The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #45 We're Separating

The pearl still continued to stare at the face of the girl before him. The face looked very honest and as it was, tears welled up in her blue eyes as she pleaded.

"But Baruna is still recovering. He suffered an injury to his leg from being shot by Daniel. In addition, your brother's men have also beaten him to battered," said Mutiara.

"On behalf of my brother Diaz, let me apologize once again, Auntie." Floretta still keeps putting on a face. Her tears were unbearable.

"Well.....!!"

At the same time, Baruna shouted from the front door of the main house. Pearl, Arkha and Floretta turned to the door at the same time.

It appeared that Baruna was limping down to immediately approach them. Although the injury to his leg makes Baruna still very difficult to walk, but Baruna still try to walk as fast as possible.

"Malurban....!!" Flo also shouted that name and moved her legs to get to Baruna.

"YES....! Come in and never see that woman!" prevent Arkha. His feet also moved to intercept Baruna so as not to meet Flo.

"Let them, Bang!" pearl's strangulation hurriedly blocked Arkha's hand and forbade her from preventing their son from meeting the girl of his heart. Pearl shook her head and smiled meaningfully and looked at the face of her husband who looked still upset. Arkha was silent and just wasted his rough breathing, he understood his wife's intention of preventing him from banning Baruna from seeing Floretta.

Meanwhile, Baruna kept dragging her steps, stumbling towards Flo who was also half-running towards her. Arkha's orders were completely ignored. Seeing the person he missed the most was now in his house, it was certainly impossible not to meet him.

"Fuck!" Baruna hugged her body tightly.

"Baruna!" Flo also hugged Baruna very tightly.

"You know where I'm from, Flo?" baruna whispers full of haru. He felt guilty for hiding his identity from Flo.

"I already know everything about you, Bar. I also know that you've been lying to me all this time and saying you're just a nomad in this town." Flo smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry, Flo. I didn't mean to lie to you. I just don't want you to misunderstand me and stay away from me after knowing who I am." Baruna smiled as well.

"I don't mind all that, Bar. I know you lied so I wouldn't be awkward with you, right?" Flo shakes. Although he already knew that Baruna had been lying about him all along, but all that was not too much of a problem. Instead, Flo considers all that is the greatness of a Baruna who willingly claimed to be an ordinary man just so that he was not awkward towards Baruna who was a son of a prominent person in the city.

"I'm so worried about you, Flo. I'm afraid Diaz and Daniel hurt you." Baruna held onto Flo's shoulder, looking at her face while wiping away the tears that instantly flowed down Flo's cheeks as their four neutrals clashed.

"I'm worried about you too, Bar. I know my sister did a bad deed to you, because that's why I came to see you" Flo said, staring back at Baruna's teary eyes.

"Tell me what's happened, Flo? My sister and I are looking for you everywhere. Your house is empty and you haven't been to your office in a few days either" Baruna asked curiously, but also with extreme worry, she sounded clear from the tone of her voice.

"I .. I-I" Flo's lips were unable to speak. His eyes stared pushyly at Baruna's face that was covered in bruises. Flo's gaze was also fixed on Baruna's right leg which was still wrapped in bandages and made him unable to stand upright. His heart felt so sad to see all that.

"I'm fine, Bar. Diaz picked me up and took me to her house. He wanted to get me together with Daniel" Flo said, not revealing the truth.

"Did they hurt you?" baruna asked again trying to find out.

Flo just shook his head. "No, Bar. Diaz and Daniel never hurt me" he replied, lying.

"You're so badly hurt that you almost lost your life because of me, Bar." Flo rubbed Baruna's cheek. Various feelings rumbled on his chest. Seeing Baruna's state, he was increasingly unable to resist the increasing guilt in his heart. He felt that because of her, Baruna had to be hurt and hostile to Daniel.

"No, Flo! It's not all because of you." Baruna hugged Flo very tightly.

"I miss you so much, Flo. I love you and I don't want to be separated from you anymore. I will never let Diaz and Daniel hurt you" Baruna said.

