The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #96 Livina's Anxiety

Morning of the same day.

In a famous boutique in the city, Livina looks very satisfied because she has got a branded bag with a high price that has long been sought after.

"Finally the bag that I've been craving for months, today I can take it home" he muttered with a happy smile.

Livina then set her foot toward the cashier's desk to pay for the bag at a fairly fantastic price. With confidence and a haughty smile, Livina handed a platinum credit card to the cashier there.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. This credit card doesn't work, is there another card?" said the cashier at the boutique while returning the credit card to Livina. Many times the cashier tried to make transactions with Livina's credit card. However, transactions always fail.

"Don't work?" Livina rounded her eyes and with her sharp eyes glared at the cashier.

"Eh, you! Don't underestimate me, yeah! My credit card is not a black card, but it has a limit of a hundred million!" ketus Livina while pointing her index finger at the face of the cashier in front of her.

"But I'm sorry, ma'am. Currently this card cannot be used, the transaction fails continuously," said the cashier indifferently while raising his palm and raising both shoulders.

"Try it again!" sergeant Livina.

The cashier then placed the EDC machine on the table in front of Livina. Intentionally to be witnessed directly by Livina, the cashier repeated swiping his credit card several times.

Livina further rounded her eyes. Transaction after transaction that is tried on the card is always failed and on the screen EDC machine always appears the same writing that is 'declined'.

"What's with this card, is the limit up?" livina thought confused.

"I don't think it's possible until the limit, this month I haven't worn it at all." Livina shook her head in disbelief that the credit card limit had reached the usage limit.

During this time Arkha did give a limit on his credit card. It was done Arkha to prevent him from being lazy in his expenditure. However, Livina knew that the credit card limit should far exceed the price of the expensive bag she would buy.

"Maybe there's a problem with the network, ma'am! Can you try again?" pinta Livina still couldn't believe it.

"Once again sorry, ma'am. We don't have any network issues here, your card can't be used. It is likely that this card has been blocked and you should use another credit card or can pay in cash," explained the cashier was not willing to repeat the transaction with the card again.

Livina was getting annoyed with the cashier's indifferent attitude towards her. While lifting one end of his lips, he then took out several other credit cards including his debit card from his wallet. One by one the cards were tried to be swiped by the cashier. However, the result is the same. All the cards are declined, even the debit card is empty there is no balance left there.

"Amu ...! I just transferred cash!" decak Livina's. He felt panicked after all his credit cards did not work.

Livina then reached into the phone from her bag and opened mobile banking there. Again Livina rounded her eyes when she saw the balance in her mobile banking was empty, it certainly made her very upset and also more panicked. Livina was confused and immediately nervous because she did not know how to explain to the cashier that she would not be able to pay for the bag.

"What's this about? Why would Arkha block my credit card and close my account?" grunts Livina was irritated and confused.

"How, Mistress. Is it transferred?" Instantly the cashier's question made Livina even more upset.

"Not yet! I can't pay for this bag yet. I asked to be given two more days I'd be here again to pay for it" he said.

"But many people want this bag, ma'am! If you wait two more days, I do not guarantee this bag you can get, who will be quick he can," indifferent cashier again.

"I said, keep first! I'll definitely pay for it. Don't try to be given to someone else!" peekik Livina was annoyed at feeling underestimated by the cashier.

"Don't you know who I am? I am the wife of the sultan of this city!" he continued, getting tighter and the cashier just shook his head, remained indifferent to him.

Livina left the boutique feeling disappointed. He was very upset because all his credit cards had been blocked and all his accounts had been closed by Arkha.

"Why did Arkha suddenly block my credit card and close all my accounts?" Livina's heart was full of questions and at once she was worried that Arkha had found out something about her.

Livina drove her car slowly towards Arkha's mansion. His mind was very unsettled, anxious and fearful now coming to haunt him.

"Did Arkha know anything about me?" muttered. That question is always in his head.

"From yesterday even Arkha didn't come home without telling me anything." Livina was increasingly unable to contain her anxiety.

From yesterday Arkha had not returned home, and during that time Arkha had no contact with him. However, Livina's mind was trying to divert because it was some time later that they were very often quarreling. So, even if Arkha did not contact her, Livina could accept it because they were not talking to each other.

"Doni ..., why hasn't he contacted me so far? What about the task I gave him, did his men manage to find Mama Yuna?" livina kept wondering. Now he remembered Doni, Alfin's only trusted assistant who was still loyal to him. It was Doni who had been assigned to look for the whereabouts of Mama Yuna after she escaped from the mental hospital before.

Triings ...!

Triings ...!

Livina's phone that she put on top of her car's head unit suddenly rang and Livina quickly grabbed the phone.

"Doni finally called me." Livina felt a little relieved because the waiting finally called her. Rushing Livina pulled her car to the side of the road through which she could more freely answer calls from Doni.

"Yes, Doni. Did you get any information about Mama Yuna," she asked as she picked up her phone.

"I'm sorry, Mrs Livina. I must pass on this bad news to you, Madam," said Doni from across the street.

"What news, Doni?"

"I'm out of town right now, ma'am,"

"Out of town? How could it be, Doni? What about the job I gave you?"

"Once again sorry, ma'am. My men have been arrested by Mr. Arka and his assistant,"

"What's? Caught by Arkha?" Livina immediately rounded her eyes to hear the news delivered by Doni.

"Yes, Madam. And it seems like Mr. Arkha has also found Madame Yuna. My men were knocked out by Mr. Arkha directly while trying to catch Sister Ara," Doni explained telling me everything that happened about his men.

"Therefore, I was forced to flee out of the city, Madam. If I were still in this city, the police would also look for me after knowing I was involved in this case" Doni said.

"But, Doni. If your men are caught, does that mean they'll tell Arkha about me?" Livina became very anxious after hearing the news delivered by Doni.

"Most likely yes, Madam. Because of that as well, this is the last time I dare to contact Madam. After this I will delete this number so that no one can contact me again" concluded Doni.

"But, Doni ...?" livina's speech stopped immediately because Doni had hung up the phone. Livina tried to contact Doni again. Doni's phone is no longer active.

"Arghh ..., shit!" Livina clucked violently, fear and anxiety now could not be hidden anymore, emanating clearly from her suddenly deathly pale face. After hearing what was said by Doni, he was very sure that Arkha had known all his lies so far.

With extreme anxiety, Livina returns to her car to return home. His mind was so stifled that he could not even think what he would do at that moment.
