My Annoying Superstar's

There's A Story

All the way to the apartment, Cruz was silent. Noa also fell silent, not daring to start the conversation. Noa caught a glimpse of how Cruz looked like everyone else while holding the baseball bat.

Cruz kept holding Noa's hand until they entered the living room. Milli greeted them by meowing slowly.

Cruz sat Noa down in the living room and walked towards the P3K box near the kitchen, then returned with medicine and an ice pack in his hand.

" I'm doing nothing" Noa said as Cruz looked at her cheek.

" Here I see", Cruz insisted.

Noa forced to show her cheek that was still red and slightly inert at the end of her lips to Cruz.

Cruz breathed a heavy sigh. " I should have hit that guy with a baseball bat" Cruz said regretfully.

Noa laughed hearing Cruz mumble like that. " Don't dong, you'll be in jail for killing people".

Cruz pressed the compress against Noa's cheek and took the ointment from the P3K box.

" Noa, promise me. Don't ever do anything like this again" Cruz stared at Noa.

Noa was silent, she could only hold a compress on her cheek while looking at Cruz.

" Never run in the direction of danger as before. I may sometimes be mean to you. But I would never hurt you like that. So I can kill anyone who hurts you", Cruz continued.

Noa was silent at Cruz's words. His heart was pounding fast, hearing every word Cruz said sincerely.

Cruz took a little ointment and applied it to the corner of Noa's lips.

" Why are you like this?", Noa asked as she looked at Cruz who was busy applying ointment.

" Why do you think?", Cruz threw the question back at Noa.

Noa fell silent. His head thought of a thousand and one reasons why Cruz was so kind to him.

'Did Cruz really like me like what he said yesterday?. Can't be!. Yesterday Cruz just pranked me. There can't be such a feeling. Awake Noa, open your eyes. You're too fascinated by her kindness ', Noa is impassioned.

" Because now we are friends?", Noa answered after her inner struggle.

Cru smiled as he closed the ointment and put it back in a P3K box.

" Hmm.maybe so", Cruz answered ambiguously.

Noa laughed in relief. 'Thank goodness I didn't answer anything strange. Otherwise I'll be ashamed for the rest of my life', Noa's inner relief.

" You don't have any other complaints, do you?", Cruz asked as he scrutinized the insensitive woman's cheek in front of him.

" Yes, I'm fine", Noa answered in spirit.

" Good, but I like your kick on his chest. That was amazing", Cruz gave a thumbs up at Noa.

" Of course. That's my forte. Just these pants are too narrow so I can't kick any harder. Too bad", Noa said as she looked at the pants Tan gave her.

Cruz smiled looking at this girl in front of him, a sense of anxiety attacked him. I want her to kiss Noa's cheeks. But Cruz pushed away that desire, before Noa lifted her head like the man.

" You'll have to do that if another man comes near you and has malicious intentions. Except for me", Cruz advised Noa.

" Why are there exceptions? You grabbed my hair yesterday, that includes crime", Noa narrowed her eyes at Cruz.

Cruz said "That was yesterday. Now we're friends. So when you hit your own best friend ", Cruz gives an excuse.

Noa thought for a moment. " It's true. But you if I'm evil again look out", Noa threatened.

"What?", Noa did not hear.

" No" Cruz smiled at Noa.

' Haaaah.... Basic insensitive woman', Cruz grumbled in the heart while sighing.

After that night there was some news coming out about the celebrity fights at the night club.

But it's not Cruz's name if he feels depressed because of it. Cruz looked ordinary and sebodo very.

Who is depressed? Letu and Nina. Taking care of these two kids is like endless.

But filming their Couple star for two days went smoothly. One of the activities that are done outside the home is they do social activities in an orphanage foundation.

It was Cruz's idea. They distributed food and new clothes to the children in the parlour.

During a shooting break, Noa sits in the garden of the parlour watching the children play ball, Cruz chatting with Noa.

" You want to hear this sad story about a child's relationship and this orphanage? ", cruz started the conversation. " It's only you and Letu who know this story".

Noa nodded while waiting for Cruz to continue his story.

" There used to be a 6-year-old boy, whose life was not very difficult but quite stifling for him. His biological father died of a tragedy and his new father was a drunken office worker. Her mother was a Kindergarten teacher and gave birth to one more child from her new husband".

" The stepfather of this child beat his mother every time she was drunk and her mother always forgave her husband the next day. One day because she could not stand the treatment of her husband, the mother asked for a divorce. But the answer from her husband was a blind punch and anger".

" Because she saw her husband who had dark eyes, the mother told her 6-year-old son to take away his 1-year-old sister. Go with a box of milk and a pacifier for his sister. The boy ran carrying his sister on his back without looking back in fear. Afraid her mother would never look for them again".

Noa continued to listen to Cruz, while looking at this man in front of her. Cruz's face did not show sadness but an actual heavy wound was revealed.

" His good sister remained asleep on her brother's back, but her brother's leg was already very sick from walking all day as far away from home as possible. In the end the older brother decided to go into a courtyard of the building and sit on the stairs. The next few hours the owner of the building came out and he was the head of this orphanage".

" He took care of the brothers with all his heart. Feed them, new clothes and warm blankets. Take care of them for weeks without asking for money. Finally their mother came to pick me up after a few months apart. They start a new life better even with a less good economy. But they're happy without their stepfather", Cruz closes the story.

Cruz smiled at Noa. " That's the end of the story" Cruz told Noa.

" How's the boy doing now?" asked Noa.

"Good news. Very good at the moment", Cruz smiled.

Noa smiled. " Thankfully. Can you pass on my message to the boy?".

" What do you want to say?", asked Cruz.

" Tell him he's a great, tough kid. Stay strong and strong, because many love him. Including me", Noa gave a message.

Cruz smiled at Noa and nodded "i'll tell her".

Cruz pulled one of Noa's hands and stuck his face in Noa's palm, setting his breath slowly.

" Let this be a moment. I need to fill up the energy", Cruz closed his eyes and then managed to breathe as quietly as possible.

Noa just smiled and let Cruz do that.

Everything that sparkles turns out to always have a story, as well as cruz. Even though he shines every day, there are injuries and traumas that he has been storing up all this time. That's life.
