The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #9 Has Not Received Information

It was getting late and Pearl had finished cooking her lunch. He put all the food into the bushel to be taken home for lunch with his father. Segara remained waiting for him there and helped Pearl close her stall.

The two of them walked home together.

On the way home they met a woman who looked at them with a question mark.

"Pearl, tumben you're the same way man, Ra, who is he?" the woman asked as she raised one end of her lips staring at Segara.

Pearl seemed nervous to hear the question of the woman who was one of the neighbors next to her house. For several days Segara stayed at his house, Segara never went out of the house because he had not healed from his wounds.

"Ee...aa.ii..ini.this is my distant cousin, Sister Lis, she just came from the opposite island, her name is Segara!" pearl replied while trying to hide her nervousness.

"Not usually any of your brothers come here, Ra? you used to say you didn't have a cousin?" Asked the woman who used to be called Sister Lis again, she looked very curious. Sister Lis continued to look at Segara from the tip of her hair to the tip of her foot.

"Aaa..yeah I actually have a distant cousin, Sister Lis, but all this time she's lived in the city, so it's very rare to be able to visit us here!" pearl is lying.

"Why are there so many scars on your cousin's hands, Ra?" Mbak Lis still continued to ask and Segara just kept silent without reaction while lowering his face because Mbak Lis continued to look at him with question mark eyes.

"Yes..he had an accident, fell off the bike!" back Pearls lie looking for reasons that would make sense. And Sister Lis just nodded but still looked up raising one end of her other lip and looked at her doubtfully.

"Yes, Sister Lis, I'll go home first, I'll have lunch for you!" Pearl immediately pulled Segara's hand and invited him home.

"Such a question I will definitely hear a lot after this!" muttered the Pearl in his heart.

"Father hasn't come back yet, if Bang Gara is hungry let me prepare lunch for you first!" The pearl put its food on the table.

"I'm not hungry, Ra, just wait for Mr. Imran to come home and then we eat the same!" answer immediately while sitting on a long bench in the middle room where he usually sleeps.

"Sit here, Ra! I'm gonna have a chat with you!" her door.

The pearl then sits on the chair next to Segara.

"You're so young Pearl, how old are you now?" asked Segara while staring at the young face of Pearl that looks still very innocent.

"My life will be twenty years next month, Bang!" she replied with a sweet smile that always stuck to her lips.

"Aren't you in college?" ask Segara again.

"Late Junior High here is so grateful, Bang!" The pearl scrunched his forehead.

"Schools are very far from this village and exist until SMP only. High School is only in the sub-district city, and I'm grateful that I was able to go to school there until graduation, as long as I went to high school I stayed at the home of one of the brothers there!" Pearls start long storytelling.

"Oh.. There is only SMP here, right?" segara asked briefly.

"Yes, that's not all can go to school until graduation, Bang, especially women. All the women here are still young in marriage. Bang. Even many of my friends who already have two children, and some who already have three even hehe...!" The pearl chuckled while showing three fingers before him.

Pearl was indeed a jolly girl and her speech was very crowded. If he gets one question maybe the answer Pearl can be two or three more than the one who asked him. Nevertheless Pearl is a girl who is very polite to others, although she talks a lot but she never likes to talk about others let alone nyinyir against anyone, he said, she was a very friendly girl to everyone.

"What do you do for a wedding paw, Bang? I still want the same Father, pity you live alone, after all there is no Mother I have been used to living together with the Father alone!" katilah.

"Where is your mother, Ra?" Segara still continued to ask, the crowded answer from Pearl's innocent mouth made him feel comforted.

"Mother died of illness when I was a kid, Bang!" now that Pearl's answer sounded short, he then lowered his face and looked sad to remember his mother who was gone.

"Sorry, Ra! I didn't mean to make you sad!" Segara looked back at the Pearl who was bowing her face.

"It's okay, Bang. Mom's been gone a long time, I'm used to it without Mom!" The pearl raised its face and smiled back.

"Then Bang Gara himself guess how old he is? If I look at the fact that Brother is quite mature, if I think the age of Bang Gara now maybe around twenty-six years that's it!" now it's Pearl's turn to ask Segara and thought wrong, but Segara just shook his head to hear Pearl's question.

"Come away Ra, I don't remember at all!" he answered while rubbing his forehead slowly. His scar was still clearly visible on his forehead.

"If I guess the hell it looks like this Segara Bang must have been married and could have had children too!" back Pearl just guess.

"Definitely Brother's family is also very worried about Bang Gara at this time?" Pearls are still trying to guess.

Segara only responded with a smile and a headband, he did not remember who he was.

Wmm.....!

Outside there was the sound of Mr. Imran's motorbike entering his yard and Pearl rushed out to meet him. After parking the motorbike, Mr. Imran immediately handed over some bags of groceries to Pearl.

"Give this to Segara, you buy some clothes for him, pity he wears the clothes of Mr. Small all!" his orders to Pearl while walking into his house. For several days Segara did wear clothes belonging to Mr. Imran who looks tight when worn because it is too small for the posture of the stocky Segara much larger than the thin body of Mr. Imran.

"Here you buy some clothes for Bang Gara, try it first, Bang, easy to fit!" The pearl then handed the bag containing several pieces of the man's clothes to Segara. He grabbed the bag from Pearl's hand. "Thank you so much Mr. Imran, I really have been very troublesome Mr!" he said very sad.

"What information did you get in town, sir? Is anyone looking for Bang Segara?" Pearl could not wait to hear the story from her Father.

But Mr. Imran just shook his head. "Mr didn't get any information! There was a down internet there is a fiber optic interference, you can not see the news online and GSM network is also very bad, there is a wind p*ting pickaxe a few days ago there and made the GSM tower fall!" the answer.

Imran's face looks lethargic and there seems to be disappointment because it has been far away to the city of sub-district but did not get the information he was looking for.

Hearing the story of Mr. Imran Segara then sighed softly. There was disappointment and there was also pleasure that he felt. He was disappointed because he still had to try to remember who he was but behind it, he also felt happy because at least for now he could still stay there because he was very worried that he was a police fugitive.

"I'm sorry I have to be a burden on this family!" Segara lowered his face.

"I can't remember who I am yet, please let me stay here for some more time until there is information about me, or my memory has returned again." Segara covered both his hands on his chest, his tone sounding clear.

"Don't be too shy, Segara! Father and Pearl never mind you staying here. It's just that you feel sorry for you, if you notice maybe you are the one, but right now you have to live simply with us here!" Mr. Imran holds Segara's shoulder and keeps smiling looking at him.

"Father will continue to try to find out who you really are, Segara, and you don't worry too much about things, you have not fully recovered at this time. As long as you stay here, you'll think of you as your own son, so let's just say we're your family too!" wise speech that makes the heart of Segara shady, he seemed to really find the meaning of a family in the house.

"Then let's eat now, I'm actually hungry but Bang Gara asked to wait for Father to come home, so we can eat the same!" The pearls interrupted their conversation while preparing the dinner table, and the three then ate together.
