The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #75 Feeling Lost
"Help me, Baruna! Save our baby" said Flo still in a soft voice.
"Infant?" Baruna's forehead wrinkled. He did not understand the meaning of Flo. However, to him Flo's safety was far more important than anything back then, so he didn't care what Flo said just now.
"Hold on! I'll get help, Flo. Soon I have to get you to the hospital!" Baruna hurriedly lifted Flo's body and resumed carrying him.
Baruna walked up and left the beach. He knew exactly where he was going to look for help, because he was very familiar with the beach area that he had visited quite often during this time.
"Help us.....!" Baruna shouted loudly when she was close to the area crowded with cafes and restaurants on the beach.
People who had been in the cafe or were just in the shade around the place, suddenly flocked to approach Baruna and Flo.
"Are you the victims of the ship accident?" ask someone there.
Looking at the state of Baruna and Flo, there were various reactions from the people in that place and they also whispered to each other, feeling shocked as well as moved. The accident of the cruise ship must have become a byword among them, and they did not expect at all a miracle that could bring one of the passengers of the ship was now stranded on the beach, even though the distance is tens of kilometers away from the location of the ship that had an accident and was in the process of evekuasi by officers.
"Yes right. We were both passengers on the ship. We were washed away and washed up on this beach" Baruna said.
Without thinking long the people there immediately took action. Encouraged by humanity, one of the men there immediately prepared a car and drove Baruna and Flo to the nearest hospital from the port.

In a waiting chair in front of the hospital's IGD room, Baruna sat uneasily waiting for news of Flo who was getting treatment from a doctor there.
"Infant? Is Flo pregnant?" Baruna's mind remembered Flo's earlier words. During the trip to the hospital, Baruna and Flo did not have time to talk to each other again. Baruna doesn't want to care about anything but Flo's safety.
"If she's pregnant, does she contain my seeds?" Various questions came to Baruna's mind.
"Una, are you okay, son?"
The voice of a man suddenly spread Baruna's daydream. As soon as she got word from her son, Arkha rushed to the hospital and met her son.
"I'm fine, Pa," Baruna replied as she turned to her papa.
"How's Flo doing?" Arkha sat down next to Baruna, rubbing her son's back.
"The doctor's checking on him, Pa."
"Calm down, Una. Flo will be fine, too" comfort Arkha.
"What about Genta's father and Rendy's father? Did you get any news about them?" ask Baruna. He also remembered the safety of his father's two confidants.
"They're both fine, Una. Instead they were very panicked and worried for your safety. Now they are both still in port to help with the evacuation efforts. Hopefully there will be no casualties as a result of the accident" Arkha said.
"Then ... What about Diaz, Pa?"
"Diaz has also received help. If it is not wrong, he was also taken to this hospital. I'll find out where he's being treated."
"Thank God! Hope everything's okay, Pa!" Baruna nodded.
"YES....!"
From a different hallway in the hospital, another scream called out to him.
Pearls and Ardila walked hurriedly, approaching Baruna and Arkha in the waiting room. After getting news about Baruna, those who felt very anxious immediately followed to the hospital.
"This is a miracle of God, Una. You should be thankful that you can still survive the disaster." Pearl hugged her son tightly and felt very moved and also grateful for the miracle that God gave, so that his son managed to survive without the slightest injury.
Shortly after, a doctor came out of the IGD room.
Baruna hurried up from her seat and approached the doctor. He could not wait to know his lover's situation.
"How Floretta is doing, Doc. Did he have serious injuries?" tanyanya was very curious.
"Sorry, are you her husband?" The doctor looked towards Baruna with his two eyebrows intertwined.
"What's the matter, Doc?" Baruna looked confused.
"We need signatures from the patient's immediate family, especially her husband, to sign this affidavit. The patient was bleeding and we had to urgently perform a curettage, because the baby in the patient's womb could not be saved."
"Infant?" Baruna was back. "So, Flo's really pregnant, Doc?" tanyanya shakes in disbelief.
"Yes, the content has entered the second month, but unfortunately the patient experienced a miscarriage. When tragedy strikes, it's likely that the patient's uterus has been bumped and caused the baby to not survive."
The deg!
Baruna gasps. "Yes, God! Flo is pregnant. I have taken her chastity and we have done it several times without safety" Baruna muttered. He recalled the sin and the caliphate they had committed before and he was also very sure that Flo must have been pregnant with her child.
"What was the meaning of my dreams and bad premonitions that night?" thought Baruna and felt like she had lost something in her life.
"If you are her husband, you should sign this letter immediately, so that we can take action immediately. It's a very emergency, the safety of your wife is much more important" the doctor continued, handing over a piece of paper and a pen to Baruna.
Baruna grabbed the paper from the doctor's hand and read it slowly.
"Why is it like this, God?" Without Baruna noticing, tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. Guilt, regret, sadness and sadness were mixed in his chest.
"What's up, Una?"
Seeing his son who suddenly looked sad, Arka also approached Baruna. Arkha snatched the affidavit from Baruna's hand and read it.
"Say, did Flo have your child, Una?!" arkha asked as she held onto Baruna's shoulders and looked at him with questioning eyes and disappointment at the mistake her son had made.
"Yes, Pa," Baruna replied briefly and nodded.
"Why did you commit such a sin, Una?" Arkha snorted with rustling teeth while rubbing his face rough. In his heart he was very angry and disappointed. He could not accept the mistake his son had made. Having a woman before marriage is certainly not something she wants to hear about her son. However, the rice had now become porridge and Arkha could do nothing. Everything has happened, even Flo also now has to lose her baby which is also her flesh and blood.
"I'm sorry, Pa!" Baruna lowered her face.
"I'm sorry, sir. If this young man wasn't the patient's husband, then who would sign this letter?" cut out that doctor again. "We need to take immediate action. If it is delayed again, the patient is afraid that he will lose more blood," said the doctor, hoping to immediately get approval to follow up the patient's treatment.
Baruna and Arkha remained silent and momentarily stared at each other without knowing what they should do.
"I'll sign the letter, Doc. I'm the patient's older brother and I take full responsibility for his safety!" exclaiming someone from a different place, interrupting the conversation between the doctor, Arkha and also Baruna.
"Diaz!" Baruna rounded her eyes.
Diaz appeared to be limping with the help of a stick approaching him. Diaz's leg has also been seen wrapped in casts and bandages, the accident has caused one of his legs to fracture and at that time he had received medical treatment also in the same hospital.
