THE ENTERTAINER
CHAPTER 24
“Where are we going?”
“Meeting my woman,” replied Noah with a small glance towards Naya who was instantly speechless.
Naya's heart stopped beating. “You already have a wife?”
Noah laughed. “Hahaha, I'm sorry. I mean my mom. I'll take you to see my mom.”
Naya breathed her leg. He thought, will face abuse and abuse again. But, somehow a little relief was mixed with pleasure. His smile came out without him noticing.
After walking for more than an hour, Naya wonders why Noah stopped in the parking area of a mental hospital.
“Ibuku sick. She is now receiving treatment here.”
Naya surprised. As soon as he woke up, there was a wound in Noah's sad eyes. Why did he never realize it? Or is it because Noah is good at hiding it?
Noah walked into the hospital area. In front of there is a reception desk. After Noah filled out the list, he was given an access card to the treatment room. They passed through a beautiful garden, and several patients who had each nurse beside them.
Until, Noah uses his access card to open the door of the all-white room.
“Good morning, Bu.” Noah walked in with a smile.
Naya was still standing in her place. Noah knelt in front of the wheelchair facing the large window above.
“Bu, today Noah wants to introduce someone's mother.”
There's no answer.
Noah stands up, and takes Naya's hand, allowing her to meet her mother. I don't know why Naya's tears fell. His heart is very painful. Although with a blank look, Naya could see the woman with almost gray hair, having a very pretty face. Naya won't question anymore, where Noah's perfect face came from.
“I Naya, Bu.” Naya knelt down.
There's still no answer. Noah took both of his mother's hands and kissed her inside. Naya again shed her tears, she lowered her head to hide her wet eyes. He is always weak when dealing with a mother and child.
“Bu, this is Naya, which I told you about. Women who have taken Noah.” heart
Naya immediately raised her head and looked at Noah.
“Noah.”
Noah jerks. The voice was not Naya's, but her mother's. His mother finally recognized him. After all these years his mother never called him again.
“Mother, yes, I'm Noah, Bu.” Noah almost screamed happily.
Just this time, Naya saw a fragile Noah like this. There was no authority and arrogance of a Noah that he knew. For an instant, Naya thought about whether to let the man clutch his already scarred heart.
“Noah.” His mother kept repeating the word. Noah immediately ran over to call the nurse who was there. While Naya he left with his mother.
Naya did not take her eyes off the beautiful face, while Noah's mother's eyes went blank again.
“Bu, I'm sorry, because Mr. Noah must like a woman like me.” Naya's tears trickled down, though she did not know whether Noah's mother heard them or not.
“I'm sure Mr. Noah's feelings are only temporary, Mom. Once he is satisfied, he will definitely leave me. If not, I promise to leave it. Mom don't worry about anything.”
“But if I can, can I ask for one condition?”
There was no answer, Naya smiled.
Without an answer, Naya carefully took Noah's mother's two hands and grasped them. His heart warmed but also felt tight at the same time. Naya's tears fell down, as she felt her grasp retorted. Although very weak. Like getting permission to hold it.
After a doctor came and examined his mother's consciousness. Noah followed the doctor to the outside of the treatment room.
“After overseas treatment, Ms. Katherine has made a lot of progress. If I could tell, why did you bring your mother back here? Isn't the treatment there more modern?”
“My mother should always be within my reach.”
The doctor just nodded, even though he did not understand.
“And for a while, maybe one of my suggestions is, let your girlfriend take care of your mother.”
The doctor hinted to look towards his mother's room. There is Naya who patiently feeds Noah's mother while continuing to tell stories despite not getting a response.
Noah's heart warmed to see it. Naya has really let her take over all her feelings.
---
It's almost a week, Naya returned home to the mental hospital. Many developments from Noah's mother make Naya happy. Naya is like returning to have a mother again, after the departure of her mother-in-law first.
Naya happily cooked and drove him to the hospital. Noah sometimes accompanies him, sometimes he goes with Rio. Naya's smile shone again. Like having a new family. Although sometimes, his heart told him to realize there was still a wound inside there.
Naya challenged the side dishes, passing through the big lobby to get to where usually waiting for Noah's driver. Last information, Rio could not drive her, so Noah changed the driver who would drive her to the hospital. Not long after he waited, a black SUV stopped in front of him. The man inside lowered the black glass.
“Nona Naya?”
“Iya?”
“Please enter, Non.”
The man's stature was a little patchy, unlike Noah's other subordinates. Even so, without a doubt Naya went in there. Before the door passed through the exit portal, Noah called him.
“Halo.”
“Naya, the driver is a little late yes, there is a traffic jam on the highway. Can you wait? Or gini, ten minutes to the meeting is over. I picked you up.”
Naya held her breath, her body stiffened, while the driver in front of her glanced at her from the hanging mirror.
Naya smiled as if she did not want to worry the man across there.
“I've booked a taxi online.”
“You're serious?”
“Yes, it's I've been on the road.” Naya squeezed the end of her shirt. As much as possible normalize his trembling voice. His heart is beating very fast. His forehead began to sweat. He's so scared right now.
Noah snorted furiously. “Other times don't go without –”
“Noah. I.i'm fine. Don't worry, yes.” Naya took her breath in.
Noah felt something strange about Naya's voice. “Naya, where are you now?”
Connection interrupted. Naya's phone has been taken roughly.
