Last Port

[POV Ricky] Losing Lover

Since Sarah's presence with such condition, I feel Lika my lover is trying to stay away from me, except for the affairs of the children.

I know he has sacrificed a lot, a victim of time, a victim of energy, a victim of feelings.

I was kind of stuck in this situation, on the other hand my children still looked at Sarah as their mother, so I couldn't just leave her, but on the other side, I've been in a relationship with Lika, who has now become the lover of my heart and I love her very much.

When my heart was so upset and in a dilemma, Lika came to cool my heart with her gentle words.

Looks like Sarah was expecting me to come back to her, that's impossible, even with the children's reason. In my heart there is no more love for her.

Maybe Lika knew Sarah was expecting me to come back to her, so she persuaded me several times to talk to Sarah, the least I could do, she left us, now that he's down he wants to come back to me. Nah!

That day, the day that Sarah had surgery to remove the uterus, Lika also waited for her. I don't know why this heart doesn't want to be far from him.

I asked him to sleep on his lap, I wanted to be loved and held, showing him that in this heart there was only one name, and he was the only one I loved right now.

Lika did what I asked, she stroked my hair as I lay on her lap, even she traced every curve of my face with her fingers, as if admiring my good looks. My heart is comfortable and warm, he seems to love me very much.

But as it turned out, it was the last caress, my premonition was strong, it seemed like she was going to leave me and the children behind. I tried to shake off that bad feeling. I couldn't bear it if I had to lose him, the person I really love and I sure love me too.

After Sarah's operation was successful, Lika approached me and asked me to bring her home, because she was sure Sarah would be cured, and the children would be happy.

"No. He's nobody..." My daughter tried to refuse his request.

"You forgot? She's the Mama of your children.learn to take her back sir..." Lika tried to convince me.

"I can't..."

"It must be.you're Sarah's hope at this time..." Lika let go of my hand.

"Of course..."

I tried to hold her back, I was really afraid of losing her, but when Lika pushed me closer to Sarah, Sarah started to open her eyes. I was determined that tomorrow I would meet him, my decision was made, I would return Sarah to her parents and quickly marry Lika.

Sarah begged me to stay with me and the kids, she wanted to come back to me. I told Sarah that in my heart she was no longer there, but she didn't seem to care about me, she only cared about herself.

Sarah has made both me and Lika hurt, because of her thorn-like presence in the flesh in my relationship with my sweet teacher

That night, I left Sarah to Mbok Narti, a housekeeper of Lika's choice, to look after Sarah. I can't keep dealing with Sarah who I think is very selfish.

Sarah was crying when I was leaving her with the kids. But I don't care, I've sacrificed enough all this time.

**********

I woke up earlier than usual that morning. I want to cook fried rice for my children as well for my lover Lika, today I intend to go to her house, ask for Grandma's blessing and propose to my beloved girl.

The children also look enthusiastic, I feel they love their teacher more than just students to teachers, but dear to the mother, my children have started to consider Lika as their mother.

I excitedly did my car drive to his house.

The house looked very quiet, I parked my car and started to get into the yard, it was very quiet, I opened the front door, it was unlocked.

How surprised I was when I saw the house, everything was empty, only large items were still left behind, even Lika's motorbike was no longer there.

I called her name out loud, I wasn't ready to lose her yet, I felt half my soul go with her. I'm limp with no energy. Lika my lover left me.

"Papa...Where is Miss Lika?" Ask Nando.

I can't answer the question. My heart is completely broken.

"Papa..why is this house empty? Where's Lika's mom going?" Kezia asked who was crying too.

"Let's go find Ms. Lika Pa...." Rajuk Kezia's.

I understand my children love him very much, they are just like me who lost his figure, but it is too late, my lover has gone somewhere, both times I was left to go by women.

But I'm sure Lika left me not because of another man, she just sacrificed herself and her deep love for me. But she was unconscious, with her disappearance leaving me and my children injured.

"Let's find Bu Lika Pa .. he said Papa dear to Bu Lika..." Cetus Kezia while pulling my hand so that I would get up immediately.

"Papa love Bu Lika, Papa loves Bu Lika....Papa knows right now Miss Lika is trying to get away from us..." I said while wiping my eyes.

Finally I returned home with broken feelings, what does it mean to live without the sweet teacher?

In front of the gate, I saw a motorbike Bayu parked, tumben once he came to my house, usually he only works in the field or monitor the project only.

"The late Mr. Ricky.It turns out Mr. Ricky just came home.I think it's home..." Sapa Bayu's.

"What are you looking for me for?" I asked flat on him. I don't want my grief to be known to him.

"I want to return the key to this house, someone sent it home yesterday.said you lent your house.You're so good Mr. Ricky.even people who do not have a house you are willing to lend it..." Seloroh Bayu's.

"Shut your mouth!!" I cried while taking the keys of the house from Bayu's hand.

Bayu looked at me astonished, maybe at that time I was emotional. Finally he left me.

That day I had no appetite, I locked myself in my room. The children I gave to Mbok Narti who just came home from the hospital, I asked him to take care of my children.

In the room I was just contemplating and crying, maybe I was a whiny, whiny man for having lost love, lost a lover.

Until the night I did not go out, I refused every time Mbok Narti brought me food, I did not lock the door of my room, so that my children did not worry about me.

It was late that night, the children might have gone to sleep, I still could not close my eyes, Lika's shadow seemed to control my heart and mind.

I heard the sound of footsteps, I turned my head, it turned out Mbok Narti came with a glass of warm milk.

Warm milk? All this time it was Lika who always gave me warm milk when I was uncomfortable.

"His warm milk at first drink sir.so that you calm down..." Mbok Narti. Just like Lika said.

"Say who told you to make warm milk for me?" My toot.

"No sir.I made it myself..." Answer Mbok Narti. I breathed a disappointed breath.

After Mbok Narti came out of my room, I immediately took the warm milk and gulped it down.
