THE ENTERTAINER

CHAPTER 26

Some of the bruises on Naya's body have started to fade. He has been receiving all the treatment in a hospital for almost a week. Noah always comes with him after finishing office work.

Like tonight, Noah comes to see him after a day of terrorizing Naya with dozens of messages and five calls. Asking his condition or giving orders so that Naya does not take medication late.

“How are you doing, Darling?” Noah kissed softly Naya's forehead.

While those who receive a kiss are still not used to the romance. Naya always looked embarrassed.

“Have eaten?” tanyakanya.

Naya nodded.

Noah glanced towards the table. There was still leftover food and just touched the edge.

Noah grunts. “This is what you mean already eat?” He pointed at the bowl that contained the porridge.

He calls someone, asks for a new meal for Naya. After that, he took off his suit, folded his shirt arms up, then loosened the black tie that had strangled him. While Naya, enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Noah moved towards the door after hearing a knock. He came back with a tray full of food, then put it on the nightstand.

“I have to make sure you spend this.”

Naya sighed. He's very tasteful.

“Naya. Don't argue, yes.”

Naya's lips that were just about to protest, instantly clenched. He nodded in fear.

Noah can be very gentle at times, but it can also be very scary.

The first bribe landed in his mouth. He could see how sincere Noah was. Maybe Noah was trained when taking care of his mother.

“Noah.”

“Hmm?”

“How's mom?” ask Naya carefully.

“It's getting better. These few days he has started to smile small.”

Naya smiled happily. There's a longing to see Noah's mother again soon. Suddenly a glimpse of the memory of Noah's words about himself with his mother flashed.

The mood turned silent. Only the sound of the spoon clashing against the glass plate as Noah stirred the warm porridge.

“Why do you like me?” ask Naya suddenly.

Naya. His gaze dropped, he was embarrassed. “Oh, sorry. I mean ...”

“I love you, Naya.”

Naya froze, but not with Noah. Noah offered a second bribe. This time, it was very difficult to chew. Naya's thoughts suddenly war with her own feelings. There is no woman who does not want to be loved.

After successfully swallowing the food, Naya emboldened her. “Don't love me, I don't deserve you.”

Noah did not heed that sentence. Noah still patiently feeds Naya, though the third feed stops on Naya's tightly shut lips.

Noah put the spoon back into his plate, then put it on the nightstand. He then held out a glass of water. Naya took it and drank it a little.

After putting down the glass, Noah turned around and walked out of the room without taking out a word.

Naya thinks Noah is angry with her. Ten minutes later, Noah entered with a large brown envelope. Noah gave it to Naya.

Naya observes the delivery address, the address is her brothel first. He took out the envelope. When she found out that it was a divorce letter her husband had sent her, her smile turned sad.

Noah snatches the envelope Naya is still holding and pulls out something else there. A photo fell. Brian's wedding photo with Yuki. Their happy faces were clearly engraved in the photo.

“Brian did not even wait for me to sign this divorce letter,” he said with a bitter smile, his tears falling again. It felt thousands more painful than when Freya hit him and slapped him to the point of bleeding.

Noah was standing in front of him with a flat face but his jaw was stiffened. It feels like boiling back. This woman in front of him was already very shattered. Noah frustrated. How to make Naya realize that she also deserves to be happy. Be with him.

“Naya!” Noah called out firmly.

Naya flinched, she looked up to see Noah who had pulled his hair back. Naya knows, Noah is holding back his emotions.

“Why are you the only one who has to suffer, huh? Everyone who hurts you is happy out there. Why do you keep torturing yourself?”

Naya. “I'm just protecting myself. My heart is already very broken. It feels very hard to fall in love again.”

“Then don't! How many times have I told you. Let me love you, let me approach you, and let me .. who treats the wound.”

Naya's tears are flowing. That speech was very warm in his heart. He could really fall down again if Noah said so. The wound Noah meant was drowned in a container containing the best medicinal herbs.

Noah pulls Naya into his arms. “There's me, Naya. You're not really alone right now. I will be your family again, with my mother.”

Naya no longer held back her sobbing. He hugged Noah tightly. Should it? Can it? Is this true? His heart was struggling to heal, but his mind was still trying to bring out all those bad memories. Awaken Naya, if her defense will run out if this fails again.

The sound of the bedroom door was opened violently, the sound of the wheel getting clearer hit the silence. From the door, reality came back against them. The reality that Naya almost forgot. That, there would be no place for him. Although Noah clasped tightly onto his hand. But the gaze of a man sitting on his wheelchair was, very clearly, staring with anger at him.
