He's Not The Best

He's Not The Best
39. Thank You Yes


Thank You Yes


 


Anas was astonished to hear the words of Winsi who was so straightforward and showed the innocence of a child, but felt very risky. His brain thought about how the life Runa lived so far when everything he said was true.


‘Actually what happened to that family?’ inner Anas.


So washed away the man in his mind that he did not realize that Erlan was standing between them, the teenager shouted to Winsi because she was worried about him.


The gardener of the mansion was still thinking about Runa while looking at Winsi with a look of disbelief. He concluded that Basri had never recognized the little girl as his flesh and blood.


Anas moved his head because, it felt incredulous and strange if Runa became an unfaithful woman. She knows Runa as a good, hardworking housewife. Their grandfather was from the same town, Tasikmalaya. It quickly made them familiar.


During his stay at the house, Runa was very careful in taking care of herself and her company. So, it is impossible if Winsi is not the biological child of her husband.


“Mang, Anas! Urinate Ismi there!” erlan said that successfully breaking the clump of thoughts in the man's brain about Runa.


Instantly Anas was aghast and quickly turned to Erlan with a shy smile, his facial expression was like a thief caught doing his act in someone's house. She knew that as a domestic assistant, she could not disrupt the life of the woman who protected her employer when, she was very curious.


“But, Ismi already I feed, Den,” refutes Anas calmly, he still wants to be there to ask some things to Runa's daughter.


“ Time, anyway? How does she cry?” sahut Erlan's.


Anas looked away, he realized Erlan's wits were trying to drive him away in subtle ways to take care of his beloved little ape. Yes, the teenager kept a small, white-haired ape, who sometimes made a sound like one crying when he was hungry.


“Iya, Den. I feed now ... Just say you both want to be with Neng Win, use tell me to eat Ismi all. Reason ..” said Anas while thieving because he knew the desire of Erlan who wanted to chat with Provinsi.


“Ck! Go there! Hus ... Hus!” Erlan flicked her hand she intended to jokingly chase Anas away in a way like driving a chicken out of the house.


“Win, you're fine right?” erlan asked after the passing of Anas. He ventured to ask because seeing the bingsi did not reject his presence. The girl's face looked ordinary and her eyes were flat, not fierce or showing hostility like the previous days


Winsi did not answer Erlan's question, he took a deep breath and sat down on the grass. Erlan followed him and sat next to the girl who was tidying up the hijab then, she looked up at the sky that was starting to twilight. The two of them enjoyed the calm atmosphere up there, a boundless space that reflected the sunlight gently.


A moment later Winsi turned to Erlan and smiled making the man stunned for a moment but, immediately able to control himself.


“I'm good, are you worried about me?” winsi said flatly without expression.


“Ya.” Erlan said honestly he did not want to disappoint Winsi by saying bad things. Because, since the incident of the closed room door Arkan advised him not to be negative on anything in front of this girl.


Erlan returned Winsi's smile, the girl looking furrowed her brows as if looking for honesty on her face. He knew that the girl did not believe him at all. In fact, Erlan was really worried about him.


“If you are how, are you also good? Ah ... I shouldn't have the money, right, people like you have everything, surely your life is fine there is never a problem.” Winsi said as he looked away and chuckled as if laughing at himself.


He thought Erlan was just trying to please him and it was free! It is impossible that the teenager who always called him Buluk Son had genuine concern for him. Winsi's words made Erlan's mouth unable to speak.


It seemed that Winsi revealed the contents of his heart so that Erlan only smiled in response because, in fact, he just did not have something very valuable that is the love of a mother but the Girl ignored him.


‘Did she all this time at home not be able to see me living without a mother? So who says I have everything and don't have a problem Just be right!’


“Lan, Thank you huh?”


“For what I don't give you anything!”


“But, if I didn't know you maybe I wouldn't know about Anas!”


“Anas? Mang Anas you mean? So, is he really the one you're looking for?”


“Actually, What is your relationship with the person whose name is Anas?”


“I don't know, but, said Father, Anas it's my Father.”


“What?” Erlan was so surprised, then went back to talking, “ So, you're not Om Basri's son, are you?”


Winsi shook his head in a gesture that showed an ambiguous meaning to Erlan, whether from the headband, it meant not knowing or not.


“Thank you, yes, Lan!” wasi said without answering Erlan's question. His heart felt a little relieved, after saying all the burdens he had borne himself, to others


Winsi was indeed a little relieved after talking to Anas, but there was still curiosity in his heart about the name. He hated this kind of curiosity.


‘You think my life is easy with the nickname bastard?’ inner Winsi looked away as she caught Erlan's change in look.


The man seemed to frown so deeply as to think over what Winsi had just said, he knew that Erlan might be curious to death.


With a heavy heart, Winsi finally told the incident where a misunderstanding occurred so that Basri then thought that he was not his biological child


After hearing everything Erlan rubbed his face repeatedly with his palm. He did not expect that there was still another sad story other than the violence and cruelty Basri had given his daughter.


So this is what makes Winsy naturally have a quiet, low self-esteem or inferior nature. However, in some ways he showed more mature attitude than his actual age.


“Lan, you know why I told you?”


“Hm ... Hmm ...” Erlan muttered while shaking her head.


“You already know, right, about what happened in prison? So, I think it doesn't matter if you also know everything about me especially if you also already know how my Father behaves. Yes, right?”


Erlan was actually trying to cover up if he had known about the incident in the prison at that time, just that his facial expression could not do it until Winsi could easily find out.


“It's a shame yes, I just hope you don't hate me but, if you hate it also doesn't matter, because I'm self-conscious, kok!”


From the girl's words, it could be measured how badly and in her soul was injured.


“I don't hate you, Win,” says Erlan.


“Oh, yes? Thank you then,” said Winsi as she stood up and patted the back of her body, in order to clean the clothes from the rest of the grass and soil attached. Then, he moved away from Erlan yet, a step later he turned his body back.


“Oh, yes .. about school travel money ... You used to say that money was given to me?”


Hearing that question Erlan fell silent again as she only realized, after hearing the story of Winsi, the moment she delivered him to the prison. It is natural that this girl does not enjoy her money because it may have been abused by her Basri—bapak.


Provinsi again saw the change in the look on Erlan's face, he smiled a little and then said, “Thank you you've been good with me Mother and my Father.”


After saying so, Winsi actually stepped up leaving Erlan who was still digesting her thanks.


‘He should be angry, right, is he willing if it turns out his father has taken his rights? Astaghfirullah’ murmured Erlan while continuing to look at Winsi's moving back leaving her away.


It is true what was mumbled in Erlan's heart that, Winsi had indeed given up the money that should have been his right because there was no use, bringing up the shameful thing back while his father would never want to admit.
