Marrying My Beloved's Killer
Chapter 34. Meet Izzan Qadr

“Crazy! That guy is really crazy!” Along the way after leaving Alfio's cafe, Noah never stopped grumbling.

It doesn't feel good if Noah returns to the hospital with the current condition. Obviously from the look on his face, if the man is holding back his emotions.

Of course Noah had to hold back his emotions, it was enough twice Noah acted stupidly. Using violence while facing Alfio. For Noah, Alfio was like a crazy man who openly admitted that he loved the wife of another man.

“There are people like him too! Confessing love to someone else's wife,” oceh Noah.

“Did the madman not realize who I was? Did he forget that I was the husband of the woman he said he wanted to take?!” Noah's irritation he vented by hitting the steering wheel that was in his grasp.

Because of his actions, the man got a snub from another driver. That's because suddenly there was a screeching sound from Noah's car horn that made other drivers surprised.

Noah had to pull over his car when he saw a skinny little boy sitting on the sidewalk. Luckily the road he passed was quite quiet because it did not include the highway.

Boy with a disheveled appearance. His hair was dull and dry, from his face was clearly a look of fatigue that the boy felt. The clothes he wore were very shabby and looked torn in some places. Noah's heart was growing when he saw the footwear worn by the child, different from those on his left foot and on his right foot.

Luckily I chose to go through this path, her heart.

Before approaching the boy Noah had time to take his shirt and hood jacket which he always carried in the car.

Realizing that a man was approaching, the boy smiled. “Cigarette, bang?” bargained for.

Noah shook his head. He saw the boy pull the cloth that covered the basket on his lap. Noah followed the boy's line of sight. “Abang don't smoke,” says Noah.

The little boy nodded and was about to close his selling basket again with a cloth. Although the smile of the child is not really gone, but obviously if he was a little disappointed.

“But Brother is thirsty.” Noah's words stopped the boy's tiny hand movements.

“I also sell many drinks, bang,”.

“Which one do you want? Water white various brands, there are. All kinds of tea drinks, from those from shoots to teas with fruit flavors are also available.” The boy was so eager to peddle his merchandise.

Noah smiled, the child's behavior managed to comfort his upset heart. It was fortunate that he had chosen to turn this way, Noah thought.

Looking at Noah who was just smiling, the child was unyielding. “Or, Brother want a drink that can tickle in the throat?” hail it once again. His eyebrows go up and down waiting for an answer from Noah.

“Unfortunately such a drink exists?” asked Noah with a frowning forehead.

“There's dong, Bang..”. “Nih...” In both of her tiny hands, there were already two bottles of fizzy drinks with different flavors.

“Oh... so what do you mean by that tickling drink in the throat is soda?” ask Noah to make sure. Immediately answered a nod by the boy.

Noah laughs, “Why?” asked Noah curiously.

“I've tried it, Bang. And when I drink it, it feels like my throat is being stabbed. But instead of pain, I even feel my throat like it is being tickled.” Long-term, the boy recounted his experience when he first tasted soda on Noah.

Noah chuckled. “But, don't repeat again, yes.” Noah said.

“Soda is not good for consumption by children your age,” he added.

“What is a teacher's brother?” tanyanya while looking at Noah with a look.

Noah shook his head. “Not. Why do you think you're a teacher?” tanyanya.

“Because it is usually the teacher who tells you, which things are good and which things are bad. Which is right and also which is wrong,” the answer is confident.

So innocent this kid, so Noah thought. “You are very clever. Your parents must be very proud to have such a smart child like you,”.

The boy's cheerful face turned sad. “I have no parents,” he replied.

“Sorry, Brother didn't mean to make you sad,” regrets Noah.

“Look, as an apology Brother for making you sad and missing your parents, what if you buy all your merchandise?” haggard Noah.

The boy laughed. “Gosh, Bang... Don't baper that, I'm not sad.”

“I don't grieve because I miss you, Bang. I never even knew what it was like to have parents,”.

