The Passion of the Segara
Bonus Part #3

At the international arrival terminal, the plane carrying Arkha and Pearl had just landed. That day they returned from their honeymoon.

After two nights spent on a luxury yacht, the ship finally took them to the port on an island that is very popular with tourists in this country. An island that is famous for its natural beauty and cultural uniqueness.

On the island, often referred to as the Island of the Gods, they rented a luxury private villa and stayed there for several days.

From the Island of the Gods they then flew again to the land of the White Elephant and continued to several other countries in Asia and Europe, until now the time they ended the honeymoon period to return home.

A look of happiness continued to shine on the faces of the two.

"I miss Baruna, Bang. Hopefully the boy won't trouble his omana during our stay" Pearl said as they walked towards the airport's pick-up zone.

"I miss our son, too, dear. Baruna is a submissive child, I'm sure she'll never trouble Mama" Arkha said. His right hand never left to embrace the shoulder of the Pearl while his left hand pushed the baggage trolley full of suitcases and souvenirs they bought during their vacation.

"Sir ...! Mama ...!"

Baruna immediately ran to welcome Arkha and Pearl as they met in the pick up zone.

"How are you, Papa?" Arkha immediately raised his son's body and kissed the boy's cheek.

"Mama misses Una," timpal Mutiara rubbed Baruna's head and brought her pip closer to her son's face for Baruna to kiss him.

"Una also misses Mama and Papa" the boy said, hugging Arkha and Pearl as he was happy to welcome his parents home.

"Welcome back, Boss. Must be a honeymoon full of impressions, right?" Rendy shook Arkha's hand.

"Yes, Rendy is very pleasant," Arkha brightly smiled happily.

Rendy smiled, since her meeting with Pearl again, Arkha has changed a lot. Smile more and look very cheerful. No more tangled faces and anger that used to always appear on the face of his superior.

Rendy rushes to take over the trolley from Arkha and stuffs all of Arkha and Pearl's luggage into the trunk of the car that has been previously stand by in the pick up zone.

"Well, where's Mama, Rendy? Not coming to pick us up, are you?" arkha asked because she didn't see her Mama was with Rendy at the time.

However, a meaningful smile was on Arkha's lips, when he saw Sandra was with Rendy at the time.

"Great Lady suddenly had to meet a psychiatrist, Boss. He's canceled, " said Rendy. His hands remained busy moving the suitcase from the trolley and arranging it inside the trunk of the car.

"Oh .., because Mama didn't come, so you called Sandra. That so?" cibir Arkha's.

"So I just happened to meet this little girl on the street, boss. Pitying that he was hanging in the street, I just invited him to come so that there were guards of Baruna," said Rendy smiling ridiculously at Sandra.

"Eh ..., what did you say, Rendy? Meet you on the street? Just yummy! It's a cooler box!" reply Sandra cussing.

He immediately put on an annoyed face after hearing Rendy who said that they just happened to meet on the street.

"This Polar Bear is a lie, Mr. Arkha. I came here because I was ordered by Mrs Yuna to take care of Baruna, because Mama You suddenly had to meet a psychiatrist and could not come to pick up Mr. Arkha and Mrs Pearl," sandra's slap as she poked her lips at Rendy's direction.

Arkha and Pearl stared at each other and both smiled amusedly in response to the silliness of the two people. Although throwing taunts at each other, Arkha could feel that the two actually liked each other and shared admiration for each other.

"Initially ridiculed each other, long time can fall in love with each other!" ledek Arkha chuckles.

"It takes a hard fight to be able to melt the ice at the top of Jaya Wijaya, Tuan," Sandra sneered.

"What the hell is that? I don't understand," let's pretend Rendy's a geeky.

"It's nothing" said Sandra, ending their argument.

Arkha dan Mutiara kembali hanya terkekeh melihat tingkah Sandra dan Rendy yang semakin terlihat konyol saat sama-sama gengsi dan berusaha menyembunyikan perasaannya.

After Rendy finished putting all of Arkha and Pearl's belongings into the trunk, they all then got into the car.

Baruna, who was previously in the front passenger seat and was held by Sandra, now moved to sit in the passenger seat in the back with Arkha and Mutiara.

"It's not bad, is it, as long as Mama and Papa stay?" ask Pearl to her son when the car had already slid out of the airport area.

"No, Mama" said the plain Baruna.

"Mama's son is smart," praise Pearl while re-dipping her little son's cheek.

