The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #31 People Who Shot Baruna

Pearl's sobbing was unbearable when she saw her son lying weakly in a hospital bed unconscious. After getting word that Baruna was shot from Rendy, Arkha and Mutiara went straight to the hospital following Rendy.

The infusion hose is still attached to Baruna's hand, the breathing apparatus is also still covering his nose. At the time, Baruna had just been transferred to the treatment room after going through surgery to remove a bullet lodged in her leg after the man's shots confronted her. At that time he was also not aware of the influence of anesthesia that entered his body during surgery.

"Una, why did it go like this, son?" The pearl held tightly to his son's hand and continued to sob.

"Don't worry too much about our son, honey. Baruna is a strong boy, just a hot pewter won't make it all right!" entertain Arkha who at that time was also next to the Pearl.

Arkha gently rubbed the Pearl's back and tried to reduce his wife's worries.

"Who would shoot our son, Bang? What did he do until someone wanted to harm him like this?" sobs of Pearls with his voice still hoarse resisting crying.

"Me and Rendy will investigate, honey. Please calm down. Baruna will be fine!" Arkha continued to try to calm his wife who seemed very worried about her son's situation.

Arka then turned to look at Rendy who was also still in the room.

"Rendy, come with me!" invite Arkha to signal Rendy to come with him out of Baruna's treatment room and leave Pearl herself to accompany Baruna there.

"Good, Boss!" Rendy nodded and immediately followed the orders of her superior.

Arkha and Rendy then walked together, came out of the Baruna treatment room and sat in the waiting room chair in the VIP area of the hospital.

"What information have you got, Rendy?" arkha asked starting a serious conversation between them.

"Who's the girl who's close to Baruna, and who's the one who guessed my son?" telisik Arkha's.

"The girl who was close to Baruna was named Floretta, Boss. She's just a simple girl who works as an administrative staff at a finance company" Rendy explained, starting to reveal all the information about what she had investigated earlier, according to Arkha's orders.

Since Baruna returned to her homeland and often returned late at night, Arkha did assign Rendy to secretly watch the movements of her eldest son. Moreover, after Baruna was willing to follow her will and started learning to take care of her company, Arkha put a little suspicion on her son.

Arkha was surprised because every day Baruna chose to use his own motorbike when going to the office, never willing to join in one car with him. Baruna also always leaves early in the morning ahead of him. However, Baruna arrived at the office just later from him.

In the afternoon, Baruna also always leaves the office early. However, Baruna will also always go home when the night is very late.

Because of that, Rendy could suddenly appear at the scene when Baruna was shot. Rendy had been stealthily trailing Baruna ever since she walked out of her office.

Arkha just nodded his head slowly. For him it does not matter who and what the background of the girl who became his son's lover. During this time he also always gave freedom to his children to choose their own future companion for his life.

"Then what does the girl have to do with the shooting of Baruna, Rendy?" ask Arkha again.

"Before establishing a relationship with Baruna, the girl has been betrothed by her brother to a mafia leader, Boss. And that's the guy who shot Baruna" Rendy explained all the information he got while watching Baruna.

"Mafia leader?" Arkha frowned. "Who is he, Rendy?" tanyanya.

"Daniel, Boss! Daniel Denaro, the highly respected mobster in the narcotics world!" rendy Beber.

"What ... Daniel Denaro?!" Arkha widened his eyes hearing the information his assistant had conveyed. Of course he was very surprised. Who is not familiar with Daniel Denaro, a drug mafia who is already very famous and became public secrets in the city. No one dared him, even for various reasons, the police were very difficult to catch him.

"Yes, Boss! Therefore, I suggest that Baruna should no longer be in contact with the girl named Floretta. If Baruna is still with him, then surely Baruna, you, all your family members and also your company will be in danger!" firmly Rendy.

Arkha let out a long sigh hearing all of Rendy's words. After all, he had to be strict. Baruna's proximity to Flo indirectly will certainly endanger everyone in her family. And if that is left unchecked, many worse possibilities could occur.

"But if Baruna really loves that girl, how can I keep them apart, Rendy?" Arka looks worried.

"No need to insinuate me, Rendy!" ketus Arkha is upset. He knew that his assistant was sneering at him, because he knew Arkha's past, once a man easily enslaved by love. Especially to the simple village woman who became his wife today, namely Pearl.

Meanwhile in a different place.

A large, luxurious house, looks guarded by sturdy men in every corner.

A doctor was seen busy with several medical devices on his hands and was treating a wound on the hand of a man in one of the rooms in the house.

"Luckily the bullet only hit the surface of the skin and did not penetrate your hand, Mr. Daniel," the doctor said, wrapping a bandage in the hand of the man who was the patient.

"Today I'm really fucking shit! Because of that Smelly Boy, my hand got hurt!" furious at the man with the look of his eyes that were still filled with anger.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Excuse me, Mr. Daniel. Mr. Diaz has arrived."

A servant went into the room of the man named Daniel and told his master about the arrival of the man he had been waiting for.

"Ok, get him in!" daniel's orders to the servant also let his personal doctor out of his room, because the doctor had finished treating his wound.

Another man then walked into the room while bowing his face, afraid, not daring to look at the man before him.

"You know what I'm calling you here for, Diaz?" cynical Daniel stared intently at Diaz who stood trembling, afraid of his anger.

"Pardon me, Boss. Sa-me .. I ..." Diaz stuttering. He was very afraid and did not know how to answer the question that Daniel asked him.

"You've exhausted too much of my patience, Diaz! You always promised to hand Floretta over to me soon, but where's the evidence? Until now Floretta has not been able to be mine and even she is now actually close to the English Boy!" daniel snapped with his emotional suppression.

"Once again forgive me, boss. All this time I tried to persuade Flo in a good way. But if he's still not willing for me to match up with you, then I'll do it by force." Diaz finally dared herself to answer and defend herself, but the aura of fear was still visible from the look on her face.

"Look good, Diaz! I don't care how, you have to bring Floretta here for me! I don't want that damn guy named Baruna to take it from me. Because of that boy, today my hand was injured!" ketus Daniel again and Diaz returned just silently did not dare to say.

"I'll give you three days, Diaz! If in these three days you can't hand Flo over to me, then be prepared! I'll never help you again. And I'm gonna get the police to arrest you and put you in jail!" daniel asserted again with full of threats.

"Ba-well, Boss!" sahut Diaz was brief and with a trembling voice. He was increasingly afraid of the threat of the man who had helped him a lot.

"One more thing, Diaz! Remove the man named Baruna from the earth forever. If you need help, you'll call me. You please take my men how many people you want! Kidnap and kill him!"

"Ready, Boss!" diaz capable.

.

A few minutes after leaving Daniel's mansion, Diaz sat glued to his car.

"Baruna! That jerk always brings shit!" Diaz clucked and looked so upset.

"I must immediately finish off Baruna. Boss Daniel only gave me three days, how can I bring Flo here in such a short time?" Diaz rubbed his face rough and remained silent in his car. After hearing Daniel's threat to her, of course, she became very confused and had to rack her brain to find a way to finish off Baruna and bring Flo to Daniel, as she had promised so far.
