Captives

Chapter 61

The expanse of fields and rice fields that stretched wide, with green crops, became a greeter when Gendis returned to Malang

He missed the atmosphere of his hometown so much, it felt like he had left the place where he grew up for too long. His eyes swept over the presented scenery, a feeling so cool and peaceful

Along the way he did not even fade his smile, his childhood shadow seemed to run around to bring him back to that time, a time when all felt easy and beautiful, even though only living with his grandparents

The eclipse smiled knotly looking at his wife who looked very happy. While Dion looked at his daughter from the rear-view mirror with a difficult look, there was longing, sadness, disappointment and anger there

"Are you happy, honey?" Ask the eclipse gently

Her husband's question made Gendis turn her gaze aside, "of course!" replied Gendis, but at once his face turned sad when remembering the person he missed the most, which became the place where he returned already in the lap of the divine

Eclipses stared at his wife's shady bead that turned mellow, "what's up?" ask her

"I miss my grandmother, but now she's gone." He said with a clear grain that began to fall

The eclipse drew his wife into his arms, "let the grandmother be quiet in God!" The eclipse tried to calm his wife by gently rubbing her shoulders

Before long the car they were riding in was perfectly parked in the courtyard of the house of Gendis. The house that was always clean, now becomes unkempt with grass that grows everywhere, even spread to the terrace of the house

The flowers that once thrived in the yard of the house, now withered even many who have died because no one took care of them. The floor, filled with dust and cobwebs, became a scene that sliced through Gendis' heart

While Dion stared pity with the house that had been inhabited by his daughter and in-laws. He who lives in a pool of property is inversely proportional to his daughter who lives all mediocre

They then rush to clean the house first, Gendis is in charge of cleaning the kitchen, her husband is cleaning the rooms, while Mr. Encup is busy cleaning the yard, and Dion is cleaning inside the house. They are all solid teams when it comes to cleaning

"You don't have to bother like this, Mom, Dad!" Said Gendis disinclined because he knew that his husband and father never once held the equipment to clean

"Well, he's doubting our abilities, Dad!" Reply to the Eclipse by glancing at her in-laws

"We men are ready to help the troubled woman!" Dion chimed in proudly, "didn't he, Ge?" Next glance at the daughter-in-law

"That's right, Dad." The answer is proud

After feeling clean, Gendis immediately cooked the food he bought while on the road earlier. His hands deftly wash, cut vegetables, cook side dishes for them to have dinner later

The finished eclipse, leaning against the wall and folding both hands, looked at the wife who was busy with her cooking. He walked up to his wife, then

Grep

Eclipsing his wife from behind, he leaned his chin on her shoulder

"Darling, stop bothering me!" Gendis said without looking, she was too puffed with the masculine aroma of perfume worn by her husband

Instead of answering, Eclipse even more tightened his embrace, he breathed deeply into the soothing aroma dickered his wife's neck

Gendis turned to face her husband, her hands pulling her neck down and kissing her lips briefly

"I have to cook, Father and Mr. Encup must be hungry!" His speech then turned around to flip his fried chicken

"I'm hungry, want to devour you now!" Eclipse right in his wife's ear

"Darling!" Gendis is getting upset

"All right, all right, ma'am!" He said ending his prank, "what can I help you with, Madam?" he continued asking

"Nothing, Sir! Better take a shower!"

The eclipse saw a pile of utensils in the dishwasher tub, he walked over and started washing dishes one by one

"Darling, let me!" Prevent Gendis

"But....."

"I can do the dishes, because I see you often!" eclipse cutting off istrainy's speech

All this time he felt the touch of dishwashing soap, but he felt happy because he could enjoy a romantic moment of cooking with his wife

Dion, who had done his work in the kitchen to get a drink, but his neutrality caught the romance of his son and daughter-in-law who were cooking together, his heart immediately wet, he remembered the moments when cooking with his wife first

The Flashback

"Mas let me do it!" Said Anggi while grabbing a knife in the hands of her husband who was cutting onions with tears

"But I want to help you Dek!" push Dion

"Yes, I did the dishes instead of cutting onions while crying, how will the snot fall on the bottom?" He joked

Finally with a heavy heart Dion washed his wife's used cooking utensils. After everything is ready they then eat the results of his wife's cooking along with full of warmth and laughter

Flashback Off

Dion did not feel the net dewy when he remembered the memory with his wife, the woman he loved the most

After they finished cooking and all had taken a bath, they gathered at a simple dinner table at the house of Gendis. She invited Mr. Encup to take food first, then she took rice and side dishes for her husband, then her father, after which she took food for herself

All eat processed Gendis with voraciously, Dion devoured everything his daughter took, he remembered the taste of this cuisine exactly the same as Anggi cuisine. Suddenly his heart was in pain

***

The next day as they were getting ready for the pilgrimage, suddenly came a woman with the stature of a dampal hugging Gendis with tears streaming down the river

"How are you, Nduk?" Said the woman after releasing her embrace

"Thank God be good, Bude!" Answer Gendis politely

The person was Bude Sri, a neighbor of Gendis who took him to work in Jakarta first

"Can you talk, Nduk?" Bude Sri asked in shock as she had only first heard Gendis's meek voice

Gendis nodded in response

"Gendis has recovered from her childhood trauma, Bude," said Eclipse, he then extended his hand to Bude Sri

"Alhamdulillah!" Bude Sri was happy

"Oh yeah, Bude! Recognize this is my father, and if this one must have known bude!" Gendis introduced her father

"Dad?" Bude Sri was shocked

Gendis nodded, "yes, my grandmother asked me to find my father in Jakarta, because of a misunderstanding that set us apart!"

Bude Sri was increasingly unable to stem her tears, she cried hugging Gendis, "you can finally find your happiness, son!" His words were interrupted by crying

After that Mr. Encup drove his car through the streets that are still covered in fog to the cemetery
