Bram just kept staring at his wife's innocent face. Hastanto had told him that Gendis was wayward but his daughter was so naive to face the real world.
"I'll make that decision for sure, but not now. Gendis is going to college, when Gendis can be alone without anyone maybe that's the limit I can take it off calmly." murmured Bram with a calm look at a face that only looks partially, partly, the girl who caused pity every time she saw him.
At present, Bram already knows the limits of when he will decide everything after a few days of thinking because it is unlikely that the relationship will continue this way.
His love and dreams belong to Seruni. But, his promise was tied to Gendis. Promise to Hastanto and above all his vow to God.
Bram stopped his hand. He then slightly flicked away some long strands of Gendis hair that blocked off part of the girl's pretty face.
Bram did admit, if Gendis is more beautiful than Seruni. But it was in Serunilah that made Bram like the girl who was only two years adrift with him. Seruni, looks more smart and mature. He can do many things on his own without bothering others including himself.
Bram let out a long sigh, realizing that he shouldn't compare two women who would definitely have flaws and advantages. Two different personalities are even opposite.
"Mas promise, you will get the best, Ndis." said Bram by wiping the girl's forehead. He will give the best education to Gendis.
Bram moved back to his phone. The handsome-looking man with thin feathers on his jaw picked up his flat object and then typed a message for Seruni.
'I'm sorry, Mas Run. Mother held many events maybe during the holidays Mas difficult to contact.'
Bram, know if it will make Seruni disappointed. But, he would explain to the girl at the right time until Seruni understood her condition.

Early in the morning Bram woke up Gendis. The man was used to waking up before dawn. His struggle to achieve the goal of becoming a lecturer is not easy, he needs effort and prayer until his personal form with logic and religion.
"What time is Bram awake? How come, always first?" gendis asked in a slightly quivering voice after putting her face on the small shelf in the corner of Bram's room.
"Hour three." said Bram by pulling the body of Gendis who was slightly shaking because early in the morning, Bram had asked him to shower shampoo.
"That's so early." said Gendis.
Bram sat Gendis in front of the makeup table mirror. He started rubbing Gendis' wet hair with a dry towel.
"It's been used since school. If you want the desire to be granted, said Mother must be a lot of tirakat. So, I always get used to Mas Salat Tahajud." continued Bram painstakingly rubbed the wet hair Gendis because in his room there is no hairdryer.
After reducing a little moisture in his wife's hair, Bram sat on the edge of the bed next to Gendis' seat. The man wearing shorts and a polo shirt took his wallet out of his pants pocket.
"It's for your needs and monthly shopping. If it is still lacking, you can tell Mas." said Bram while handing over one of the ATM cards that already inhabit his wallet.
"Emmm... Can I, Mas? " the Gendis. He still hesitates to accept such responsibility and trust. In fact, it was Bram's decision like this that made Gendis feel like a real wife.
"Learn to manage finances because you don't always just hang and become a figurehead in the family."
"For, Mas, it's not like that, the role of a wife. He's just a teacher. The salary of lecturers is nothing compared to entrepreneurs." continued Bram. That stern face exuded an extraordinary charismatic when talking seriously to the atmosphere around him as if hypnotized by him, including Gendis.
"Well, if you follow, Mas Bram, as it is." - Gendis. There is no reason to refuse Bram. The girl also received a card given by her husband.
"One day you will be someone's wife to the fullest, then you have to play your role as well as possible." continued Bram.
Gendis simply fell silent looking at the man in front of her. He felt that the man in front of him had overturned his feelings.
Bram seemed adept at making himself sure to accept this marriage, but a few minutes later Bram like throwing it away.
"Hi.." Bram's voice broke Gendis' daydream.
"Don't think too much. Let's just say it's a living that's your right and an obligation that I have to do." Bram. explained to Gendis as the girl smiled stiffly at him.
"Let's help Mom in the kitchen, you're my favorite daughter-in-law!" tell Bram to help Gendis stand up. Gendis is still trying to control herself so that Bram does not suspect what he is thinking.
Gendis immediately kept the card that Bram gave her until she forgot to say thank you.
"Don't forget to buy a quota! " excited Bram when Gendis has opened the door of the room and will go out to the kitchen.
Morning is still late afternoon. The atmosphere outside still looks dimly lit with the sound of animals that are mutually unpretentious. But, the fragrant aroma of cooking had begun to be sniffed when Gendis entered the kitchen.
"Sorry, Buk. Gendis woke up late! " gendis said wrongly as her in-laws looked suspiciously at her.
"It's okay, Nduk. You can do this on your own, not a difficult thing." replied Ms. Aaron by paying attention to the moist hair of her daughter-in-law.
"If you are tired, just sit down. Let me do it." continued Ms. Aaron. He understood that a newlywed would lose a lot of time to rest.
"No, Buk. Now Gendis help what?" urged Gendis, although she could not do much but she did not want to leave her in-laws making breakfast by herself.
"You can make coffee for your coffee. This is the cooking just waiting to be cooked."
"You remember, don't you, the dose?" ask Ms. Aaron who once taught Gendis how and how to make coffee.
"Gendis can already, Buk." replied Gendis then started making coffee.
Every now and then, Bu Aaron watched his son-in-law. The woman who was smiling was happy. Gendis are easy to teach and willing to learn a lot about the work in the kitchen.
The atmosphere of the morning in the big house that currently feels alive. The two women told each other even though Gendis still felt uneasy. In fact, Bram who was in the room heard Gendis' laughter which sounded quite crisp.
"Mas Bram, breakfast is ready." call Gendis by opening the door of the room slightly and stick out her head.
Bram got up from his seat, the man walked over to Gendis who was still behind the door.
" It's too early, if breakfast is six o'clock, Ndis. " said Bram as they were in front of the room.
"Said Mom, told to have breakfast because last night we had run out of energy." said Gendis while giggling. The girl closed her mouth so that she would not be heard by her in-laws.
"You're it!" grumbled Bram while shuffling his wife's head then walked over to the dining table.
Maybe, for Gendis it was funny but not for Bram. Sometimes when he saw Gendis falling asleep making something strange arise in him so he chose to sleep in front of the television.