Noah's heart ached when he heard the innocent words of the poor boy before him. He is actually the same as the boy. He must be patient and willing because the opportunity to become a parent must be delayed.

“Not a problem, still Brother will buy all your merchandise. Except cigarettes and soda,” said Noah.

“Really?” the boy looked incredulous.

“Of course, just think of it as our introductory greetings. Whatis yourname? How old are you?” ask Noah.

“Good name,” Noah said as he returned the hand of the boy.

“Really?” The boy laughed.

“What's funny?” ask Noah.

“Actually, the children living under the bridge called me Maman.” His hand pointed towards the large bridge at the end of the road not far from where the two of them were sitting.

“Izzan Qadr's name I got from a flyer that was shared at the red light,” he explained.

“Sounds good when I mention. Be from then on I want to change my name from Maman to Izzan Qadr,”.

“Abang was the first person I told you my new name since I changed it 3 months ago.” Maman or Izzan.

Noah even had a long conversation with Izzan, like that he wanted to be called. Izzan tells how the lives of the children under the bridge that arouses the small heart of Noah.

The sound of the adhan from Noah's phone as a reminder of the time of prayer, also helped awaken Noah if he had left the Sea too long.

Akh, I've missed Sea, Noah's inner.

Noah gives Izzan a few hundred thousand bills after the boy helps Noah carry all the bottles of drinks he bought into the car. At first Izzan refused, because according to him the money given Noah was very much.

“This is very much, Bang,” reject it.

“Take it, Brother sincerely gives it to you.”

“But I can't take this money for granted, what if you also bring cigarettes and soda?” bargained for.

Noah shook his head. “Thank you, but really you can't take him.”

“After coming from here, you have to take care of your sick wife in the hospital. You know, cigarettes and soft drinks are not allowed there,” said Noah.

Izzan was silent, the boy did not know what to react to. Noah's words about cigarettes, soft drinks, and hospitals did not he understand.

Then Izzan suddenly jumped when he remembered that he had taken a box of snacks from Mbok Romlah stalls for him to rent in schools. “Shortly, Bang. Wait here first, yes..”

Izzan was seen running to the sidewalk where they were sitting earlier and returning with a box in his hand. “This, Bang...take it!”

“If you want to accept this, I will also receive all the money given by you. How?” The boy tries to make a deal and it makes Noah even more amazed with him.

Noah nodded, “Alright, thank you. See you soon, Izzan.” Before Noah drove his car to the hospital, he opened the lid of the box Izzan gave him.

There are a lot of school children there. Like sausages fried with eggs, there are also sausages wrapped in noodles, and many others.

“An incredible time that kid,” compliments. “If I'm in his position, I don't know if I can hold on or not.”

...………….....

Before heading to his wife's treatment room, Noah took the time to stop by the IGD and distribute drinks and snacks that he brought. Not to forget he left a little for him to give to Sea.

Impatiently, Noah wanted to tell his encounter with a little boy named Izzan Qadr to his wife.

His footsteps deliberately spread out hoping to arrive sooner in Sea's room. While passing the nurses' desk, Noah actually felt the gaze of several different nurses when he saw it.

Noah doesn't care, all he cares about is wanting to see Sea. In the depths of his heart, the man regretted the events of this morning. Where he had argued with his wife before he went to see Alfio.

Chequek.

The door of the Sea treatment room was opened by Noah. The man put his foot in. Counting only a few steps, Noah suddenly stopped.

His body peeked at the sight of no Sea figure lying in the hospital bed as it had been just before he left this morning. The infusion pole is also no longer visible there. All the stuff on the nightstand is also not there.

Apparently a nurse who had seen Noah's arrival also followed the doctor. He saw the doctor who he often praised his good looks, standing like a statue.

“Sorry doctor, Mrs Sea has gone home two hours ago.”

Brakes.

Noah's two hands shook and finally dropped Izzan's gift box. All the snacks he brought were now scattered on the floor.

“You... really go home,” murmured Noah.
