I'm Not a Man

Chapter 42

"Who said you don't have a home, Arina? As long as there is me, you will have everything you need. As long as I can, don't ask me for anything weird, like a falling cloud or a star in the sky, that's impossible."

"It's impossible that you're a witch" I said jokingly with Mulya.

"That's impossible."

"Why?" ask me while raising one eyebrow, out of curiosity.

"I don't want to be a witch. I want to be a prince in order to conquer the heart of a princess."

"Yoo, clever seduce also turns out you are yes."

"Slightly," said Mulya with a smile and shrubby approaching.

"Eee, you better think about where I live tonight" I said quickly.

Mulya canceled her intention to continue walking closer to me.

"Alina, when it comes to you staying, I have no problem providing you with what kind of home you want. But what I'm thinking, isn't about where you live tonight."

"Then?"

"I thought, can you help me to be a little patient again."

"Patience? Mean you?"

"We're going to unload the lies that your mama's been covering up in front of everyone. We'll also make your mama tell you who your parents really are. Don't you want to know who your real parents are?"

"Your mom won't answer it, if you ask at this time," Mulya said again.

What Mulya said was true. And I'm also very curious to know who my parents really are. If I ask you directly now, you won't answer.

"What plans do you have, I will come into play in the plans that you have laid out," I said steadily and firmly.

"Close, I'll whisper what I'm planning."

I did what Mulya said. Without a second thought, and without the slightest suspicion on what Mulya would do.

As I approached, Mulya instead of whispering something to me. But instead ....

Cwcn ....

With so much courage, Mulya kissed my cheek gently. I was shocked, but couldn't say anything. Can only be silent like a statue that is being displayed.

"Mulya!" I shouted very loudly.

Mulya was startled and immediately put some distance between me and her.

"I'm .. I'll tell you what the plan is. We'll talk in the car" Mulya said a little. Maybe he was surprised by my screams.

.....

Fortunately, I remember to put on the clothes of the man I had taken off when I wanted to meet Mulya at the cafe.

I walked into the house with a slightly tense and scared step. I could've gotten a scolding from a fake mama who just used me.

"Where are you from?" said the mother who was able to stop my footsteps who just wanted to enter the house.

"I ...."

"Choose the right excuse, so you don't let your mom down this time."

"I don't have a reason, I'm running around because I'm tired of being at home all day without friends. Mama's not home either, while Ryan's sister, he's busy working in the office."

"A preposterous excuse" said my mother as she walked over to me.

"I want to take a shower" I said, trying to get away from my mom.

"Don't be your brash son, Nino. Mama's not done talking, why go."

"I'm tired, ma. Let's talk later, I'll take a shower first."

"Nino!"

"What the hell is aunty, Nino? How did you guys fight again?" said Ryan's brother who suddenly came out of his room.

"Here, your sister is now very brash. Don't know manners and won't listen to what auntie says."

"I don't want to listen to you, brother. It's just, I'm feeling very sultry and tired. Let me take a shower, I can talk later."

"Tante, maybe Nino has a point. Let him take a shower first, we'll talk about what's going on" Ryan said.

"You are, same as Nino. It's a big boy, it's hard to appreciate parents" said the mother as she walked away from me and Ryan's sister.
