The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #76 Recognizing Mistakes

Diaz quickly takes over a piece of paper containing a statement agreeing to Flo's curettage from the doctor's hand. Without a second thought, he signed it.

"I signed it, Doc. Now do your best for my sister. The safety of his soul is paramount" Diaz said, handing the letter back to the doctor.

"good. We will definitely try to do our best!" The doctor nodded and rushed back into the IGD room.

"Yes, God! Why is it all like this, Una?" The pearl that had been sitting on the waiting room chair instantly covered his face with both palms. Tears were pouring down his cheeks. Sad, disappointed mixed anxiously raged in his heart. She is sad that Flo has to lose her baby. However, just like her husband, she also felt disappointed at the great mistake made by her son.

"I'm sorry, Ma. My relationship with Flo has crossed a line. But we do it because we love each other. And I promised I'd be responsible to him." Baruna crouched down in front of the Pearl and held her hand. He realized that the mistakes he had made so far had made a sense of disappointment in the hearts of his parents.

"But what if something happens to Flo, Una? As a woman, my mother was also very worried about her!" pearl Sergah.

"Calm, Ma. Everything will be fine!" cut off Ardila while tightly hugging the Pearl and come sit next to her.

Baruna rubbed and squeezed her own hair violently. The anxiety felt by Pearl, was also the same anxiety she was feeling. Baruna looked back and stared at Diaz.

"It's all because of you, Diaz!" decak Baruna approached Diaz and pointed his index finger right in front of Diaz's face.

"You've purposely separated Flo from me. What kind of brother are you, Diaz?" Baruna gave a sharp grin.

"Only an ungodly brother would give his brother to a depraved man like Daniel, for his benefit alone! Absolutely savage and has no feelings for you, Diaz! You don't deserve to be a big brother at all!" hardik Baruna cursed furiously, clutching Diaz's collar violently.

"And if you hadn't taken her away that night, Flo wouldn't have lost her baby either!" Baruna continued to chatter and snapped in anguish as she looked at Diaz with cynical eyes, affirming her anger.

"I'm sorry, Baruna! This is all my fault. I'm not a good brother, I'm Diaz. "I also found out that Flo was pregnant after we tried to hide and seclude ourselves on the island." Diaz lowered her face, feeling embarrassed.

"Based coward! You took Flo away and hid on the island, just because you were afraid the police would arrest you, right?!" yup Baruna again while removing the collar and pushing Diaz's body until he fell on the wall of the room. The stick he held as a support for his leg also came off and fell to the floor, so that with the condition of his leg that was still injured, Diaz was difficult to stand again.

"Stop, Una!" peekik Ardila's. "You don't have to blame Diaz! What good are you scolding him for? It's all happening, Una. And look, Diaz is also in a state of injury. She must have never expected it to be like this!"

Ardila immediately stood up from her seat and walked over to the cornered Diaz and almost fell on the corner of the wall of the room.

"Come, stand up, Diaz!" Ardila picked up the staff for Diaz and helped her stand up.

"Thank you, Dila," Diaz said smilingly looking at the girl in front of him.

"It's natural that Baruna is angry with me, Dila. This whole thing is my fault. I've misunderstood all these years against all of you" Diaz said.

"Om Arkha!"

Diaz limped closer to Arkha who was just standing in the room.

"I've been planting grudges and sowing seeds of enmity with you. I just realized it was all a misunderstanding. I used to think that Om was the one who had caused the bankruptcy of my papa-owned company, but the reality was not so," Diaz said.

"What do you know about me, young man?" arkha asked as she stared fixedly at the two blue beads in Diaz's eyes and grabbed her shoulders.

"Diaz knows everything, boss. I told him all the truth" said a man who had just entered the room.

Arkha turned to the person who had just spoken, then smiled broadly.

"Genta!"

Arkha immediately approached the man.

"How are you doing, Genta? I was very worried about your safety. But now I'm so happy to hear the news that you and all the passengers on your ship survived the crash."

Arkha hugged Genta while patting him on the shoulder several times.

"Thank God be good, boss. I am so thankful that God still shows His generosity and gives us salvation." Genta and Arkha shook hands with each other.

"Genta Dad!" timpal Baruna hugged Genta tightly.

Genta continued to smile and said, "In addition, Baruna and Rendy also arrived on time and helped the evacuation process. If there is no reinforcements from your company's fast boat, maybe the officer will not be able to help us quickly," said Genta was very grateful.

"Dad proud of you, Una! Almost five years we've never met, now you've grown up to be a very manly and brave adult, just like your father," sanjung Genta stared in amazement at the appearance of Baruna who did look much more mature than when they last met.

"Baruna was also the one who had very bravely saved me when I was stuck on the deck of the ship and my leg was clamped in an iron locker" Diaz said in praise. "I owe a lot to Baruna. In addition to what happened yesterday, Baruna also helped me when I was held captive by Daniel and helped me free Flo from her grip."

Diaz looked at everyone in the place one by one, including Baruna who still looked annoyed at him.

"I've always hated you, but you've always been a god of help to me and Flo" Diaz said very honestly.

Arkha smiled again at Diaz's confession.

"Thank God you've realized all your mistakes, Diaz. After this, I hope there are no more misunderstandings. Live in peace without hostility and resentment" Arkha said.

The atmosphere that was once tense, is now gradually melting among the people in the hospital's IGD waiting room. They talked and encouraged each other. They also offered prayers for Flo to be okay and nothing more serious happened to her.

Diaz who initially felt awkward and embarrassed because he had misunderstood the Waradana Family, especially Arkha and Baruna, had now also begun to blend in between them, and he was increasingly aware that his hatred and resentment towards Arkha all this time was a big mistake that he made.
