Last Port

[POV Ricky] Meet with Bayu

After a struggle to get a blood donor, Nando can be saved. A few days he was in the hospital, when his condition improved, I took him home.

I know Nando is not my flesh and blood, but this child is not wrong, he was born without sin, and I love him, just as I love Kezia.

Since the revelation of the matter of Nando who is not my son, Sarah's attitude increasingly dominates Lela, now she has dared to go without my permission, and often come home drunk at night.

I know she was frustrated, Martin she loved left her, now Sarah's completely broken, and I can't just divorce her, she said, because I feel sorry for my children who still desperately need the love of their mother.

Until at the end when Kezia was 4th grade Elementary School, while Nando Still Kindergarten, The big storm came, Martin came again, this time he blatantly came to my house, and, when the kids are at school.

Sarah looked happy to see Martin coming, I was immediately angry, and at that time I threw him out of my house...

I don't think she's leaving, because her kids are still here, in this house. Turns out I was wrong, Sarah decided to go with Martin, leaving me and my two children behind.

My heart was broken as broken. Then I divorced her and she agreed. We're officially divorced, and I'm willing to let Sarah go with Martin.

"Papa....Where is mama? Why not go home?" Kezia said one day.

"Mama's gone, baby.don't think about Mama again...You can be a mom too..." I am comforting them.

"Why can you turn into a mom?" Ask plain Nando.

"Yes dear...Papa can cook.can wash dishes and wash clothes.from now on we will only live three..." I took both my children.

Because of my work, as well as my expanding projects, I was so overwhelmed with taking care of my children that I had to review one project out of town, I had to leave Kezia and Nando with my baby sitter.

One day I left them, Kezia called me.

"Papa.aku and Nando are hungry.we are not fed..huuu.." Crying Kezia. I was so panicked.

"Why are you hungry? Where's sister? Where's Auntie?" I'm anxious.

"Suster went with Bibi..until now do not go home.huuu.....huuu" Tangis Kezia.

I went right back then without caring about my business and my new project, my mind was completely muddled.

When I got home, a heart-wrenching sight was before my eyes.

Kezia ate the leftovers yesterday, Nando also drank the stale packaged milk. They're very concerned.

After I investigated, Baby sitter and my housekeeper worked together to rob my house, all my valuables were lost, even Sarah's clothes were left behind. Fortunately, they did not kidnap my children.

From that moment on, I didn't trust anyone, I was so traumatized considering the children who were victims. I hugged my two children tightly.

"Kezia's....Nando..from now on Papa will take care and protect you.Do not believe in anyone in this world but Papa..." I'm lirih.

"Yes Pa..." Answer them simultaneously.

"You are the only treasure that Papa has right now..." Whisper me while kissing my two children.

"Papa...Mama where??"

This is the question that my children always ask. I was confused to answer it myself. Poor them to be victims of parental divorce.

***********

I only live three with my children, I can no longer just leave them, I have to find the person I believe to be my right hand.

From that moment on, I gave up all my projects for him to handle, I only controlled them from afar, because he worked with me, there was significant progress in his life, I was helped, I was helped, he also advanced in terms of economics.

"Thank you Mr. Ricky for his trust in me. I'll do my best..." Sayu said at the time I gave up the project in Sumatra for her to handle.

"You take it easy.Show me what you can do to progress my project..." My solute.

"Relax sir.I can count on..." He said with confidence.

"Well, right now I want to focus on my two children.." My speech.

"Relax sir..trust all to me..."

"Woodu..are you married?" My toot.

"Actually I was engaged to a teacher, but it seems like when my economy started to advance, my parents even betrothed me to another girl..." Sayu said, I laughed when I heard it.

"Haha....Bayu....Bayu.I remind you, never play with a woman's heart, whatever her profession.later you will get her karma..." I advise.

"Well, I actually love that girl, but well.maybe the profession is not appropriate.now even I was in a match with a secretary in a large company, he said, I don't know why my parents are proud to have a secretary's daughter-in-law..." Continue Bayu.

I patted her shoulder gently, Bayu was very young, in terms of romance even she looked so unstable, unable to firmly make a decision. But breaking up a relationship just because of a matter of profession, it was a strange thing for me.

Since my project was handled by Bayu, I was a little able to breathe a sigh of relief, the boy was reliable.

**********

As a single parent, honestly I am very troubled to take care of my two young children.

"Papa..I want to be braided in two like my friend Cika.please dong Pa..." Kezia said while carrying a comb and hair rubber.

I'm confused how to braid hair, if there used to be Sarah who always braided Kezia's long hair.

"Kezia.Hair in pigtails only one yes...Papa can't braid Kezia's hair yet..." My answer.

"Huh.papa lie dong.he said Papa could be Mama.pasa can not braid my hair..." Kezia.

Finally I tried to braid her hair despite many times failing.

Busy trying to braid Kezia's hair, I didn't realize the eggs I fried had been burnt, there was a smell of charred stuff on our noses.

"Papa...What smell is this??" Said Nando trying to wear his own shoes.

I ran straight to the kitchen, sure enough, the whole frying pan was charred with no leftovers. Thankfully not a fire.

"Well.keep eating what dong..." Complain Nando.

"Relax baby.later we buy the most delicious bread in the bakery..all supplies for you to school..."

"His papa isn't good!!" Cetus Kezia's.

"Yes dear sorry.tomorrow Papa learn again.now we leave yuk..later you are late..." I kissed my two children.
