Love of the Actor

Chapter 82 - Rendra comes to Richard

After work, Rendra went to his house first to deliver food orders from Aura. After that, he left again and had not changed his clothes. When Aura was about to ask, Rendra hunted far away.

On the way to his parents' residence, Rendra still kept thinking about Ela. Actually why? Why is he such a fool who knows nothing about his own twin?

The car stopped, Rendra got out of the car and went into the house. Rendra kept calling her papa. But what appeared was his mother.

"Why are you shouting, Rendra? What's up?" mama Naya asked who had emerged from the kitchen.

"Papa mama?" Instead of answering Rendra instead asked the whereabouts of his papa.

"Against shower. Maybe a little long ago, you just entered a few minutes ago. Sit down, tell your mom. What's the matter, actually?"

According to Rendra, he sat on the living room sofa. His feet could not stand still, he was really curious. Does her father also know about the bad memories Ela had?

Rendra stared at her mother's face as well. His mother must have known something. It's impossible that both of his parents don't know.

"Ma, did you know what happened a few years ago about Ela's accident, that guy liked Ela and sacrificed himself for Ela?"

Mama Naya's face was shocked. It was obvious that Mama Naya didn't know anything.

"Mama doesn't know."

"What do you mean Rendra?"

"Elmer told me everything Ma. Because of the accident at that time, Ela always blamed herself for the death of her friend. Because of that, Ela is very, very afraid to fall in love and be loved by others. All this time we've been wrong about Ma. Ela may indeed want to focus on her own career, but on the other hand, apparently she harbors all that unrest and sadness, Ma. Stupidly, we as his family don't know. It was Elmer who everyone else knew. Though he didn't know for sure what happened back then."

Mama Naya immediately cried to hear the story from Rendra. As a mother, she felt unreliable by her own daughter. Because of her cheerfulness and exuberance Ela, makes her fooled by the mask made by her daughter.

"Oh my God, Ela. Sorry my mom didn't know anything. How anyway? Did Elmer tell you anything else?"

Rendra shakes.

"Elmer just told me that Ela was hard to contact and find. I almost send messages every day with Ela. Even a few calls. Only if I ask for a video call, Ela always refuses. Ela's home, isn't she?"

Mama Naya wiped her tears and answered Rendra's question.

"Ela wasn't home for almost 2 weeks. He's in Paris."

Rendra was really surprised to hear that. He's really been a bad brother, Elmer who strangers can think Ela's not home, why don't he think about it?

"So, I'm the only one who doesn't know where Ela is? Mama and papa purposely hid this from me? Then what was the reason that made Ela go there, Ma? I'm sure it's not a job."

Mama Naya was silent for a moment. Then tell me about Ela's request at that time.

"Can I have one request?" ela said as she took off the embrace of her mother.

"What's that?"

"I want to go to Paris Ma."

Mama Naya is initially surprised by Ela's request. But a few seconds later, he asked about Ela's reason.

"Why do you want to go there?"

"You go there, Ma, I haven't been there in a long time. Can you Ma?"

"How long?"

"I don't know" replied Ela.

"Well, mama's gonna tell Mami Ele."

"Thanks Ma's. But please, don't tell anyone that I went there. Enough Mom and Dad knew. If someone asks you a question and answers you're at home or you better not say anything."

Finished telling that, Mama Naya felt sorry, it should have been more forcing Ela to tell a story than waiting for Ela to tell her own story. If this happens, he becomes worried. Lest Ela go abroad to face her own problems.

Rendra could only sigh. He can't blame his mother either. Because his mother is not the type of person who likes to force.

"Ma," called Rendra in her soft voice.

"It seems Elmer really loved Ela as well as Ela. Although Ela never said anything about her feelings, only Elmer knew about her problems. We whose family doesn't know."

"Mama knows and she can feel the love from Elmer to Ela. He really wanted to get serious with Ela. But, your papa doesn't like Elmer, Rendra. Just so you know, Elmer's papa just came here to ask your papa to accept Elmer by Ela's side."

Rendra took another breath. He felt his parents' treatment was a little different for Ela. In fact, he was immediately approved when choosing Aura which incidentally is a woman who works at a night club.

As his mind continued to stir, Papa Richard came and sat there.

"Tumben came here himself? Where are Aura and papa's grandchildren?"

Instead of answering, Rendra asked Papa Richard.

"Pa, why don't you like Elmer?"

"Why did you ask the actor?"

"Jawab Pa."

Papa Richard replied because he saw Rendra who was like he was upset.

"Papa doesn't like it, he'll bring a lot of bad effects to Ela. You know for yourself, Ren. How the rumors that circulated some time ago that caused your twin to be blasphemed all out. Papa doesn't want it anymore, Ela's having it. Anyway papa will never agree."

"Pa, I know, I can feel papa's worry. But you can give me a little chance Elmer to show his struggle. When I chose my partner, I was so relaxed. But why is Ela papa so picky?"

Rendra questioned that to her papa. Because he needed an answer.

"You and Ela are different. You're a man and you're a son of a father who knows you can guide your wife well. You can also finance all your little family life. But unlike Ela, she's a woman. Papa must find a man who is really responsible and willing to take care of your daughter as well as possible."

"Okay, I understand what papa meant. But other than what you said earlier, Elmer has no shortage of Pa. The money? Of course he has because he also comes from a rich family and he is a famous actor. Love and responsibility, I'm sure he has. What kind of man is papa looking for?"

Richard became speechless while thinking about the criteria of a dream son-in-law for him.

"Originally you know Rendra, other than what you mentioned earlier. Papa doesn't get validation from Ela if she likes Elmer. So it's okay if papa rejects it."

Rendra shook his head. He finally told about Ela as he told his mother earlier. Papa Richard was immediately shocked just like Ela. He really did not expect his daughter to blame herself for the death of his friend.

"Pa, we should be ashamed of Elmer. He's a stranger in the family but instead knows about Ela's problems. So if you don't accept Elmer, can you find another man who can make Ela want to tell her the problem like to Elmer? No, right?"

Papa Richard so thought again, he really felt stupid all along. Moreover, the decision to leave Ela to Paris also he did not know the exact reason at all because Ela just said she wanted a vacation.

"Better, papa think carefully about Elmer and Ela. I'm sure Ela likes Elmer, too. It's just that there's another reason why Ela didn't say anything. I really hope you think again."
