NOAH: The Musical Genius
About Sherly

Bella and her family carry Clarissa's body to Alexander's residence. Noah called Jimmy to tell him about it so that Clara could go straight to their house when she arrived in town.

1 Hour later Clara arrived at Alexander's residence and immediately ran into the house. Clara was immediately hysterical when she saw that her mother was already stretched and covered in a white cloth. Clara was crying so it happened. He did not expect to see his mother in a lifeless condition anymore.

"Ma wake up Ma... Come on get up don't leave me alone. I have no one but Mama. Wake up Ma please..." Isaac Clara.

Jimmy held onto Clara's shoulder which hugged the Mama's body. Jimmy also felt the sadness experienced by Clara, considering she had also lost the figure of a mother since she was a child.

Jimmy didn't know what to say. He was afraid of mispronouncing and chose silence while continuing to stroke Clara's back. While Sherly who had been silent since then suddenly sniffled. Even his sobbing was louder than Clara's sobbing. It made people look at him in wonder.

Erlan looked towards Noah by raising her eyebrows. Noah replied by raising his shoulders. Erlan again made a gesture in her eyes as if asking Noah to take Sherly out of the living room where Sherly's body was laid.

Noah twists his eyeballs lazily then takes Sherly out into the backyard.

"What's wrong with you? Since I was in the hospital, you've been fine. Why are you crying for Aunt Clarissa?" Noah asked after having Sherly sit on the long bench available in the backyard.

"I remember both my parents." Reply Sherly. "Today exactly ten years they died. "And I haven't been to their graves in five years. That's why I'm crying. I remember the day my parents died." Sherly continued while rubbing her eyes that continued to water.

Noah suddenly cradles Sherly's body into his arms. Sherly is shocked by the treatment Noah gives her.

"Cry if it reduces your pain. I'm right here with you." Noah Said.

Hearing Noah's words made Sherly cry even more. He returned sobbing. Remembering her Papa's embrace that always calms her down.

Sherly was actually born to an affluent family in a neighboring country. Sherly was used to living a life of all, until one day the business that lived by the Papa went bankrupt because of deceived business partners who took away a large amount of funds that Papa used for investment.

From that moment on, Sherly's life changed. All his assets and his house were confiscated by the Bank. Sherly's life deteriorates further when both her parents die from an accident that befell the three while riding a bus that takes them out of their hometown.

Sherly's parents were seriously injured, leading them to die at the scene. While Sherly was unconscious for two days, and when she woke up she found that her parents had left her alone.

That made Sherly's world collapse, she was so desperate at first. However, the following year he opted out of his country. Leave all the sorrow and bitter memories. With the rest of the savings he collected, he was finally able to leave for the neighboring Country and start his life.

All those memories suddenly returned to Sherly's memory to make her cry. Noah gently stroked the poor woman's shoulder. Sometimes Noah also stroked Sherly's head until her cries began to subside.

Meanwhile in the living room, not much different from the garden behind the residence Alexander. Clara continued to cry, even now she was like wailing. He could not accept the passing of the Mother who left him so soon.

Bella approaches Clara, which makes Jimmy slowly retreat.

"Dear, calm yourself..." Bella stroked Clara's head.

Hearing Bella's soft voice, Clara turned and looked at Bella. Bella's eyes that shade make Clara suddenly hugged Bella tightly.

"Mama died. I don't have anyone anymore." Isaac Clara. "I'm alone." Further.

"Who said you were alone. You have an aunt and this whole family. Your mom must have told you who Auntie is, right?" Said Bella with her eyes that looked puffy.

Clara let go of her embrace and looked at Bella then nodded.

"Then don't tell me you're alone. You have an aunt and this whole family. Now calm down. It's not good to keep crying over people who have died. Sad may be, but don't drag on. Because we will all experience something called death. We do not know when God will call us. Strengthen your heart, dear." Bella.

Clara became so calm after hearing Bella's words.

That afternoon, Clarissa's body was buried. Not many people came, because Bella asked not to tell anyone else. Only the closest family members were present. Because after all, Clarissa already has no family other than Bella who in fact only as an older sister.

