Skylar And The Lecturer

17

Papa Lucas arrived at the clinic with anxious and worried face that was so obvious when he saw the princess lying on top of the ward of the clinic. The middle-aged man was shocked when Teon told him Skylar was being treated at the clinic for injury.

"How did you get hurt, son?" papa Lucas asked worriedly making Skylar smile gently.

"Don't worry, Sky is only lightly injured and has been treated by a doctor."

Getting such an answer, Papa Lucas looked at Teon and Mahen alternately asking for justification from the mere story of his daughter.

"Rubber, Sir. Skylar had received treatment that was supposed to match his wound," Teon added, embraced by Mahen who was still faithfully standing next to him.

"As for the full chronology let me explain, sir," Mahen took the initiative, pointing his open palm out of the ward.

Without a second thought Papa Lucas agreed, following Mahen out of the nursery wanted to get a clear explanation from Mahen.

"What's going on?" papa Lucas asked after Mahen felt he was far enough away from the nursery where Skylar was.

"Previously introduce my name Mahen, sir. I was a friend of Skylar's group in the soon-to-be inter-campus science olympic project. The story is like this, I and Skylar were busy discussing our project but suddenly Darrel came and provoked a commotion" Mahen said, staring at the older man.

Hearing the name Darrel called, made Papa Lucas' jaw harden to hold his emotions. The man felt he had to give his son's ex-lover a lesson in person just in case they were given a chance to meet four eyes.

"Next what happened?" sue Papa Lucas who has begun to grow angry.

"She made me noisier by saying words that I found very irritating, sir. Then after I answered his words he even raised his fist which unfortunately even hit Skylar to get hurt, sir," Mahen explained, recalling the incident a few hours ago.

Mahen sighed. "everything happened so fast that I panicked to see Skylar hurt but thankfully Mr. Teon happened to pass by and eventually helped me bring Skylar here. I beg you to forgive my negligence in looking after your son, sir."

Papa Lucas patted the young man's shoulders faintly with a faint smile. "it's not your fault, son. I guess Skylar just doesn't want you to get carried away in his personal affairs with Darrel."

Mahen was stunned after hearing the words of Papa Lucas who really understood his daughter well. In addition to success and rich so many made mecca by young entrepreneurs Lucas Wong also turned out to know his son well despite having a myriad of busyness in the business world he was in.

"Skylar is a very good girl, you managed to educate her so that she became the idol of many men" Mahen said with a smile.

Papa Lucas, who knew Mahen's direction, laughed, "if you're ready to compete with a lot of people and succeed, I'll brandish my four thumbs while walking around the city."

Behind his looks that look so cold and stiff it turns out Papa Lucas is a person who has a good sense of humor makes Mahen a little unexpected. The young man thought that Papa Lucas was eleven-twelve with a cold Skylar and only spoke as necessary but the facts said otherwise.

...°°°...

The temperature felt so low that it was bone-chilling did not stop Papa Lucas' daily habit of waking up before sunrise. The bulky man is even busy in the kitchen, cooking warm water to brew coffee and high-calcium milk for Skylar.

Not even ten minutes alone in the kitchen, Papa Lucas then heard the sound of slow footsteps that attracted his attention in addition to the sound of water being cooked.

"What do you want to eat this morning?" papa Lucas asked after learning that the one walking towards him was his son, not their housekeeper he had met before going to the kitchen.

The man was indeed more happy to prepare anything for him and his son to eat alone with his hands rather than telling others, I don't know if he'd just rather do it himself - making good food for Skylar could make Papa Lucas feel happier every day especially if he saw Skylar eating his food so voraciously.

Day is still dawn, the sun has not revealed its existence so that the vast sky is still covered in dark colors but both are awake, enjoying the moment as a pair of father and son while chatting lightly.

Papa Lucas turned off the stove, lifted the pot from the stove and slowly poured the hot water into the two glasses that he had filled with milk and coffee.

"Nobody wants to Sky, Pa. If Papa does not want to cook is also okay," Skylar said gently while taking a position sitting on the dining table chair watching the movements of his Papa in the kitchen. Skylar had long enough to miss a moment of togetherness with Papa Lucas in the morning because of his busyness that makes Skylar often wake up late.

Often Skylar wakes up when the Papa has left for the office.

"We have breakfast outside? it just so happens that Papa also has a lot of free time today, but spend the milk first yes," asked Papa Lucas with a beaming face, thrusting a glass filled with milk to Skylar.

Skylar happily agreed to his Papa's invitation and grabbed his cardigan that was hanging behind the door.

Patiently he blew his glass which still reflected a thin smoke sign is still very hot until the temperature decreases and can be drunk directly at once.

The father and son then walked parallel out of the house to the main door of the house to go to the breakfast shop not far from their house.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Papa Lucas asked, holding his son's right hand to walk closer.

Remnants of rainwater last night still appear to pool on some sides of the paved road, making Skylar more attention to his steps so as not to be exposed to splashes of water.

"Chicken slurry, shall you?" Skylar asked back after imagining how delicious chicken porridge in the store, especially he had not enjoyed his breakfast outside for a long time.

"Of course you can, you want to eat ten servings is also not a problem anyway Papa who paid," ledek Papa Lucas made the middle-aged man get a pinch berubi-tubi from Skylar.

"No, Pa!" skylar protested with pursed lips, hearing the ridicule from his Papa.

Arriving at the destination store, the two immediately ordered food according to their respective tastes to the owner of the store.

"Pa?" call Skylar after Papa Lucas finishes ordering food for the two of them.

"Did I just quit college, Pa?"
