My Annoying Superstar's

Visit to Cruz's Mother's House

Noa got off Tian's car right in the parking lot in front of his office. “ Thank you for driving me”, Noa told Tian who got off the car.

“ Equally”, replied Tian smiling but his eyes stared back at Noa. “ It looks like someone is waiting for you “, Tian made Noa turn around and found Cruz leaning on his car as he continued to stare towards Tian and Noa.

Noa blinked her eyes in disbelief. ‘ this guy does not work ya’, inner Noa while staring at Cruz. 

“ Alright, thank you for taking care of me Tian. I will reply next time”, Noa told Tian.

Tian slightly advanced and lowered his head near Noa's ears. “ I wait for dinner”, Tian said right in Noa's ear. 

Noa smiled in agreement. Before getting into the car, Tian deliberately raised his hand to Cruz as if reprimanding. Cruz simply smiled coldly without replying, his heart hot as Tian whispered near Noa.

Then after the car left the parking lot. Cruz looked at Noa and called out to her with his index finger for Noa to come closer.

For some reason Noa felt afraid, as if Noa was committing a very great sin. Noa walked up to Cruz stiffly. When it was near Cruz directly put his palm on Noa's face.

“ Have you been healed? Did Tian treat you well?”, asked Cruz.

Noa fell silent, Cruz's hand still on his face. “ Yes I have healed and he is good to me”, Noa replied. 

Cruz nodded, then lowered his hand from Noa's face. Forgive me for not being able to help you back then, I was in the middle of a job that I couldn't stay”, Cruz said with regret. “ should have been from the beginning I drove you home”, cruz again sighed.

“ It's okay Cruz, I'm fine. And do you have no job today?”, Noa asked in wonder.

“ No, today I'm off, comfort myself”, said Cruz steady. Noa looked at Cruz with a look of disbelief.

“ Okay well, I canceled all my activities after Brother Letu said you're cured and will be delivered to the office ”, Cruz replied honestly. 

Noa pinched slowly on Cruz's arm. “ Why did you do that? You made sister Letu dizzy”, Noa nagged.

“ Because I thought of you and today is my mother's birthday”, Cruz said.

Noa was silent at Cruz's reply and asked regretfully for scolding Cruz. “ So are you going home to your mother?”, asked Noa. 

“ Yes, I am here to invite you to meet my mother”, Cruz replied shamelessly.

“ Me? can I celebrate your mother's birthday?”, asked Noa. 

“ Yes of course. You are a special guest”, Cruz said. 

Noa smiled at Cruz. “ Then I will meet with editor Ying first to hand over the script, after that we go yes. You want to wait in the car?”, asked Noa. 

Not Cruz name if he waited in the car, then there was a scene in the office Noa so early because Cruz.

Cruz and Noa were standing at the gate of Cruz's house and Noa seemed unsettled behind Cruz.

“ What is it?”, asked Cruz who saw Noa was not calm.

“ Are you sure it's okay if you come?”, Noa asked back.

“ I'm sure, because my own mother invited you”, Cruz said. 

Noa nodded to calm herself down. “ Okay let's go to”, take Noa.

Cruz smiled and opened the door of his house. Cruz's mother greeted the two of them with a happy face as she opened the door.

“ Cruz, I thought you forgot mom”'s birthday, said Cruz's mom.

“ There's no way I'll forget my mom's birthday, I told you I'd come” Cruz replied.

“ Noa, how are you? nice to see you again”, Cruz's mom hugs Noa warmly.

“ Thank you for inviting me aunt. Auntie how are you?”, Noa reciprocates Cruz's mother's warm embrace.

“ Aunt is very good. Sorry if the aunty invitation interfered with your working time”, said Cruz's mother. 

“ Yuk in. Your sister is busy cooking in kitchen”, Ms. Cruz invited them in.

Noa enters and joins Cruz's sister, busy in the kitchen. They quickly get along, while Cruz is busy taking out the groceries he bought with Noa. 

Mom nudged Cruz's arm. “ So this is your choice, son? “.

“ Yes, how is mom? beautiful right?”, Cruz asked his mother's opinion.

“ Yes she is beautiful and her heart also seems warm”, said mother.

“ Yes. He is very kind. But until now he has not accepted me to be his girlfriend. I have to pray for ya”, Cruz said with a cry.

“ I always pray for you nak”, replied Cruz's mother.

A few moments later the birthday song rang in the living room of Cruz's house. They were only the four of them but the atmosphere felt very warm and cheerful. 

Cruz handed a small gift to his mother. “ It's a gift for ibu”, Cruz said.

Cruz's mother opened the gift and found a very beautiful gold necklace. Cruz's mother smiled “ is very beautiful Cruz, thank you”, said Cruz's mother while stroking her son's hair.

“ Here's a gift I made ibu”, Cruz's sister offered a package containing a very sweet colored jacket.

“ Thank you my dear son. Where can you buy a jacket this expensive?”, asked Cruz's mother.

“ Of course from my beloved sister”, replied Cruz's sister who was greeted with atwa by us.

“ This gift for aunt”, Noa thrust a box to Cruz's mother.

“ Oh.. thanks Noa. Aunty loves this gift”, Cruz's mother is excited about receiving a massage tool from Noa. 

Cruz bengong's. “ I guess mommy likes jewelry better than me?”, Cruz looks pretended to be disappointed.

“ Mom loves jewelry. All women love Cruz jewelry. But a massage tool is precious jewelry in the age of the mother who is now Cruz”, replied Cruz Mother.

They all laughed at Cruz's mother's response.

After dinner, Cruz was smoking in the front yard. When mom approached him Cruz immediately turned off the cigarette. 

“ Cruz, there is something I want to tell you”, Mother said.

“ What's bu?”, Cruz waiting.

“Your fathers are out of jail. Mom told her not to bother you guys anymore”, explained mom. 

Cruz just kept quiet to hear his mother's story.

“ Mother does not know if she has changed or not. But if one day he comes to you, I hope you're not surprised to see him. But I'm sure he won't come near you. Forgive mom ”, said Ibu CRuz sadly.

Cruz remained silent and gave no response.

For a moment of silence. All are immersed in their own thoughts. 

“ Oh yes Cruz. A friend of yours sent me a gift, a very expensive bag. Even though mom is not used to wearing such expensive items but still say thank you to her”, said Mother.

“ Who? Brother Tan?”, asked Cruz in surprise.

“ Not.. the name is like it's on a calendar. June? July?”, I forgot a little, I'll see you again.

“ Yes bu”, Cruz smiled kindly then mom left Cruz alone on the page.

‘July? what the hell are you trying to do?’, Cruz.
