The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #3 Are Lying

Out of Diaz's room, Baruna took Ardila to the room she had rented at the hotel.

"Why did you bring Brother here, Una? Are you staying here?" ardila asked as they were at the door of Baruna's room.

"Let's go in first, brother! We're talking inside," Baruna asked as she stuck a key card on the door of the hotel room.

"Drink first, brother!" Baruna gave a bottle of mineral water to Ardila, who was sitting on the edge of one of the beds in the room.

Slowly Ardila took a sip of water from the bottle Baruna gave her while sighing deeply trying to ease her tension of all the things that almost happened to her.

"Tell me who that man is, and why would he be able to force Big Brother like that?" cecar Baruna took a look, very curious why her brother was almost raped by the man named Diaz.

"Actually, Diaz is Sister's boyfriend, Una. We were just here for dinner. But Big Brother did not think that he had the same evil intentions as Big Brother and forced Brother to give what you should not give to him," said Ardila bluntly.

"What's? That jerk's brother's girlfriend?" Baruna rounded her eyes and shook in disbelief.

"Yes, Una," answered Ardila briefly without wanting to hide everything from Baruna. However, Ardila simply lowered her face. She felt ashamed of Baruna who had learned of Diaz's bad actions, her lover.

"Hmm .. thankfully I heard Brother's scream. Otherwise, I don't know what happened!" Baruna shook her head. "And from now on, you better never get in touch with that son of a bitch again!" baruna was full of emphasis.

"I'm sure that man is not a good man. Only a jerk would force his lover like that," decak Baruna felt very upset to hear Ardila's confession.

"You're right, Una. From now on, Brother will break up Diaz. Nor would you have an evil hearted lover like him!" fierce Ardila. He also felt very disappointed at the treatment of his lover who had forced him to do things they should not have done before marriage.

"Then, why are you alone in this place, Una? When are you coming home?" Ardila asked Baruna.

"Papa Arkha and Mama Mutiara said you're just coming home from Sydney next week, but how come you're here?" tanyanya was curious because to her knowledge, her stepbrother was still abroad and still studying there.

"I-I, I-I just got back ta-tadi this morning, sister," replied Baruna nervously and stammered.

"So morning?" Ardila gasped at Baruna's honest answer.

"So morning you arrived in the city. But why don't you go straight home, Baruna?" sentak Ardila was getting curious.

"I-i ..." Baruna's tongue felt choked and unable to continue. Ardila's question made her feel cornered and did not know whether to tell an honest story or lie to the woman she already considered to be her biological brother.

Ardila then pulled some of the Baruna jacket she was wearing and sniffed it. Ardila could clearly smell the smell of alcohol still on the jacket.

"Now you're being honest with Brother. You've been drinking, haven't you?" ardila's mouth is full of interrogations.

"I-i ..." Back Baruna stuttered and could only nod her head in a sign that she was agreeing with what Ardila thought of her.

"I-I'm sorry, brother. I beg you not to tell me all this as mama and papa," Baruna pinta in a grimace style while shuffling her hair and smiling clumsily.

"Hmm, I know! You must have deliberately come home early without telling papa and mama, so you can have fun with your friends first, right?" terka Ardila with a grin looked at Baruna's suddenly nervous face after hearing her question.

"Please, brother, I beg you! If papa and mama knew that I had actually arrived in the homeland and not come home immediately, they would have scolded me all out," whined Baruna while showing her heartfelt expression in front of Ardila.

"You are, yes, the same thing. Her hobbies are drinking and clubbing. When are you going to change, Una?" ardila rebukes Baruna.

"His name is also a young man, Brother," kekeh Baruna.

"I'm lazy to go home, brother. If I go home, you'll definitely force me to work at his company."

"What's the matter, Una? You have graduated and already got a master's degree in Sydney. Then why don't you run papa's company?"

"I don't want to be a slave to work yet, brother. I'm not content to have fun spending my youth" Baruna said.

At school, Baruna was a smart boy. After graduating from Junior High, Baruna had the opportunity to undergo a student exchange to Sydney Australia, and she continued her studies there.

For almost eight years Baruna had been living in Sydney and he had only come home once a year during the winter holidays.

During his stay in Sydney, promiscuity had affected Baruna's life. He was getting used to the nightlife and the free s*x behavior of the young man there.

"Once again I beg you not to tell Papa and Mama if in fact I have returned to my homeland, Brother!" pinta Baruna is getting louder.

"No promise!" seringai Ardila sneered.

"No, Brother! Papa Arkha and Mama Mutiara can only know that I'm coming home next week" Baruna said.

"If Big Brother dares to say this to Papa and Mama, I can also tell you the incident that happened to Brother was the same as them. Hehe." Baruna again chuckled and threatened back that Ardila would not say about her return from Sydney to her parents.

"I'm sure, I also definitely didn't tell my mom and dad that I actually left the house to date that jerk at this hotel, right?" accuse Baruna of grinning.

"Huh, you're the son of a bitch, Una!" grunts Ardila irritated while pulling Baruna's ear and fretting at her.

"Oh-duh, it hurts, Brother!" ringis Baruna as she continued to chuckle in response to her brother's treatment.

"I miss Dila. How's Brother been doing all this time? Did you finish your S2 class here?" baruna asked while hugging Ardila, spilling a sister's longing for her brother who had not met for a long time.

"Bad brother, Una. College is also over soon." Ardila smiled as she hugged her sister tightly.

"Mama and papa how are you, brother? Are they healthy?" ask Baruna.

"Thank God everything is healthy, Una."

"Thank God. Actually I miss them so much. I miss home, but for now, I want to have fun. Next week I'll be home" said Baruna again.
