Love of the Actor
Chapter 98 - Bella is expelled



Time passed, still no word from Ela. He's been looking for a lot of ways to get word from Ela. Only one has not yet come to the house of the woman he loves. On that day, Elmer was having an empty clock. He went to Ela's house accompanied by Sam. On that day was an automatic holiday Richard must have been at home.


Elmer rang the doorbell while continuing to wait in fear.


The door opened and showed Mama Naya with a smile that expanded when she saw Elmer and Sam.


"You guys turned out, ayok mask."


Mama Naya invited the two to come in and sit on the living room sofa.


"What do you want to drink?" ask Mama Naya.


"No aunt, we're just for a minute. Just wanted to know Ela's situation. You see, after coming out of town, he couldn't be reached."


Elmer immediately spoke to the point because he did not want to mince words.


Mama Naya looked silent. Just about to open his mouth, Richard suddenly came and immediately sat down beside Naya with his resolute aura.


Elmer immediately swallowed his saliva. He always felt nervous when dealing directly with his papa Ela. The aura is really stressful.


"You want to find my daughter? If she can't be reached, it means she doesn't want to be close to you anymore. So how do you not know?"


"Sorry Om, but I'm sure there are other reasons that make it so. Where's Ela Om? I've been visiting it almost every day to the boutique but it's still not there. He said he worked from home."


"You better go home and rest. You must be tired of filming. Just think about your career. Please don't come here again."


Richard stood up and showed the exit of his house to Elmer and Sam. I don't want them both to come out. Elmer glanced at Mama Naya and looked at her, she seemed to want to say something but she might not be able to if there was Richard.


"Please come out."


Sam and Elmer are walking to the place where the car is parked. He got into the car and kept thinking about Ela.


Elmer's car drove out of Richard's house. On the way, Elmer opens a conversation with Sam.


"What do you think Om Richard said is true? Does Ela really not want to be in touch with me anymore?"


"I don't think Richard's talk is right. I remember very well Ela was so worried when you were in the hospital. It's impossible if suddenly Ela is like this."


Sam also expressed his opinion about Ela.


"Well, isn't it? I don't believe it either. You see, Ela said she wanted to try to open her heart. When he did, he suddenly left without any news. There must be something going on here. But what?"


Sam shrugged his shoulders not knowing.


"Don't ask me. I obviously don't know."


"Damn it! I know that too."

On a night filled with stars, Ela stared at the sky from her bedroom balcony. He was wearing a rather thin outfit even though the weather there was cold.


A voice made Ela look back.


"If you don't want to get sick, don't wear thin clothes at night. You know it's winter here, you can get Ela flu."


"I'm sorry, Mommy" Ela told Mami Ele. Mami Ele approached and gave a thick jacket to Ela.


"Let's go yuk! Chat down below. Papi Alex and Noah are at the bottom too."


Ela shook her head slowly.


"I want to be here. Later if you're satisfied, I'll go down Mi."


"Alright if that's what you want. Remember not to wear thin clothes."


"We are now a very long distance away. I really hope you can live better. Sorry, I chose to go."


Ela was silent. He remembered his memories with Elmer. Debate with Elmer, never get along if you meet until finally share each other's secrets. Elmer is by far the person who knows the most about himself.


As the night breeze grew colder and pierced into her skin, Ela went inside her room and closed the balcony door. He got out of the room and saw Noah, Mami Ele and Papi Alex who were laughing.


"Finally down too, here sit down first. Drink this, let your body warm."


Mami Ele gave a glass of warm ginger milk to Ela. Ela drank it straight away.


"Tumben very much Ela want to come all the way to Paris. Even if I don't want to do it every time!" noah is 4 years younger than Ela.


Ella just smiled and responded. For two days he had been in Paris, only this time he had met Noah. The man was very busy taking care of his father's company and had to go back and forth Jakarta - Paris every two months.


"Basic freak! Being asked is just a smile!"


"Udah, besides, you also ask a lot of questions very much!" It was Mami Ele's turn to speak.


"You're curious, Mom," replied Noah.


"Udah ah, the important thing is now that Ela is here, so we have a lot of fun."


After the night was getting late, Mami Ele, Papi Alex had entered his room as well as Noah. There was only Ela in the living room while warming her body in front of the fireplace.


Soon Noah appears again and sits down next to Ela.


"It's weird, people who usually don't want to go far, suddenly come without explanation. Honestly, I was shocked when Mommy told me that Ela's sister was home. It feels very, very impossible. But it turned out to be true, I got back home because I wanted to meet.Unfortunately, after meeting, I felt like I did not see the Ela Sister I knew. It looks like a different person. I don't mean brother to make a story, but yes if you want a story, I must be horrified."


"Sorry." Only that sentence was taken out of Ela's mouth.


There was a breath of Noah.


"No papa, maybe I asked too soon. The point is brother do not feel alone, there is still me and the others. Don't like to be alone. Not good to know."


Ela nodded.


Suddenly Noah thrusts the chocolate setoples to Ela.


"Say people, eating chocolate will make the mood better. But I don't know if it's true or not. Sometimes I just like to eat chocolate too."


Ela took one of the chocolates in the jar and opened the wrapper and ate it.


"If later sister wants to go back to Indonesia again say yes, let her go there. I'll be here a long time, too."


Ela nodded her head, she herself did not know when she would return home. Because he doesn't have any plans for the future.


To liven up the atmosphere, the two watched a movie together while continuing to tell stories about their childhood. Where when he was a child, Noah always followed wherever Ela went just like Mami Ele who always followed wherever Richard went when he was a child. The genes of Mami Ele are so powerful in some of Noah's behavior.


"Sister," called Noah as the atmosphere began to quiet again.


"Yes?" answer Ela.


"Be like the sister of Ela I've known since childhood. Ela's brave sister and always expressed what she was feeling. As you get older, I realize, you are not the same as you used to be. I hope my old brother can return soon. I'm going to go to the room. Good night, brother."


"Em, yeah, good night to Noah."


After Noah's departure, Ela immediately recalled her childhood. It was a time when he was very cheerful and brave. Even more often he is a helper than Rendra. But as time passes and Ela is faced with unexpected events, her character begins to change.


"I hope so too Noah. I've even forgotten what I was like when I was a kid if you don't remind me."
