I'm Not a Man

Chapter 5

My stepmother left me and my mother in this room. I just kept quiet and watched her leave.

Geez, I haven't been here one day. There was a problem that came to me and my mom.

"Well, don't you think about me?" I said very worriedly.

"Mama is not papa Nino. Why are you making trouble with Marisa. Don't make our lives a danger to Nino" said Mama anxiously.

"Mama, I've never been in trouble with anyone. On the contrary, he's the one who's looking for trouble with me. He's the one who came to this villa when papa wasn't around. Then, make a scene in this villa."

"Nino, if he doesn't hurt mom and you. Then you better, don't mind what he's doing."

"Until when will you budge with the second woman. Doesn't he have no rights over papa. What you're afraid of," I said very upset.

"Nino, mama doesn't think to fight people who don't have to fight. Ingan what mama said, our goal is not Marisa, but your papa."

I didn't answer what Mom said. To me, my mother was too afraid of Marisa, so she didn't want to fight back. We should be quiet when others upset us. Remember, I'm not a man without anger. I am a woman, who always has high emotions. I think my mom forgot who I really was.

"Nino, listen to me. Avoid Marisa as much as possible. This is the biggest obstacle for us right now. Moreover, he is the son of a businessman who is always behind your father. Although his wealth is nothing to your father, he is very influential."

"Nino, you don't know what you're worried about. And you don't know what's going to happen next either. Mama doesn't want us to be fugitives as long as your papa's still the richest man in the country."

I don't want to argue with my mom anymore. Better, I go back to my room to rest there soon. Rather than arguing with my mom, I would never win against my mom.

"Yes, tomorrow we will discuss this. Nino is tired after the trip and the welcome by everyone here."

"Yes, take a break now and don't forget what you just told me" said Mama.

"Yes, I remember what my mom said. Excuse me, mama" I said as I walked away from my mother.

I came out of my mom's room. I left my mother's room, then headed to my room. I feel so tired after what I went through today. It's too heavy for me to go through. Just imagine, just came, already got a problem from the mistress Marisa papa.

I'd rather say my stepmom was a mistress, than my stepmom. Like, the mistress is more appropriate for the Marisa who jala*ng it. Compared to my papa's second wife.

Because as far as I know, Marisa was married to my mother, never got the blessing of mother as the first wife. It's the same as marrying Siri, isn't it? But because he is the son of a strong man beside papa, then he has a strong setatus also in the eyes of all.
