Gendis, Love on the Brink of Boundaries

Disputes

Gendis smiled wryly at Bram's camouflage reasoning, "how can a person who has betrayed his marriage talk about sin and reward?" gerutu Gendis was annoyed. He wanted to go to bed immediately and did not want to prolong this debate.

For Gendis everything has to be fair. Everything has consequences. If you don't respect others, don't expect others to appreciate it.

"You're not jealous, are you?" chirp Bram, instantly make Gendis face instantly reddened. The heat swirling seemed to boil all his nerves when he felt his feelings read by Bram.

"Is that true?" bram asked curiously as Gendis fell silent with her face flushed red. At first the question was just an ordinary speech, but it turned out that Gendis took it seriously.

"What's on your mind, Mom? Just feel like the only man in the world?" scowl Gendis, all she could do was still desperately cover up her feelings.

The girl pulled a blanket to master. He doesn't want to continue the debate tonight.

"The answer to the question, Mas, Ndis." urged Bram who was increasingly curious when he felt Gendis avoid the question.

"Answer, Ndis!" Bram as fast as lightning immediately ambushed Gendis, holding his wife's small shoulder that would lay on the bed.

"I hate you!"

"Yes I hate you." repeated Gendis with great emphasis.

"Hik hik..hik.." until finally the cry of Gendis began to sound. The girl could not hold back the tears that came out. The feeling he had been enduring had already broken through the defensive boundary blindly.

Bram was shocked to see the unexpected. He was only fixated on his thousands of questions about why Gendis was crying so much.

"Ndis..don't cry!" lirih Bram's.

"Mas, just ask. Not forcing you to answer." Bram said, but his question strongly urged Gendis to answer immediately.

Bram rubbed his trembling back at the cry of the girl next to him. She also felt shocked, not expecting that Gendis would cry hysterically like this.

"Ndis, don't cry. It's in people's homes." whispered Bram as he clenched his wife's head to provide calmness.

Hearing Bram's last sentence, Gendis started to wake up and stopped her crying. He also pushed the chest of Bram's field away.

He did not want Om Rendra and Aunt Halisa to know the condition of his household. Sometimes he still sobbed, his hands gently rubbed his face because of tears. Meanwhile, Bram just looked at him with the look of an unknown eye.

"I am not an educated person like you, but at least respect what you have sworn to God, Mas." said Gendis without wanting to look at the face of someone who realized to look at him so deeply. His heart seemed to be tired of holding everything back.

"At least you're looking after your family, it's not right that you include another girl in your marriage. Although, you love him."

"Even though you don't want your wife, don't love your wife. But, cherish its existence." - Gendis. This time he stared at the man next to him. His teary eyes seemed to describe how much his heart ached right now.

Bram was unable to say anything, his tongue felt like he was lying without saying a word. Guilt surged out so intensely, as if freezing his entire nerves. He did not expect that Gendis would be hurt by everything that had happened.

"Mas, I'm sorry!" the words spoken by Bram, who broke the silence between them after a few minutes, were both immersed in a heartbreaking silence.

"I really want to split up. But, I don't know how.." honestly Gendis so softly. But for Bram, the phrase seemed to push him to the bottom of the deepest abyss.

That sturdy shoulder instantly decayed, as if his entire strength had also escaped by itself. In fact, the look of the firm eyes was glazed to condense in both corners. He just didn't expect it.

"Is her marriage really on the verge of breaking down?" the question that continues to whack in his mind but cannot be spoken.

Gendis pulled out her blanket and threw herself in bed, without a care Bram who was still stunned looked at her with a pushy look.

The tired girl closed her eyes, even though the drowsiness had disappeared somewhere.

The atmosphere of the room became quiet, although the lights were still brightly lit. Bram looked at Gendis who was clenching her eyelids, even though the girl was still fully conscious.

Bram POVs

I just saw the sadness of Gendis' beautiful eyes. I used to find those eyes sparkling beautifully when I looked at me.

It seems I've made a mistake so far. And what I didn't realize, it turned out that deep I hurt him, so I didn't realize that figure had changed much.

God, it turns out I made a mistake too far. A mistake that didn't cross the slightest in my estimation. I think everything can go according to what I think.

I can keep Gendis in a marriage relationship. And marry Seruni after Gendis can already be alone. But, it's not that easy.

I married that teenage girl. Dulcet. That means she's my wife. All the protests she just threw seemed to wake me up if she was my wife. Someone I not only protect but also appreciate.

Why is everything so complicated? Meanwhile, many dreams that I built with Seruni. She is the figure of the wife who is in my ideal of Adult, she will be a companion who can keep up with me. Smart, he must be able to make my children later become smart children with high adab and intellectual. And I feel like we're always in one world.

Bram let out a weak sigh, he shifted his position and pulled his tired body back down.

Continuing to look at Gendis who was on her back, the man continued to ponder what he had missed.

Bram worked on his sticky eyes as his hands touched the figure lying next to him.

Empty, his hand felt no one next to him until the man woke up.

Gendis no longer exists. But, his phone still lying on the nightstand made him feel relieved.

He came back shocked when the clock showed at five in the morning, which meant he was a bit of a bad luck. In fact, he also realized that last night he was still wearing the shirt he had worn yesterday.

Spring, Bram went straight into the bathroom. He'll take a shower and then pray Fajr.

The morning began to shine. The atmosphere looks bright. Gendis who had helped Aunt Halisa prepare breakfast was also decided to return to the room to prepare for home.

Slowly, he again opened the door of his room so as not to attract the attention of the people inside. But, in fact, Bram who had cleaned the dirty clothes bag also turned his head when he knew his presence.

"I've done it, Ndis." said Bram, making Gendis just nod. He immediately took his phone to check the condition of the battery.

'Can we meet'

A message from a foreign number made him wonder who the sender was. Gendis did not answer him immediately but the tiny hand opened the sender's profile photo. And it turns out that girl.
