My Annoying Superstar's

Wish July

Cruz drove his car to Noa's house. He kept thinking about the answer Noa would give him.

Does Noa like him as much as he likes Noa?

Cruz's phone rings, Letu calls him. Cruz picked up the phone with a headset.

"Hello what's wrong?", Cruz was excited.

" Where are you Cruz?" asked Lethu.

"On the road, go somewhere. What's the matter?", asked Cruz as he heard Letu's voice sounding very carefully.

" Cruz, I don't actually want to tell you this. But manager July kept begging me" said Letu softly.

"What's up?", Cruz said flatly.

"July's sick. He refused to eat. He would take medicine and eat if he had met you" Letu said.

Cruz fell silent then spoke "Tell them I'm refusing", Cruz replied briefly.

" Yes, I guessed it. But I saw that July was very weak, Cruz. It seems like this time only you can persuade her" Letu said.

" I can't brother and I don't want to. Don't force me" Cruz said sternly and hung up.

Cruz is so upset, Cruz knows July won't stop trying until he gets what he wants. That's the nature of July since long ago.

Cruz turned his car into the residential area of Noa as his phone rang again. New number is listed there.

" Hello", Cruz picked up the phone while patting his car.

" Hello good night, son Cruz. Forgive me for interrupting the nights like this", the voice in the room sounded hoarse.

" I'm sorry, who is this?" asked Cruz.

" I'm Lira, mother of July", the answer is not good.

Cruz fell silent and replied politely. " Yes aunt. What's the need to call?", asked Cruz.

" Cruz, forgive your aunt before. Auntie didn't mean anything bad to you. But can auntie ask for help? July is sick. For 2 days he refused to eat or take medicine. Except after meeting you", obviously.

Cruz was silent yet to give any answer.

" Aunty son please. Just this once please" he said sadly.

Cruz's heart paled, she wavered to hear July's mother waving like that.

"Yes aunty, I will help aunty" Cruz replied.

" Thank you, son. Thank you very much" replied Julie. Then call the phone disconnected.

Cruz hit the wheel of his car in annoyance. He stared at the entrance to Noa's house. Now Noa must be waiting for him.

Cruz calls Noa, on the second ring Noa picks up. " Well, hello Cruz, where are you?" asked Noa.

" Noa I'm sorry, I don't think I can go to your house yet. I have to go somewhere" Cruz said weakly.

" Oh you have a job? Yes it's okay. 2 more days we will meet during filming right? ", Noa replied calmly.

" Yes Noa. 2 more days while filming we will meet", Cruz replied not warmly. Cruz wants to meet Noa now, not 2 days.

" Yes, you're careful on the road. Byee", Noa then hung up.

Cruz looked at his phone and grumbled to himself "Ah shit, I can't hear the answer today".

Cruz called Letu. When Cruz spoke up. "Sister I'm going to see July. But with you officially" Cruz said, then he hung up.

Cruz stands at July's doorstep. He was treated in one of the VVIP rooms of a Hospital.

Seeing Cruz came July's mother immediately stood up and approached Cruz.

" Daughter, thank you for taking your time to see July" she said, holding Cruz's hand.

" Yes aunt. Equally", Cruz replied with his baritone voice.

Hearing Cruz July's voice instantly opened his eyes and smiled.

" Al, have you come?", July greets Cruz.

" Yes, I'm coming" Cruz replied slowly.

" Aunty leave you two. Talk" said Cruz's mother.

Cruz nodded politely to July's mother. After his mother came out July still kept staring at Cruz.

" Thank you for coming Al" said July happily. His face brightened when he saw Cruz.

Cruz nodded, there was compassion in his heart to see July like that. But it's just the pity of a friend never more. Cruz sat in a chair near the bed.

" Now eat. Don't torture yourself like that" Cruz said, then picked up the food on the table.

" Yes I'll eat" said July.

Hunger suddenly strikes July as Cruz treats her well like that. July took medicine and finally wanted to be given vitamins through intravenous fluids.

Cruz sat quietly not talking much to the girl in front of him.

"Al, I will definitely recover quickly if you are with me here. I miss you ", said July holding Cruz's hand.

" July... Can you stop doing this?", Cruz asked as he looked into July's eyes deeply.

July fell silent then smiled innocently "Do what? I just want to be with you" she said.

" Torturing yourself to meet me" Cruz replied straight to the point.

July fell silent, she bit her lips. " I just want to be with you Al. I just want you to treat me as well as you used to" said July.

Cruz did not answer.

" Look now, you treated me well when I was sick right? Do I have to keep getting sick for you to see me?", July started sobbing slowly.

Cruz breathed. "I'm like this so you don't misunderstand me. My feelings for you are just a July co-worker. I hope you understand that", Cruz explained.

Cruz stood up. " Eating, resting and taking medication. Don't bother your mother. I'm leaving", Cruz said goodbye.

" Al, do you like Noa?", asked July directly.

Cruz stood still in his place. " Do you need to know that?", asked Cruz.

" Yes, I should know Cruz", replied July in a heavy voice.

Cruz turned around and saw July. Cruz answered "Yes, I like the girl. I really like it. I don't even know if he likes me or not. But I'm going after him, because I know if I miss it then I'll regret it for the rest of my life July" replied the honest cruz.

July wept over Cruz's heart. Sadness and heartbreak hit him. Know that the fact is there's no place in Cruz's heart for her. It's all over, it's over.

" Then why did you come here Al", July sobbed.

"Because of your mother. I came because of your mother July", Cruz answered and walked out the door leaving July alone crying.

July cried loudly and threw the item on the table in the bed. Anger mixed with heartbreak hit him like a storm.

" Noa.I hate you", July shouted in anger.
