The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #66 An Unconscious Meeting

Despite knowing that the place is a private area, Pearl still approached the security post there. However, the power of the phone still has to be charged because the destination address is still stored in the short message last sent by Genta on the phone.

"Excuse me, Sir! can I take a ride-charge? my phone is dead" asked Mutiara to one of the well-built guards in a tight uniform showing the muscles of her hard arm.

The security guard did not immediately answer Pearl's request but he instead looked at Pearl from the tip of his hair to the tip of his feet with an unhappy look.

"Bak can read no, it's a private area. Ma'am can't just go in here!" scold the security guard tightly while pointing to the writing on the company's nameplate.

"Sorry, Sir. I know this is a private area, but please allow me to charge my phone for a while. I have to find my destination address on this phone!" pinta Pearls with a slight weld.

"Can't, Ma'am! Ma'am should not go into this area" the security guard said in an increasingly cynical tone.

"I'll beg you for a moment, sir. I also had to book a taxi online with this phone," Pearl pleaded.

Another security guard standing guard in the post could not bear to see the bewildered Pearl. The security guard who had a tall and sturdy body then came to them.

"Pity him, Bon. Just let him in and hitch a ride. Soon it will not matter," said the security guard helped persuade his friend named Bono.

"The boss is here soon, Wan. You know, our boss doesn't like outsiders getting into this area the most?" reply Bono does not approve of the wishes of his friend named Ridwan.

And Ridwan just shook his head while looking at the Pearl who was still wearing a clear face.

"New mother arrived in this town, huh?" asked Ridwan politely to Mutiara, while Ridwan's eyes glanced at Baruna who was still asleep in the Pearl sling, in addition, Pearl also seems to have difficulty carrying two large bags in her hand which makes Ridwan more pity.

"Yes, Sir. I just came from the village, I'm here to catch up with my husband, but the address is on this phone and my phone is lowbat," beber Mutiara remains hopeful that the security guard will allow him to charge his phone there.

"All right, let's go in, ma'am. Please charge his HP in the corner of the room!" take Ridwan while pointing into the room of his guard post.

"Wan, are you sure you let him in? Later seen by Boss, can get angry with us!" sergeant Bono half-whispered to Ridwan.

"Just relax, Bon. It will be nothing for a moment!" sahut Ridwan relaxed as he raised his hand to let Pearl into his guard post and help carry his bag. Bono did not dare to prevent it anymore, because Ridwan's position was one level higher than him, and Ridwan would be more responsible if his superiors were angry for allowing outsiders to enter the private port area.

"Let me charge his HP, Ma'am. And while you wait, Ma'am please sit here first!" said Ridwan asked Mutiara's phone when they reached the guard post.

"Thank you very much, sir," said Mutiara as he handed his phone to Ridwan, then sat waiting on the bench in front of the security guard post that was appointed by Ridwan.

"This is your son, huh, Ma'am? this boy is very handsome," praised Ridwan as he smiled kindly at Pearl and turned to Baruna who was still sound asleep.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you," replied Mutiara returning Ridwan's friendly smile while rubbing Baruna's hair.

For a moment they chat and get acquainted there, Mutiara also took the time to ask Ridwan about the address mentioned by Genta which he would later show.

"Yes, if you take an online taxi the road is not far from here, Ma'am. at least about an hour if it is not jammed," explained Ridwan about the address asked Pearl to him.

"Yes, Sir. If my HP is available, I'll order an online taxi from here!" sahut Pearl was a little relieved after getting information from Ridwan

 Ridwan snatched a quick handy talky at the guard post desk, there was a call heard there.

"Post one monitor!"

"Lake in!"

"RI one slid, portal please open!"

"In copy!"

"Sir, the owner of this company is heading here, Ma'am please wait inside for a moment so that my boss does not see Mbak is here!" pinta Ridwan to Pearl.

Ridwan and Bono rush to open a portal at the post and soon a black Premium MPV is seen entering the harbor area. Ridwan also Bono bowed respectfully and lowered his head, no one dared to turn his head towards the luxurious car that had just entered it.

The car then stopped right in the main lobby of the private port which is located quite far from the main gate security post. The driver immediately got down and stood by the passenger door while bowing respectfully. As the sliding door of the car opened automatically, a neat-looking man was seen descending from there. With his white shirt, gray suit and sunglasses, the man looked very dashing and dignified.

An assistant was also seen descending from the front passenger seat and immediately approached the man in the gray suit.

They are none other than Arkha with Rendy who will review the arrival of their fishing boats in the harbor that day.

For a moment Arkha turned to the security post at the main gate, whether what ties made him suddenly want to see there, so without realizing it his feet stepped closer to the guard post.

"Boss, we have to get in, our client is waiting on his ship!" rendy exclaimed stopping Arkha's steps towards the post.

Arkha glanced at the circular clock in his right hand then nodded his head and turned around.

"Oh yes, we're too late. Come quickly we must meet him immediately!" sahut while following Rendy's quick steps towards the port.

Pearls peering from inside the security checkpoint room could not see clearly who had gotten out of the car.

"The man must be the owner of this company, and he must be very rich and respected, so everyone looked down on him with respect." The pearl murmured, there was admiration in his heart seeing the man.

After Arkha and Rendy enter the harbor, Pearl comes out of the security room while glancing at her cellphone which can now be lit.

"Pak Ridwan, my phone batre is filled enough. I say thank you for the ride" he told Ridwan.

"Yes together, Ma'am Ara," replied Ridwan.

Mutiara started ordering taxis online from her phone while checking back the address Genta had given her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ridwan. My taxi is already on its way here, I'll just wait near the stop and again thank you very much for giving me a ride ngecharge!" mutiara said as she stepped towards the bus stop opposite the guard post.

"Yes be careful, Ma'am. Good luck to the destination." Ridwan still responded politely to Pearl.

Pearl sat at the bus stop and waited for her booked taxi to come pick up. His face looked tired and sweat poured from his forehead. Carrying two large bags while holding Baruna who was still asleep certainly felt very heavy for him.

"Little Prince Mother is heavy now, I can't hold you still, dear," he grumbled as he rubbed Baruna's head that made Baruna wake up from her sleep.

"Dad...! Dad's been dicana, Mom!" Baruna's hand pointed towards Arkha's company's private port.

"No, Honey. Dad is not there, now we are waiting for a taxi that will take us to Dad's house" Pearl explained to her son.

"There, Mother! Dicana's dad!" Baruna continued to point towards that port. Like there is an inner bond that makes Baruna always point to that port.

Pearl just smiled in response to the behavior of the boy who considered it funny and adorable.

"Una thirsty? want a drink, honey?" tanya Pearl and Baruna just nodded. He took a bottle of mineral water from his bag and gave it to his son.

Shortly waiting, a Low MPV came to them and Pearl immediately stood up to the driver of the car.

"Bak Ara, huh?" the driver asked when he saw Pearl coming towards him. The car was an online taxi that Pearl ordered to take her to Genta's home address.

"Yes right, sir."

The driver got out of his car and took all the bags Pearl had brought to put in the trunk of his car.
