MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

#SECRET LOVERART PART 4

            “Author!!”

Week pass. And for those four days, Arata and I kept a little distance. The first reason is to keep the film going. According to Kak Rama, the film Love Like Ectasy will lose the best time for his promotion if Arata paired with Bora is involved in a scandal with the screenwriter. The second reason was for the sake of keeping my name and Arata's own name. According to Kak Rama, since I am the author who has been hiding his identity and has just presented himself in public, being exposed to a scandal will make my name worse. And for Arata himself, his hard-earned popularity is something worthwhile.

During this week too, Arata finally relented and let me bring my own car to the set. Arata also ended up reducing the intensity of it disturbing my composure on set and letting me sit quietly while he was resting.

Seeing Arata so obedient, I put a little curiosity to Kak Rama. I wonder how Kak Rama persuades Arata, the annoying bitch who always seems to be alone. I was also curious what the sentence said by Kak Rama to Arata, until the bitch turned into a shrewd and not much act.

Well. . A week it was a nice week because I really felt calm without Arata. And another one that makes me feel a little happy. As soon as Arata kept her distance from me, Bora's sharp gaze that always led to me started to diminish a bit. That way I'm sure. . . Bora only cares about Arata. She stared intently at me because of Arata and once Arata got away from me, Bora started ignoring me.

            “The Bora is a fan of Arata.  He blatantly said that he is a fan of Arata and wants to be able to play movies together with Arata. He also said his dream type of man is Arata.”

            That's the line I heard from Warda when I asked her what she thought of Bora. Feeling a little curious, I once asked this matter to Warda.

            “Then what about Arata fans? Do they support Arata with Bora?”

            “Pro and cons. Some Arata fans think Bora is a bitch. They think Bora is interested in Arata because of his popularity. Then a small percentage of Arata fans judge Bora is a woman who matches Arata. They considered Arata to be very compatible with Bora. The rest of them just silently watch and are more supportive of Arata's own decision.”

            That quiet week I thought it would last until I finished my assignment as a screenwriter until the lead author was able to come here. But. . That quiet week I don't think will last long because once I arrive on set, Arata immediately intercepts me with a loud shout.

            “Why are you here, Arata?”

            “There's something I want to say to Author.”

            “What do you want to say to wait for me here?? You've forgotten we have to keep our distance.”

            “I know it, Author. But this is something important, if this is not done after this I will not be able to shoot because I can not focus.”

            I looked towards Arata and saw his eyes which this time were really serious and was not trying to tease let alone play tricks on me. Seeing the seriousness in Arata's eyes, I finally relented and intended to listen to his words.

            “Alright, what is it? Say now.”

            “Sorry Author, I can't say it clearly. .” Arata made a gesture to me to get close to him because he wanted to whisper something to me.

            I obeyed Arata's wishes and lent my ears to get close to him.

            “Can Author not see me filming today? I can't focus filming if Author is there looking at me.”

            My forehead shriveled because I didn't understand. It's not the first time Arata has been filming and it's not the first time I've seen him shoot. I remember well, Arata remained calm and was even very fluent in his role when I saw the shoot for the first time. The question came to my mind, why did she suddenly not want me to see the filming process today?

            I pulled my face away from Arata and looked at Arata's face that was looking seriously at me. Once again. . I found out that Arata was serious about his words. Huft. I let out a long sigh before I answered Arata's request.

            Arata beckoned me like before and asked me to lend me his ear again. “Close, Author.”

            I did what Arata asked and brought my ears closer to receive a whisper from Arata. “You are. . . why bother once?”

            “Haha.” I heard Arata's little laugh before he finally whispered his reason for asking me not to see the shoot this time.  “I can't focus on doing a kiss scene if Author is there.”

            “Did you expel all the female crew while doing the kissing scene?” reply to me innocently.

            “No.”

            “Then why am I the only one who can't be on set when you're doing a kiss scene?” I'm still not understanding.

 I heard some actors and actresses have certain requests to do some important scenes like kiss scenes and bed scenes. Some actors and actresses believe they will not be able to focus and concentrate if the request is not granted. Actor Rangga for example. The troubled actor who always caused the sensation needed to drink red wine before doing the kissing scene, bed scene and other adult scenes in the process of filming. Then there is the Actress Raya who is of Japanese-Indonesian descent who needs to eat chocolate before doing a kiss scene in the process of filming.

In the past. . . I thought all the actors and actresses enjoyed the kiss scene while they were filming. But after hearing that fact, I knew that the actors and actresses who seemed to enjoy the kiss scene were actually feeling a different way from what the audience was thinking.

            And now. . apparently Arata also has such circumstances. Things I didn't expect before.

            “Because you are my idol, Auhtor.” Arata whispered to me again.

            This time. . I pulled my face again away from Arata and looked at him with a completely confused look. “You're not pranking me, are you, Arata??”

            “I'm serious, Author. I really couldn't focus on doing the kiss scene after if Author was there and looking at me. Look at this. .” Arata showed both of his hands that slightly shook to me.

            Seeing that vibration, I guess. . . Arata wasn't joking with me and was really serious about asking me not to watch her kiss scene shoot with Bora.

            “You're serious?”

            “Segutarius, Author! I've never been serious about you, Author!”            

            “Alright according to your request, I won't see it and wait at the cafe near here. I'll say it's too late for the director. But. .. If you're done doing that scene, let me know. Understood?”

            “Thank you, Author.”

            Finally. .. I stepped my foot in the opposite direction from the set and waited for Arata to finish his kiss scene with Bora.
