The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #7 Your Name is Segara

Day after day, Arkha still looked very weak because the wound he suffered was quite severe, he felt less comfortable lying on a hard wooden bench, occasionally he turned his back and felt pain all over his body.

"Wear this, Bang!" Pearl could realize that Arkha was uncomfortable with his sleeping position on the bench, then he brought two pillows for her. "Put this on your back, and you'll feel more comfortable!" continued again.

The pearls helped Arkha get up from the bench and put up a pillow to support Arkha's back.

"I'm sorry, there's only two bedrooms in this house, one in my Dad's room and one in mine! You're gonna have to sleep on this bench!" The pearl again helped Arkha lean his body on that bench.

"Again, thank you very much, I've been bothering you a lot!" Arkha started to feel a little more comfortable with the two pillows propping up her scarred body.

"In the shop I have a folding mattress, I'll bring it here later so you can use the bed to make it more comfortable!"

"Not bother anymore, this is enough!" Arkha politely refused.

"Aren't you opening a stall today, Ra?" Imran walked into the room and asked Pearl.

"Yes, I'm leaving now, sir, and I'll get the folding mattress. Poor brother sleeping on the bench he must be very uncomfortable especially if he is injured!" answer the Pearl honestly.

"Ang? ha.ha.." Imran laughed at his daughter's words. "It's only been a few hours you've been out, apparently you're familiar!" he said, from his tone sounded a little teasing.

Pearl chuckled and blushed shyly "I was confused to call him who Sir, he himself did not remember what his name was and it seemed like he was older than me so I just called him Brother!" I'm very plain.

"So you really don't remember what your name is?" Imran started asking Arkha again, and Arkha just shook his head slowly.

"Father found you in the middle of the sea because of that Father will call you by the name SEGARA, while you can not remember what your real name is, you just call your name Segara! do you agree?" Imran stared at Arkha's face which looked confused because he could not remember his identity.

"Yes, just call me by that name!" Arkha nodded in agreement.

"alright, Sir. I'll go to the stall first, I'll come home to bring you lunch!" The pearl kissed the back of his father's hand, saying goodbye as he walked out of his house.

Pearl always wake up before the rising of the sun to sell fish caught by his father who is a traditional fisherman who will go to sea every night and return at dawn. The fish is usually sold in a market not far from the dock. After selling all the fish caught by his father he will continue to sell in a stall owned by him also not far from the dock. Just a small shop, he only sells instant noodles, coffee and a few snacks just to fill his time. Usually the stall will be very crowded when all fishermen come home from the sea just to find breakfast there. But some days the stall is very quiet because no fishermen dare to go down to sea because the weather is not friendly. Rain and storms can come at any time, and the weather is very erratic.

As was the case that day, hardly a single person stopped by his stall. Fishing boat boats are all still seen lined up on the beach because no fishermen went to sea that day.

Pearl had just finished cooking the salted fish and vegetables she was going to bring home for lunch with her Father. But that day he prepared a portion for three people because he remembered in his house that Segara was living with him. He also did not forget to wrap the fried banana which he planned to sell as a coffee-companing snack, but because that day the stall was very quiet there was no buyer, no buyer, then the fried banana he had made was forced to take home to eat it himself with his father.

The sky that had seemed bright arrived again shrouded in cloud and thick clouds.

"It looks like it's going to rain again!" The pearls hurriedly closed the stall and rushed back home. Rantang containing lunch was ready to take him home, not to forget also he brought his folding mattress.

"Come sir, please eat first!" The pearl had finished preparing all the food on the table and invited Imran to eat.

"Bang Gara, you eat first!" Pearl thrust one plate of rice and side dishes to Segara who had returned to sit on the bench when he saw Pearl approaching him.

"I don't know how else to thank you!" said Segara sungkan.

"You are so kind and sincere to help a stranger like me even if I don't know who I am, what if I'm actually a criminal?!" Segara seemed awkward to accept the kindness of Pearl and Imran, he felt bad because it was very troublesome for them.

"Don't think that not first, Bang. Now the most important thing is that you recover quickly and after that you will definitely remember everything again!" firmly Pearl.

"Now eat first. I'm sorry I only cook salted fish, some days you don't go to sea and my stall is also very quiet, my money is only enough to buy rice and vegetables!" Pearl grabbed Segara's hand and handed the plate to him, Segara immediately took it.

Segara looked at the plate of food in his hand, there was rice and a piece of salted fish also sauteed kale inside the plate. The food is very simple and makes Segara even more uneasy, he realized that the life of Mr. Imran and Pearl is very difficult because it only depends from the sea, he realized that the life of Mr. Imran and Pearl is very difficult because it only depends on the sea, the income they get in one day just to meet his life that one day only, if they do not work then in that day they are forced to hold hunger because they can not afford food.

"Eat! why just talk?" pearls awaken Segara from his reverie.

"Aren't you eating too, Ra?" segara asked as he began to scoop up his food and put it in his mouth.

"After you eat, I'll eat!" abugn.

The first time he swallowed the food, Segara felt that there was something a little strange on his tongue, he was not used to such food understandably Arkha was used to living a luxurious life from childhood, the food for a person of her level must be very different. But for a long time he felt the food was full of flavor, there was spicy and salty that felt right on his tongue so he could quickly finish his meal.

"Thank you again, Ra! your cooking is delicious!" Segara gave praise to Pearl while handing back his empty plate to Pearl.

"Is your head still hurting, Bang?" Pearls can see that the pale on Segara's face has now begun to decrease.

"Little! it's just that the pain from this wound is still very pronounced!" Segara looked at some torn and bruised wounds on his hands.

"Later for the painkillers you'll take again, Gara! so you can rest more comfortably!" Imran who had finished enjoying his lunch also chimed in and sat in a chair next to Segara.

Just a few minutes after eating, Segara felt his stomach was very sick, he was not used to such food and his stomach immediately revolted against foreign food that entered his stomach and now feels like twisting.

"I'm sorry if you're going to the restroom!" He cried while walking to the bathroom in the house.

Pearl and Imran just stared at each other.

"It looks like he's the guy Sir, he's not used to our food" Pearl said.

"Yes, I suspect the same thing!" imran Sahut.

Knowing that Pearl undoes her intention to share her fried banana with Segara, fried banana was only eaten together with Imran.
