Last Port

Nando's sorrow

Seeing Nando who was already standing before him, Lika spontaneously hugged the child tightly, Ricky also hugged Nando.

"Nando dear..daughter beloved mother with Papa..do not be sad again dear..." Lika. Then Lika and Ricky lead Nando to sit on Nando's bed.

"Papa...is Nando not Papa's son??" Nando asked as he looked at Ricky. Ricky's heart aches at getting such questions from a child he already considers to be his own.

"Nando is still Papa's son..." Ricky answered while stroking Nando's hair.

"Papa lied! That Om said that I'm not Papa's biological child...I'm Om's biological child..Is that so right Pa??" Nando asked again with probing eyes.

"Nando.. biologically Nando is indeed the son of Om Martin and Mama Sarah.but Papa Ricky remains Papa who took care of Nando all this time with affection..." Answer Ricky. He tried to speak a language that was easily digested by children the age of Nando.

"So it's true...Papa Ricky is not Papa Nando.huu...huuuu...." Nando cried out in a loud voice. Lika tried to calm him down.

"Nando's...Don't be sad baby.here everyone loves Nando..." Lika.

"No. I'm the kid who was dumped....Huuuu..i hate...huuu...." Nando crying. Ricky hugged the boy tightly, his eyes were also red holding back his tears.

"Nando.that's just the past baby.although Papa is not Papa Nando's birth.but Nando is still Papa's son..." Ricky was convincing.

"No.Papa will surely give me the same Om Martin.because Om told me to take me..huuuu.....he evil has thrown me away...jahaaaat....!!!!" Nando's crying is getting louder.

"Nando is still Papa's son! You hear that, son? it doesn't matter what anyone else wants to say...Nando is Papa's favorite son!" Ricky stood up and rushed out of the room.

Lika still hugged Nando while wiping away the child's tears, trying to calm him down.

Soon, Ricky returned with Given and a laminated piece of paper. Lika quickly picks up Given from Ricky's sling, then starts breastfeeding Given because the baby is crying.

"Nando look at this..." Ricky showed the piece of paper to Nando.

"This is the family card..try Nando read, is there Nando's name there?" Ask Ricky. Nando nodded his head.

"Nando now believes that Nando is Papa Ricky's son? That Nando is part of this family?" Ask Ricky again. Nando nodded his head.

"Now do not you doubt dear Papa to Nando.Sayang Papa to Nando is the same as dear Papa to Kak Kezia...." Obviously Ricky.

"But Pa...how about that Om come again??" Ask Nando.

"Nando don't be afraid.face it..." Answer Ricky.

"If she wants to take me away??" Ask Nando again.

Ricky was speechless, he was at a loss as to what to say. Martin also had the right to take care of Nando, because he was Nando's real father.

"Nando's...Nando's real father is Martin's father.he has the right to love Nando as well, to take care of Nando, if a lot of people love Nando..." Obviously Lika.

"But I don't want to part with Papa and Mother..huuuu...." Nando was crying again. Ricky immediately hugged the boy in his arms.

"Nando darling....Papa also really doesn't want to part with you...Papa will be as strong as possible to fight for Nando...Nando is still Papa's favorite child.Papa even willing to die for Nando.if it can make Nando happy..." Ricky. Nando hugged Ricky.

"Papa....I love Papa. Anyway papa Ricky is the best Papa for me. I don't want another Papa....!!!" Nando screams in Ricky's arms. Lika also cried to see the moment of Papa and the child.

The time has shown at 8pm, but Lika and Ricky are still in Nando's room, convincing the boy and giving him an explanation he can accept.

"Nando.you have not eaten dear.we go down to eat yuk..under your brother, Grandma and Aunt Lia have been waiting..." Said Lika.

"If Nando does not want to eat.mother also does not eat.if mother does not eat..." Answer Lika. Nando seemed to think.

"Eat Nando...Papa won't eat if Nando doesn't eat..." Added Ricky.

"Yes already.I want to eat..." Nando's voice finally. Then Lika and Ricky immediately guide Nando downstairs.

While downstairs, in the dining room, were already sitting Grandma, Lia, and Kezia. They all sat waiting with their own faces, watching Nando go down they all smiled.

"Let's do it here..sit near Brother!" Call Kezia while patting the chair beside her.

"Nando.later tonight Aunt Lia want to tell a fun story for Nando..wait Aunty yes..." Connect Lia.

"Nando..tomorrow Grandma what masakin? Grandma wants to cook ah.di accompany Mbok Narti..." Said Grandma chiming.

Lika and Ricky smiled at the treatment of the entire house. While Nando still lowered his face.

They finally had dinner together. That night Nando looks less appetite, usually this child is the most greedy when it comes to eating.

"Nando eats a lot.does mother need a bribe?" Ask Lika. Nando shook his head.

"Do.tomorrow we take a walk to the mall.in between Om Burhan.we play time zone as much as possible..." Kezia. Nando shook his head. Usually Nando is always enthusiastic if invited to the mall.

Finally dinner ended in a quiet atmosphere, they no longer know how to make Nando laugh cheerfully like before.

Krieg.....Kriy....Kriyinggg

The sound of the home phone shocked their silence, with Mbok Narti swiftly picking up the phone.

Mbok Narti appears to talk briefly to the caller, then he turns to Ricky, giving a code that the phone was aimed at him. Then Ricky immediately approached the telephone table located not far from the dining room.

"Hello...."

"Hey...Ricky...tomorrow I'll come again..be prepared.I'll pick up Nando..." Martin called.

"Shut up. Don't disturb my family!" Ricky almost whispered because he did not want his voice to be heard by the house people.

"I won't bother your family.I just want my son, Nando!"

"Why did you suddenly come to pick it up? Didn't you throw it away?" Ask Ricky.

"The whole story...!" Martin's Sahut.

"Well.before you come here.I want us to meet, talk to you..." Said Ricky.

"Okay...no problem...Where will we meet?"

"At the cafe near my house, I'll take my wife with me..." Ricky Sahut.

"Why should you take her?"

"Because my wife is also the mother of Nando!" Cetus Ricky, and then he hung up.
