Hear My Wish's
Chapter 20 – Overcast
Even two days and ten hours he had settled at home
Charlotte, Dean's fiancee. The atmosphere of this house is much more alive than
her house. The number of residents alone is twice as much as the house
Edwin, who was only three if he didn't count. Tak
just that, everyone in Charlotte's house gave her a good first impression, even though they knew exactly that Noel
he was once a street kid. Taylor Mitchell Handoyo, and her husband,
Adi Handoyo, who treated the boy like his own son. Charlotte, she,
the person who had nothing but fulfilled her fiance's request for Noel to stay for a while
just there. So did Sekar, Ningrum, and Raka, two housekeepers
and the manager of the garden at home with a modern interior. In fact, Mint, the,
the Scottish Fold's cat is furry white like the couple's snow pet
greeted him by meowing spoiled then rubbing his head on Noel's calf.
Their attitude was of course inversely proportional to Dean who had
want him to leave the house, or bi Nara who initially hesitates.
However, as the clock ticks, Noel desires to
home is getting more turbulent. No matter how warm the greeting passed in his ear, as good as
whatever their attitude to her, that person is not one of Edwin, bi Nara, any of them,
or Dean, the three people he's already considered family. Noel is no different
with other small children, who easily sulk when separated from
his family. He stayed in his room, spending his time lying down
on the bed with longing and a pair of eyes sometimes
glazed. The boy will not move. Even though it is presented various
like his favorite food. Noel would only turn his head if Charlotte came,
handphone and said
that Dean or Edwin called to talk to her. Little explanation
from Dean that his sister's coming to pick up the boy back after dad
they returned to Singapore.
Morning sunlight penetrated through the gap of the curtain.
With its warm and friendly light, it gently pats the surface of the skin
Noels. Greeting a child who has just awakened from dreamland. Pair of irises
the bright brown turned to stare at the circular object in the corner of the room.
The short needle of the hour already leads to the number ten. Noel hurried up from the spot
his sleep. He woke up late!
But it's okay. No one's gonna beat, curse, curse,
or shoot a rubber in his arm just for getting up late.
After all, his private teacher didn't come. Because, this time is the middle school holiday
lasted. There will be no teaching until January of next year.
The sound of knocking on the door broke the silence.
“Eh, Noel is awake. Come on, breakfast first, deck,” says
Scroll over and bring a plate of pancakes, complete with honey and a small piece of butter that becomes a cake decorator
that's.
The short black haired lady smiled faintly, “Sepi,
yes, deck? My mom went to America last night, wanted to see my brother, brother,
said. Then Charlotte went to the vet again. Her cat..”
“Sister Edwin same brother Dean here not?” it's quick
cutting the explanation of Sekar.
Sekar.
Noel lowered his face again. Why two days
ten hours feels so long to him? He can't wait to come back
setting foot on the black-and-white floor of the veranda could make him feel like a small pawn. Landed
his fingers on Dean's grand piano keys, playing a simple song the young man had taught him. Pouring his experience in form
it's in his little spiral-lined book. Or, perhaps, the most
want from those three things. Feel back living together
‘family’.

“Your
dad wants you to bring me there, too? Why all of sudden?”
From behind the opening of the slightly open door, Noel
focusing his one-eyed gaze on Charlotte who was speaking
by telephone. Noel had no idea what the girl was talking about,
Charlotte immediately approached Ningrum and Sekar. Then, the three of them rushed over
towards the room of the blond unraveling girl hurriedly.
Noel also did not know what they were going to do. But, uh,
it seems they will be really busy for a moment.
For a lifetime, Noel had never thought of escaping
from his residence. Not even once while he was still living in
under the same roof with bang Gondrong and five friends. Yet, I don't know
why did the idea suddenly cross his mind. Yep! That way, he can
to cut off all the clouds that dwell in his heart. He can go through
return home this afternoon!
Quickly Noel put in some of his stuff
scattered and carrying his backpack.
I don't know much about the people in this house. But, uh,
lucky for him. Thanks to his ears that often hear Ningrum
reprimanding Raka who is careless because often men forget to lock the fence and
the main door of the house.

“Wait..”Charlotte grabbed her phone that was ringing softly from
in bag. “Hello? Oh, it's Sekar, huh?
Why?”
“Anu...
Ma'am... Noel..”
“Noel? Noel why? Don't want to eat? If he doesn't want to
eat, see the list
on book. Who knows, she doesn't like what you cook.”
“Not,
Ma'am! Noel wasn't in his room! Earlier, Ningrum same Raka also had been looking
also, but nothing! Noel lost!”
A pair of bluish-green eyes was widened, “Kok.
can do?! Hoe? A schooner? Now!”
That moment also the call ended.
Charlotte's heart was suddenly racing. Nervousness
forcing the girl to bite the fingernail tip of her fingers, even though it was already
covered by nail polish.
“Hey, <TAG1>,
hey..”Dean
slowly keep Charlotte's delicate hand away from her lips. “What happen?” tanyakanya.
“I...
Got... I got a call..”
The young man took off his seatbelt, “Calm down,” he pulled his face
get closer to Charlotte, then land a kiss on the girl's temple
blond next to him. “What
happened?”
“Noel...
he.. he’s gone!”
“What?”
“One
of my maid told me that she could’t find him anywhere! Even though the others
were searching for him too!”his screeches.
Dean leaned his back head against his back
chair, he sighed deeply and then exhaled slowly. “Alright, alright..” the young man.
massaging his forehead for a moment, “We can look
for him after I drive my Dad back to the airport. Because, I’m afraid that’d
make Dad feel suspicious we’re keeping strangers as a part of ‘family member’”
Charlotte's heart beat is back to normal.
All
it's gonna be okay, isn't it?
“Okay...
Okay, then... I got it.”
