He'S Not You
Chapter 11

" I thought, I'd forgotten the kids stopped by." Sitting with Lintang in the swing the children faced each other.

Lintang smiles, where maybe Lintang forgets the children stop by. The house he fought for for all of them, which also once adorned the emptiness of Lintang's heart, before any man entered to fill his life and left for ever without understanding how sick he was.

" How could I have forgotten. I'm sorry, if I never told you." Said Latitude, so calm and gentle.

Apologize to a man who is an adult and can be handled to take care of a halfway house without him now.

Yes, he is Ferdi. Where he used to be the first child to help Latang from the torture of thugs, and make Lintang want to have a home for street children and provide protection for them.

Together with Ferdi and Tina, Lintang is so eager to pursue what they want. Writing and being an English flim translator and learning self-taught in Korean, it was her job in high school. Relax staying up late and willing to sell necklaces and a pair of earrings from his mother for the sake of renting a house and starting the needs of street children first.

It's not easy indeed. But his perseverance and struggle to rise together, made Lintang sure. He can, surely can.

Living a kara, making Lintang understand the hard meaning of life and survive alone for a bite of rice.

It was a mischief, not because of the environment. But due to freedom, the pressure of divorce to two parents, and the anger that exists in Lintang just like that, it makes her a naughty and heartless girl.

" Mas Bimo, galuh, the same as Yasmin came here. They also said they were busy.. They rarely give news. But I'm grateful, Mas Bimo once said that I'm fine there." Terang Ferdi, smilingly looked at Lintang with teary eyes.

Ferdi's longing at Latitude is so great as the children who know Latitude. Kindness Lintang, care for him and give a house worthy of him shelter will never forget Ferdi. Lintang was already like an old man and an older brother to him. Only Lintang can protect her first, only teenage girls are willing to befriend her unconditionally. Only Lintang was very patient in taking care of him in the hospital, financing everything without asking for his return.

The cross is like an angel without wings.

Unable to repay Lintang's kindness until at any time, could only pray every time he missed Lintang. And pray that it's okay there.

" Hm.. They must be angry like you too, why else would I go home not to tell." Lintang smiled a little, imagining how Bimo and Galuh were angry because they did not give news of his return until it had been almost a month.

Yasmin who accidentally met him, was so angry and cried because of the return without any news. What was the reaction of his two friends? It will definitely be more angry.

Yeah, absolutely.

What's more Bimo, huh... His disappointment will exceed Yasmin's. Until now, he might be a chatty guy.

" Mr Latang hasn't told them yet?" Telisik Ferdi's. Can't believe what he heard.

Lintang shook his head. " I haven't told Bimo, same Galuh. But if Yasmin accidentally met at the supermarket, until she was angry at the sight of many people."

" That's right, Yasmin was angry. How about if Bimo mas same Galuh later." great-granddaughter Ferdi. Lintang just shrugged his shoulders, did not know how to meet them.

As the day progressed, Lintang took the time to chat with the children, joking together, eating together under the carpet mat and ordering so many snacks through online ojek for children to stop by, he said, they may rarely eat good food.

Being together with the children makes the Lintang heart a little light, seeing them grow properly makes Lintang happy. And his struggle was never in vain for the abandoned child.

" I'll go home first, it's for your needs." Pamit Lintang, give a white envelope containing money that has been prepared Lintang before going to the orphanage.

" The money that you send every month to our account is still there, why not give again?" Ferdi refused the gift of the latitude. Feeling that the money sent by Lintang through a special donor account has not been used at all.

Yes, even though the latitude never told the children stop by. But the latitude never broke making a donation to a halfway house every month. He will transfer through a halfway house account that he registered nine years ago.

" Take it, don't refuse. Not good." Forced Latitude. Making Ferdi exhale heavily and take it with force. Because he knows Latitude does not like to be rejected when the gift is so useful.

" Thank you mbak." Said Ferdi and Tina together. Lintang nodded with a smile, stepping with light feet towards the taxi that had been booked. And avenged the wave of hands from the children who delivered him to the front of the house.

Staring out the window, watching the rain that began to wet the road. Exhaling heavily when he did not expect to settle back in his hometown.

However Lintang tries to dodge, it will still return to its place. Nine years is not a short time for him to reconcile with his miserable past. He will live his life back where he came from. Without himself, someone accompanied.

Opening the bag, he took a piece of the photo he accidentally saw in the donor's living room. The photo, which was ten years before the man left, was taken in a school uniform with him, his three best friends and the smiling children who stopped in front of a halfway house.

The man who was beside her, smiled broadly at the camera while clutching his shoulder. The face is shady and cannot be forgotten. Shoulders that can make him lean when crying. A tranquilizing hug when the heart is in turmoil. And so patiently faced with his anger.

He who never desperately pursued her, he who never got angry with what he made, he who left a million fondest memories in his heart. And he kept his heart closed until now.

Longs...

Lintang. Missed everything that was on him, but he also hated to be left alone without being able to see his face again, without being able to reply to the words of love that hung on his lips.

Unknowingly tears trickled down her cheeks, ten years of never wanting to see all the memories with her again. These.. For the first time he saw the man's face in a piece of photo, to make him shed tears holding tightness in the chest.

" I miss you.. Satya."
