Last Port

The appearance of Mr. Andi

Lika cleansed and wiped Ricky's body, as before, Ricky remained unmoved in his long sleep, all the hoses were still attached to his body, Lika's heart was so sore every time she wiped her husband's body, which does not respond to every touch.

"Look Mbok.my husband looks like an undead.either when he will be conscious.when soon the baby will be born..." Lika complained while continuing to wipe Ricky's face and body, then she gave baby powder all over her husband's body to give a sense of comfort, smeared eucalyptus oil on each part of his body. Then Lika covered Ricky's body with a blanket.

"Patience yes mbak.ini trials of the power.mbok Narti also sad to see you like this.but mbak Lika just calm down....mbok Narti will always accompany mbak Lika to take care of Mr..." Said Mbok Narti while stroking Lika's back.

"Thanks Mbok..." Sahut Lika.

Tok.dok...

The sound of the door on tap, Mbok Narti rushed to open the door, saw a nurse and a man who was about 40 years old.

"This is someone who wants to meet with Lika's mother..." The Sister said, then the Sister immediately left the room.

"Good Morning Mother Malika.introduce, I am Andi.assistant Mr. Ricky..." Said the man while extending his hand. Then they shake hands.

"Oh.yes.yes.yes.my husband once told me about you Mr. Andi.please sit down..." Lika pointed towards the sofa that was in the corner of the room.

"Thank you.I'm sorry for the disaster that happened to Mr. Ricky..." Said Mr. Andi.

"Yes sir.until now I also do not know what caused my husband's accident, now I just focus on his recovery first..." Said Lika. Mbok Narti then came carrying two bottles of mineral water.

"I mean to come here, in addition to visiting Mr. Ricky also want to convey some things about the Ricky Pak project to Bu Lika as his wife..." Said Mr. Andi.

"Oh..iya Mr...how about my husband's project in Jogja?"

"For the project in Jogja runs smoothly Bu.inden house has been built, the school building has also been completed....the new school year can be started to open new student enrollment and recruit teachers.I myself entrusted Mr. Ricky to handle the project in Jogja..." Obviously Mr. Andi.

"Thank God then.I beg Mr. Andi to supervise the project, because my time is spent taking care of my husband, plus in a moment maybe I will give birth..." Lika.

"Of course, ma'am.no need to worry, Mr. Ricky did entrust me to manage his project in Jogja..."

"What's the matter Mr. Andi?" Ask Lika worriedly.

"For the project in Jakarta.I just got information, if the project there experienced many obstacles.in addition to the condition of Mr. Ricky who is currently unconscious...we need his signature..." Obviously Mr. Andi. Lika seems to think.

"What kind of obstacle is it, sir?"

"One of the slum locations that will be built apartments.there are some families who refuse to sign land acquisition, whereas the construction of the apartment was to help them out of their current condition.Pak Ricky planned to make a special apartment for residents who live in the slum...but many people misunderstand..." Added Mr. Andi.

"So..what can I do for you sir? I'm just a teacher.I don't understand the problem..." Lika.

"If Ms. Lika does not immediately intervene, then the project will be taken over by rival sir Ricky.who has long been eyeing the land.but not to be made an apartment, but not to be made an apartment, except for a mall..." Obviously Mr. Andi.

"What can I do to help get the project going sir??" Ask Lika.

"Bu Lika came with me to Jakarta, how to ask residents for approval about the construction of apartments, as well as signing building permits and cooperation with contractors..." Added Mr. Andi.

"Oh sir.I became more dizzy.I cannot leave my husband here alone..." Answer Lika.

"If it is indeed an important thing.mbok Narti alone who take care of Mr...but ..mbak Lika is pregnant.yes it is up to the conscience mbak Lika only..." Said mbok Narti who suddenly opened his voice.

"Hmm...well Mr. Andi, I will follow you to Jakarta..this morning leave, in the afternoon I have to return..how?"

