Captives

Chapter 46

In the spacious courtyard, sat a middle-aged woman accompanied by a young woman enjoying a cup of tea. The smell of flowers blooming adds a warm impression to their conversation

"Are you starting to like my son, honey?" Henny looked at Gendis who was sitting in front of her

Gendis smiled, "very." He answered while putting his tea cup on the table

"Mama is so grateful to Eclipse to marry you, son," he said

"I should be grateful, Ma," he replied with a smile, "to be loved by him, to make me feel like I've rediscovered the reason to stay in this cruel world." Continues glaring

"Mama hope that one day you can return his love," he said with a sincere smile, "he is a good man, but because of the events of nineteen years ago that made him cruel and cold."

Gendis tried to digest every word Henny said

"His parents were brutally murdered, when he was only nine years old," he said, "from the moment he changed, the cheerful child turned into a temperament and a bereavement. Temporarily angry, he was just being nice with Mama, Papa, Banyu, and his friends

"Since then Mama brought Banyu and Eclipse out of the country, only when their Junior High School returned to school here, when their college returned to England

"Mama is very grateful because now she has changed a lot, wants to return to worship, after a long time she was angry with God for considering God unfair to her

"The coldness and arrogance are slowly fading away, Mama hope you can reciprocate the taste and you live happily." Henny tells the dark story of Eclipses with teary eyes

"Gendis will try, Ma" he replied as he rubbed the middle-aged woman's hand in front of him

The answer of Gendis is like a spring in the middle of the Sahara desert, Henny's tears can no longer be dammed, he cries because he is happy

Gendis got up and sat down next to Henny, hugging Henny to calm her down

***

Henny invites Gendis for treatment and shopping, she wants Gendis to look perfect tonight. She has chosen a beautiful dress in green bottles with a length of only the knee, very contrasted with the skin of Gendis clean white

"Will there be a show later, Ma?" ask Gendis on the way home

"Nothing," Henny replied casually, "just want you to look fresh and not stressed." Continue to smile

Gendis just nodded

Upon their arrival, they were greeted by Yolanda and Rico. Gendis frowned, why are they here, whether there will be an event he thought

Rico and Yolanda take Gendis into the room and start making over, so that Gendis looks amazingly beautiful

Gendis can only resign without bothering to ask. He does not want if later it will be said to ask a lot of questions and not comply with the mother-in-law

While Henny is busy preparing her daughter-in-law, Hendra is busy preparing a romantic dinner for her son and daughter-in-law, they understand very well if her son is not a romantic man who is sensitive to women's desires. So they took the initiative to prepare everything

They prepare a romantic dinner on the beach accompanied by life music, waves and stars scattered will certainly add a romantic impression for both of them

Small candles lined up neatly around her were sprinkling red rose petals that formed the name Eclipse and Gendis

Although Henny and Hendra are not young anymore but for the affairs of romantic-romantic they are the master.

Hendra calls Eclipse so he can get home soon, Hendra thinks that Eclipse can go with Gendis to the beach where their dinner

"Assalamu'alaikum," said Hendra after the phone was connected

"Wa'alaikumsalam, what's up, Pa?" ask Eclipses directly to the point

"Later five o'clock you have to get home, son" pinta Hendra a little pushy

"I don't think you can, Pa, maybe seven o'clock. Because now Ge is in Bogor meeting"

The instantaneous Eclipse made Hendra's heart become cloudy, 'but it could still be seven o'clock, he came straight here' inner Hendra

"What's wrong, Pa?" ask Eclipses for not getting an answer from the Papa

"Nothing, you'll just go straight to the address you sent me!" answerable

"No need, now continue your meeting, Assalamu'alaikum" he said

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Eclipse then disconnected his phone to continue his meeting

Hendra immediately informed his wife that Eclipse could not go home first. Henny was very disappointed, because she wanted Gendis and Eclipse to go together, but no matter if Gendis could be driven there, Henny thought

The clock half seven Gendis already looks very graceful and elegant, with a dress wrapped in green bottles and heels that adorn the legs, and thin makeup that looks natural, don't miss the hair Gendis only braided one by Rico

Featuring a graceful and elegant figure of a beautiful girl, Gendis walked down the stairs with the help of Yolanda and Mela

All eyes were on the figure of the beautiful girl who was walking gracefully, Hendra and Henny gawked at the change of her daughter-in-law

"That's amazing!" praise Henny as she clapped, she walked over to her daughter-in-law, she looked from the tip of her hair to the toe of Gendis, "perfect!" he continued to be amazed

"Is there a show, Ma?" asked Gendis who could not hide the questions that had revolted in his mind

"Nothing, dear," Henny replied as she rubbed Gendis's shoulders, "now go, Mela and Max will take you!" continued

Gendis can only resign and obey the will of his father-in-law, Max drove his car after Gendis sat in the passenger seat and Mela sat next to Max

After Gendis left, Hendra immediately contacted Eclipse so that he immediately returned home, but until the fourth call Eclipse did not pick up the phone

"Maybe you haven't finished the meeting, Mum!" said Henny

"But I told you that seven o'clock must be there!" Hendra was a little upset

"Let's call Banyu, Mas!"

Hendra then called Banyu, but until the ringing of the three phones never answered, "why no one picked up my phone!" growled

"Maybe it's not over, Mom," Henny tried to calm her husband down, "he's definitely coming, you know that our son never breaks his promise."

***

Hendra had already explained to Max about the location they were going to before. Max drove his car at a speed splitting the traffic jam at night

After passing through traffic jams for approximately thirty minutes, now they pass through a fairly quiet and slightly dark road due to lack of lighting to the beach

However, suddenly two jeeps chased them by continuously shooting towards their cars

Dorr Dorr Dorr

"Astaghfirullohaladzim, who are they, Max?" ask Gendis who is starting to get scared

"I don't know, Madam!" he answered by increasing the speed of his vehicle

"Mrs should hold on tight!" said Mela who still thinks of Gendis at a time like this

Dorr

One shot right hit the rear wheel of the car driven by Max, making the car look good. Max tried his hardest so that the car he drove could still be balanced

Dorr

Braakk

One more shot hit the left wheel, and actually made the car that Max was driving and then hit a tree on the side of the road
