The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #72 Kandas In The Sea

Arriving at the port, Baruna and Rendy found that many people had packed a nearby dock from the location of the ship that had been in an accident. The rain that still continues to fall from the sky seems not to be an obstacle for some people there who want to find news about relatives or relatives of those who are victims.

Anxious faces were also seen waiting for news about the safety of the passengers of the ship, the gripping atmosphere enveloping the port at that time.

Police lines have also been installed in some areas so that not just anyone can enter the location.

The Search and Rescue team and several green-clad rescuers also seemed busy preparing for all the evacuation efforts they would make. However, due to bad weather that day, the officers had difficulty in carrying out the evacuation of victims.

"No!" baruna screams where he got the news from the officer there that, Genta is the captain of the ship that served on the fateful ship that is still aground and stuck in the middle of the sea.

"This can't happen! Genta's father must be saved immediately. We can't keep waiting for the officer to make the rescue, Om!" to Rendy.

After they were not allowed to enter by the officers there, Baruna felt very worried about Genta's safety. All rescue teams also seemed unable to do much, because the weather at that time was very extreme. Heavy rain continued to pour, thunderstorms continued to thunder and high waves crashing from the middle of the ocean, also becoming a severe threat to the rescue teams.

"What can we do, Baruna? If the officers don't dare, let alone us?" tukas Rendy shakes in doubt.

"No, Mrs Rendy! We can't just stand idly by, we have to save Genta's father!"

"Then we have to how, Una. The officers won't let us in!" elak Rendy again.

"We will go to the middle of the sea through our private port, Om. through the private pier owned by the papa company, there will be no officers who dare to prohibit us. Please have your men prepare a fast boat!" baruna's word was firm.

"But ... " Rendy still looks doubtful.

"If Om Rendy doesn't dare come with me to save Genta's father, that's fine, Om! I'll do it myself!" concluded Baruna cut Rendy's speech with a ketus. He was not happy to hear Rendy's refusal as if he was very afraid to go to the middle of the sea in a stormy condition like that.

Rendy simply nodded without daring to refute anymore. Of course in his heart he was very worried and wanted to reject the weather was very bad, not one person dared to fight against nature which seemed to be warning of a threatening danger.

The two then set foot through a terminal alley in the port to the private port owned by the Arkha company, which is located not too far from the main port.

In his private port, some of Rendy's men, immediately prepare a small fast boat. Baruna and Rendy who were already wearing life jackets rushed up to the fast boat and they headed to the middle of the sea, where the ill-fated yacht was still trapped in the middle of the fierce storm.

The high waves continued to hit, the storm also continued to head off. Several times, the fast boat that brought Baruna and Rendy to the sea because it was hit by strong winds and waves. Baruna, Rendy and some of his crew members tightened their grip on their fast boat.

The storm was indeed very powerful, it was natural that the officers delayed the rescue because in the middle of such extreme weather, something worse could have happened. However, Baruna with Rendy did not hesitate to face him. The fast boat they boarded drove quickly to break the storm until they were now not too far from the cruise ship that looks almost sunk in the middle of the sea.

Fortunately, the fast boat helmsman was very experienced, so even though it was hit by a very strong wave, the small fast boat was still able to survive the storm.

The cries for help and the cries of fear of the passengers of the ship were heard echoing from the ship that was aground by a terrible storm in the middle of the ocean. All the passengers panicked when they learned that the sea had entered and filled all the surfaces in the cabin of the ship.

"What should we do first, Baruna? Who should we save first?" asked Rendy confused about who should save the bottom first.

There were hundreds of passengers on board and everyone was expecting help. While their fast boat can only accommodate a few people.

"In the boat there's gotta be a lifeboat, Om. Parents, children and pregnant women are the ones we should prioritize first. Please Om with Om's men to help rescue the victims. I'm gonna get on that ship and look for Genta's father."

Baruna and Rendy then moved from their fast boat and boarded the deck of the main ship, which was positioned at the top, where the passengers had gathered there to find the safest place, because the sea water has filled the bottom deck at the bottom of the ill-fated ship. The panicked and terrified cries of passengers continued to be heard. Several crew members were also seen busy preparing lifeboats. The accident on board was only a few minutes away, so self-rescue efforts by the crew were also just beginning.

Rendy and his men also rushed to help with the rescue effort, while Baruna burst into panic among the passengers. He rushed to find the ship's bridge because he believed Genta must be there.

The sea water increasingly filled the entire cabin space even the room in the bridge of the ship has also been flooded by water.

"We must immediately rescue passengers first" said Captain Genta.

"But lifeboats alone will not be enough to accommodate all passengers."

"Put rescue on elderly passengers and children first!" genta commands.

Simultaneously at that time, Baruna managed to get into the bridge. Although he was not a passenger on the ship, no one seemed to care about him. In an emergency situation, everyone only cares about the safety of their lives.

"Genta Dad!" baruna screeched when she saw Genta on the bridge.

"Baruna!" Genta gasped in shock. "Why are you here, Una?" genta asked with a million surprises. He did not expect Baruna could be on his boat, even though an emergency situation was happening there.

"I came here to save Dad. The rescue team on the ground had not dared to make a rescue because the weather was very bad!"

"But I have to save the passengers first, Una."

"Om Rendy's with me, too, Dad. He and his men are doing rescue for the passengers."

Hearing Baruna's reply, Genta sighed and was slightly able to smile.

"Come on! You all help all the passengers save themselves, try not to fall victim!" genta's orders later, had all the nausea on his ship help all the passengers.

"Thank you very much, Baruna!" Genta rushed to hug Baruna and felt deeply moved. The young man, who was the eldest son of his former superior and whom he considered to be his own son, came as a god of salvation on his ship.

"Come, Dad! Dad came ashore with my fast boat. I'll save Dad soon!" invite Baruna does not want to delay the time, because the condition of the ship is increasingly emergency. Baruna hurried to pull Genta's hand to take him out of the bridge room.

"Wait, Una!" prevent Genta who makes Baruna stop Baruna's steps.

"There's someone more important for you to save from this ship, Una!" exciting Genta.

"Other people? Who, Dad?" baruna asked with her furrowed forehead.

"Floretta and Diaz" said Genta.

"Flo and Diaz??" Baruna's eyes were perfectly rounded. Hearing the names of the two people called by Genta, a sense of surprise and curiosity now filled his head.

"Are they both on this ship?"

"Yes, Una! They're hitchhiking here and they're going back to town."

"If so, let's find out where they are, Dad!"

"They must be on the main deck, Una. All the passengers must have saved themselves!" sahut Genta.

"All right, I'll be there soon!"

Baruna and Genta rushed through the corridor in the cabin of the already inundated ship and climbed onto the main deck of the ship.
