The Passion of the Segara
Eps. #99 Arrested by Police

The night was getting late, but Arkha was unable to close his eyes. The shadow of the beautiful face of Pearl always flashed in his memory.

"Pearl, I assure you after this we will not be separated again, we will always be together and live happily," arkha muttered inwardly with a smile imagining a time when they would reunite in a new bond.

"For Livina I couldn't spend more time with Pearl and Baruna. That girl is really fucking shit!" he was furious with the hatred towards Livina that was growing in his soul.

Arkha grabbed the phone he had placed on the nightstand.

"I'll call Pearl, I hope she hasn't slept." Arkha sat there with a longing smile.

Arkha had not had time to press Pearl's number, suddenly a call came into his phone and Rendy was contacting him.

"Well, what's up, Rendy?" Arkha lazily answered a call from Rendy on that phone.

"Police have caught Mrs Livina, boss. Now they're at the police station." Rendy's voice sounded very fiery as she answered Arkha's question.

"really? Wow ..., fast also the police act." Arkha smiled happily.

"Yes, Boss. We'd better get to the police station now!"

"OK, Rendy. I'll be there soon, now,"

"Good, Boss. We'll meet at the police station, right away,"

"Ohya, Rendy. Don't forget you brought all the other evidence of Livina's cheating, including the fake DNA test she made at the hospital,"

"Sure, Boss,"

Arkha smiled again after closing his conversation by phone with Rendy.

"Livina ..., tonight will be over. You'll be in jail with Alfin" Arkha growled with a cynical smile.

Arkha hurriedly replaced the sleeping pajamas he had previously worn with t-shirts and jeans. Without a second thought Arkha immediately took the car keys and left his house to head to the police station.

When Arkha arrived at the police station, Rendy was already there waiting for him there.

"Where's Livina, Rendy?" arkha asked as she walked quickly looking for the entrance to the investigation room because she was impatient to meet with Livina.

"Mrs Livina has been taken to the investigation room, Boss," said Rendy as she walked quickly to balance Arkha's steps.

"Sir ...!" ardila exclaimed as Arkha arrived in the room.

Ardila immediately rushed into Arkha's arms while crying bitterly.

"Papa, Dila same Mama wants to go home with Papa. Don't let the police take Mama to jail" whined Ardila.

"Hiks .., huhu ..." Ardila continued to cry.

Arkha hugged Ardila's body tightly while rubbing her head gently. Arkha then looked closely at Ardila's face. Although now he knows that the little girl is not his biological child, but Arkha's feelings remain the same.

From childhood the child grew up with love and affection, so for him Ardila was still his little daughter who he always loved.

"Yes, Dila Darling. Papa came here indeed to pick Dila up so that he can go home with Papa," said Arkha trying to stop Ardila's crying.

"Well, what about Mom, Pa? Are the police going to take Mama into the room with the cage?"

"Let Papa finish it all, baby!" arkha promise.

"Now Dila wait outside first same Om Rendy, Ok!" arkha said as she turned towards Rendy.

"Come, Dila! Let's just wait outside, yuk! Later Om buy ice cream for Dila," persuaded Rendy and Ardila just nodded not daring to deny Arkha's orders.

Rendy took Ardila's hand and led her out of the room.

Arkha's eyes were now fixed on Livina who sat down while bowing her face in front of the investigator's desk. A hue of anger instantly radiated from his face as he looked at the woman.

"Now you feel all the consequences of your bad deeds, Livina. From today on I'll make sure you'll be in jail for the rest of your life!" arkha growled while pointing her index finger at Livina's face.

Previously, Rendy had indeed revealed all evidence of Livina's lies to the police so that Livina could not avoid all the legal process that would be in her path.

Slowly Livina lifted her face, tears of fear gushing from her two eyes.

"Based on a cunning woman, shameless!" arkha snickered as she flicked her lips and removed Livina's hand from her hand violently. Arkha then gripped Livina's cheeks as well very roughly, and looked at Livina's eyes in anger.

"What did you say, huh? Of love? Cihh ...! The Hypocritical Woman ...! I'm disgusted to hear those words, Livina!"

"Please take me home, Kha. I don't want to go to jail, I'm innocent!"

"After all your lies and crimes you still dare to confess that you are innocent? What kind of woman are you, Livina?"

"I don't want to stay in prison, Arkha. This place must be cold and dirty. I'm not used to living in a filthy place like this, Arkha." Livina continued to whine and plead.

"Once again I beg you, please don't sue me, Kha! I. .., I'm sorry for all my mistakes." Livina tries to convince Arkha and defend herself.

"After what you did to Mama and all your lies to me, do you think that you still deserve to be forgiven, Livina?" Arkha again snapped at Livina and showed the look of her increasingly reddened eyes.

Livina then knelt down holding Arkha's feet while continuing to whine and cry.

"By our son Ardila, please don't imprison me, Arkha!" isak Livina couldn't hold back her crying.

"Our son? Cih ..., Ardila is not my biological child, Livina. He's just a kid you made into a tool so you can master all my wealth!" Arkha grinning. She couldn't stand to hear Livina's lies.

"Does this mean you know everything, Arkha?" Livina shook her head.

"I think it's a waste of time that I have to explain everything to you again, Livina. It's not time for you to pretend in front of me anymore, now be prepared to accept all the recompense for all your lies!"

"No Arkha, I've never lied to you, Ardila's your real son, our son, you yourself saw Ardila's DNA test results with you, everything fits, Kha."

"Devil by that DNA test, Livina! I already knew that it was only your and Alfin's design!"

"Although I knew that Ardila was Alfin's flesh and blood, to me Ardila was still my son, Livina! After I divorce you, I'll take custody of Ardila, the boy is innocent, he doesn't need to know that he has rotten-hearted parents like you!" pekik Arkha is very windy.

"No, Arkha. You can't divorce me that easily, nor can you take Ardila from me,"

"Why not, Livina? You've been convicted of a criminal act, you won't be able to evade. All of that will make our divorce easier."

"Don't, Kha! I don't want a divorce from you. How can I live so hard in that narrow, dark, cold prison, Arkha." Livina continued to scream and cry, pleading for Arkha to drop her charges and release her from the law.

However, Arkha again just smiled obliquely in response. Proudly, Arkha turned her back leaving Livina who still continued to cry roaring and shouting calling her name to ask for forgiveness.

Arkha exits the police investigation room and finds Rendy still sitting in the waiting room with Ardila.

"Dila, it's night, honey. Let's go home!" take Arkha to the little girl.

"Which mom, Pa? Didn't Mama come home with us?" ask Ardila plain.

"No, Honey. Mama has to stay here to account for all her mistakes" Arkha said honestly.

"What's wrong, Pa? Why should my mom be punished?" Ardila cries again when Arkha says that Livina will not come home with them.

Arkha let out a long sigh, he was confused as to how to explain everything to Ardila. Slowly Arkha crouched down equalizing his position with Ardila while smilingly looking at the girl's innocent face.

"Dila, now Papa wants to ask Dila. If Dila does not make PR, Dila is not angry with the teacher at school?"

"Yes, get angry, Pa!" answer Ardila.

"If you make a mistake or lie, are you given the same punishment as the teacher?"

"Yes, punished too, Pa." Ardila.

"Well, because Mama's been lying, so it's appropriate that Mama be punished. I understand what Papa means, right?" Arkha tries to explain slowly to Ardila so that Ardila does not misunderstand him.

"For now we let Mama serve her sentence here. It's night, we have to go home, yeah!" keep Arkha up again.

Although she did not understand everything that happened, Ardila could only nod her head in accordance with what Arkha said.
