NOAH: The Musical Genius
Seven Years

"No... Don'tdon't... Don'tdon't.... Let go of me..." Shouted Bella who was now twenty-seven years old.

Her skin was so white, her hair was black and wavy. His red lips were unceasingly delirious by shouting for help.

"Toloong.... Don't bother me...." Shouts again.

The boy who was sleeping next to him woke up to his screams.

"Mahs.... Mamma... Wake Ma. Mama why?" Said the handsome boy.

Instantly Bella, the mother, woke up with sweat pouring down.

"Mama why Ma?" Ask the boy again.

Bella rubbed her face slowly and smiled at her six-year-old son.

"Mama is okay, baby. It's just a nightmare." Reply Bella.

"But Ma, almost every night Mama always yells like that."

Hearing her son's words, Bella smiled bitterly.

"Noah baby, Mama's okay. Really, Mama was just a nightmare. Noah better sleep. I have to go to school tomorrow. It's still two o'clock in the morning."

The boy named Noah nodded, then went back to lying on the weathered mattress that had been his bed since childhood.

The three-by-four-meter contract has been a shelter for Bella and her son Noah since seven years ago since Noah was still in Bella's stomach.

Bella stared at her son, Noah, who had been the reason for her strong stay to live her life of deprivation.

Noah was born a genius. He is so good at everything, from counting, reading, and everything else. But the most prominent is Noah's ability in music.

Since the age of three, Noah has been able to make melodious music just by tapping a spoon into a bowl. Or banging buckets and other objects that make noise.

Praaang....!!!

A vase of flowers broke because it was thrown into the wall. Three well-built men dressed in all black bowed.

"You're all stupid, very stupid. It took me hundreds more people so I could find the girl. Why don't you all befuck...." Shouted Erlan.

"Sorry Young Master. We were simply unable to find any trace of the woman the Young Master was looking for." Reply to one of the men standing in front of Erlan.

"You are all stupid..." Shouted Erlan again.

Erlan then walked over towards the window, staring at the entire city that was clearly visible from the top floor of the Xander Group building.

"How can we meet, the woman's name alone we don't know." Whisper of one of the men.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply to the other man.

Erlan who heard the man's words immediately walked over and held the collar of the man's shirt.

"Don't make me angry. I don't care, however, you all have to find that woman." Erlan said with great emphasis. "If you don't, I'll make you all suffer." Erlan.

"Bad Young Master."

"Now get out of my room. I'm sick of seeing you all." Shouted Erlan again.

As fast as lightning the three men ran out of the room.

"Young Master is really creepy when he's angry."

"Yes you're right. But now, how do we find that woman. It's been seven years, and there's no clue we can find the woman."

"I'm dizzy..."

That was the conversation of the three people who had just met Erlan.

In the room, Erlan threw away all the items on her desk.

"Young Master please calm down, we can definitely find the Miss." Said Mr. Bimo, Secretary Erlan.

"You're as bad as your men. It's been seven years and you can't find any sign of her." Erlan shouted again.

"I'm sorry Young Master, I deserve to be punished." Said the middle-aged man looking down.

"Have it, if you weren't Papa's confidant, I'd have kicked you all the way."

Mr. Bimo was originally the secretary of Mr. Adam Alexander, papa Erlan. But, since Mr. Adam fell ill, and handed the office of President to Erlan, then Mr. Bimo was assigned to be Erlan's secretary.

"Young Master, doesn't Young Master want to prepare anything for the Great Master? Today the Great Lord is his birthday." Said Mr. Bimo.

Erlan who was sitting leaning on the chair of his President immediately sat up straight.

"Oh my God, Mr. Bimo.....!" Erlan shouted again. "Why didn't you say that earlier.... Huh..."

'Wrong again... Wrong again.' thought Mr. Bimo.

"I'm sorry Young Master, I didn't have the time to remind Young Master, because since earlier, Young Master was busy scolding the bodyguards." Answer Mr. Bimo.

"How could I forget..." Erlan kneaded her temple. "Well, then prepare a big cake for Papa. The gift problem I don't know what to prepare, because Papa already has everything. I better ask him what he wants."

"Your Young Master, I'll take care of everything."

********************

"Happy Birthday Pa..."

Erlan came to see Mr. Adam sitting in a wheelchair in the garden behind his house.

"Erland..." Said Mr. Adam.

"Yes Pah, Erlan's here. Happy birthday to Pa. I'm sorry that Erlan didn't have a special gift for Papa because Erlan didn't know what to give Papa."

"Uuuhh Erlan's sister never prepared anything for Papa." Said Vino, Erlan's sister.

Alvino Alexander, Erlan's younger brother. Vino is currently studying at a top university in the Capital City.

The main house of the Alexander family was only inhabited by men, because the Great Lady had long since died.

"Bah, this is Vino bringing Papa a new encyclopedia book." Vino told Mr. Adam a thick book.

"Thank you Vino, you do know what Papa needs. Not like...." Said Mr. Adam while glancing at Erlan.

"Hahaha Erlan doesn't know anything." Vino.

Ctaakk..!!

Erlan touched his sister's forehead.

"Aduuhh sakiit... Sis." Pekut Vino's.

"Sheam....!" Jerky Erlan.

Vino was silent, stroking his forehead.

"Well, tell Erlan, Papa what gift would Erlan have?"

"Papa doesn't want anything. Papa just wants you to marry Erlan. You are thirty years old now. Until when do you sing? Papa's age also does not seem to be long, so you better get married soon so that Papa can see you sitting in the guarantee. Especially if Papa can see you have children." Said Mr. Adam at length.

"Don't talk so Pa. Papa's fine, Papa's gonna get well." Erlan.

"Udah deh Kak, mending follow Papa's will. Does Brother Erlan want me first."

Erlan again clasped Vino's forehead.

"Yes elaah Kak, who had not lost his pain, now it has been picked again."

"Not much talk." Erlan.

Erlan then held his Papa's hand.

"Bah, Erlan's looking for Papa's son-in-law. Just wait, as soon as Erlan will find him."

"You've been looking for Erlan for seven years. How much longer does it take? Are you going to look for him till the end to pick up Papa? We don't even know if she's married or not." Said Mr. Adam.

"Bah, let Erlan look for him once more."

"Alright, Papa will give you one month. If you can't find her, then you should marry Papa's chosen woman. Pray that Papa will live long."

"Thank you Pa. Erlan will do her best for Papa's recovery." Erlan.

'I will definitely find you Beautiful Miss.' Erlan murmured.
