The Passion of the Segara
Part #4 Bonus

It was late in the evening when the car Rendy was driving brought Arkha and Mutiara home to Arkha's residence.

"Yet you're finally back. How was the honeymoon, was it full of impressions?" welcome Mama Yuna. He was already looking forward to the arrival of his son and daughter-in-law in front of the house. When they heard the car that picked them up arrived at the courtyard of the house, Mama Yuna along with several servants also welcomed their arrival while bringing in all their luggage.

"Everything's so fun, Ma!" arkha exclaimed while kissing her mother's hand.

"Thank you so much for all the surprises, Ma." Pearls chimed in while kissing the hands of his mother-in-law.

"It seems you're enjoying your vacation a lot." Mama Yuna also smiled happily to feel the happiness that Arkha and Pearl were feeling.

"Home ...!" call Baruna who just got out of the car with Rendy and Sandra.

Mama Yuna immediately lifted the boy's body and carried him.

"Let's all go in! Mama's got dinner ready. You guys haven't eaten, have you?" invite Mama Yuna, also let Rendy and Sandra come into the house.

"Sorry, Madam. I didn't stop by today. I have to go home soon," said Rendy subtly reject Mama Yuna's offer.

"I'd also like to excuse you, ma'am. My sisters are waiting in the store" Sandra said.

"Well, I can't do it dong! I prepared a lot of food. I thought you guys were gonna have dinner together here,"

"Sorry, Madam. Next time we will definitely come to dinner here," Sandra said as she turned to Rendy.

"Alright, Ma. Let them go home" whispered Arkha beckoning to her Mama.

Mama Yuna just nodded and understood her son's intentions.

"Rendy, you have to take Sandra to the destination! Don't wander anywhere else," kekeh Arkha teased Rendy.

"Ready, Boss," said Rendy softly and blushed in shame. Rendy went straight to where he parked his bike.

"There's so much, San, you've come to pick us up at the airport." Pearls and Sandra cipika-cipiki.

"Sama-sama, Madam," said Sandra then rushed after Rendy and got on her bike.

Arkha, Pearl and Mama Yuna smiled happily as they watched the closeness of Rendy and Sandra.

"Hopefully Rendy and Sandra are indeed paired," said Mama Yuna when she saw Rendy had gone forward with her bike while piggybacking Sandra behind her.

"Yes, I hope so too, Ma" said Arkha.

After Rendy and Sandra came out of the yard, they both stepped into the house.

Arriving in the living room of the mansion, Pearl was instantly dumbfounded. The large house and filled with furniture and beautiful luxurious decorations made him stunned.

"This house is huge and luxurious, Bang." Pearls amazed. For the first time in his life he entered into such a magnificent palace house. His net revolved around observing everything in every corner of the house.

"Yes, Honey. And from this moment on, this house is your home as well. In this house we will knit our happiness with Mama and also our children."

Arkha took Pearl's hand and took her to the dining room following Mama Yuna and Baruna who had already headed there.

The servants were also seen ready to serve them in the dining room.

"Where's ardila? He's not eating here with us, is he?" arkha asked as they sat in their seats.

"That kid still seems to be angry with me" Arkha muttered.

Ever since she told Ardila that she was getting married to Mutiara, Ardila did show disapproval and disappointment towards Arkha. Of course, all children would not be willing if the position of the mother is replaced by a stepmother.

"Why are you messing around with that kid, Arkha? Just leave him alone. It's lucky he can stay here. If it wasn't for you to take care of him, Mama wouldn't have wanted the boy in this house. According to Mama, it's better for the child to be cared for by Livina's parents only," said Mama Yuna.

"Don't be like that, Ma. Ardila was still very small and did not understand anything. Mama don't vent Mama's hatred of Alfin and Livina to Ardila, "sosor Arkha disagrees with her Mama's opinion.

"Ardila has also gotten our last name since she was born, for me she is still a princess in this house" Arkha continued.

"It's up to you, Arkha. Mama doesn't care. For Mama the only grandchild in this house is Baruna. He's your future heir, Arkha! As for Ardila, she would never have any rights in this house. Nor will she ever accept him as your granddaughter."

Arkha just shook his head looking at the look of hatred on his Mama's face. The crimes of Alfin and Livina were so deep in Mama Yuna's heart that they left behind a deep grudge.

"Do you know, Kha? Livina has now received karma for all her deeds. Now it's her turn to rot in the asylum!" Mama Yuna sifts.

"Yes, Rendy told me everything, Ma" Arkha said.

"Did Ardila already know about this, Ma?" ask Arkha.

"The bottom line is no" Mama Yuna replied briefly as she opened her plate and began filling it with some kind of food that was served at the dinner table at that time.

"Ardila should not be told about this, Bang. It's not going to be good for her psychic. The child is still very innocent, he will find it difficult to accept the reality of what his mother experienced," between the Pearls took part in their conversation.

"You're right, honey. Ardila did not need to know how Livina was doing at this time. When I said I'd marry you again, she was already very disappointed in me, especially if I told her that Livina was in a mental hospital, Ardila would definitely be even more angry with me."

Arkha took a deep breath.

"After eating, I'll see him. I'll try to explain all this to him" Arkha said.

"I'll be with you, Bang. We will both try to take Ardila's heart, hopefully the child can accept me as his mother as well" Pearl comforted.

"Yes, thank you very much, darling. You are indeed very understanding," said Arkha smilingly looking at the face of his wife who began to fill her plate and also Baruna dishes with rice and side dishes.

"Una, eat it politely huh!" The pearl handed the spoon and fork to Baruna and let her eat by herself.

"Let Oma do the bribe!" Mama Yuna scoops food from Baruna's plate and feeds it.

"Let Baruna learn to eat alone, Ma!" Pearl shook her head when she saw Mama Yuna feeding Baruna and not letting her eat by herself.

"It's okay, Ra. Mama's better off just bribing him,"

"If Baruna is constantly being fed, when will she learn to eat by herself, Ma?" about Arkha.

"You too as a child always asked to be fed. Even up to the sixth grade, SD still prefers to eat if Mama is your bribe," said Mama Yuna and Arkha just smiled chuckling to hear the story of her mother who always spoiled her from long ago.

"Until now I still like to be fed, Ma," Arkha chirped with a smile to look at his wife sitting next to him.

The pearl smiled and understood what her husband meant.

"Does I want a bribe too?" The Pearl slowly scoops the food from Arkha's plate and feeds it.

Mama Yuna could only smile happily watching the affection of her son and daughter-in-law at that time.
