The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #14 Difficult Choices

"Yes.we'll just get them out of here!" the screams of the people there increasingly sounded boisterous, they all cheered and gave a curse to Segara and Mutiara. The hate speech from Togar has incited the people there to believe that they have just committed immoral acts. Togar continues to curse and accuse other dirty things about Segara and Mutiara so that the residents are increasingly provoked by his anger. In addition, residents also feel restless because they know Segara and Mutiara have been living in one house even though they are not a married couple.

Blake....!

Bluk....!

Some people even threw stones at Segara and Mutiara, and they could only cover their faces with their hands, the stone inevitably hitting their bodies.

"Wait first! Stop it, this is all not right, this is slander, we're not doing anything, this is all a misunderstanding!" Segara again shouted loudly trying to find a defense, but the residents who had been incited even more cornered them. Residents then dragged Segara and Mutiara while continuing to shout out dirty words judging them.

"Please stop! we're not wrong, again this is just slander!" Segara and Mutiara continued to shout in self-defense but the residents no longer heeded them and continued to drag them to be taken to the village head's house.

"Excite them! drive away!.. hahaha...!" Togar was stunned because he had managed to instigate the citizens, a sly smile full of victory was on his lips.

"This is because you rejected my proposal, Pearl! I'm so lucky to get a chance to get back at you today! now that you feel the anger of the citizens yourself, I'm very satisfied to have taught you a lesson! ha.ha..ha..!" batin Togar increasingly widened to see the citizens who fiercely dragged Segara and Pearl in front of him.

"Stop! release them!" a man shouted loudly and confronted the residents, before they reached the village head's house, it turned out that the village head had gone to the scene first, one resident reported to him immediately when the commotion began.

"Brother brothers all please, we must not be vigilante, do not be easily incited, we must first find out the truth!" the village chief spoke wisely and tried to calm the anger of his citizens.

"They both have done something that defames and worries our villagers, sir! we better get them out!" the screams were shouted by the citizens.

"Silent brother please be patient for a moment! do not be easily provoked by emotions, let's solve this in a family way! let me first ask Mutiara and Segara why they can do such an act here!" the village head continued to try to calm the people, and finally they were silent for a moment, the atmosphere suddenly quiet.

A resident who had dragged Segara and Mutiara and threw them violently in front of the village head until they fell on the ground.

"Ra, you're okay, right?" Segara lifted the grimacing shoulders of the Pearls as his knees were injured and bled as he fell to the rough surface of the ground due to the citizens pushing him.

"Not what, Bang! You're okay too, right?" whispered, he was also worried about the state of Segara.

"Well, I'm fine, Ra!" sahut Segara lirih.

They both felt quite daunted by the anger of the citizens who attacked them with scorn in a tubi, their bodies trembled in fear of being mixed with annoyance.

Slowly both of them wake up and stand near the head of the village which is now in the middle of the crowd.

"Pearl, Segara, would you please explain what really happened?" the village chief began to forcefully ask them.

With a trembling body holding back all his feelings of fear, Mutiara and Segara then told all the true events to the village head, and the village head nodded in understanding.

"It's all a lie, sir! they were just trying to cover up their disgrace. I witness all their despicable deeds! They've been troubling our citizens here" Togar said. Seeing the village chief believing the Pearl story, he again tried to instigate.

"Enough, Togar! You don't have to incite anymore. Let me solve all these problems!" the village chief stopped Togar's words.

"You all disperse now! I will take them to his house. Imran sir should know this matter!"

Soon after, the people dispersed in an orderly manner from there. The head of the village immediately took them to his house to meet Mr. Imran.

"What is this, what has my daughter done?" Mr. Imran who was just about to go to sea was immediately excited when he saw his daughter and Segara returned home with Pak Head of Village.

"We'll talk inside, sir!" bring Pearls.

They went in and sat in the living room. The Head of the Village began to tell all the problems that were happening to Imran.

Despite feeling innocent, Mutiara and Segara could only silently bow their heads without speaking a word.

"I have great faith in Pearl and Segara, sir. They couldn't possibly do such a despicable thing." looked Mr. Imran, he became very furious at the citizens' accusations against his daughter. Mr. Imran is very aware of the daily life of Mutiara and Segara who are like siblings, of course they cannot do things as alleged by the villagers against him.

"I also don't want to believe the allegations, Mr Imran! As a respected person in this village I hope you must immediately solve this problem yourself." said Mr. Head of Village.

Mr. Imran is indeed one of the people who are still respected in the village, before he had served as the village head there before the current village head.

"What do you mean, sir?" Mr. Imran looks confused.

"The country is not Mr Imran's biological child, right? although he is still a distant relative of Mr. Imran, but Segara and Mutiara are not muhrim and should not live in one house, everyone will consider it adultery. That's why all this time our citizens always gossiped about them! As long as they are still living in the house, the scorn of the citizens will always be there, they are troubling the status of Segara and Mutiara relationship is not clear!" The Head of Village confirmed the word.

"Then what should I do, sir?" fawning Mr Imran again.

"There are only two options, Mr Imran!" yells. "The country must leave this village or Mr. Imran married him to Pearl, so the citizens will not give any more scorn to them!"

The deg...!

Segara was immediately stunned to hear the word said Mr. Head of Kampung, his heartbeat seemed to be stifled for a moment hearing the choice crammed about him.

How could he marry Mutiara. whereas he himself does not remember anything about his identity, whereas if he had to go, he would go where, all still very ash in Segara's memory.

The pearl was also seen bowing its head and there was a clear ferocity emanating from its face. He also felt faced with a very difficult choice, he did not have the heart if he had to expel Segara from his village in a state he could not remember who he was, he did not have the heart if he had to expel Segara from his village, but to marry Segara is very unlikely for him, Segara lost his memory, and it could be that he actually already has a wife. Pearl does not want to be the third person in the life of Segara.

Mr. Imran could only sigh deeply, what a very difficult choice for him.
