Eps. #68 Whose Child?

"Where's my sister, Doc? Is she okay?"

Diaz, who received news that Flo had fainted at work, went to the clinic and looked very frantically looking for her sister.

"The patient is conscious and still has to be observed first" explained the doctor who previously handled Flo.

"Can I see him?" diaz asked impatiently to find out about his sister's situation.

"By, please!" the doctor invited.

"Wait, Young Man! I'll meet him with you too!" captain Genta approached Diaz.

"Did you bring my sister here?" Diaz looked at Captain Genta question markingly.

"Yes, I and some of his colleagues who delivered Flo to this clinic," said Captain Genta, pointing to Sinta who was also still in the clinic and waiting for Flo.

"Thank you very much, Captain." Diaz bowed respectfully as an expression of his gratitude because Captain Genta was willing to take his sister to the clinic. Although he was not acquainted, Diaz knew that the man in a black white uniform in front of him was a ship captain.

"Are you his real brother, Flo?" Captain Genta asked as he stared in amazement at Diaz's figure.

"Yes, Capt. I'm Diaz's real brother, Flo." Diaz nodded.

Captain Genta continued to watch Diaz's face. He also nodded his head when he realized Diaz's face was very similar to Flo and both had a dominant face like a bule.

"Well, let's go see Flo now!" Captain Genta patted Diaz on the shoulder and led him into the patient observation room.

Inside the observation room, Flo lay weakly on a white bed. His face looked wet, tears streaming down from his blue bead. Knowing the results of the doctor's examination that stated if she was positive for pregnancy, made millions of feelings raging in her chest.

"Why, Lord .. Why should I get pregnant?" his mind cannot accept.

"How shall I live my day with my stomach growing? Then how am I going to explain to people, if anyone asks who is the father of the baby I'm carrying right now? Will I be able to be a single parent for my son?"

Various questions filled his mind, cultivating worry and anxiety mixed up in his soul.

"God......" Flo touched his stomach and rubbed it slowly.

"Shall I hide all this from you, Bar? I'm carrying your seed, how am I gonna tell you all this?" Tears were pouring down his cheeks, his heart was getting worse. However, Flo had no idea what he could do at that moment.

Chequek!

The patient's observation room door was open. Diaz and Captain Genta rushed over to Flo and each sat on a chair next to the bed.

"What's going on, Flo? Why did you pass out like this?" Diaz held tightly to her sister's hand and looked at her still pale face and seemed to be deeply harboring pain.

"How is the doctor's examination? What pain do you have, Flo .. why are you crying like this? Is your illness severe?" cecar Diaz was curious, because he realized Flo was getting sobbing and sobbing.

"No, Brother," said Flo. "I just ... just .. "frozen Flo's lips can't continue the sentence. Suddenly she was afraid of her brother's reaction to knowing his true condition that he was carrying a seed that was the flesh and blood of someone who was hated by her brother.

"Why are you, Flo?" re-initiated Diaz asked.

Flo just shook his head, but tears flooded his face, even his body to the point of shaking withstanding his cries.

"Say, Flo! What the hell is going on?" Diaz held onto both of Flo's shoulders and helped her sit on the bed. He felt very astonished to see Flo who seemed reluctant to answer his question.

"Your sister's pregnant, Diaz," Captain Genta said. Seeing Flo who seemed unable to tell her brother, Captain Genta immediately revealed everything. He wants Diaz to find out about his sister's true condition.

"What, pregnant?!" Diaz's eyes widened to hear what Captain Genta had said.

"No way, Flo! This is impossible!" Diaz rubbed his face rough and shook his head in disbelief.

"Yes, that's right, brother. I'm pregnant, indeed" Flo said honestly.

"Who's the father of the baby you're carrying, Flo? Did Daniel manage to force you when he kept you in his house back then?"

"No, Brother! Not Daniel. He never touched me at all" Flo looked firmly.

"If not Daniel, then ... " Diaz was silent, he could immediately guess who the man who had planted his seed in his sister's womb was.

Flo still did not answer, but her tears became more unstoppable and more and more so wet her cheeks.

"Aaahh...fearless!" Diaz clucked and immediately stood up from her seat, then turned her body.

His clenched hand, hitting the wall of the clinic room very hard.

