I'm Not a Man

Chapter 2

In this country, I am known as Nino. Nino is a boy's name to me. My mom always called that name when I was with me. No one knew I was a girl, except my mom and myself.

Mama said, if I want to survive and also want to save mama. So I do not be careless, because my mother has sacrificed a lot during this time.

Maybe you're right, if you want to save yourself and your loved ones. We must sacrifice the happiness we desire.

The proof alone, mama happily gave up the luxury she had just to save me. How can I disappoint my mother. I would do anything for my mom, to make her happy. Including, lying to the world, with what is hidden behind this man's clothes. It was also good to save me from the men.

.......

Faster than I expected, it turned out, papa asked us to come home sooner. I thought my mom would reject it, but as it turned out, she proudly agreed to my request to take me home.

We are also back in the water now. I just brought some stuff I needed. Obviously, all the stuff I brought were men's stuff. Not a single dress I brought.

I intend, not to settle in the homeland. Because I don't want to be involved in the world of papa's treasure struggle with my stepmother who is in the country. If it wasn't for the sake of mama, Aki probably wouldn't want to go home to this land. Eh, this is also not my homeland, I was born not here right? I was born abroad.

"Nino, this is your real fight. The training is done now, son," said the mother as she and I reached the airport.

"Mama" I said anxiously.

"Mom sure, you can take what is rightfully yours. Enough of you getting your papa company on your behalf, then you will be free to be yourself" said the mother, holding my hand.

"Mommy's son will succeed. Don't disappoint Mama Nino, because she believes in you. You can definitely release your mama from your papa, if you get your papa company."

"Is it that easy, ma?" I said carefully.

"Yes, if you do it seriously. Then everything will be so easy."

"Alright, just pray that I succeed mama."

My mom smiled when she heard what I said. No matter what you think, I still feel afraid to fight in this struggle for wealth.

For me, it's not as simple as what Mom thinks. This was even more difficult than the usurpation of the throne in the past. That's for me, because I've never felt how to live in the past.

My mom and I got off the plane. We've been waiting for someone with a welcome that I've never really expressed.

Papa's entourage and his men, it was so enthusiastic to see me reach the homeland. They welcomed me very politely and looked very loyal.

I know which is my papa, because I often communicate via mobile phone with papa while abroad. Papa never left his company, but he always contacted me to know how my mother and I were doing.
