Last Port

Preparation

Sarah opened her eyes, and at the sight of Ricky beside her, a smile rose from her pale lips.

"I'm happy when I open my eyes, I see you..." Sarah Pinta. Slowly Ricky approached Sarah, but remained in silence.

"You're sober?" Ask Ricky shimmily.

"Look at you I want to get well soon.I want us to be like we used to be with the kids..." Said Sarah.

"But we are not the same as we used to be.all have changed..after you have healed.I will take you to your parents' house.they will take care of you..." Ricky. There was a tinge of disappointment in Sarah's eyes.

"Why? Is there not even the slightest me in your heart? Even if just a little?" Said Sarah. His face looks sad.

"I'm sorry.but I have to be honest with my own feelings.Even since you left us.I tried hard to forget you.and now it works.but I won't abandon you..." Honest Ricky. Sarah's tears appeared on her cheeks.

"Yes.you are not wrong.I am wrong.even my arrival becomes a burden for you.sorry..." Said Sarah.

Then the door of the room opened, Kezia, Nando and mbok Narti entered slowly inside.

"Papa...Mama's healed?" Ask Kezia.

"Had..." Kezia approaches his mother followed by Nando.

"Ma.when to go home..." Nando.

"Honey..all the while the mama is also healthy..you are fine...oya, where is your teacher's mother?" Ask Sarah.

"Mother Lika has come home.So we met below..." Answer Kezia.

"Mbok Narti, I ask you to take care of Sarah tonight.For some time I do not take care of my work.I want to go to the office tomorrow, so today I and the children go home...don't worry.I'll give you enough money..." Ricky told Narti. Mbok Narti just nodded obediently, after all all Narti's clothes had also been brought since Lika picked him up yesterday.

"Yes sir.I will take care of you..." Answer mbok Narti obediently.

"Sarah.I went home first with the children.you quickly recovered..." Ricky said while holding his two children.

"You're really gonna leave me Ricky...?" Ask Sarah. Ricky nodded then immediately took Kezia and Nando away from the room. Sarah could only cry without being able to do anything.

While Lika had reached her home, she immediately approached Lia who was engrossed in front of her laptop screen.

"Lia...are you ready to go to Jogja?' Ask Lika.

"It's already my brother.but the departure is still a long time.I still want to enjoy the holidays here..." Sahut Lia's.

"We leave tonight yuk.ajak grandma also..later we find a house in rent first..new slowly looking for a house..." Take Lika. Lia was flabbergasted and rounded her eyes.

"Huh? Seriously, sister...What's wrong with you? why is it suddenly like this?" Asked Lia in great surprise.

"What I'm waiting for again.I'm not working here anymore.faster is better so that I can also quickly get a job there..."Answer Lika. Lia seems to think.

"What about our stuff?"

"We bring items as necessary, items that we do not need to love people only.again the furniture in this house is not all ours..." Obviously Lika.

"I have to say grandma first sister..."

"You take care of grandma and her preparations yes.I'm going to the marketing office to return the house keys. Anyway tonight we leave..faster better..."

*********

That afternoon in front of a marketing office, Lika parked her motorbike and stepped inside, the atmosphere in the place was already quiet and almost closed.

"Sore mbak..want to see who mbak?" Ask a receptionist who is ready to go home.

"Sorry mbak...jam oprational we have closed..pak Ricky has also not been here for a long time..or what if it is deposited in Pak Bayu only? He's right-hand man Ricky..." Obviously the receptionist.

"Sir Bayu...? Who's bayu is it...?" Ask Lika.

"Pak Bayu who takes care of this project.His right hand is Mr. Ricky.nah..." Point the receptionist at a man who just came out of the room. Lika looked towards him.

Degs...

"Wood!" Pekik Lika restrained. Turns out it was Bayu's former fiancee. Bayu who was looking towards him immediately approached him.

"Pak Bayu.this is someone who wants to leave the house keys..." Said the receptionist.

"Well.you can go home.leave us here..." Sayu. The receptionist immediately packed up and left them.

Lika was stunned to look at the man in front of her, again met with Bayu, Lika understood why Bayu was in this city, apparently he was Ricky's right hand developer leader here.

"Hello Lika...we meet again...how are you?" Ask Bayu.

"Don't talk trite.I just want to leave this to your boss.Tell him thank you for the trust he lent me his house..." Said Lika while thrusting a series of house keys to Bayu.

"Oh..I think you've come forward to buy a house here.it turns out just borrow...alright...later I will convey..."Say Bayu.

"Thank you..."

Pamit Lika's.

"Wait on! Why rush? don't you want to talk to me? we haven't seen you in a long time..." Prevent Bayu while walking after Lika who quickly stepped.

"I don't have time to serve you.we take care of each one of our lives..." Said Lika who just kept walking.

"But I'd love to talk to you..how are you...your grandmother...do you also not want to know how I am? I've separated from my wife.now my status is a childless widower..." Obviously Bayu.

"I don't care! You want a widower or a virgin.I don't want to deal with you anymore.now step aside! Let me go!" Jerit Lika's. Hearing Lika's rising voice, inevitably Bayu moved away from before Lika.

"Lika.. this is not finished.I will definitely look for you...!" Call Bayu from a distance, while Lika has quickly advanced the motor.

Not how long Lika arrived in front of her house, her breathing still stingingly held back the annoyance. Lia appeared from behind the door.

"Sister.we can't leave tonight.we haven't finished we're cleaning up..." Shouted Lika from the front of the terrace.

"It's okay.kalo not tonight yes tomorrow at dawn.there are other reasons that indeed I have to leave this city..." Lika.

Inside the house, Grandma was seen putting her clothes into a suitcase.

"Grandmother.rest first.let me and Lia who will continue it.we will take a long journey tomorrow..." Said Lika.

"Yes, son.whatever your decision, grandma comes along.Its important we continue together..." Grandma Sahut.

"Have I booked the trip ?" Ask Lia.

"Already at dawn tomorrow at 5 we have been picked up...Let's get ready..." Said Lika.

Tok.dok...

Suddenly, the door of their house was knocked from outside, the three of them looked at each other.
