The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #97 Greatness of the Heart of Genta

Under the scorching sun that afternoon, a car drove slowly amid the dense city road. In the car, Arkha and Pearl and Baruna were heading to the hospital to visit Genta.

Arkha deliberately runs his car slowly because he is holding Baruna while driving. However, the little boy was very henchman while with Arkha sitting in the steering wheel, so Arkha did not feel disturbed at all, he said, he could still focus on regulating the speed of the car even though there was Baruna on his lap at the time.

Baruna's little lips were also always chattering inquiring about whatever she saw to Arkha. The plain speech that came out from the boy's slurred tongue sounded so funny that Arkha never got tired of answering it.

"Una likes to ride in the car, huh?" arkha asked Baruna who was busy watching all the sights along the city road that afternoon.

"Likes, Om. Una vinegar," said plainly the boy while nodding his head.

"From today, Papa will often take a walk in the car" Arkha promised his son.

"Hoyee ..., Una bica dayan-dayan riding obin!" exclaim Baruna girang.

The pearl sitting next to him could only smile looking at Baruna's spoiled manner towards Arkha. Sometimes his gaze collided with Arkha's gaze which always stole a glance at him, thus making him immediately lower his face. The two throw smiles at each other. However, they both blushed in embarrassment. Like two people who just fell in love, there was a little awkwardness that they were feeling.

In addition, Arkha was so amazed to see the change in the appearance of the Pearl that was so charming that it made his heartbeat race faster as their four neutrals combined.

Without feeling they have now arrived at the hospital. Arkha immediately brought Pearl and Baruna to Genta's treatment room.

There, Genta still lay weak, but only the rest of the infusion hose was attached to his hand. His condition was already much better than before, so he could smile kindly as they came.

"Dad ...!" baruna cried when he saw Genta.

Baruna came down from Arkha's sling to approach Genta and kissed her hands longing.

"What's up, honey?" genta asked with a smile and rubbed Baruna's face.

"Una kangen cama Dad," said the innocent boy.

"Father also misses you, son," replied Genta. Without feeling his tears dripping when he saw Baruna was now in front of him.

"Una cama Cayi-cayi's mother Teyus' father but did not meet," I Baruna honest while wiping tears on Genta's cheeks.

"Dad's okay, honey,"

"Have you finished beyantem, like that handsome Om?" baruna asked while looking towards Arkha.

"No, dear," replied Genta also turning towards Arkha.

Arkha stood by Genta's bed without saying a word. Seeing Baruna's proximity to Genta, Arkha's chest suddenly felt tight. He realized that all this time his biological son thought Genta was his father. He felt very jealous when he remembered up to that time Baruna still called him with the call 'Om'.

However, Arkha did not want to protest with everything that was happening before him. He knew that Baruna had not yet understood what had happened, Baruna was still very small to be able to understand everything, so it took him some time to explain to Baruna that he was her real father.

There was no reply from Arkha, he just smiled faintly while nodding his head slowly.

"Bang Genta, how is Brother's condition? Is it better?" Pearl sat on the chair next to Genta's bed while holding Baruna.

"It's better, Ra," said Genta as he turned to Pearl and looked at her face.

"I'm sorry, Ra. I didn't keep a promise to pick you up when you got to this town,"

"Don't say that. I know, you would never break your promise if only this terrible event hadn't happened to you, Bang,"

"There is always wisdom from everything that happens, Ra. If I hadn't been sealed off by my crew, you and Arkha Boss might never have met either,"

"I'm sorry, Bang," Pearl lowered her face, knowing that Genta must have been disappointed with her because she felt she had given Genta hope and promised to open her heart to Genta.

"Ra, Boss Arkha's love for you is very sincere, from now on you should not doubt it anymore,"

"But, what about you, Bang?"

"Don't think of me, Ra. Your happiness means so much more to me. I know you'll never be able to love me, your love is only for Boss Arkha and he loves you a lot too,"

"But, Bang?"

"Rendy told me everything, Ra. After all of Mrs Livina's crimes were exposed, now you know that everything that happened between you and Arkha's boss was just a misunderstanding. You both deserve to be happy, so much has happened, now is the time for you to fix everything and start a new chapter for your love,"

'You're so big-hearted, Genta. I thank you so much for taking good care of Pearl and Baruna." Hearing Genta's words, Arkha who had been silent before finally chimed in.

Genta only smiled then grabbed Arkha and Pearl's hands and put them together before him.

"I strongly believe in the sincerity of your love and Pearl, Boss. From now on you should never be apart again" said Genta.

Arkha and Mutiara just looked at each other and smiled, the great heart of Genta put aside his love for Pearl, making haru now envelop their feelings.

"Una, Om This handsome Papa Una. From now on, Una don't call Om Ganteng anymore huh! Call him Papa Arkha," Genta said with a smile looking at the little boy's face before him and Baruna simply nodded.

"Papa Kaka," cried Baruna while smiling at Arkha. Verily the boy did not understand Genta's intention of telling him to call Arkha 'Papa', but the bonds of blood could not lie, that made Baruna quickly accept Genta's request to call Arkha with Papa's call.

Arkha smiled haru, again the greatness of Genta's heart impressed him. Three years apart, Arkha believes that Genta is still his trusted assistant who is very loyal to him.

"Thank you very much, Genta. You've sacrificed so much for me all this time." Arkha clasped Genta's hand tightly.
