Skylar And The Lecturer
05

Oranges have appeared on the western horizon of the sky, a sign that it is dusk and will soon turn into night.

A luxury silver sedan stopped right in the yard of the Skylar house, owned by Papa Lucas who had just returned from work. Somehow the feeling of the middle-aged man feeling uneasy this afternoon made him rush home.

"Assalamualaikum," he said trying to open the door.

But there is something strange, Skylar who usually never locks the door this time instead locks the door from the inside.

"Skylar, son, where are you?"

The silence of no answer made Papa Lucas even more confused and worried.

He knocked on the big door of his house many times but still there was no answer.

Increasingly worried, Papa Lucas opened his bag to remove the spare key.

He swiftly opened the door, his eyes widened in disbelief, finding his daughter lying helplessly on the floor crying as she pleased.

Papa Lucas watched the child only wayangnya closer, the lips of the poor girl dry his eyes also swell as well as his nose reddened like a burning. He was asleep, making Papa Lucas immediately carry his frail body that brought him into the room.

"What happened to my son?" she looked worriedly at Skylar who she had just moved onto the bed.

Papa Lucas then closed Skylar's room door, letting the girl rest. The middle-aged man's foot came straight down the stairs to the kitchen, intending to question Bi Midah, their housekeeper.

"Bi Madah," call Papa Lucas to look for Bi Medah's existence.

"Yes, sir, what's wrong?"

"Auntie knows why Skylar was like that?" ask Papa Lucas straight to the point.

"anu, sir, Non Skylar had a fight with his girlfriend," Bi Medah replied as she was because she had overheard the two talking from the kitchen while intending to make Darrel a drink.

"How can you?"

"Said his girlfriend Non Skylar, he impregnated another woman that made Non Skylar angry and so it is, sir. I had persuaded Non Skylar to go up to the room Non did not want," said Bi Medah.

"It's just right for my son to be like that" muttered Papa Lucas.

"Then I will go home first, sir. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

...°°°...

The morning had arrived but Skylar's body as if perfectly glued to the mattress made the beautiful girl reluctant to move things a little. His head felt dizzy, even his eyes hurt and his nose felt clogged making Skylar's feelings worse.

The sadness and disappointment still firmly shackled his heart causing Skylar to become even more spiritless.

"Okay, Wendelline Skylar, especially for today you can be sad but tomorrow can't be anymore." Skylar said with a voice that was still so hoarse.

"Darling, are you awake?" Papa Lucas knocked on Skylar's room door slowly.

Oh, of course there are still good men in this world and obviously it is Papa.

Skylar then gathers the rest of his energy to get out of bed intending to meet his Papa who must be very worried about him.

"Lad..." Skylar who was limp helpless immediately ran into the arms of the Papa. He was not crying, but his heart still hurt.

"It's been... Papa knows everything" Papa Lucas returned the child's embrace, trying to provide comfort and tranquility through his arms.

Although his appetite is not good, Skylar still nods and approves of his Papa's invitation to eat especially after he heard the name Gou Lao Rou which became his favorite Chinese food since he was a child.

"Today you sit down, let Papa serve it all" Papa Lucas said, gently patting Skylar's shoulders to sit at the dinner table quietly.

"Thank you, Papa."

Papa Lucas smiled, "no man loves you more than Papa, son. So Papa's got to look after you anytime."

Skylar was stunned to hear his Papa's words. He also felt disappointed in himself because he was still lacking to repay the affection that was so poured out of Papa for him. Papa is the only one who stays by Skylar's side under any circumstances.

He saw the Papa who is now busy himself serving good food for the two of them with a soft look, hoping to someday be a child of Papa's pride that is useful in the future.

"Here, son, let's eat before it gets cold" Papa Lucas told her with a sweet smile on her face.

"during this Sky has been difficult Papa continues to yes."

Papa Lucas' smile still did not fade. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and fed Skylar with the dishes he had served just now.

"Son, it's Papa's duty as the only parent you have, son. This is a non-debt obligation that you need to pay," Papa Lucas replied softly.

He was so patient and painstaking in feeding Skylar.

"Papa should eat first, Papa should be at the office soon" Skylar said.

Papa Lucas shook his head, "for Papa's most precious gem, Papa must put aside work."

After all, Lucas Wong is not an employee, but a CEO in a superior mining company.

"Thank you again, Papa."

Skylar slumped back into his Papa's arms and cried, but this time it was not a sad cry but a haru cry and Skylar's gratitude for having been given such an amazing Papa as Papa Lucas.

...°°°...

It's almost eleven o'clock, Teon with the speed of light running across the main corridor of medical school in order to arrive in class first compared to Wendelline Skylar the beautiful but very annoying student according to Teon.

For some reason like having a grudge because Teon really likes to make Skylar hassles and upset to face him.

With a gasp of breath, Teon finally managed to arrive at the classroom where he would teach this afternoon before eleven and then spread his gaze to all corners of the class where the majority of the residents were women.

Teon did not get what he was looking for. Poor thing.

"Whose father Teon is looking for?" ask the king to the medical school, Jeffrey.

"Are all the students present today?" Teon asked back, of course he was prestigious if he immediately asked Skylar whereabouts.

"Everyone is present except for the state asset, sir" said Radit, a bespectacled young man in the left corner of the room.

"Who is that?" ask Teon who is curious.

"Not to mention Wendelline Skylar, sir," said Jeffrey, "I heard she was sick, sir. Maybe her dad's gonna be here any minute to deliver a sick license."

Teon nodded, "alright for this time I admit the information from you is useful, thank you, Jeffrey."

Teon smiled meaningfully.

Alright, it looks like this will be a good opportunity to prank Skylar next time, he thought.
