I'm Not a Man

I'm Not a Man
Chapter 23



Mika just shook her head, answering what I said. There was not a single answer Mika gave.


It made it impossible for me to ask the girl a second time. I couldn't possibly urge him to answer my question.


At lunchtime, Mika rushed to leave me. He said he would eat with his girlfriend Mulya.


There is jealousy going through my heart right now. I felt angry when Mika was close to Mulya. Mulya is nothing to me.


"Young master, you were called by a big boss for his room" my papa's personal assistant said.


"Yes, I'll be there in a moment" I said, as I laid out the paper on the table.


I let out a heavy breath, as I reached the door of this sizable, tightly shut room.


It's heavy for my feet to step inside. Because I don't like meeting papa.


In addition to the fear of my disguise being exposed, I also felt heartache when I heard papa's voice, let alone the voice, his name alone had made me hurt.


I knocked on the door of the room that was tightly closed. Heavy and very slow.


"Lake in!" said someone with a heavy voice.


I opened the door very carefully.


"Sorry pa, why call me here?" I said when I went inside.


"Yes, please sit down."


"Oh yes" I said as I sat on one of the sofas.


Papa got up from his seat, he sat not far from me in the row of sofas available in this room.


"Papa wants to talk about the company with you Nino."


"Just tell me, what can I do for you."


"Mr ...." Papa's words came to a halt when someone knocked on papa's office door.


"Mas, I came specially to accompany you to lunch," said a voice that sounded extremely spoiled.


Papa's young wife came in with her distinctive style that made me very disgusted when I saw her.


She is much younger than my mom. He captivated papa in a disgusting way.


"Nino, next time we'll talk about what you wanted to talk about. Your mother has come" said papa.


"I'll excuse you" I said as I walked quickly out of the room.


"Hey, Nino, aren't you having lunch with your papa?" the woman said quickly.


"So, I eat in the cafeteria. I'm not used to eating food from home" I said, continuing my footsteps.


"Mama you're right Nino, let's eat together with papa," said papa follow along.


"No, I don't usually eat from home. Besides my mom's cooking, I can eat. Because I have a history of skin that is very sensitive to food," I said lying.


I knew that lying was a sin, but I had no other way that I could escape this disgusting atmosphere.


How to eat together, just looking at his face made me feel so disgusted.


I rushed back to my work shirt. This stomach hurts a lot, because I haven't had breakfast this morning.


"Geez, it doesn't feel good to be alone here. I really hope that Ryan can get into the office as soon as possible. So I have a friend, not like this time. I am alone, without friends" I said in my heart.


"Sir Nino, here I bring food for kaka," said Mika while carrying a bouquet of black plastic.


"What's that?"


"This is food for sister Nino, I know that sister Nino did not have time to go out to eat, so I brought it for sister."


"Thank you Mika, but there's no need. I'm full already."


"Sister Nino eat what the hell can be full? Isn't that why it didn't come out at all?"


"I've eaten at home before leaving, you don't bother to pay attention to me anyway."
