The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #76 Started to Discord

It was very dark, the clock was already showing at ten o'clock in the evening.

Arkha can speed up his car on the main streets of the city because the road is quiet enough as he passes.

It's been two weeks, Arkha's days are always monotonous, every day he always comes home late at night, his busy at the office forced him to be overtime and late to arrive home. In addition, he must also monitor the development of the state of Genta and also his search for Pearls that until then had not yet produced results, all of which took up quite a lot of time.

However, in the midst of all the busyness and turmoil at that time, there was one thing that made him always want to smile.

"Why do I miss Baruna so much?" Along the way Arkha thought of Baruna, the cute boy who had managed to steal his heart.

"Why can I forget! I once promised to bring a lot of toys for him" he said, patting his own forehead.

Arkha rolled her eyes glancing at the clock on her wrist, "it's been impossible this late that I went to the hospital and met Baruna, they must have rested, I mustn't bother them, '" she murmured.

Without feeling the four wheels that brought him home now rolling in his yard.

Arkha hurriedly entered the house and saw that Livina's sour face was already welcoming him.

"When are you going to keep coming home this late, Kha?" grin Livina. There was a dislike look on Livina's face to see Arkha who came home late every day so rarely pay attention to her and also Ardila.

"I'm busy! My work is so much" said Arkha coldly without turning to Livina.

Ever since the Pearl was alive, Arkha's heart could no longer pretend to love Livina. All this time she kept trying to open her heart back to Livina, which is why she always tried to understand all of Livina's actions and approve of her every wish. But now all his feelings have changed. Everything Livina did felt wrong in her eyes.

"Vin, there's something important I want to talk to you about!" arkha exclaimed as she threw her body on the sofa of the middle room.

"It's late, you should rest first, tomorrow morning we talk" Livina said, taking over Arkha's suit and laptop bag.

"No, Vin. We need to talk now, it's important!" Arkha. Livina then sat down next to Arkha and looked at her tired-looking face.

"Ehmm.., as important as anything, Kha. Until it can't be delayed?" Livina looks confused by Arkha's attitude that is starting to change towards her.

"This time I will not cancel my plans to take care of Mama in this house, Vin," Arkha said.

"What?" Livina widened her eyes and was very surprised to hear what Arkha had just said. There was a question in his mind, how could Arkha go back to discussing it, whereas previously he had agreed to keep taking care of Mama Yuna in the hospital only.

"You're not kidding me, are you, Kha? Then who's gonna take care of Mama here?" reject it while showing dislike for Arkha's decision.

"This time I'm very serious, Vin. Mama's condition is now much better, and you also do not have to worry, at the hospital Mama already has a private nurse who suits her. I'll bring the nurse here, too,"

"But, Kha. What about Ardila? you want our daughter ridiculed by her friends?" Livina continued to resist and look for excuses.

"Scoffed?" Arkha raised one end of his lips, "that's just your excuse, Vin! where's anyone ever mocked her, it's all your bullshit, so that I don't bring Mama into this house, right?" sosor Arkha with a sinister smile looked at Livina.

"Arkha! on what basis did you say I never liked Mama? You know, if the real Mama never liked me, she never approved of our marriage!" look Livina with her voice that gushes like the roar of a turbo engine.

"Don't look for a scapegoat! Mama doesn't like you, it's because you're alone, Vin! You're the one who can never take Mama's heart," Arkha growled with her index finger pointed at Livina's face.

"You're too selfish! you're only concerned with yourself!" arkha continued with her eyes that began to turn red.

"Your staff accuses me like that, Kha!" hardik Livina while grunting annoyed.

"Accusers you! You're saying I'm accusing you, Vin?" arkha asked grinning, then she got up from her seat and pulled Livina's arm.

"You see, Vin! watch yourself in this mirror!" Arkha brought Livina to stand right in front of an antique decorative mirror in the corner of the room.

"What have you given me and my mom all this time? What, huh?" ketus Arkha reiterated his condemnation.

"I know you never really loved me, Livina! you're just a materialistic woman, you're only here for my money!" accuse Arkha again with a smile of disappointment. Arkha had realized that Livina had only been using herself to get everything she wanted.

Livina stood petrified in front of the mirror without daring to stare at her reflection, Arkha's words like lightning in broad daylight snatched her racing heart. After remarrying and living with Arkha, Arkha's last two years have never been so angry with him. Even if there is a small quarrel, Arkha is finally forced to apologize because Livina will always treat herself as a victim and make Arkha subjugated to him.

"Why did you suddenly say that, Kha. What's my fault that you're so mad at me?" livina asked full of theatrics, even though she knew the cause of Arkha's anger at her. However, he still pretended to be innocent.

"You don't have to play drama anymore, Vin. I already know everything!" arkha exclaimed with an aura of fury still painted in her eyes.

"Like it or not, I'll still bring Mama back to this house, because this house is hers!" Arkha re-emphasized her desire while turning her face away from Livina.

"Arkha, listen to me! You can't just accuse me for no reason like this!" livina retorted in self-defense.

"I'm lazy to fight with you, Vin! I'm tired, I want to rest" said Arkha, turning his body to go to his room.

"Wait, Arkha! We're not done talking, you haven't listened to my explanation." Livina pulled Arkha's hand and held back her steps.

"There's nothing more you need to explain, Vin! I don't care about all your bullshit!" arkha snapped as she continued her steps leaving Livina alone in the room.

Livina again threw her body on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

"What does Arkha know about me? why has his attitude changed so much towards me, and why was he so angry?" Livina grumbled with millions of questions stuck in her head.

"So he said that Mama's condition has improved, lest Mama can tell Arkha everything?" Suddenly Livina's mind becomes very chaotic, she is very afraid that Arkha has known all her lies.

"Oh no, this should not be allowed. I had to do something," he muttered with his face turned frantic, there was fear in his heart when Mama Yuna was healed and could already tell Arkha all about it.

"Mama Yuna, I have to get rid of that crazy woman forever. Otherwise, all my plans could be ruined! Arkha would definitely kill me if she knew all about my secret, "Livina was increasingly unable to hide her anxiety, she was so scared when she found out that Mama Yuna's condition had improved, she was worried that Mama Yuna would uncover all the secrets of her crimes.