"Why should he, Flo? Why?!" screeched Diaz with both of her hands clenching firmly, tears well welled up in her blue eyes. The anger and disappointment so stifled his chest. He really could not accept that the man he hated so much had completely destroyed his sister's future.

"Calm down, Diaz! What exactly happened?"

Captain Genta who had just been silent, tried to calm Diaz who looked very emotional when he found out the man who had impregnated his sister. He also stood up from his seat and walked over to Diaz and patted her on the back several times.

"I'm sorry if I interfered with your personal affairs. If I may know, what really happened?" said Captain Genta tried wisely to respond to the problems facing Diaz and Flo. However, Diaz simply fell silent and did not reply. The tears of his emotions finally dripped from the corner of his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Brother Diaz!" regret Flo accompanied by a hoarse voice held back her sobs. "It's all my fault. I could not keep my honor and just handed myself over to him. That's all I do because I love Baruna so much, sister!" beber Flo honest.

"Baruna??" Captain Genta frowned.

"That rancid boy is indeed the unlucky bearer of our lives, Flo!" Diaz is back. But he himself did not know what to do. Everything has happened outside of his control.

"Are you two coming from town?" asked Captain Genta to try to extract other information from the two youngsters before him.

"Yes, Capt. We have only been on this island for a month" Diaz replied.

"Who is this man called Baruna you mean? Is he the son of Arkha Waradana, the city's most famous businessman?" terka Captain Genta.

"What ... do you know him, Capt?"

"Eee .. yes! Everyone must know him. Arkha is very famous and influential in the city. He's also very generous, isn't he?"

"Ahh, it's all just imaging!" Diaz smiled cynically. "Unfortunately, everyone knows only his kindness. No one knew that the man named Arkha was actually very evil and heartless. I hate him so much. Because he's me and Flo, they're suffering!" it is full of hate.

Captain Genta again frowned. "What are you saying that Arkha is a bad man, Diaz?" asked Captain Genta as he shook his head quickly.

"He who destroyed my papa company and indirectly killed my papa in his cunning way!"

"Destroying your papa company?" Captain Genta's eyes were rounded. "Who are you guys?" he held onto Diaz's shoulders and looked at her face full of curiosity.

"Eee .. sorry, Capt. We're nobody" elak Diaz. So emotional he forgot that they were both hiding his identity and secluded themselves on the island.

Diaz hurriedly turned her face away from Captain Genta's gaze and went back to Flo who was still sitting sobbing on the bed.

"We'd better get home now, Flo. I think you're strong enough. It would be best if you rest at home," asked Diaz, trying to divert everything from Captain Genta.

"Wait, Diaz!" Captain Genta held Diaz's shoulder and looked back at him.

"Tell me who you are, why do you hate Arkha so much?" Captain Genta tried to interrogate again.

"Sorry, Capt. I need to get Flo home soon. Thank you very much for all your concern for my sister" concluded Diaz would like to pass immediately from Captain Genta.

Rushing he helped Flo get off the bed and grabbed Flo to take her out of the observation room.

"Shortly, Diaz!" stop Captain Genta again. "Are you the children of the late Aryo Rivaldy?"

Diaz and Flo gasp at Captain Genta's question. The two stared at each other and simultaneously turned towards Captain Genta.

"Do you know our papa, Capt?" asked Diaz in surprise.

"Yes, I know him and I also know Arkha Waradana well" Captain Genta said.

"If your father is Aryo Rivaldy, then it is a great mistake that you hate Arkha, Diaz. Arkha never destroyed Rivaldy's Company. You misunderstood her!"

"Misunderstand me?" A beaming smile flashed on Diaz's lips hearing Captain Genta's explanation.

"You say as if you already know Arkha!" ketus hardiknya.

"Of course I know Arkha very well, Diaz. I worked for him for decades. The slightest thing about Arkha, I know everything, Diaz!" captain Genta again.

"You ever worked for Arkha?" Both of Diaz's brows furrowed at what Captain Genta had revealed.

"Yes! I was once the Arkha Boss's assistant trust. I stopped working for him for five years. It was all I had to do because I could no longer live in the city and I had to take my family back to my hometown" Genta said.

"Assistant trust?" Diaz was shocked again. His face was flushed and looked very nervous. The world is so narrow. Although he had felt quite safe on the island, but he now felt worried again. With Genta finding him there, it was certain that he could no longer avoid it. Diaz became very afraid that the police would come to arrest him on the island.