"I love you too, Baruna. But, this relationship of ours will jeopardize your safety and that of your family, too" Flo said. He realized that his relationship with Baruna would be bad for everyone around Baruna.

"But Sister Diaz or Daniel have nothing to hurt me, Bar!" flo tells a lie while releasing Baruna's embrace.

"I just realized that Sister Diaz's goal has not been wrong. He's not as bad as I thought, Bar. He betrothed me to Daniel, so that my future life would be better." Flo keeps lying.

"What did you say, Flo?" Baruna widened her eyes hearing Flo's words.

"There are many reasons you won't understand even if I tell you, Bar. Diaz and I owe Daniel a lot of money. We no longer live on those streets either because of him. And for that reason, I decided to accept my betrothal to Daniel." Flo lowered her face. He took his breath very deeply, trying to hold back his tears so as not to overflow his face.

"No way, Flo. Tell me you're lying to me. I'm sure Diaz threatened you, right? All this time, Diaz has also always forced her will on you!" sergeant Baruna was growing more and more in disbelief.

"The truth is that it's all true, Bar. My goal here is actually to tell you that from now on you learn to forget about me and stay away from me. I've never been serious about being in a relationship with you." flo looked disingenuous.

"No, Flo. Don't tell me that. I can't forget you because I love you so much!"

"After all, Brother Diaz is the only family I have, Bar. He's my real brother. I always misunderstood him all this time. I was wrong to hate him too. What really happened was that she wanted to see me live happily with the right man and I would happily marry Daniel, too."

The deg!

Baruna was aghast, her heart was beating very fast. Flo's words made a million disappointed now filled his tribe.

"Happy? Say it again, Flo! Is that right, you're happy to be married to Daniel?" rebutting Baruna while releasing her embrace and staring intently at Flo.

"Happy or very forced, Flo?" Baruna smiled in oblique fashion. His heart was so unable to accept Flo's false confession.

"I'm not forced at all, Baruna! I'm getting married to Daniel soon. That way I will be able to make peace with my brother and my life will also be very prosperous with Daniel!" firmly Flo with a quivering voice and a stifled sobbing. What he said was, of course, completely contrary to his true heart.

Baruna took a deep breath. What Flo delivered made a million turbulent feelings stifle his chest.

Disappointed? Absolutely sure! She did not expect that Flo changed her mind so quickly and chose to side with her brother who even so much hated.

"I'm sorry, Bar. I gotta get out of here. I don't want Sister Diaz to see me here." Flo wiped her tears.

"Goodbye, Baruna. From now on we have to live our own lives and find another woman who deserves to be your companion!" Flo turned her back to Baruna who was frozen in place.

Baruna remained silent a thousand languages without being able to prevent Flo from passing before her. His heart is so sick. For the first time in her life she felt in love with a woman, but she made her feel disappointed.

Baruna just stared blankly ahead as Flo stepped away leaving her. His heart desperately wanted to hold Flo back from leaving. However, his ego as a man also boils down. This was the first time she had been rejected by a woman, so she chose silence and let Flo pass without any desire to prevent it.

Flo walked over while lowering her face. Tears that had been able to be held back finally slid swiftly without being asked.

"I'm sorry, Om, Auntie!" flo held back his sobs, as he passed in front of Arkha and Pearl who were still standing at the same spot.

The two of them were also silent and did not dare to comment seeing what happened between Floretta and her son.

"I'm sorry I've created so many problems in your family." Flo bowed her back and continued to step out through the main gate of the Waradana Residence's mansion.

Pearl and Arkha stared at each other without being able to do anything but just let Flo leave their house.

"Pity that girl, Bang. I know he was lying to Baruna. He deliberately said dishonestly so that Baruna could forget about it," wirred the Pearl with tears that also welled up in the corner of his eyes.

"Yes, Honey. I feel sorry for both of them too. I can't keep them apart. But what you can do, this is the best decision they have to make for the safety of everyone including Floretta herself." Arkha rubbed his face and turned his head to set his gaze on Baruna who looked extremely disoriented with everything going on.

Arkha could feel what his son was feeling. Being left behind by her lover while still very dear to her, must have been very painful.
