Emlia looked at the annoyed man before her. Accepting Noah in his life was Mahesa's wish, but if there was one thing Ilina would not accept from Mahesa, then it was Noah.
Wh why?
Anyway don't want to. There is no other reason or emotional cause.
"I won't stop" Noah said as soon as Ilina turned around, wanting to get into her room alone. "I'll keep coming to bother you."
Irritatedly Ilina turned around. "This is how you prove your love for a girl? Forced and stubborn?"
"Love? Hearing your love makes me happy." Noah moving. Approaching Ilina and bowing right beside her ear. "But, My dear Lia ...."
Noah's hand stroked the corner of his lips.
"I kneel to you not to say love, but obsession."
Ilina clenched her hands. Upset to see Noah smiling without burden.
"I'll make my obsession countered. Anyhow. You taught me, right?" Noah grabbed Ilina's hand, kissed her gently. But different from his kiss, Noah said sharply. "Take anything, without respecting the owner."
So she would take Ilina's heart even if Ilina didn't want to, would she?

Noah knew Ilina must be upset, because it was contrary to what she said, Noah did not bother her today.
While letting Ilina calm down, Noah thought of taking his mother for a walk after a long time.
Well, not many things could be seen in a village like this, but Mama was not the type of city woman who hated the village.
"Mom thought today could meet your girl."
Noah chuckled, clenching his grasp onto his mother's hand. "Please be patient in a moment. Mama's gonna see him soon."
Mama's rubbing on her cheek made Noah look away. "It's not strange to know there's a woman rejecting your face."
"It's not about the face, Ma."
"Ah, right too. He likes Mahardika. What can I do."
Noah stopped walking. "Hey, don't say it like I'm not more handsome than Mahesa. Mama should have said I'm the most handsome."
"It's hard to say that when your rival Mahesa."
Because for God's sake, why does it always have to be him?
"Did Mama have any advice, how to make that stubborn woman accept me?"
My mom smiled instead. "The harder a woman rejects you, the harder you struggle to change her rejection, the fruit of it is eternal memory."
"What's that?"
"He will always remember that you did that for him. Women forget kindness but not how they are fought. So, Mama's advice, just be patient."
That's not advice at all. Although Noah accepted it because he understood.
Taken his mother around, ignoring how the villagers looked at them curiously. There are two reasons for that, Noah said.
First, Noah bought the most expensive house in this village which for all villagers, it might have been very extraordinary. And secondly, despite being in the village, Mama wears a simple but elegant fancy suit, and Noah who is a public figure naturally has different vibes.
No one dared to talk first. Maybe because they are still assessing the situation and trying to understand why rich people like them choose to live in the village.
"Excuse me."
For the first time, Noah hears someone talking to him. He turned his head, raising an eyebrow at a girl Noah somehow knew but could not remember.
Wh who?
"Yes?"
The girl timidly showed me her phone. "This-this is you, right? Andreas Noah?"
Ck. "That's how." Noah is no longer an artist, and he is not interested in becoming a singer anymore. Then there is no point in maintaining courtesy to the fans. "Then?"
The girl looked at him with a blushed face. "I-that, I-I remember taking care of you when you got hurt. You're being treated at the puskesmas near here."
Something like that ever happened? Sorry, Noah does not like to remember if it is not interesting.
"So that's it." Noah turned. "If there's no need, I'm leaving. My mother wants calm."
"Ah—"
He still wants to talk, but Noah takes Mama away.
