I'm Not a Man

I'm Not a Man
Chapter 52



Fifteen minutes, I'm waiting for Ryan's brother. Finally, this man came to see me too.


"I'm sorry, Alina. I've made you wait for old brother" said brother Ryan while sitting in one of the chairs.


"Sir, I don't have a problem."


"Oh yeah, what's so important, until you ask brother to come here?"


"Wuah, without further ado, at the core of it turns out," I joked a little, responding to what Mr. Ryan said.


"Well, because you know, if you're the one who doesn't like to beat around the bush, then, you ask immediately."


"Drink first brother," I said giving a pause.


"I want my sister to take me to see my mom. I want to ask my mother for my blessing" I said, taking my glass of orange juice.


When I heard what I said, brother Ryan choked in shock. He spilled the orange juice he had been drinking just now.


"Huk, uhuk."


"Lho, you can choke like that anyway. Hence, drink it slowly" I said, giving Ryan a tissue.


"Thank you."


"What the hell, when talking about mama, kaka always shows a different expression. What the hell is going on? Do you really hate me right now? So that brother doesn't want to take me to see mom."


"Your mom never hated you, Alina. In fact, even if you are not his biological child, he feels affection for you, as he loves his biological child. Because you've made a living aunt full of color."


Ryan opened his wallet, then pulled out a piece of white paper in his wallet.


"This is a letter from my mother, I hope you can read this letter carefully" Ryan said, stalling the letter to me.


"What is this letter, brother?"


"Read it, you'll know what it is."


Curiously, I opened this neatly folded paper. Then, I read the words written on this crest carefully.


I was stunned when I finished reading the neatly arranged writing on this white paper. Tears that I could not bear, continued to spill slowly, soaking my cheeks.


I turned this white paper over to make sure what was written on it was true. There, there is an address complete with the number of his house.


I turned my pandagan over to Ryan's sister. I want Ryan to explain again, what you mean has gone far from this world.


"What happened to Mama, brother Ryan?"


"Tante ... aunt is gone, Alina. Aunty is dead" said brother Ryan as he hugged my suddenly limp body as he listened to what brother Ryan said.


"No, brother Ryan must be lying to me, right? Mama must still be alive, sister? You must be kidding, right?"


"Prophe Alina, be patient. Brother knows it's heavy, but you have to be strong."


I can't hold my body anymore. All of a sudden, I felt my vision blurry and twitching.


It's too heavy for me to receive the news that Ryan's brother brought. I was no longer strong, my body was very limp and could not feel anything anymore.


Not what has happened. When I opened my eyes, I was already in my room with Mulya who was beside me.


"Mulya," I said calling Mulya in a heavy voice.


"Dear, what do you feel? What do you want now?" mulya asked with her mist.


"Nothing, I don't want anything. I just want to see my mom now. I want to see my mom. Take me to mama's place."


"All right, tomorrow we'll come to his grave. Today, you need to rest first. Let tomorrow be, you have the energy to walk to your mama's place."


"No, I want it now" I said with tears still spilling.


"Mulya, just follow what Alina wants. You can hold her body" said Ryan.


"All right, let's go now."
