The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #62 Tantrums

The sun had set and the night was filled with stars.

Genta sits in the living room and looks still fun playing with Baruna. That night was the last night Genta was in the house because tomorrow morning he had to go back to work on the ship, so Genta wanted to spend the night with Baruna.

The little boy was very happy to be accompanied by Genta who could always compensate him for playing anything while occasionally telling stories so that Baruna did not want to be separated from him. Genta is very fond of small children and he is also smart to attract the attention of Baruna so that the boy is very sticky with him.

"Una, it's night, honey. Let's go to sleep!" bring pearls to his son.

However, Baruna just shook her head, "beyum wants bobo. Want to cama Dad," said the boy innocently.

"Tomorrow you have to go to work, Una. Father must now rest first," said Pearl again still persuaded that her son would follow her orders.

"No. Want bobo cama Dad," said the little boy again.

"It's okay, Ra. Later let me put Baruna to sleep," interrupted Genta while continuing to play with the little boy.

"You should leave early tomorrow, Bang!" mutiara reminded Genta that tomorrow he has to leave the village again to work.

Genta only responded with a smile to the Pearl's words. Genta then moved to embrace Baruna and took her to his lap.

"Una, we're bobo now, yuk! I'm sleepy" whispered Genta in Baruna's ear, kissing her cheek.

As if there was magic coming out of Genta's mouth, the boy immediately complied, his hand pointing towards Genta's room, and asked Genta to bring him to sleep together there.

"Una want bobo in Dad's room?" tanya Genta and Baruna just nodded their heads while continuing to point towards the door of Genta's room, and Genta immediately carried the boy towards his room.

The relocation house they occupied did have two bedrooms, so Genta and Mutiara got rooms each one room separately.

Pearl just shook her head looking at Baruna's spoiled behavior towards Genta. His little son was so close to Genta that Mutiara refused to forbid Baruna to sleep with him, moreover, that night was the last night Genta was in the house before tomorrow left him to go to work on a new ship.

Mutiara remained seated in the living room, for a moment she thought back to Genta's offer to take her to the city.

"Baruna is very close to Bang Genta, am I going with him to the city?" thought.

Pearl continued to fondle his decision, but until then he still could not decide whether to come or not to go to the city with Genta.

Mutiara realized that after Genta moved to work, Genta would be more rarely able to return to the village, and certainly Baruna would miss him even more. Seeing Baruna who was so close to Genta, there was a desire to be ready to join Genta to the city, but he was also still afraid when he met Arkha there. Pearl worried that if Arkha finds out that Baruna is his son, Arkha will definitely take Baruna from him.

"No, Arkha cannot take Baruna from me" he murmured.

Pearl long enough to daydream alone in the living room of his house, for a moment he remembered his son who might have fallen asleep in Genta's room.

The pearl moved from her seat and peered into Genta's room. Baruna seemed to have fallen asleep in Genta's arms and Genta was asleep, but the lights in the room were still on. Pearl slowly entered the room and pulled a blanket to cover the body of Genta and his son and turned off the lights in the room.

Pearl stepped into his room and that night he had to let his son sleep with Genta again. Since Genta returned Baruna always slept there and Mutiara slept alone without his favorite son.

It takes about thirty minutes to arrive at the port using an ojek.

"I'm sorry I woke up, Bang!" regret Pearl. He felt guilty letting Genta pack himself up before leaving that day.

"Don't worry, Ra. It has all my needs you prepared from yesterday," said Genta.

"Later, when I get to town I'll call you back, Ra. I hope that by then you've changed your mind and will follow me into town!" firmly Genta reminded of his wishes that had not been responded to by Pearl.

"We'll see, yes, Bang," replied the flat Pearl, doubt still lingering in her heart.

"Ra, you keep this, yeah!" Genta handed an envelope to Pearl.

"If you want to follow me to the city, this money is enough for your supplies during the trip," continued Genta.

The pearl grabbed the envelope from Genta's hand, "well, thank you, Bang," she replied.

Every time he would go to work, Genta always gave money to Pearl. Genta always meet the needs of Pearl and Baruna, he knows the results of Pearl stalls are not much, not enough to meet his daily needs.

"Well, I'm leaving now, the ojek I ordered is waiting ahead!" continued Genta as he stepped out of his house followed by Pearl.

"Jaga Baruna is fine, Ra!" exclaimed Genta when he was on the ojek he was riding while waving his hand to Pearl and Pearl just nodded while replying to the wave of Genta's hand.

After Genta left Mutiara immediately went into Genta's room, to see Baruna there. The boy was seen getting up and sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes and sobbing.

"Dad, Dad" cried the boy, crying.

"Dad's gone to work, honey. Now Una's the same mom at home, yeah!" persuade the Pearl while lifting up the body of his little son.

"Dad, Father" Again only that word was shouted by his son while pointing at the exit of his house.

"Una's coming to town, come with me. Come!" exclaimed the boy as he slit his body down from the Pearl sling and ran to his front house.

"Follow Dad!"

"Follow Dad!"

The boy immediately cried screaming because he did not see Genta in his house.

"Baruna dear, Daddy's gone, Una's with Mom, yes!" Pearl tried to calm her son, but Baruna dropped her body on the floor and rolled around while shouting to call Genta and crying screaming.

"Oh, this kid's tantrum is coming out again!" sulk Pearl.

Baruna will always be like that if he does not get what he wants. A boy of his age is very natural to go through such a phase.
