The Most Valuable Treasure is Family
When Lika opened the door of her house, she saw Grandma and her sister were having a serious conversation in the living room.
Slowly Lika approached them and started sitting on the sofa.
"Sorry I just got home..." Lika said stop their conversation.
"Sister.I've graduated from SMU, I plan to go to college in Jogja, but Grandma does not agree.ayo persuaded Grandma..." Rajuk Lia suddenly.
"Grandmother does not disagree, but who will you live with? Although Jogja is Grandma's hometown, but still grandma worried about you..." Sergey Grandma.
"Wait.wait... Lia... Did you take the college entrance exam?" Ask Lika.
"Sister.kakak not only do not know.sibuk continue anyway with endless love adventure..." Said Lia.
"Hush..don't talk carelessly about you...!" Hardik Granny.
"Lia..we are only three, if you go to college there, and cost there, Grandma will only live alone with Brother..." Lika.
"Makanya.. brother dong quickly married, so many..and Grandma also would be happy..." Cetus Lia's.
"Lia...you think getting married is as easy as turning your palm?"
"What are you waiting for? Lika's sister already has a candidate..." Said Lia. Lika rounded her eyes.
"Who do you call that candidate?"
"Sir Ricky..." Answer Lia.
"Forgot that.don't you say that again.he's not my candidate.you know Lia..At this time he's with his ex-wife...but they were once a family.and in that case I'm the one who has to step down..." Lika.
For a moment the three fell silent with their respective thoughts. Grandma seemed to take a long breath.
"So what's your plan?" Ask Grandma.
"We are also one family.if Lia wants to study in Jogja.we must support.I and Grandma will join Lia living in Jogja..." Firm Lika.
Grandma and Lia looked at each other.
"Sister? Didn't you say wrong? We just moved in here .. Does our cooking want to move again?" Ask Lia.
"You remember Lia.. This house Mr. Ricky paid for it. So it's not really ours.even the compensation money for eviction of the old house is still in our hands...." Obviously Lika.
"Then.what about sister's job?"
"I'm going to submit my resignation.maybe it's better.remember I once got a warning letter from the principal..."
"But brother..it's not an attempt by brother right to avoid Mr Ricky?" Ask Lia. Lika gasped at Lia's question.
"What do you mean?"
"Sister don't pretend to be tough in front of us.I and Grandma already know how you feel..."
"Lia...Grannies....Family is our precious treasure.I only have you guys.so does Sarah...without family we wouldn't be strong enough to get through life..."
"They...Grandma hopes you can find your happiness.that's just Grandma's hope.if indeed you have decided to move to Jogja, Grandma will support...Grandma doesn't want to part with Grandma's grandkids either..." Grandma said as she hugged Lika and Lia.
"Sorry Lika ya Nek..becould not love happiness for Grandma..yet can not find the man that Grandma expected.maaf Nek..." Lika's cry in Grandma's arms.
"Don't say that Lika....Grandma understands your current position..."
************
That night, after dinner together, Lika, Lia and Grandma went into their respective rooms.
Grandma usually sleeps early, Lia is engrossed in front of her laptop, while Lika tidy up the books on her desk.
The time showed at 8:30 pm, still late afternoon for some people, after finishing with the activity, Lika began to lay her body.
As he was stunned by the sight of his phone, there were 7 missed calls, unknown numbers again appeared, he was reminded of Bella, but hurriedly brushed it off, Bella even said goodbye to him.
A while Lika thought, suddenly her phone rang again, quickly Lika picked up her phone.
"Hello...Ms..this is Kezia..." It turns out Kezia's voice was over.
"Oh...Kezia...mom guess who..what's the matter, son?"
"Papa..do not come out of the room Mama..aku and Nando hungry Mom.. later wait here..." Kezia.
"Where are you guys now?"
"I'm in the same lobby as Nando.it's borrowed a nurse's phone..."
"Well, you wait there.mom come bring food for you guys.do not go anywhere!" Lika's Message. Then he hung up.
As fast as lightning, Lika snatched her jacket and helmet, then she came out carrying her motorcycle towards the hospital.
On the way, Lika stopped in front of a grilled chicken shop, next to the shop there was a minimarket. Lika immediately parked her motorbike in front of the shop.
Lika ordered 2 packs of grilled chicken with rice, suddenly she remembered Ricky, maybe he had not eaten either. Finally Lika ordered another pack for Ricky.
After she finished, Lika stopped by the mini market next to the store, she bought some bottles of mineral water and milk, as well as some bread and cakes. After paying her, Lika continued her journey to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital lobby, Lika sees Kezia still sitting there waiting for her, while Nando is seen sleeping in a long chair with his head on Kezia's lap.
Slowly, Lika approached the two children.
"Kezia..." Calling Lika softly, Kezia turned her head, her face looking tired.
"Mom.lucky mother came..." Kezia said with sparkling eyes.
"You're hungry, son.nih, I brought a lot of food.Bangunin Nando for a while. eat first.."
Kezia wakes Nando up from his sleep, after Nando wakes up, he opens his eyes and smiles when Lika is in front of him.
"Bu Lika kok new Dateng.here I'm tired Mom..." Complain Nando.
"Children like you should not be in the hospital..Have you eaten first...today you just go to the place of the mother.....or want the mother to take you home? Marni's mom is home, right?" Ask Lika.
"There's Ma'am.but I just called home not picked up as Mar..." Kezia chewed his food.
When Lika accompanied Kezia and Nando ate in the lobby, suddenly Ricky was already standing in front of him, his face looked tangled.
"Sir Ricky...how is Sarah's condition...?"
"So he had time Anfal again.now he was resting.Doctors have given him a sedative..." Said Ricky flat while inching to sit next to Lika.
"Mom Lika...Papa hasn't eaten since..." Cetus Nando plain.
"Just calm...Ms. Lika has also bought Papa some food..." Lika replied while giving a package of food to Ricky.
"Lika..trhank you.you remember me.tanpamu, I don't know how my children's fate..." Ricky said as he looked into Lika's eyes. Lika turned her face slowly.
"Already, sir. now eat first, fill your stomach so you still have the energy to take care of your wife..."
"Former wife.not wife..." Hardcore Ricky.
"But she's still Mama of Kezia and Nando right..." Lika.
"Even the children are abandoned because of me. I am the most stupid person!" Sorry Ricky.
"While the children let me take care of it.pak Ricky just focus on the same mbak Sarah.don't worry..again they are already on vacation..." Holiday Lika.
"Thank you Lika.I leave while my children.I trust you.you can stay in my house.there is Marni Ma'am who will help you..." Ricky.
"Oh.no.let them stay at my place..." Sergey Lika.
"But all their equipment and clothes are at home.You do not hesitate, let's just say my house is your home too.I will definitely be happy..." Ricky.
Lika was silent, inevitably she had to go to Ricky's house tonight, even though she only took clothes and supplies.
'I have always been attached to these two children.How am I going to leave them to Jogja? Until this moment they still need me...' Mumbled Lika in the heart.
