NOAH: The Musical Genius
Gado-gado

Two days later, Noah begins to disappear at lunchtime for fear of being taken in by Sherly. From day one pretending to work as Sherly's secretary, Noah is always invited to eat together by Sherly because of his satisfactory work.

On Sunday morning, Noah and Jimmy were jogging in the park in the city center where they live. An hour passed, they finally sat under a shady tree. Enjoy the wind blowing. While eating bread as a stomach booster that was purchased Jimmy in the minimarket which is close to the City Park.

Noah drinks the mineral water Jimmy bought. Occasionally Noah wiped his sweaty face with a tissue.

"Aren't you interested in Clara? From the first day we started working in the office, he was always attentive to you. Every day he prepares lunch for you. And you gave it to OB. She's a beautiful, kind and smart cook." Jimmy.

"Where do you know she's good at cooking? Did you eat the food he always gave you? Didn't I ask you to give it to OB." Reply Noah relaxed.

"You're really heartless. At least appreciate that little effort of the woman. He's already...."

"If you like it, please go after him." Noah interrupted Jimmy.

"That's it." Jimmy said as he went back to chewing bread.

For a long time the two sat around, sometimes Jimmy posed in front of the camera and then uploaded it to social media.

(Jogging.) Jimmy wrote on his social media account.

"Do you have to upload all your activities?" Asked Noah who was sitting leaning back.

"That's how it is today. You should always post your every activity to be known to others." Reply Jimmy.

"You mean show off?" Noah Said.

Jimmy did not answer, he was busy replying to comments with people commenting on the photos he posted. People were more commenting on Noah's good looks that were seen in photos uploaded by Jimmy.

"Look, people are not focusing on me, but instead focusing on your face that was accidentally photographed." Jimmy said showing his phone screen featuring a selfie of Jimmy and Noah looking behind him from the side.

There were so many comments about Noah's good looks.

'Salfok with the back.'

'The back is more handsome.'

'You want the phone number behind.'

And there are many other comments. Jimmy nagging constantly pissed Noah off.

"Who allowed you to upload a picture of me?" Said Noah with an angry look on his face.

"I'm sorry Boss, I didn't mean it." Reply Jimmy.

So far, Noah does not like to post his photo on social media. He only posted photos of himself with his parents. It was with an emoticon that covered his face. Noah seemed to want to be an unknown person in his country. Whereas in foreign countries, the name Noah is famous for his success in the field of music.

"I'm hungry." Noah Said.

Suddenly...

"Hey.... Jogging too?" Said Sherly who was suddenly behind them.

Noah is speechless seeing Sherly's different appearance. Sherly was wearing shorts and sleeveless clothes. The clothes he was wearing made his curves clearly visible. Sherly's skin is slightly flushed due to exposure to the morning sun that is starting to heat up.

Sherly appears without glasses and without makeup on her face.

'Very beautiful.' Noah said in his heart.

Jimmy who was sitting next to Noah also looked gawking. She does not realize that Sherly is a pretty girl and has a sexy body.

"Hey, why silence?" Sherly said again.

"I'm hungry." Said Noah haphazardly speaking.

"Well, then let me buy it." Sherly.

Noah wakes up when Sherly says she wants to buy him.

"Ah no-no. I'll have breakfast at home." Noah refused.

'I don't want to, I could be asked to eat chicken feet later.' Noah thought.

"Just calm. This time it's not chicken. But hodgepodge." Sherly. "You guys know shit, right? Come quickly come with me. Otherwise, I'll fire you." Threaten Sherly while walking first.

Noah and Jimmy stand together and walk slowly behind Sherly.

"Quick tell me. What is a hodgepodge?" Brisque Noah.

"Just calm. It's some kind of vegetable salad with peanut sauce." Answer Jimmy.

"Thank God." Noah rubbed his chest.

Jimmy laughed in his heart, knowing full well that Noah was not the type to ever eat street food stalls, including traditional food. Although in his childhood Noah lived a short life with his mother, Bella, but he never ate food that was not cooked by Bella.

Bella always prepares her chef-style food at her home before she is evicted from the house. So, from childhood, Noah was used to eating healthy foods such as salads or cakes made by his own mother.

At exactly nine in the morning, they stopped at a hodgepodge stall on the side of the road.

"This is the place?" ask Noah.

"Yes. This is my gado-gado shop." Answer Sherly. "Let's go in."

Sherly and Jimmy walk into the stall, while Noah is still standing outside.

"Woy, he said hungry, come here." cried Sherly.

