The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #100 Ahead of Happy Day 1
Let a caterpillar metamorphose into a butterfly with a charming color, such is a major change that Pearl feels in her life. One month she lived with Mama Yuna in her apartment. During that time, Mama Yuna had managed to change the Pearl which was previously only a village girl with a very simple appearance, now become a modern city woman and look very elegant like a woman from the noble class in general.
However, the care in the expensive salon, clothes and branded accessories that must also be very expensive, and other luxuries provided by Mama Yuna can not change the personality of a Pearl. She was still a humble, simple woman who was not too material in her life.
Although Livina is already a prison resident and no longer lives in the big house of the Waradana family, but Mama Yuna does not want to live in the house and chose to stay in her apartment to accompany Pearl. Not without reason, it was deliberately done by Mama Yuna so that she could more easily maintain and teach Pearl all the manners and habits and lifestyles in her family.
One more thing, Mama Yuna did not want Pearl to get too close to Arkha before she organized their second wedding.
During that one month, Mama Yuna had indeed prepared many things for her son's wedding day with Pearl, even all the preparations that she herself arranged without involving Arkha or Pearl. Mama Yuna is very enthusiastic about preparing everything even without consulting with prospective bridal couples. Mama Yuna has even prepared a wedding dress, wedding venue and invitation list. Sometimes only Sandra is allowed to help her if there are things she cannot do on her own.
That afternoon, in the Pearl's room.
"The more days I see you getting prettier and more graceful, Ra. I really admire you" praised Sandra as she stared at the Pearl face from the reflection of the mirror before her. The pearl who was sitting on the dresser chair in front of the mirror just smiled faintly in response.
"You're overreacting, Sandra. You see, you're also very pretty in this dress," Pearl responded in praise of Sandra.
Both of them had just finished dressing up. The pearls use a long, cream-colored sleeveless dress and open on the back while Sandra also uses a short black bodycon dress combined with a mini cardigan to enhance her appearance. Both of them smiled as they looked at their reflection in the mirror.
It was the day that Mama Yuna chose for the family meeting that would discuss Arkha and Pearl's wedding.
However, unlike the engagement event in general, Mama Yuna just made a casual dinner at a five-star hotel in the city. Invited are only his close relatives and colleagues. It was done by Mama Yuna because remembering that moment was not the first marriage for her son.
"Especially on your wedding day, you will definitely look like a queen. You will definitely be very compatible in pairing with Mr. Arkha." While tidying up Pearl's hairdo, Sandra continued to praise.
"What queen? Queen of the south sea?" pearl Shells. Both then chuckled.
"Ohya, when did you get married, Sandra?" ask Pearl.
"Hem .., I'm still the backbone of the family, Ra. My sisters are still in school, so far I have not thought about getting married" Sandra replied.
Sandra was 27 years old at the time, but she still had not thought about getting married because she still wanted to devote her life to Mama Yuna. In addition to working for Mama Yuna, Sandra and her two younger sisters run a homeware store. When serving Mama Yuna, then his sisters who keep the store while in college.
"But you already have a lover, right?" ask the pearls again.
"No, Ra. I'm single" said Sandra, shaking her head and smiling.
"Pearl, are you ready? We have to leave now, Arkha is waiting for us." From outside the room, Mama Yuna called them.
"Yes, Madam. We are ready" said Sandra, holding Pearl's hand and coming out together.
"Pearl, you are indeed very beautiful," Mama Yuna praised with a smile as she looked at the Pearl.
"Mama beauty!" Baruna who was then carried by Mama Yuna also praised.
During one month of being co-parented by Mama Yuna, Baruna had been taught to call 'Mama' to Pearl, so that Baruna would no longer call her 'Mother'.
"Let's go now!" mama Yuna's orders.
Pearl and Sandra obediently followed in Mama Yuna's footsteps leaving her apartment.

