The Estuary of Desire Baruna
Eps. #21 Saving Taste

It's getting dark, it's getting late. The residence of Waradana also looks lonely because the residents of the big house have entered his room and are cradled in their respective sleeping flowers.

From one of the rooms in the house, Baruna looked awake. He sat on the balcony of his room located on the second floor of the house while smilingly staring at his mobile phone screen.

"Thank God Floretta would like to follow my advice not to work as a dancer at that club again," baruna muttered after reading a short message sent by Flo to her and said that she had really not returned to work on the nightclub again.

"After this, I'll help him find another better job." Again Baruna smiled, there was always a different feeling she felt when she remembered Floretta.

"Why am I always thinking about that girl?" Baruna rubbed her face, for some reason the shadow of Flo's beautiful face always flashed across her head. A smile also continued to linger on her lips as she recalled the moments of her encounter with the blue-eyed girl.

"May I fall in love with Floretta?" Baruna. Her heart seemed to flowery as she imagined all the things in Floretta.

"Aahh, I don't know what it's like to be in love. All this time, all the girls I've been with have been just friends for fun." Baruna continued to mutter. It was as if there was an unusual feeling that was filling his mind and he could not deny it at that time.

A few minutes walk, Baruna still continued to sit on the balcony of her room and daydream there. As drowsiness had not yet come to him, Baruna went up from the balcony and came out of her room, about to step into the kitchen to get a glass of milk there.

While passing through Ardila's room, Baruna stopped her steps. "Kak Dila's room light is still on, has she not slept yet?" thought.

Baruna then approached Ardila's room door and knocked slowly.

"So aren't you asleep?" baruna asked when Ardila had opened the door for her.

"Sir is not sleepy yet" said Ardila as he sat back on his bed and hugged his pillow.

Baruna also went up to Ardila's bed and laid her body on the bed and rested her head on Ardila's lap.

From childhood, Baruna and Ardila were very close. They grew up together in the care and affection of Pearl and Arkha. Although they actually have no blood relation, Arkha and Pearl have always kept the truth of Ardila, to their three children, so Ardila and Baruna only knew that they were half-brothers with the same father.

"You yourself why haven't you slept yet, Una?" Ardila now turned to ask Baruna the same thing.

"I can't sleep either, Brother," Baruna replied briefly.

"But I can't sleep! Wong usually you're still hanging out at the club, at this hour!" cibir Ardila while hitting Baruna on the head with his pillow.

"Aahh, Brother Dila knows!" reply Baruna while smiling looking at Ardila's face which also still looks no drowsiness.

"Nobody see what?" Baruna watched Ardila who kept looking at the screen of her phone and then raised her head trying to peek at what Ardila was looking at so seriously on the phone.

Baruna frowned when she saw Ardila glued to a picture of a man's face there.

"Whose picture is this, brother?" Baruna who was curious to see Ardila so focused on directing the net to the photo, then quickly grabbed Ardila's phone and joined to see the photo that was being stared at by her brother.

Baruna gave a rude snort while shaking her head. Although Ardila had already reclaimed her phone, but she had already seen the photo of who Ardila kept looking at back then.

"Why do you still like to look at the picture of that jerk? Is my brother still in contact with him? Or maybe you're still in love, same Diaz?" hardik Baruna with questions. There was a sense of displeasure in his heart once he realized Ardila was still thinking about that bastard man who almost took away his chastity.

Ardila just lowered her face and placed her phone on the nightstand.

"After all, Diaz is Big Brother's first love, Una. Although now Brother knows he is not a good person, but Brother cannot easily forget him," I am Ardila honestly. Indeed, in the depths of his heart, Ardila still held a sense of Diaz.

"Alright, Brother! Forget that bastard. Diaz is a criminal! Brother never again think of that troublemaker's man!" emphatically Baruna is increasingly unhappy that Ardila still harbors feelings for Diaz.

"Criminals? Troublemaker?" Ardila linked the two ends of her eyebrows at the words Baruna said.

"Know where are you that Diaz is a criminal and likes to make trouble, Una?!" ardila joltted with her two eyes that were rounded, because she felt a little surprised to hear the words of Baruna.

"A-I .. I got information from my friends, Brother!" sahut Baruna is looking for an excuse.

Ardila lowered her head again. "For so long, Brother has never known what Diaz's job is. As far as Big Brother is concerned, he is a good man and always the same attention as Big Brother. But it turns out that behind all that, Diaz keeps a lot of mysteries that you never know, Una," said Ardila as she rubbed her face slowly. Suddenly a hue of sadness floated on her beautiful face.

"Never regret a farewell with that evil man, brother! Out there, there are still many other men who are much better than Diaz. Kak Dila is very beautiful, certainly many men are crazy about the same brother," as well as Baruna, trying to comfort her brother and eliminate his sadness.

Ardila just nodded and tried to put a smile on her lips, looking at Baruna. In his mind, what Baruna said was true. He must try to forget Diaz and re-open his heart to another man who is certainly much better than Diaz.

"Oh yes, Una. Do you have an event tomorrow?" Ardila asked and switched their conversation back then.

"Emm, nothing, brother. Why why?"

"Do you want to take your brother somewhere?"

"Where, Brother? To the college?" terka Baruna's.

"Not to college, Una. Tomorrow I have no class." Ardila shook her head.

"Where to, brother?" Baruna asked again.

"Tomorrow you will know for yourself" concluded Ardila just with a smile and does not intend to say where he will go tomorrow.

"Alright, Brother. Wherever you go, I'll take you. After I return to this house, I promise I will always protect Brother. If anyone dares to bother my beautiful sister again, she will have to face me!" able to confident Baruna while returning a sweet smile to Ardila.

She was happy that Ardila no longer thought of Diaz, the man who had almost destroyed her future.