Noah seemed hesitant to enter the stall. Then he sat down and looked at the poster with the available menu. In addition to gado-gado, the stall also presents other menus in the form of rujak.

"Where is the most sought after?" tanya Noah pointed at a poster that read the type of rujak and hodgepodge that exist.

"I." replied Sherly, then broke down.

"Don't go fishing, I'll actually buy it later." Noah Said.

This time it was Jimmy.

Sherly glanced at Jimmy with an annoyed look. "I fired you." Sherly said, which made Jimmy instantly speechless. "Rujak cingur want to?" tawang Sherly on Noah.

"What's that?" Ask Noah again.

Jimmy can be seen holding back a laugh, he can not imagine how Noah's expression if he knows what is a ritual.

"You really don't know what a rickshaw is?" Ask Sherly.

Noah shook his head.

"Geez, you're a native of this country. I'm just a guy from a neighboring country knows all the good food here."

Noah and Jimmy looked at each other. Both of them looked confused when Sherly said he was not a native of the country where he currently lives.

"I'm sure you're wondering, where did I come from? And how can I speak this country fluently." Sherly. "But you don't need to know. Oh yes, that cingur rujak is a kind of food with hodgepodge. It's just that the chirp is made from the cow's snout." Sherly.

With Noah's eyes glaring, he was shocked when Sherly told him everything.

"Mo-moncong cow?" Ask Noah to make sure.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Sherly. "Hows it? Want a cingur or a hodgepodge?" Ask Sherly again.

"No, I don't eat." Noah Said.

"Cannot. You never appreciate your boss' sincerity." Sherly looked disappointed.

"Bu-not so...." Reply Noah.

"Nake it." Jimmy tried to persuade Noah in a whisper.

"Be aware that you're lying." Brisque Noah.

Jimmy lifted two of his fingers to swear.

"What's wrong?" Ask Sherly.

"There's nothing. I'll just order a hodgepodge." Noah Said.

Finally, the three chose the hodgepodge. Not long after, their orders came.

"Please enjoy, do not forget to pray," said Sherly as sweet as possible, while handing a portion of hodgepodge to Noah.

At first Noah seemed hesitant to eat the hodgepodge in front of him. Sherly looked at him in wonder.

"Let's eat it" said Sherly.

"I-I've never eaten this." replied Noah.

"What!" sherly was shocked. "Seriously?" ask Sherly again.

"Yes, this is the first time." replied Noah.

"If you're a gentleman, it's only natural that you never. But hodgepodge?" Sherly looks in disbelief.

Noah then slowly began to eat the hodgepodge.

"Wow!" Suddenly Noah screams and makes Sherly jump in shock, even with Jimmy.

"Amazing out! Just incredible! Is this his name?" noah asked in a shouting tone.

"Gado-gado." replied Sherly who suddenly stammered and confused.

While Jimmy seemed to hold back his laughter, while continuing to enjoy his hodgepodge.

"Wowws. The food is unique! How's it feel, huh?" Noah began to bite the food in a style that Sherly Lebay said, Noah seemed to close his eyes.

"It feels .. like being Bruno Mars. Just incredible! Please order another five portions, I want to meet my business opponents. We'll meet later at noon" Noah continued.

"Huh? A-pa?" Sherly suddenly dazed at Noah's behavior. Especially when they are the center of attention.

Jimmy also seemed to wipe his face to see the spontaneous behavior that Noah did.

Noah seemed to really like the hodgepodge he was eating. Until he ordered the second portion.

Sherly and Jimmy looked confused.

'Like it, but why is he acting so stupid?' jimmy said in his heart.

"Jimmy, really, did he first eat hodgepodge?" ask Sherly.

Jimmy just nodded, and chose silence.

Noah then reached into his famous expensive phone with the fruit logo.

"Hay, Mom, Dad, you should try this food. This is gado-gado, I eat this for the first time, so delicious." (Hi, Mama, Papa, you guys should try this food. It's a hodgepodge, I ate it for the first time, it's delicious.) Noah said, pointing his face at his phone screen.

Sherly looks increasingly confused by Noah's behavior. Jimmy who realizes Noah's behavior will increasingly reveal his identity before Sherly immediately pulled Noah's hand to wake up.

"Emmm thanks for the treat, Ms. Sherly. We have to wait first. Noah forgot to take his medicine." Jimmy then pulled Noah out of the hodgepodge.

The confused Sherly was speechless, he just waved his hand as Jimmy walked out.

"Squeaky..." Her speech.