When the funeral was held, there were no more cries from Clara. He is stronger and stronger. He can only pray, may God forgive all the mistakes his mother made while he lived first.

*********

One week passed, Noah and Sherly's wedding plan was still carried out according to the plan, which is within one week. Clara and Jimmy don't return to the town where they work, as they are busy preparing for Noah and Sherly's wedding.

Today everyone is gathering in the family room to discuss the issue of marriage that will be carried out in one week.

Sherly who saw everyone happy felt even more guilty. His marriage to Noah was planned only for a pretense of not being deported. Everyone laughs when Erlan tells about the funny moment that happened during her marriage with Bella. However, Sherly always had a gloomy face. Noah, realizing that, wants to talk to Sherly. But, hindered because Jimmy stood up and was about to announce something in front of everyone.

"What's up, Jimmy? Looks like you want to say something important." Erlan.

"Look at Om. In front of everyone in this room, I want to say that Clara and I are engaged." Jimmy's repulsive speech shocked everyone, especially Noah. "Clara has accepted my proposal. As the man in charge of Clara, I want to ask Aunt Bella's permission to marry Clara." Jimmy continues.

"Isn't Clara still too young to get married? He's only 20 years old now. Auntie thinks Clara wants to continue her education first." Bella's words disappointed Jimmy. "But, even so. Auntie hand it all over Clara. If he is ready to get married, then what can Aunt. The man who wants to marry her is you. Auntie knows who you are. And I don't think you'd dare hurt Clara." Bella.

Jimmy looked excited. He walked up to Bella and knelt down in front of her.

"I promise Auntie. I'll never hurt Clara." Jimmy.

"Then, how about you get married next week along with Noah and Sherly." This time it was Lord Adam who gave us the idea.

Everyone agreed, including Bella. Clara made no comment. He goes along with what Jimmy and the Alexander family had planned.

"Now, you're horrified what Aunt is going to say. Especially for Noah and Sherly. You're all right with what Mama's saying." Bella's words are serious.

Noah and Sherly look at the smiling Bella.

"Married is indeed beautiful at first and finally can also remain beautiful. But in the process of maintaining household harmony, many things can happen.

Being together at all times is what every couple wants. However, we all need to know that bringing together the differences of two individuals who have just lived together after marriage should be accompanied by a sincere commitment. This is because there will be many differences that must be compromised by married couples, including the emergence of problems, especially during early marriage.

Various problems such as financial problems, character differences, husband and wife relationships, attention, and so forth." Bella said that made the entire room speechless.

'Well, my wife wants to start lecturing the children.' Erlan said in her heart.

"The goal of marriage is not to live happily, but to make life better. It is undeniable that everyone in this world wants to live happily. However, in marriage there will not always be found happiness because there must be various tests.

With various exams, through marriage, you will be trained to be a better person, especially when you get through things that are difficult with your partner.

Getting married means you choose to commit. Do not marry just because of love, because the feeling can disappear over time. However, with a commitment that is always upheld then the marriage relationship will last until the end of life." Bella.

"One more thing." Connect Erlan. "Marriage is not just bringing two individuals together. Except for two families. So, for you Jimmy. Tell your family soon, you're planning this wedding."

"Of course Om. I talked to Papa. And Papa has agreed, it's just that Papa hasn't had time to meet his future son-in-law." Reply Jimmy.

"Family, by the way. What about Sherly's family? Can no one come?" Ask the Great Lord Adam.

Sherly is silent, she doesn't know how to explain everything to Noah's family. He and Noah had previously said that he was from the city where Noah worked and had no parents. Noah and Sherly never told me that Sherly was from another country.

"Mmmm that...." Sherly was nervous.

"Sherly has no family. If anything, they don't deserve to be called family because they haven't paid any attention to Sherly since her parents died." Said Noah who made the entire room look at Sherly with pity.

Bella who was sitting next to Sherly pulled the long-haired woman into her arms.

"Don't be sad. Now you're a member of the Alexander family." Bella's words made Sherly feel more guilty.
