The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #62 New Life

The next morning in a different place.

An inter-island ferry continues to break the waves. The sea breeze blew very fast in rhythm with the roar of the ship's engine that continued to rumble.

Three days later, Diaz and Floretta are currently aboard a Ro-Ro sailing in the middle of the ocean.

"Where will this ship take us, brother?" flo asked his brother, when he realized that the ship he was riding had sailed the ocean for almost three days and three nights.

At that time, the two of them were sitting together on the deck of the ship and their views were both pointing loosely towards the expanse of the sea before them.

"I also don't know where this ship is going to dock, Flo. You remember, we got into this ship clandestinely in that truck loaded with tobacco" Diaz said with his head.

They both entered the ship illegally without paying a ticket.

Earlier, when they tried to escape, Diaz took Flo on a truck and sneaked to hide in a dump truck loaded with basic necessities, no one knows where they are there. The truck then took them to a port that was not too far from the location of the villa that became Daniel's hiding place.

The truck also led them into an inter-island ferry that they did not even know where the ship was going to take them.

Both were also very lucky, because the passenger checks on the ship were not too tight, so they easily escaped the supervision of the officers there.

In addition, Diaz and Flo have crossbred faces and are more dominant like Caucasians or foreign nationals. That is what makes the crew and other passengers on board think that they are travelers and will go to visit an island that will be the destination.

No one has any suspicion of them. In addition to transporting cars, trucks and other large-bodied vehicles. The ship roll on - roll out was also idling passengers. And since the passengers on the ship were also mostly travelers from abroad and could be expected, the ship would definitely take them to an island that was the destination of the tourists.

Inside the cabin is also available a clinic. It was at the clinic that Diaz got treatment for his injuries.

The injuries from the shot were not very severe. The bullet did not get lodged in Diaz's body, but only injured the surface of his arm and left only a torn wound on the skin of his arm.

"Until now I still don't understand what it's that big brother's purpose is to ask me to run away like this." Flo looked at her brother's face. To be honest in his heart he was eager to defy Diaz's desire to take him away from his hometown.

"I'm sorry, Flo. This is the best way to save ourselves. We should stay as far away from police checks as possible, after all" Diaz said.

"We?" Flo smiled wryly.

"I don't need to stay away from the police, brother. Brother alone is a coward! Big Brother is afraid that polosi will arrest Big Brother and imprison Big Brother, right?" hardik Flo with a ketus grin.

Diaz let out a rough breath hearing Flo's rebuke towards him.

"Yes! I'm scared to go to jail, Flo. I was afraid that if I would stay in prison, no one would be able to take care of you anymore. Brother doesn't want you to live alone anymore" Diaz said as she looked at her sister's face, which was visibly upset with her.

"I also released Om Alfin from prison illegally. Om Alfin was an enemy of Arkha in the past. Once Arkha finds out I freed Om Alfin to work together to take revenge on him, he will not stay silent either. He must have been hostile to me, while I had nothing left in that city. My workshop's been destroyed, my men have also been all crippled by Daniel."

Hearing all of Diaz's explanations, Flo could only lower her face. Although he knew that his brother had committed many crimes while still a follower of Daniel, but he did not want his brother to go to prison. He knew that Diaz's actions had been based on his ambition, which was too excessive, to be able to realize his goal of rebuilding his papa company. Flo is also very sure, if Diaz is with him, Diaz will definitely be able to take him back on the right path.

"Then are you sure that after we leave the city we will be safe in a new place?" flo asked again with his doubts.

Diaz shakes. "Come, Flo. I'm not sure either. But, at least for a while we can be safe and I can also think about what we will do next" Diaz said trying to reduce all the things his sister was worried about.

Diaz and Flo continue to sit on the deck of the ship and discuss their future plans. Diaz continues to try to convince Flo that their act of escape when the incident happened, is the most appropriate action they did.

.

Without notice, the ship continued to speed and now docked in a port that looks not too big.

Flo and Diaz now find out that they landed on a small island, but the island is quite crowded with foreign tourists. The island is also very famous for its natural beauty and marine tourism. Tourists who visit there are generally explorers who like marine adventures and peace seekers who are far from the atmosphere of city life.

It was nearing afternoon, when the ship pulled over.

In that place, Diaz and Flo also easily obtained lodging. Many cottages, villas and international resorts in the place. Armed with the remaining money in Diaz's wallet, they can find a place to stay that is quite comfortable there.

"For a while we can stay at this inn, Flo. But I don't have much money left, just enough for a few days. Tomorrow I'm gonna start looking for a job here, so we can survive on this island," diaz said when they were in a guest house room for them to rest comfortably on the island.

"Can I also find a job here, brother? I also want to help you make a living, so that we can soon have a permanent residence on this island."

"Of course, Flo. We're about to start a new life on this island. Big brother is so sure we'll be safe here and we can get away from the city life that's so cruel." Diaz smiled looking at her sister's face. After living on an island very far from city life, he was very sure he would be able to live more peacefully in that place and escape the police search.

Flo returned Diaz's smile. She also has the same beliefs as her sister. Living on the island will surely make Diaz completely forget his life in the past that is very close to crime and the world of crime.

"Goodbye, Baruna. I'll stay on this island for good and we'll never see each other again" Flo recalled her love she left in town.

"You will easily forget me, Baruna. From now on, I will learn to forget you. We are not meant to be together. We will walk in each of our destinies." Flo muttered in his heart about all the unrest and turmoil that was mixed in his heart.

Although her inner self was very unwilling, Flo still convinced her heart to forget Baruna and buried her deep in love.

After all, her relationship with the man she loved so much would never be able to come together. Many things are a barrier to their love and all that is very unlikely for them to be together.
