The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #40 After Two Days Separated

After her two assistants left her apartment, Arkha leaned her body on the sofa.

Arkha let out a long sigh, over a year he had disappeared from the city, and during that time, so many things had already happened.

Arkha grabbed the phone that Genta had given him and slowly opened it.

"A year or so I forgot about this thing, during my time on the island I had no idea of the outside world at all'" Arkha smiled bitterly at a sophisticated cell phone in her hand.

During his stay on the remote island, he never surfed in cyberspace, living in the fishing village was aware of a real life without mixed illusion of virtual world.

The first thing Arkha did was to install social media on his new phone, through one of his social networking accounts, Arkha stalking Livina and Alfin accounts.

"Livina! she looks so happy with Alfin, it seems like my guess is true that they've been in a relationship behind my back?" muttered.

"But she gave birth to my daughter! don't don't don't the baby not come from my seed?" Arkha smiled wryly again.

"No, no! I can't think like that, baby is my son, my own flesh and blood, I took Livina's life that night. After all, Livina had just married Alfin after the baby was born, it was certain that the baby was indeed my son," although Arkha's mind was filled with anxiety, he still convinced himself that the baby Livina was born with was his child.

Arkha continued to browse on Livina's social media account and she smiled again when she got another piece of information. Ardila Putri Waradana, that's the name Livina gave to her little baby.

"Ardila.., a very pretty name, initials Arkha and Livina, means the baby is really my little daughter!" thought.

By nightfall, Arkha had laid her body on the bed. His body felt so tired after a long journey at sea, he had not even had a chance to rest since arriving at the city.

Arkha tried to close his eyes and tried to sleep but the Pearl shadow was always present in his memory.

"Pearl, just a few days apart from you, I've missed you so much, dear."

Arkha touched the bed next to him. The mattress is very soft and comfortable, but feels very cold to him. During his time with Pearl in the fishing village Arkha always felt happiness, even though he only lived in a simple house and slept with a hard and worn mattress, everything felt so warm when with his love.

That night became so hollow for Arkha without the Pearl with her.

"Pearl, I'm sorry, maybe I'll be here a long time, a lot of business to do first."

"In the meantime, I'm going to send Genta to visit you once every two weeks to that village, so you know that I always remember and care for you, baby!"

Although the night was getting late, Arkha had not been able to close his eyes.

****

As with Arkha, that night the Pearl that was lying on his bed was also unable to close his eyes. Segara's shadow is always there flashed in his eye pelupuk.

That night felt so cold without Segara who usually there hugged him. Several times the Pearl turned back her body, but her eyes could not be closed.

Slowly Pearl got up from her bed and stood in front of the mirror looking at her face that looks tangled, since the departure of Segara as if there is no more smile that can be discussed on her sweet lips.

"Bang Segara, just a few days you're gone, Bang. But I have missed you so much" he muttered as he continued to look at himself in the reflection of the mirror.

"May you stay loyal there, Bang. I will always be loyal to you here" he murmured.

Slowly Pearl stepped into the kitchen and took a glass of water.

After wetting his throat and urinating, he returned to his room and immediately threw his body back onto the bed, hoping to sleep after that.

The pearl awoke as the sound of chicken crowing began to sound unpretentious to each other in his ears. He quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom. As usual, he had to go to the market to sell his father's fish.

"Geekkk..!" suddenly he felt his stomach nausea and wanted to vomit, his head was also a little dizzy.

"Aw me why yes, why arrived dizzy and nauseous like this?" be puzzled.

After bathing and changing clothes, Mutiara went straight to the dock and did his routine activities there until opening the stall.

"I heard Segara went to work in the city huh, Ra?" ask one of the fisherman who has been his subscription there.

"Yes, Bang! Bang Segara works at a large company there and will be tasked with guarding the inter-island fishing vessels." replied Mutiara while presenting instant noodles ordered by his customer.

"Your husband is lucky to work for a big company, Ra. Of course the salary is also very large there," said another fisherman and Pearl only smiled faintly in response.

"You yourself why don't you go with him, Ra?" ask the man again.

"Bang Segara will be more in the ocean, Bang. He will very rarely be on land, rather than go with him I would rather stay in this village alone, Bang," said Pearl.

"But you're careful, Ra! in that city a lot of temptations, hopefully Segara is not captivated by other women there, let alone your husband is very handsome and handsome must be a lot of girls who like him!" sip one of them again.

Back Pearl just smiled in response to the sneer of the customer while shaking her head.

"Hopefully Bang Segara is not like that" he said.

It was getting late and the stall was now deserted. The pearls begin to clean up all the area of the stall and wash all the used bowls and cups in the sink. If there is usually a Segara who helps him do all the work, but that day he did everything himself.

Prahaang...!

A glass fell out of his hand and broke into pieces. Somehow he felt his hands so limp and his head was dizzy again.

"Ueekkkk.., ueekkk" while holding his head, Pearl ran to the bathroom in the stall and vomited all her stomach contents, she again felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

"Ra, what's wrong with you, son? are you sick?" Imran who was still in his stall suddenly felt anxious to see his daughter's face that suddenly looked pale.

"No idea, sir. When I woke up earlier I felt dizzy and nauseous, it seemed like I had a cold," said Pearl while massaging her own head.

"Wear this, Ra!" Imran hands the eucalyptus oil bottle to his daughter.

The pearl grabbed the eucalyptus oil from his father's hand and rubbed it on his nape and chest. For a moment, inhaling the aroma of eucalyptus can reduce the feeling of dizziness and nausea.
