The Temptation of the Actor

The Temptation of the Actor
A Gift from Zayyan


Zayyan has come home from his job selling meatballs. The man then put his wagon on the rented porch. Thankfully, the sale sold out today. Zayyan laid his body on the thin bed, he was very tired. Today the weather is very hot. The sun was burning Zayyan's body. No wonder, his white skin slowly turned brownish.


Zayyan took out the money that was in the cart drawer. He counted it carefully. In my heart, Zayyan gave no thanks. Although in the middle of a pandemic, Zayyan meatballs are still selling. The profit is good, he can meet his needs and save a little. Zayyan put his savings in a box made of cans. He was stunned when he saw a blue box containing a luxurious ring. Zayyan's thoughts were clouded as he was unable to give the ring to Keysha with his own hands. Zayyan tells Rena to give it to Keysha. Rena initially refused, but because Zayyan urged, finally the mother wanted to give the ring to Keysha.


Rena did not come during Keysha's wedding. However, a few days later Rena visited Keysha while Andra was working at the Hospital. Rena gave Zayyan the ring. Keysha was initially stunned staring at the expensive ring. But then Keysha told Rena to give it back to Zayyan. The reason was first Keysha was convinced Zayyah needed the ring more. Second was because she wanted to keep Andra's feelings as her husband. It was not nice if Keysha received a diamond ring from a man who was her ex-husband.


"Thank you, Key. You have made my life easier!" Zayyan muttered to himself.


Zayyan wiped the corner of his eyes that had suddenly gotten wet. The pain was suddenly present when Keysha was married to Andra. In the deepest corner of his heart, he could not deny if Zayyan still harbored a taste in his ex-wife.


He saw the ring stored in the blue box. Zayyan had the intention to sell the ring alone. The plan is Zayyan will repair his favorite car that has been on strike because of engine damage and left alone. After that, Zayyan will think about what efforts he will take in the future.


After putting his income today into a tin box and after keeping the ring in a safe place, Zayyan laid down his body. The time has already shown at five in the afternoon. Zayyan opened his phone and clicked on an online shopping app. Suddenly he missed the Rengganis. Zayyan has never met Nadia again this week. Zayyan did not dare to go to the woman who was the victim of the KDRT. Zayyan was afraid that Nadia's neighbors would think to her. Zayyan was afraid that his actions would complicate Nadia's life. Zayyan opens an online shopping application that has the highest rating in Indonesia. His eyes were staring at the beautiful baby clothes.


"Rengganis must be very pretty wearing this," Zayyan smiled, he clicked on the shirt and read the product description.


Finally Zayyan checked out the pink baby clothes with white lace accents. Zayyan then used instant delivery services because the seller's address is still in the city of Bandung, so that the package to this day as well. Zayyan just wants to share his sustenance with Rengganis. Especially when he heard his father left never to return. He was so sorry for that poor baby.


After Zayyan checked out, he waited for the seller to pack and make a booking code for his order receipt number. It felt like Zayyan was already looking forward to meeting with the Rengganis. Zayyan looked at his phone, he saw a photo of Rengganis in the gallery. While sleeping soundly in a taxi, Zayyan photographed Rengganis. Not to forget Zayyan asked permission first to his mother Rengganis, Nadia.


Suddenly, Zayyan's heart was in pain. Will she ever have children in her lifetime? Can't Zayyan have a baby as cute as Rengganis? All the questions about the descent always made Zayyan sad and worried. Too long looking at the phone, Zayyan's eyes felt heavy. Zayyan had entered the dreamland.


"Guil!" Shouted the voice of the man who shouted out loudly.


Zayyan blinked his eyes. He saw the wall clock. Time has shown at six in the afternoon. Zayyan rubbed his face rough, then sat down from his sleeping position.


"Geez, I fell asleep!" Zayyan was still talking to himself.


"Package!!" Shouted another man.


Zayyan immediately got up, and opened the door. At the instant courier who was standing in front of him while carrying a package. Ah, apparently the Rengganis package has arrived.


"On behalf of Mr Zayyan?" Ask the courier.


"yes. I'm alone, Sir!" Zayyan replied politely.


The courier nodded. He then handed the package he was holding into Zayyan's hands. Then the courier took a picture of Zayyan and his package.


"Together," The courier nodded, saying goodbye to Zayyan.


Zayyan entered into his contract. His hand cleverly opened the package of the package. Zayyan smiled with satisfaction. The order is according to the picture displayed by the seller. Zayyan then took a plastic that had a zipper and put it in there.


After the Maghrib prayer, Zayyan ordered an ojek online. Tonight he will also deliver the baby clothes to Rengganis.


"Assalamualaikum," Zayyan said his greetings when he was in front of Nadia's house.


"Waalaikum salam. Uh, there's A Zayyan!" Nadia smiled wryly. He glanced around it. Luckily the conditions were very quiet, because after Maghrib, it just happened to rain had subsided.


"Please sit!" Nadia invited Zayyan to sit on the terrace seat. The one-child woman didn't tell Zayyan to sit inside. Nadia is afraid to become a neighbor's hibahan material, considering that only she is in the house other than Rengganis.


"Thank you," Zayyan immediately sat on the chair made of rattan.


"I'm sorry, A! What's the need for A Zayyan to come here?" Nadya asked. In his heart was an emergency. Nadia was worried that Zayyan would charge the former Rengganis treatment fee the other day.


Zayyan took out the parcel he was carrying and stretched it towards Nadya. "This is for the Rengganis. I saw it on the shopping app. Looks like a pretty Rengganis is wearing that dress!" Zayyan answered honestly


Nadya was surprised. She felt overwhelmed by someone who cared for her son considering Raka, her ex-husband never once cared for Rengganis who was his biological child. Even when Nadya struggled to give birth, Raka was not there beside her. He was busy dating other women.


"Open up!" Zayyan's orders


Nadya opened the parcel, she was amazed by the beautiful baby dress. It is suitable for Rengganis who have white skin. This is the first new dress of the Rengganis. During this time Rengganis did wear clothes former children neighbors because Nadia could not afford clothes for her eldest daughter.


"Thank you, A? It just so happens that Rengganis hasn't had this good outfit yet!" Lirih Nadya.


"Either. Then I say yes, Nad? Oh yeah, don't leave the Rengganis alone for too long! Not good, let alone this maghrib time," Zayyan's message was immediately replied by a nod by Nadia.


"Yes, A. Thank you huh? Sorry for not telling A Zayyan to come inside!" Nadya felt bad.


"It's okay. I'm saying yes?" Tympan Zayyan.


Zayyan then left after saying goodbye. Nadia looked at Zayyan's back sadly. She felt lucky that someone else loved Rengganis, even though there was no blood tie between Zayyan and her poor baby.


"Ah, if Raka were to love Rengganis. Nevermind! I don't need to think about that useless man," Nadya's mind ached.
