Sam walked around the set. He heard the words of the staff who did not like Elmer very much.

"Huh! It's really troublesome, so we have to keep rescheduling the shoot. We thought about it a few months ago. If only Elmer hadn't been sick, it would have been fine filming and we wouldn't have had to work so hard. Where the schedule should be completed until later in the afternoon."

"Patience, this is our job. Don't complain too much, your work won't be a blessing."

Sam turned his body around when one of them looked at him, Sam didn't want them to see him there. Sam walked to another place. He saw Bella being narrated by MUA. Just a moment to see already made Sam boil his emotions. As a result, Sam immediately went to another place.

Sam sees Ela sitting down after she finishes preparing the costumes for the actresses and actors. Sam approached Ela.

"Eh, Sam, how are you here? Isn't Elmer gonna be out of the hospital this afternoon?"

Sam sat down in a plastic chair and answered Ela's question.

"Elmer should have come home later in the afternoon. But you know for yourself what Elmer looks like. He wants to go home quickly. That's why Elmer was able to get out earlier than he should. Even here Elmer did not do the filming scene because it will only start tomorrow. In even a break now."

Ela shook her head. Elmer's a real stubborn guy.

"Ela, can I ask you something?"

"Ask me" replied Ela.

"You've liked Elmer yet?"

Ela fell silent. The answer is simple, only already and not. But it was hard to say by Ela's mouth. As if to answer already, but the day is still doubtful, and want to answer no, but in fact it has been.

"You still have doubts?" ask Sam again.

"Come on," replied Elmer.

"I just wanted to tell you this. Elmer does look too confident let alone a little narcissistic. But you have to remember, when it comes to love, he's the loyal type. As long as you never hurt her."

Ela was silent again. Then Sam got up and left.

"I know Ela, you're still worried. I hope you find that belief soon and can be with Elmer. I'm sure, with your union, little by little what happened to Elmer will disappear."

Without Sam knowing it, Ergo is not far from there. The man heard Sam's words.

"What happened to Elmer will disappear?" Ergo uttered the last sentence spoken by Sam.

"What's missing? Goddamnit! What is Elmer? Why so many puzzles. It would be good if I knew Elmer's weakness, I could make his image worse and his career down."

Ergo became even more curious. Even the man deliberately came to the resting place used by Elmer. Even though there was a warning sign on the doorstep, Ergo still went in there. He saw Elmer who slept curled up like a fetus without a blanket covering his body.

"Elmer, I promise you, I'll find what you're hiding from everyone. I'll dismantle it. Remember that!"

After saying that, Ergo went to sea from Elmer's house of rest and did his activities again.