"It's not just Mama's son, Papa's son also dong!" timpal Arkha kissed Baruna's cheeks affectionately.

"Ohya, Sandra. Why isn't Ardila coming?" Arkha was reminded of Ardila who had already been considered his own eldest daughter.

"From the day of your wedding, Miss Ardila just wanted to talk to Miss Desti, her nanny, sir. Miss Ardila would rather stay in the room." Finally Sandra started to tell me, "With Madam Yuna, she doesn't care at all about Miss Ardila. It became Miss Ardila felt jealous and thought that Madam Yuna only loved Baruna," explained Sandra.

"Hmm .., I know that. Ardila is too small to understand everything" Arkha grumbled.

"And Mama, I don't want to blame Mama for this either. It's only natural that Mama wouldn't consider Ardila as her granddaughter, Mama's too hurt over all the crimes Alfin and Livina have committed."

Despite feeling disappointed by Mama Yuna's attitude towards Ardila, Arkha also did not want to judge her mother who so excessively hated Alfin and Livina.

Naturally, Mama Yuna was like that, Alfin and Livina's bad behavior in the past had brought Mama Yuna to the lowest point in her life.

"You need to be patient, Bang. Mama will definitely be able to accept Ardila as her granddaughter too!" urai Mutiara with a smile and rubbed her husband's back.

"Even if Mama disagrees, I still want to raise Ardila as my own son, honey. Do you mind if I do all that?" ask Arkha to the Pearl.

Pearl shook her head, "Not at all, Bang. From childhood, Ardila has grown up with your attention and affection, the child has also considered you as his biological Papa, right? It's our duty to raise her responsibly, too, Bang. The child is innocent, Ardila is still very innocent, she should not be a victim of the greed of her biological parents" Pearl said.

"Thank you, Honey. You were always the same. You are a very nice woman and have a big heart. You've always been understanding of me." Arkha looked at Pearl's face and smiled. She was very happy, feeling grateful to have a Pearl in her life. A woman with a clean and sincere heart towards anyone.

"Don't praise me like that, Bang. I don't deserve it." Pearl blushed shyly.

"In addition, there is one other news about Mrs Livina that I would like to convey to you, Boss!" rendy Sela.

"What news, Rendy?"

"A week ago, Mrs Livina was transferred from a detention cell to a mental hospital" Rendy said.

"What?" Arkha and Pearl flinched simultaneously hearing what Rendy had said.

"What's wrong, Rendy? Why was Livina taken to a mental institution?" arkha asked as if she could not believe what she had just heard.

"Mrs Livina kept screaming, crying and laughing herself while in prison, Boss. It looks like Mrs Livina suffered from severe depression after living in detention" Rendy said.

"In order not to disturb the officers and other inmates, the police took Mrs Livina to a mental hospital to be treated there, sir," Sandra told Arkha.

"Livina .., this is all karma for your bad deeds. You deserve all that, Livina. You also have to feel what you have felt because of your actions" Arkha growled.

However, in her heart she felt pity knowing Livina's state. Livina was once a part of her life.

"It's not good to say that, Bang. As bad as Alfin and Livina did to you and Mama in the past, they were still my childhood friends, right?" mutiara.

"You're right, honey. After all, Alfin and Livina were my childhood friends. And Ardila, to me that child is the only thing left of our friendship. I also love her very much, so I still want to raise Ardila like my own flesh and blood,"

"I will also always be ready to be a good connecting mother to Ardila, Bang. Like you, I promise I will always love him without ever distinguishing the affection I will give for him and Baruna.

"Thank you again, darling. I'm so lucky to have a wife as good as you." Arkha hugged the Pearl tightly while gently tucking her forehead.

Again Rendy and Sandra who were sitting in the front seat of the car just looked at each other and both smiled to see the closeness and intimacy of Arkha with Pearl.

"May Rendy and I be like Mrs Pearl and Mr Arkha." Sandra. He makes up his mind to melt the frozen heart of Rendy, the cold man who has made him fall in love.

Arkha then looked at the face of Baruna who was still a henchman sitting in the middle of them while playing a toy car.

"As long as Mama and Papa are gone, who's at home?" arkha asked while playing with the cars with her son.

"Oma's name,"

"Kak Dila did not play as well huh?"

"No boyeh cama Oma, Papa," said Baruna honestly.

Arkha only smiled faintly, "From today on, Una should invite Kak Dila to play together, ok! Dila's sister is Una, she's also Papa's son Mama,"

"Okay, Papa!" Baruna nodded obediently and smiled happily.