At a restaurant in a five-star hotel in the city, a hall was reserved for family dinners. That's where the family meeting before Arkha and Mutiara's wedding will be held. Some round tables with white orchid flower decoration as the centerpiece has been set up there and some guests have also come. The servants have started serving canapes and cocktails to the invitations who have occupied their respective tables.
In one of the VIP seats, Arkha sat alone. Her lips continued to smile, a happy feeling was filling her heart at that moment.
Arkha repeatedly glanced at the watch that was always circular in his right hand. Arkha took a deep breath. In addition to a happy gurgle, his heart also hinted at anxiety, because what he was waiting for had not yet arrived at that time.
Rendy thrust a glass of daiquiri in front of Arkha while she herself was holding a glass of mojito in her hand. While sitting next to Arkha, Rendy sipped her drink slowly.
Arkha glanced at Rendy.
"Tumben you look different today, Rendy?" ask Arkha. He smiled as he saw Rendy dressed formally in his shirt and suit. Rendy always looks relaxed. Dark colored polo shirts are combined with tactical pants and sneakers, only that is always used.
"Yes, sometimes it has to look good, right, boss? The same losing period you keep going," Rendy licked as she tidied her hair confidently.
"By! After all, until now still single," always Arkha sneered at Rendy, and Rendy just chuckled made.
"Hi, Boss. Hi, Rendy!" A man in a wheelchair approached and greeted.
"How are you, Genta? I'm glad you came here" Arkha said.
"Yes much better, boss. This is your special day, my time is not coming? I also want to be happy here, too" replied Genta as he glanced at the beautiful woman next to him who had pushed the wheelchair for him.
Arkha just smiled and turned to look at the woman who was none other than a private nurse who was paid specifically by Arkha to take care of Genta. Genta has been discharged from the hospital for two weeks, but he has not been able to stand up perfectly. Injuries to some of his nerves left him in a wheelchair for some time until he was completely healed.
"That's them coming, Boss!" rendy exclaimed when he saw Mama Yuna had walked into the hall with Pearl, Baruna and Sandra.
Arkha's eyes immediately shot towards the Pearl, and without realizing it her mouth was gaping at the sight of the Pearl that looked very graceful with the dress she was wearing. Arkha was greatly amazed, the charm of a Pearl so radiated back then.
"Pearls are absolutely perfect beauty, indeed" Arkha muttered in admiration.
Rendy immediately got up from her seat and with a friendly smile greeted Mama Yuna and Pearl.
"Welcome, Madam!" greet Rendy as she pulls up the chair and lets them sit down. Mama Yuna and Pearl sat across from each other and Arkha was among them.
"Papa ..," cried Baruna while directly slashing her body from the lap of Mama Yuna moved into Arkha's lap.
"Papa ganteng tetayi," praised Baruna as she rubbed Arkha's cheek.
"You are also very handsome today, Prince Papa," Arkha replied as she kissed his son's cheek.
"Mama's children and grandchildren are both handsome and handsome." Mama Yuna praised. Mama Yuna smiled sweetly upon seeing Arkha's performance back then. The white shirt and beige suit that match the color of the Pearl dress make the couple look very harmonious. The outfit they were wearing at the time was indeed the outfit chosen by Mama Yuna specifically for the family dinner that day.
Arkha and Pearl were also now staring at each other. A happy look rubbed on the faces of both. Slowly Arkha grabbed the hands of the Pearls and held them tightly.
"You are beautiful, dear," whispered Arkha unable to withstand the thumping of her heart at that moment.
However, the Pearl just smiled blushing in embarrassment.
"The pearls are so sexy with her dress, her lips are also so seductive with her glossy lipstick. Aahh .., I can't wait to enjoy my first night with her again" Arkha's inner self.
Those mischievous thoughts did bother her head a lot lately, but since Mama Yuna always forbade her from meeting Pearls, Arkha always tried hard to hold all the sparkle of her soul when imagining Pearls.
