Last Port

[POV Ricky] Starts to Open Hearts

Since the new teacher's presence, my children's lives have changed, they are no longer moody and lacking in confidence, plus their achievements are seen to be increasing.

It was a little I used to expand my Business network, I began to spread my wings to several regions in Indonesia.

Until I got the title as the most successful young developer in that year, it added to my passion to continue working, which I will inherit for my two children.

Until there was an investor who offered me to open property in Papua, this was the farthest area of my project so far, but I did not want to waste this opportunity.

That morning while dropping off the kids at school, I'm allowed to leave town, because tomorrow is Saturday, the kids are off.

I deliberately keep a lot of food stocks at home, ranging from snacks, packaged milk and many more snacks. For basic food I will send through the online application, so that from a distance I can feed them.

"Papa go home don't be long..." Nando.

"No..This afternoon after you go home from school Papa left, tomorrow afternoon is back again.quickly no..." I tried to comfort them.

"Promise yes.other times weekend getaway to the mall with his family.we are both at home..." Nando's whistle again.

"Relax dear.later Papa will bring a lot of souvenirs...Kezia.keep your sister as long as Papa doesn't exist..." I said while looking at my daughter who had been silent since.

"Yes Pa..." Sahut.

Soon they arrived at school on time.

After picking up the children from school, then making sure they were safe at home, I rushed to the airport, I put my car in the airport parking lot.

It didn't take me long to get to Papua. It turned out that there I met a lot of important people, we held meetings at a hotel from afternoon until night, I was not aware my phone was left in my bag that I kept in the hotel room.

Because it was too exciting to talk about a new project, I just went into a hotel room almost 12 p.m.

I took my phone out of my bag, how shocked I was to see so many missed calls from my phone, calls from home so many times but I didn't respond, I cursed myself. I called back home immediately. But it seems like my phone was not picked up either, I started to get frustrated.

Finally, due to exhaustion with all work activities, I overslept, until the morning I again tried to call Kezia's phone, this time there is a connected tone, hopefully my phone picked up, and then I'll call, I was so worried.

"Hello...Kezia...What happened at the house?" I'm anxious.

"Nando's been sick all night Pa.. The rocks are so hot..." Kezia Sahut.

"Oh my God..sorry Papa Nak..now how is Nando's condition? Papa promised to come home soon..." My word.

"There is a teacher here Pa. all night I called him...The teacher took Nando to the doctor.and Nando was given medicine..." Story Kezia.

I gasped at it, it must be the new teacher, why would he be able to do that to my children?

"Kezia..His teacher's mother has gone home, right?" My toot.

"Not yet Pa...Nando and I prevented him from coming home.we want the teacher to stay the night...Papa don't be mad..."

"Huh? So your teacher's mother is staying at our house?"

"Yes Pa... Is that okay, right?"

I was pensive for a while, had there not been that teacher, I knew what had happened to my children.

At that time my mind was at home, thinking about my children and the new teacher...

Ah, why is that face so dancing in my mind, when she is an ordinary woman, her face is ordinary, but why do those shady eyes make my heart feel comfortable?

I grabbed my phone and booked the fastest flight. I immediately cleaned up my things and immediately left the hotel.

Fortunately at the airport there were no flight delays, so the journey was a little smoother, I was able to get home faster.

I can't wait to get home, hopefully the sweet teacher hasn't come home yet. Ah, why do I expect him now, what is special about him, even then I have upset him with my attitude.

The sun was already high when I got home, I immediately parked my car and rushed down from the car and went straight into my house.

Kezia seemed to come running to greet me.

"Where's Nando?" I ask impatiently.

"Nando sleeps in Pa's room.the night is hot, fortunately there is Miss Lika who brought Nando to the doctor, so it can be given medicine...Miss Lika also cooked for us this morning...." Story Kezia.

I looked up at the whole room of my house, everything was neat and clean, even the floor I stepped on now seemed to sparkle because it ran out in the mop. I see on the big dining table there are already many foods that smell good on my nose. My once dull house now looks like heaven, everything is beautiful and clean, was it the teacher who cleaned my mansion?

I took my foot to Nando's room, the boy was still asleep, and I hugged him and kissed his hair.

"Nando Papa's son..You're okay, son?" My whisper. Nando looked to open his eyes.

"Yes Pa..so I'm in masakin Bu Lika. continue in the drug bribe, he said I have to rest a lot to recover quickly..." Nando's Story.

"So Bu Lika who cleaned our house Pa...Papa see our house so neat and clean.so Papa do not need to be tired of cleaning the house and washing clothes..." Chirper Kezia.

I was stunned to hear my children's stories, even my mouth felt too faint to say anything.

"Sir Ricky.because you've come home, I beg you..." That teacher who was a little bit surprised me.

The sweet teacher immediately stepped out of Nando's room, I immediately followed behind him.

"Wait...!"

The teacher stopped and looked at me.

"I entrust my children to the Mother teacher.please.I believe in the mother teacher..if the mother pleases, I will gladly open my house to the mother teacher, whenever the children need...I really can't take care of them, even when Nando's sick I can't be by his side.I beg teacher..." I said as I clenched my hands in front of my chest the sign of supplication.

Why am I so weak before him, I have never begged anyone like this.

I resigned if this teacher would reject my request, I was ready mentally, considering that I had also been very jutek towards him.

But it turned out that my mind was wrong, those shady eyes were looking at me with a warm gaze of peace. I don't know why my heart beats so fast, which rarely happens to me.

With her sweet smile she nodded her head.
