The sun rose up in the blue sky, birds singing, a refreshing cold air blowing in the beautiful city of Buna, the sun shined through a window in a certain house, waking up a sleeping woman, Maya, from her slumber, but she didn’t want to wake up so she put the covers over her head, trying to sleep more, when all of a sudden, she heard a grunt from beside her and someone flipping over.
Maya thought that, it must be her boyfriend, but wait she doesn’t have a boyfriend, she lives alone in a small apartment, where light doesn’t come that often, especially not in February, where is she? She slowly got up from her sleeping position, sat up and turned around to see, what she hopes was, a half-naked man, thankfully, not a completely naked one, because that would have been wild.
‘Okay, Maya, don’t freak out. But who the heck is this man? Did I have a one-night stand? No, I am sure I stayed home to watch a drama, I didn’t get out of the house, so where did this handsome guy come from? The sky?’
“No, he is your neighbor.” A voice said in a monotone tone, showing up out of the blue, right in front of her face.
Maya screamed at the top of her lungs, waking the man beside her, who told her to shut up and asked her what was wrong, with annoyance visible on his face, thinking it was his friend, sleeping next to him, who’s voice got high pitched for some reason, but when saw the face of the person next to him, he narrowed his eyes and tried to see if it’s really a woman in a very revealing dress by his side, or if he is merely dreaming.
“Who are you?” He asked confused, as a slight breeze blew, he shivered and realized he doesn’t have a shirt on. “What happened here?”
“I don't know, ask this.” Maya said, pointing at the weird object floating in front of them.
“I have a name, it’s Nova. I am here to explain to you both, your mission.”
“What mission?” Lennon asked. “Your mission to be a perfect married couple, give the male lead a good childhood and raise him into a fine, healthy young man.”“Excuse me?” Maya said, titling her head.
“The child of this couple, you two.” Nova said, pointing at the both of them.“But I am not married.” Lennon said, remembering that he never signed any marriage papers.
“And I was never pregnant before.” Maya never took a pregnancy test or even attempted to. She never thought about having a child either, so suddenly being told that she has a child, made her not only confused but also sigh in her head, because all she knows about children, are them being annoying all the time.
“Nobody said you were, the bodies you are in, are the couple. They both died last night, the wife with a sudden heart attack and the husband, his brain died. The male lead will supposedly go to an orphanage a week later but we realized that it’s not for the benefit of this world, that he goes there, so you both are his parents now, good luck.” Nova said, disappearing from the room, in thin air, not giving them a chance to react.They both sat there in complete silence, until Maya sighed and decided to introduce herself, to try and lessen the tension, since they will be stuck together for months, maybe even years, so it's better to start interacting now.
“Maya.” Maya said, going for a handshake, while the man stared at her for a few seconds, before he extended his hand as well.
“Lennon.” Lennon said, with an awkward smile.“You should wear a shirt.” Maya said, turning her head away from Lennon, before she starts blushing. She is not one to stare, but damn, he has a great body.
“Oh yeah. But where can I find a shirt in this room? It’s the size of my whole apartment.” Lennon said, looking around the big sized room, that was the same as a suite in a fancy hotel, in movies.
“I think it’s one of these doors, they probable have a room for a wardrobe.” Maya said, as Lennon went to open each door and the third one was the husband’s wardrobe, he got in and took a white shirt.In the meanwhile, Maya found a file on her nightstand, titled Maya Freya, it had her first name but that wasn’t her last name, as she was about to open, someone knocked on the door, so she put it down and went to see who it was.
It was the couple’s three year old son, the male lead of this world and the child they have to take care of, but something was weird, he was looking down and slightly shivering, while stuttering and trying to form some words, after a couple of minutes, of Maya waiting for him to speak, crouching down and not knowing what to do, she never saw a child this small, she is an only child, he finally uttered one words, ‘hungry’.
Maya didn’t sense this at first, but this child is really scared of her, he is too skinny for a third year old, were these people feeding him? Its such a big house, aren’t there supposed to be maids to take care of him, if his mother is not available?
When Lennon saw Maya standing at the door, he went to see what was happening, the moment he appeared, the child got even more nervous and apologized for asking for food, this early in the morning, 10 am, and left, walking downstairs, as they stared at him, fazed and confused.
To say the both were shocked will be an understatement, the hell did these parents do to their child? Did they take care of him at all? Why does he look so neglected and sad? They should really try to be good parents, no great parents, to make sure those years he lived in sadness, will all be replaced by absolute joy.
