PHOSPHENE: Your Other Side

The Past of Noah (1)

Seeing Anna calm down, Noah hesitantly began to continue his story.

" I was still receiving hospital treatment back then, when I met my father Jeffrey for the first time."

Back Flash.

" Daughter, I've heard all your life stories and I feel so sorry for you. From now on I'm your father, you've been my son."

Jeffrey said to the little Noah who was very confused by his words.

" I know you must be confused but I promise I'll give you whatever you ask. You know I'm very rich."

" But sir, I still have a father."

" I'm sorry to say this but your father has agreed that I take you as a child."

" Is he here? "

" No, he's gone after handing you over to me. "

Little Noah looked gloomy after hearing his father abandoned him. But Jeffrey used the opportunity to persuade him.

" Nah, look at this what I brought. You must like him. "

" aaaah.. These toys all my friends have except me. Is this right for me?."

Noah innocently hugged the gift of Jeffrey. Seeing that Jeffrey smiled.

" I'll give you all the toys you want even the toy store I can buy for me."

Noah is amused by Jeffrey's advances. The innocent little boy finally wanted to come with him to be a child.

Little Noah was placed in a mansion where several servants were always on standby to serve him. He was educated at the best school there.

Time passed without feeling almost 2 years he became the son of a billionaire.

The new life he has gradually made him believe that Jeffrey is a good person is evidenced by the affection he received from many people including Jeffrey.

" Yes dad. But.."

" But what?."

" I'm so lonely because you only visit me once a month here."

" Hhhm..Then do you want to stay with me?."

A smile appeared on Noah's face, now 10 years old. He imagined the perfect life because he could have a father and mother.

He nodded expectantly for Jeffrey to be serious about his words.

" But there's something you have to do if you want to stay with us. You know my wife, Julia is sick."

" Yes my father already knows."

" Therefore, when there you must be Elnathan Noah. My son who went missing 2 years ago."

The look on Noah's face was full of confusion. Jeffrey finally explained his plan all along.

" Since losing my wife's son to pain and depression. If you become Noah our son then it will be very good for Julia and you can also get the love of a mother who is abundant."

Noah is still digesting Jeffrey's words but in his heart of course he wants to have a perfect family.

" Forget everything that's happened to you, and the people that hurt you. Your future is everything, so live as Elnathan Noah and you can have everything you could never have imagined."

" But dad, what if your wife finds out."

" No, because you have many similarities and I'm sure he won't be suspicious."

Noah seemed to think, seeing that Jeffrey smiled.

" You don't worry, you just need to change my name and status to my son. If you become Noah that means you're no longer my adopted son but you're my biological son."

Having a foster father as good as Jeffrey was a boon to her. Without any doubt Noah agreed and put his hope in living a better life ahead.
