MS Project 2013 - actual work

I am trying to figure out how to deal with the Actual Work when it is more than the Work. My Work estimate is 4 hrs and my actual work is 6 hrs. When I input 6 hrs, it automatically updated the Work column. My task mode is in Manually Scheduled. I'd like to keep track of my Work estimate and my extra hrs from the Actual Work. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Was it because of:

1. Extra resources.
2. Extra duration.
3. Stop/start working?

I guess it is extra work, not extra resources, duration, or stop/start working.

The below is what I have for columns:
Star date: 12/23
End date: 12/23
duration: 1d?
Work: 4hrs
Actual Work: 6hrs

It just took me 2 extra hrs to complete the task. Now when I input actual work, it updated work also. How do I show the extra time and keep the same Work time.