Maya went to the child, whose name, they still don’t know, she carried him in her arms and kissed his cheek. The child never expected this, his mother would always ignore him and take every chance she could to stay away from him, since for her, he was a nuisance and a waste of space, but now his mother is carrying him and she even kissed his cheek! If this is a dream, he never wants to wake up! “Let’s go eat, shall we?” Maya said, with a sweet smile; much to the child’s surprise, who got excited and nodded his head, thinking that his dream keeps getting better and better. While Noah knows that a dream will have to end eventually, he learned it when his mother used to wake him up, every time he gets to the best part of the dream, but for this dream, he doesn't want anyone to wake him up or pull him out of it, because it's the perfect fantasy, he always wished for. Entering the ki
Once in the café, everyone’s eyes were on them, on Lennon to be exact, the famous actor and idol, who every girl dream of dating him and becoming his wife, but why is he with a woman and a child? Is it his wife and son? That’s a big scoop! The family of three didn’t notice the eyes following them, but Maya sure did notice someone taking a picture of them, making her uncomfortable and tightly hold Noah’s hand as she told him to look down. She didn’t tell anything to Lennon, letting him order them their food, waiting to tell him when they sit down, without anyone around. As soon as the waitress left, who kept glancing at them even after she left, Maya gestured Lennon to come closer and told him about the others looking at them and taki
“What do we do now?” Lennon asked, still trying to get some personal space and finally getting it, when Maya noticed how suspicious they looked and the cameras pointed at them. “Run and wait for someone to call you, because you must have a mana.....” Speak of the devil and he will show up, that’s exactly what happened, well not exactly, nobody showed up but someone called, the phone they have rang and the caller id is husband’s manager. They now know the owner of the phon
Lennon got the location to the company, he is working under, from the internet, and as he parked the car, he looked for the entrance when he suddenly heard someone bang on the car’s window, it was a girl, screaming at him for cheating on her, making him realize that news ran faster than electricity, so the news about his wife and son is already out, and made him also think that he had a girlfriend, that he didn’t know about and lied to, while in fact the girl was merely a fan, who felt entitled to Lennon, as if she owned him and he was her boyfriend. As he was about to step out of the car and apologize to her for apparently cheating on her; two men in a black suit walked up to the car, and told the lady to step away before they use force
Lennon theory came out to be true, because as soon as Noah woke up, he sleepily rubbed his eyes and told Maya he was hungry, while requesting a hug, by extending his arms towards her. She picked him up and gave him a kiss, she walked to the kitchen, where she left her phone and purse, that she have been going through for quite a while now, since Noah was asleep. "What did you like to eat?" Maya asked, she already searched the internet for any close by takeout restaurant and their are plenty of them. "Burger!" Noah said with enthusiasm, throwing his hands in the air, his eyes lighting up, remembering how delicious his friends made it sound.
Noah ended up sleeping, after a few minutes of her singing, she kissed his head and carried him, to her and Lennon bedroom, since she didn't know any other rooms and didn't want to bother him by her moving around, as she already bothered him by carrying him. As she walked down the stairs, she saw Lennon struggling at the door, with a million of bags in his hands, so she quickly went to help and criticize his technique of carrying things. "Why not carry them one by one?" "Because there are a lot and I am tired, you try getting screamed at by five old men and angry middle aged woman, then chased around by girls for forty minutes." Lenno
After their emotional moment, Lennon decide to cheer up the mood, by telling his wife and son he bought a board-game, that they can play right now; Noah excitedly jumped on his bed, then got carried away by Lennon on his back, downstairs while Maya followed behind them with equal cheerfulness. Playing together, gave them so much laughter and fun, excluding the few times Lennon and Maya fought, calling each other cheaters when the other wins, while Noah was having the best time of his life. At one point, Maya had enough and got up, acting irritated and fuming with angry, while in reality, she only got up to leave room for Noah to play and for her to make dinner, since it's 8 pm.
Two months and a half later, Maya was making breakfast for Lennon and Noah, while the both of them were sleeping together, in Noah's room; time passed quickly, quicker than Maya thought, these two past months have been fun, Noah is a sweet boy and is really helpful all the time, he makes hard for her to take care of him, but she can notice the difference between that day and today, he smiles more and has a bright auto around him, he also gained a lot of weight, he is no longer like a stick, he is slowly transforming to a cute panda and she full support that, since for her, chubby kids are the best kids. Everything has been normal these past few weeks, if you exclude their morning routine, Lennon occasional odd behaviors and the death threats she has been getting from 'fans', who didn't believ
