Captives

Chapter 29

A handsome young man with a charming smile coupled with dimples that increasingly make his smile sweet, making many women like him including the students and young lecturers on campus teaching

He is Alexander Leonidas, or familiarly called Leon. A young man from Korea and Java. The typical smile of a sweet Javanese youth plus his face that is more dominant Korean descent, making anyone feel at home looking at him

"Sorry to keep you waiting a long time, sir," said Banyu, who had just stepped down from the second floor, "the usual drama of a newlywed couple." He continued half-joking

Leon chuckled at Banyu's joke, 'it turns out Mr. Banyu is not as scary as the rumors.' Leon is implying

Banyu invites Leon to talk while waiting for Eclipse, until finally the interval fifteen minutes Eclipse down to meet his guests

"Good morning, sir!" Leon greeted with a smile

"Have you waited long, sir?" ask for Eclipses

"No, Mister. It's just maybe I'm the one who came in early in the morning." The reply chuckled

As they were talking, Gendis came with Mela. Eclipse looking at Gendis that looks more ayu than usual. By wearing a dress motifs flowers, as well as hair braided one, make Gendis look more charming

"Include, this is my wife, her name is Gendis" Eclipse introduces, "she is very shy, and rarely speaks, only certain people she speaks with voice." Clear Eclipse

Leon nodded, "good morning, ma'am!"

Gendis only smiled in response

"He is Leon, your teacher is painting" Eclipse looked at Gendis, "are you happy, dear?"

Banyu widened his eyes to hear Eclipse calling Gendis as 'dear', 'besides being a successful entrepreneur elo should be an actor as well, Ge' Banyu membatin

Gendis nodded

Leon teaches Gendis the basic techniques of painting painstakingly, while Eclipse and Banyu sit as spectators

***

The next day, Gendis receives a call from her best friend, who says that she will come to visit. But before that, Gendis will ask permission first with Eclipse

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

Gendis knocked on the door of the Eclipse workspace

"Lake in!" The Cold eclipse

Gendis then entered, she squeezed the end of her casual dress. He wanted to ask for permission, but he was very afraid that the arrogant man in front of him would rampage like a crazy bull

"What's wrong?" Ask Eclipse who saw Gendis just silence while squeezing the end of the dress she was wearing

"Is it okay if my best friend comes here, sir?" Gendis wrote and handed it to Eclipse

The eclipse nodded, and got a blistering smile from Gendis. He was so happy that he finally met his best friend

The eclipse looked at Gendis who was smiling happily, but somehow her heart even felt so sore

***

As promised, Samuel came to visit. When just entering the residence of his best friend's husband, Samuel's eyes were amazed to see the magnificent house like a palace owned by Eclipse

Fortunately Samuel remembered what Eclipse said, so he had no trouble entering the house of Gendis' husband

Seeing the guards and servants neatly lined up to make Samuel mentally shrink, he was afraid that later Gendis would not be friendly with a simple young man like himself

But Samuel's conjecture is wrong, Gendis is still Gendis, a simple sigadist who is always inferior

Gendis was very happy to see the friend who was very much missed had arrived, with a big smile he invited Samuel to sit in the garden, many things he wanted to share with the handsome young man who was now sitting next to him

"How are you, El?" Gendis asked as she glanced at her best friend

"As you can see, Nda," he replied, smiling, "I'm always fine, as long as you are too."

"You've always been good at making me smile with your fist, El." Reply Gendis while pinching Samuel's cheek

"But it always works to make you smile, Nda." Samuel replied

"Yes, yeah, yeah," Gendis said, "how's your lecture, El? Is there already a city girl who draws your heart?"

Gendis cringing

"I regret having taken medical college, Nda," Samuel looked forward, "the task that the lecturer gave me seemed endless."

"Wouldn't that have been your will, El," Gendis looked at Samuel, "Then why do you feel bored now?"

"I used to want to be a doctor because I wanted to cure you, Nda!" Reply Samuel

"I'm not even sick, El."

"I want to heal the wound in your heart, Nda" said Samuel, "I want you to heal from the toxic that someone gave you. And I want when you're sick, I'm the first one to treat you."

"Then keep learning to become a young, accomplished doctor" Gendis cheered, "and the first to heal me when I am sick"

Samuel smiled, indeed only Gendis is able to be a mood booster for him, "are you happy, Nda?"

Gendis stared fixedly at her best friend, why could she ask like that she thought, "As you can see, El. I'm so happy." The answer lies

"Never try to lie to me Gendis Alamanda Maheswari." Samuel was getting serious

"I'm happy, El!" Gendis said with a deep smile, "The Eclipse treats me like a 'Mistress'." Honest Gendis

"Thank God" said Samuel, he knew very well that his friend bore so many wounds. But he didn't want to force Gendis to tell him a story before he wanted to tell his own

"Have you spoken to Sis Eclipse using your voice, Nda?" El asked after a moment of silence

Gendis shakes

"Why, Nda?"

"Come, El!" Gendis stared blankly, "probably from not getting used to it." Continue to smile

"You should try it, Nda!" Samuel said seriously, "let's say how ever Eclipse is your husband"

"Yes, Samuel Gionino Peter!" Gendis replied with a smile, so grateful to have a friend like Samuel who could always make her smile

Samuel and Gendis laughed together, and they were very happy with their moment together. From a distance, there was someone who looked at them with a smile, smiling because he saw Gendis happy, and slicing because what made Gendis smile was not him

"Is that little brat one of elo's rivals?" Tanya Banyu while patting the Eclipse's shoulder

The eclipse was shocked and looked at Banyu

"He's handsome, and he can make Gendis smile!"

"He's his best friend." Bright Eclipse

"Friend? Between the man and the woman there's no real best friend, Ge!" Banyu resolute

"They love each other but they can't have each other."

"Are you sure they can't have each other?" Tanya Banyu seriously

Eclipses are nodding

"Is that sure, Ge?" Banyu assures "love can erase differences, even unite differences. Especially when he does not feel happy with you, of course he will choose to be with someone longer with him and certainly can make him happy."

Eclipse tries to digest every word that Banyu said, it is true that anyone will definitely choose to be with people who can be happy rather than together with people who can only incise wounds

"Gue hope you won't regret it in the future, Ge!" He said as he patted the Eclipse back and passed away

The eclipse again looked at Gendis and Samuel who still looked cool together
