The Estuary of Desire Baruna

Eps. #47 Trying to Find Out

Cigarette smoke billowed along with the smell of coffee that came out from the balcony of a room on the second floor of the Waradana Residence. Baruna sat on a long chair on the balcony, slipping her legs and staring blankly at the garden in the courtyard of her mansion.

The new clock's hands show at seven in the morning. The atmosphere on the balcony was already very bright because the position facing right in the direction of the emergence of the sun.

The morning Eve also felt quite warm, the sun again showed the charm of the light intact and swept away the remains of the dew point that is still attached to the leaves because it was dyed by rain last night.

Baruna took a slow sip of her cigarette, even though her body was in that place, but her heart was nowhere. Her memory is always on Floretta, the woman she loved so much but also made her feel heartbroken.

"Why are you doing all this, Flo?" Baruna rubbed her face rough. Everything Flo said to her felt really tight to her chest. Being unilaterally decided while still being affectionate, really made him feel disappointed.

"I can't believe Flo changed her mind that fast. Why did she suddenly accept her brother's decision to marry Daniel? Is Diaz threatening him?" Baruna was very troubled with various contradictions in her mind.

As the clock ticks, the sun rises. The day was getting late, but Baruna still sat on the balcony accompanied by various turmoil that he was feeling.

Without Baruna noticing, from the balcony of the room next to her, Ardila quietly continued to pay attention to her.

Their room is located next to each other, so Ardila can often see Baruna activities on the balcony. He knew that his sister liked to smoke and sit there alone while having a load of thoughts.

"Pity Baruna. He's so hurt that Flo left him." Ardila muttered, she could also feel what her sister was feeling.

"I also do not believe that Flo can be so fast as to want to part with Baruna, even though their relationship has crossed the line. Did Diaz do something that made Flo suddenly cut off her relationship with Baruna?" That doubt was also in Ardila's mind.

"I'll try to find out about Diaz, I'm sure everything Flo's done has something to do with Diaz."

Ardila snapped her fingers. She assured her heart she would find out many other things about Diaz's life. And she already knew what she was going to do to get a lot of information about the man who was also her ex-lover.

"But what if I run into Diaz and she wants to hurt me again?" Worry again flashed through his heart.

"Ah, I'll just find out about Diaz. I don't need to see him." Ardila assured me what he was going to do.

Ardila hurried to change her clothes and walked out of her house. Of course, neither Arkha nor Mutiara had any suspicions about her daughter, because Ardila had given a reason to go to her campus.

Ardila continued to drive his car amid traffic jams in the city center. He met some friends and visited places he remembered had something to do with Diaz.

Until the day changed, Ardila was finally able to put a smile on her lips. From the information he got from his friends or other people who knew Diaz, he got the address of an auto repair shop that directed him to Diaz's auto repair shop and showroom.

Without a second thought, Ardila immediately headed for the address. He sped up the speed of his car because he had estimated it would take about an hour to get to that address from where he was at the moment.

'Rivaldy Oto Repair'

Ardila stopped her car when she read the name of a workshop that was now in front of her.

"This must be Diaz's workshop. He used his surname as the name of his workshop." Ardila smiled back. Diaz's workshop address turned out to be easily found.

"Sir, is this really Diaz Marvelino Rivaldy's workshop?" ardila asked a receptionist at the front counter of the workshop.

"Yes right, Ma'am. Is there anything we can help you with?" welcome the guest is friendly.

"I just wanted to ask you a little bit about Diaz, what .... could you possibly give me the information I was looking for?"

"What information, Ma'am?"

"Anything, Ma'am. All about Diaz. Where is his house and what is his family?" babble Ardila outlines everything she wants to know about Diaz.

The receptionist frowned. Hearing Ardila's question caused a sense of displeasure in his heart. Of course, the information asked by Ardila includes privacy that has not been careless they can convey to others.

"Sorry, Ma'am. If all that information I do not know," said the recipient was short and a little tart.

Ardila let out a flat breath. "Please, Ma'am. Please tell me Diaz's home address. I'm her best friend" Pinta Ardila.

"Einem!"

Suddenly the sound of a man's dehem was heard from behind the counter, which suddenly made Ardila look over.

"You're here looking for me, Dila?" A man's face poked out from behind the reception lady and smiled meaningfully staring at Ardila.

Ardila was flabbergasted, she did not expect Diaz to be there and knew of his arrival.

"I know you must have missed me so much, so you came all the way here to look for me" Diaz sneered.

"Don't ge-er you, Diaz. I'm just here to ..." Ardila lowered her face. Diaz's presence before him made him unable to continue answering Diaz's sarcasm. Although he always tried to cultivate hatred towards the man, but Diaz's sweet smile was not fully able to forget. After all, Diaz was the first love in Ardila's heart.

Diaz then stepped out of the counter and approached Ardila closer.

"Let's talk in my office! I think there's a lot you want to know about me, right?" Diaz raised her hand and pointed at a corridor leading to her office room which was behind the showroom area.

Ardila did not budge from where he stood. Call Diaz certainly not that easy to follow. She must have been very worried that Diaz might have wanted to hurt her again.

"Hey! Do you think I'll do anything bad to you, Dila?" smirk Diaz. Seeing Ardila who was just silent and put a wry face on him, he knew that Ardila must have put prejudice against him.

"A lot of people are in this office, Dila. You don't have to be afraid of me like that. I won't do anything to you" Diaz asserted, trying to convince Ardila not to be afraid of him.

I don't know why Ardila's heart didn't want to refuse. A friendly smile and all the words of Diaz at that time sounded polite, no one showed anything suspicious, let alone intended to be unkind to him. He also did not want to go home empty-handed. He had come all the way to the workshop, of course he had to get all the information he wanted to get.