"Okay, ma'am, I booked two flight tickets this morning at 9...."

"okay...Mr. Andi wait outside, I'll get ready first..."

"Good..." Mr. Andi immediately rushed out of the room.

"Dear father.. I went for a while yes. in order to save your project in Jakarta.I'll be back soon..." Whisper Lika while kissing her husband's forehead. Then he immediately exited the room.

*********

The flight from Semarang to Jakarta is very fast, not how long Lika has arrived in Jakarta. Pak Andi immediately brought Lika to the location in question, a slum that was connected to the slum of times, which almost every year experienced flooding.

"Sir Andi...for citizens who protest and do not agree to land acquisition signatures, can not be collected in the field?" Lika said as they arrived at the Location.

"Can't Mom. Ricky's other men have arranged it..."

"Good..."

"If you want to talk to them, we've also prepared loudspeakers..."

"Hmm...alright..."

That afternoon some residents were already crowded, they were boisterous voices voicing disapproval over the building of the apartment, Lika shrieked, actually in her heart she was afraid, let alone she had never experienced this before. Some of Ricky's men had already distributed food and mineral water at Lika's behest.

"Good afternoon father and mother.I Lika..my wife of Mr. Ricky the owner of the apartment project that will be built in this place..."

"Huuu...." The boisterous voices of those who cheered him.

"You are robbing us of our rights....!!" Shouted one of the residents.

"Where do you think money is coming from to rent an apartment?? Rich people just want to reap the benefits of a small rakyak...!!!!" A mother's scream.

"Fathers and mothers...What causes poverty to increase rapidly in this country?? Because of the lack of knowledge!! Where do people get knowledge?? From school!! Don't you feel lucky ? In addition to living a decent life, not underestimated people, children can go to school as high as possible..can lift the family economy....are you not proud??"

"School?? Public schools are very crowded, private expensive.we can not afford!! Don't give us false dreams!!!" Shouted one of the fathers.

"Father and mother themselves who determine the dream is fake or not.Besides in building an apartment for your prestigious place, in this place will also be built a school for your children... you just have to pay for electricity and rent.the school is free!! Free book!! Uniform gratis!! Do you not pity to see your generation, your children and grandchildren every year wallowing in floods and poverty.so that your life becomes glorious in the eyes of others...I know everyone deserves a chance to get an education, in addition to formal school, here will be a non-formal school for packages A, B, and C....the years ahead there will be no more unemployment or street children.but all I return to you.Life is an option..." Lika finished her talk, her throat felt dry, after sitting, Pak Andi immediately thrust a bottle of mineral water, Lika immediately gulped it down.

"Sir Andi...which other file should I sign? This afternoon I must return to Semarang..." Lika. His face looks tired.

"I've booked a ticket for my mother at 4 pm, later I will take my mother to the airport...Oya, these are the files I have to sign representing Mr. Ricky..." Mr. Andi handed me a few bundles of paper. Lika quickly signed it.

"It's done..." Lika.

"Oya Ma'am.it seems that the plan to build a formal and non-formal school is not in the proposal..." Said Mr. Andi.

"There are sir.staying added only..we also have to think of them in the social aspect.People like them need it.not just a place to live..." Obviously Lika.

"It was unexpected that Bu Lika's idea really got into them..." Praise Mr. Andi.

"Actually I am also afraid sir.I only speak based on my experience as a teacher..." Lika said low.

Suddenly, one of Ricky's men approaches them.

"Sir Andi...Ms. Lika..they all want to sign a land acquisition letter.In fact they have registered their children to schools that have not been built..." Excited enthusiastically.

"really?" Ask Mr. Andi not to believe it.

"Betul sir.my time is a lie..." That guy's right.

"Sir Andi.the main priority is to build a school first..after that apartment or simultaneously it is also okay if the contractor can..." Lika Smile.

"Mom Lika.thank you for the help..." Said Mr. Andi while shaking Lika's hand.
