NOAH: The Musical Genius
Where's Papa

After searching on social media, Bella finally found a suitable house to live with Noah.

The house was located not far from where Noah attended school. The house is minimalist and has two rooms that look so beautiful because there are trees in the front yard.

"Well, baby, how do you like our new home?" Bella asked Noah who was sitting on the porch.

"Like Mah. But I'd prefer it if there's a papa here." Noah replied without looking at Bella who was standing at the door.

The deg!

Bella was shocked to hear her son's words.

'Why did Noah suddenly mention the word papa?' ask Bella in my heart.

"Well, where is Papa Noah?" Noah asked with a straight fixed view towards the street in front of the house.

Bella was unable to answer Noah's question.

"Why silence Mah? Is Noah's question too hard to answer? Noah just wants to know where Papa Noah is. That's all." Furthermore Noah who this time looked at Bella who was silent in silence.

"That . . . . . . . . . Oh yeah mama forgot to finish our stuff first." Bella tried to divert the conversation as she walked into the house.

Noah fell silent, then looked back at the street. A man is seen in the middle of piggybacking on his son while laughing on a motorcycle.

"When can I be like that?" Noah Said.

Noah suddenly remembered Erlan. Their meeting in the park made Noah very happy. He has a bond with Erlan.

'Is he my papa? I feel similar to him, Noah thought.

Noah then enters the house and finds Bella daydreaming with Noah's clothes on her lap.

"Mah! Mama why?" Ask Noah.

"You're okay, baby." Reply Bella while continuing her stalled activities.

Bella puts Noah's clothes in a small closet that is already available in the room.

"Mahs. Noah wants to ask Mama again. Where is Papa Noah? Why didn't Noah know who Noah was?"

Bella let out a long sigh, then looked at Noah who was standing before her.

"Darling, why are you suddenly asking that? Mama already said and you must have known for yourself, if your papa was long dead." Bella lied.

"Well, Noah's not a kid anymore who you can lie to and make Noah believe just like that. If you're dead, why don't you ever show Noah a picture of papa. Mama doesn't have a photo of Papa. You're a married couple where maybe mom doesn't have a single photo with papa."

Bella was shocked, she did not expect a child as small as Noah could say such a thing.

"That . . . . Noah, actually mama . . .emm . . . ."

"Or is your mom divorced?"

'Divorce? Where did Noah get to know that word?'

Bella was actually made dead by her own son.

"Well, remember when we were in the park? Noah once said to mom, that Noah met Om who was playing guitar. It had a face similar to Noah's. Maybe it's Papa Noah."

"Noah ! Enough." Shouting Bella. "Never talk about papa again. Noah doesn't have papa. And as for the Om that Noah said was similar to Noah, he couldn't have been Papa Noah. Not only because your faces look alike, then Noah can conclude that he is papa Noah. Many people in this world have a resemblance to Noah. Anyway mama doesn't want to know, from now on you can't talk about this anymore."

Just this time Noah saw his mama's emotions.

Bella has always been gentle. Never once did he scold or raise his voice at Noah.

"I'm sorry Mom Noah. Mama shouldn't have yelled."

"It's okay Ma, Noah's wrong. If possible, from now on Noah will sleep alone. This house has two rooms. So we can have our own room." Reply Noah.

"Noah sure?" Ask Bella to make sure.

Noah nodded many times.

"Aren't you afraid?" Bella asked, who had been slapped in the head by Noah.

"Great kid. Then Noah slept in this room. Mom slept in the other room."

"Yes, um." Reply Noah.

Bella then walks out of Noah's room carrying a bag containing her clothes.

'I'm sorry, dear Mama, you can't answer your questions. Because actually mama also does not know who exactly your papa.' said Bella in her heart with tears flowing profusely on her cheeks.

The Xander Group meeting room. . . .

Erlan was in a meeting with her subordinates, but she was completely unfocused on the meeting. All Erlan had in mind was Noah.

'Why am I thinking about that boy?' asked Erlan inwardly.

Erlan's employees and secretaries fell silent because there was no response from Erlan when asked by one of the employees whether he had agreed with the results of the meeting.

But no one dared to reprimand Erlan who looked dreamy. Mr. Bimo, Erlan's secretary walked over to Erlan.

"Young Master, what does Young Master think of the outcome of this meeting? Has the Young Master agreed?" Whisper Mr. Bimo.

Erlan looked at the room, then stood up. All the employees in the meeting room stood up.

"Continue all your work. You've all done a good job." Erlan said and walked out of the meeting room.

Mr. Bimo followed behind Erlan, he was confused by Erlan's current attitude.

"What is Young Master thinking?" Ask Mr. Bimo when they arrive in Erlan's room.

"I'm thinking about the kid I met in the park. Don't you think that his face looks a lot like mine?" Erlan asked back.

"Emm it . . . I'm sorry Young Master, I didn't pay much attention to the boy."

"Huh no. You are not reliable." Reply Erpan looks upset.

"Look Young Master, in this world there is indeed a possibility for one's face to be similar to others. It was very common for Young Master to happen."

Erlan seemed to think.

"But somehow I feel so close to him. I want to see him again. But how is it going?"

Mr. Bimo was confused, not knowing what to say.

"What if Young Master goes to that park again. Who knew Young Master would meet him again."

"You fool Mr. Bimo, is there any guarantee that he will go to that park again. It could be that he's a kid from another area who just came for a walk in this town."

Again Mr. Bimo was silent, not knowing what to answer.

'Noah, how can we meet again.' Erlan said in his heart.
