I'm not sure how you didn't put him on the flush draw from the flop call on. That seems to be the most likely holding to call the flop and turn bets.

He prob had the proper odds to call with his nut flush draw and one over card on the flop. After the turn call you should have figured him for a possible flush draw. Your the short stack at the table any bet you make on the turn leaves you with few chips anyway and you're not going to lay down the set even if the flush hits the river so push here and make villan make a decision if he wants to risk that many chips on a one card draw.

yea like i said i saw the possible flush on the board after i put my bet in on the river, i concern more with the king on the flop. i thought maybe he had a higher kicker than me, but after the turn i figure not and didn't even see the flush draw. A mistake sometimes i make in that i don't focus on the whole board. so i think we're all in agreement that i push on the turn

Please pay attention. Reading the board and putting others on ranges of hands is one of the most important skill you can learn. You have to get beyond just looking at your cards compared to the boards. In online play especially people love to play suited cards so its crucial you pay attention to possible flush draws.
