I Became The Protagonist’s Child chapter 56

Amani walks down stairs where he sees coffee on the table with a well made sandwich there were some sliced fruits on the side which made it all the more delightful. He smiles softly but sees Sihan is still gloomy.

He thinks on what to cheer him up with, he looks at Sihan coffee compared to his. Sihan was dark with no milk whatsoever and he looked nice and creamy. He smiles as he gently slips into the chair opposite to Sihan. He gently picks up the coffee and sips it. He slowly parts his lips as he begins to sing.

“Whoa, oh-oh
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me”

Sihan slowly looks up feeling a bit shy, he could feel it, the gaze directed at him. Soon he hears the song play on Amani’s phone, sihan is startled when he is held in a waltzing position as the male moves around the dining room singing. He feels his heart flutter as his heart can’t help but be distracted by the male in front of him.

“You don’t feel embarrassed by this?” Sihan inquires, feeling his heart full.

“By what?” He asks, oblivious.

“Well this, we are adults.”

“What does that have to do with anything? If anything, it’s the best time.”

“You’ll be late for work,”

“My schedule for the morning is free,”

Amani slips him back as they continue goofing off. Sihan feels nice, warm inside after their shenanigans but sadly Amani has work.

Sihan resolves is strong, he is not going to loose his baby he swears.

Noah is with his grandparents, they are taking him shopping. “Do you see anything you’d like, Noah?”

Noah smiles, “no Nana.”

“Aw, you can take something don’t be shy.” She chuckles.

She looks around in the toys section, her grandson was a good little boy. She didn’t mind having little trouble now and then but it’s okay.

Noah looks around but remains close to his grandma, he thinks of how his mother is doing that call the other day was concerning he worries. Should he go home?

Rosalie sees the sour look on the boy’s face and worries she is making him uncomfortable. She doesn’t want him to have bad memories here.

“Noah, how about after groceries we go to the park? We can make friends there?” Rosalie asks.

Noah smiles, “Okay Nana.”

After grocery shopping, she visits the park sitting on the bench she expected Noah to go and play but is startled when the little one sit next to her with a book.

“Uh, uhm Noah are you not going to play?”

“No, I’ll read.”

“But it’s the park and there are kids?” She hints at.

“Yes, I’ll play soon.” Noah said.

Rosalie sighs is she not cut out for this? Maybe she is doing something wrong? What should she do?

Hearing the sighs, Noah is reminded of his mother then smiles. “Hey grandma, what was mama like at my age?”

Rosalie thinks the gave a sad smile, “he was a darling, Noah when your grandfather and I first got married we dreamed of a big family with four kids! We had save up plenty and worked on a house with enough rooms, we had everything it was all in a plan.” Rosalie smiles happily.

She remembers, young and hopeful they were the idea that their family will rule the world she remembers having many passionate nights with her husband only for the end of the month to be met with disappointment. Seeking answers they went to the doctor only to be met with the news of poor fertility, IVF, treatments and many others Finally pregnancy came but sadly the joy they had was robbed.

Often times she wonders why her husband hasn’t left, but it’s with or without kids he’d stay because he loves her. But then Sihan happened.

“Your mother, was a sweet yet sickly child. He was a bit mischievous like every other baby, but he is a baby. My baby.”

Noah smiles happily he closes the book then gets up, “I’ll go play now.” He raises his arms towards her.

Confuse Rosalie lower herself he hugs her kissing her cheek before going off to play, he doesn’t like to play but hey got to keep up the act for grandma.

Rosalie heart softens her sweet grandchild, she remembers at time when Sihan runs out into the park after coming from the hospital she takes out a picture from her purse remember her boy.

“When I grow up, I’m gonna take lots of pictures!”

Sihan was in his bakery, his body on high alert he was prepared for anything. The bell rings as his body tensed up but he released seeing it was Arian, he tilts his head looking at the little looking before looking at him.

“Good evening, may I see Noah.” Arian asks nicely.

Sihan tilts his head, “sorry Arian but Noah is at his grandparents.”

Arian looks away disappointed, “well can I have some muffins and juice please.”

He takes out some money from his pocket offering it to Sihan who smiles, “no need, you’re Noah’s friend, go and sit I’ll be with you at a moment.” Noah chuckles.

Arian went and sit at the table, what do he do now. He takes out some books he had them to give to Noah.

Soon the doorbell rings Sihan who was coming with the muffins saw lady stomping in hurry.

“Ariannae! Arian!”

Arian was startled she found him quickly, she grabs his hand snatching him from the chair.

“Why didn’t you go with your driver!” She asks. “Why can’t you act like a child?!”

Sihan is by the she is grabbing the child’s arm it looks painful, “excuse me, miss–”

“Who are you? Do you just allow random children without parental guardian to enter this place?” She asks harshly.

“He is a—”

“know what? Never mind, come on Arian.” She said tugging him.

“Wait muffins,” Arian said.

“No, let’s go. You have piano lessons.”

Arian sighs waving goodbye to Sihan, who looks concerned for him.
