Gendis, Love on the Brink of Boundaries

Just once

Bram entered his apartment after a long day on campus. His body felt tired, his brain also felt like it wanted to explode when he was after a day filled with problems that he could not solve at once.

Look sileut tiny body that paced back and forth in the kitchen and laundry. Gendis was washing and cooking.

Bram moved from his seat, he again tried his luck by stepping towards the place where his wife was.

If Gendis had kept him quiet since last night, he hoped that the demon who had coaxed evil upon his wife would have disappeared.

"Ndis.." call him carefully.

Gendis turned to look at the figure who was already standing not far from the table where she was ironing. Especially for all Gendis clothes do choose to iron them yourself. Unlike the others, such as sprays, curtains or other equipment, Bram asked to be taken to the laundry only.

"Mas, want to talk seriously about us." continued Bram. Gendis stopped her work and followed Bram without a word.

Bram had already memorized if his wife was the most good and most comfortable silence people.

"Mas sorry for all the mistakes, Mas." said Bram as they sat at the dinner table.

"Not all mistakes are done with an apology, Mas." replied Gendis calmly, though she was still angry with Bram.

"Mas, know it! But, give Mas a chance for once." welcome Bram with full supplication. He knew Gendis could not be suppressed.

Gendis was still silent, the shadow of several months of living with Bram had loomed with so much detail.

"I've never seen Papa yell let alone hit Mama. I've never seen Papa underestimate Mama even though Mama's just a housewife."

Gendis cried again when she remembered her papa. He was really at the tipping point in his life.

"I'm sorry, Mas, Ndis." Bram said he felt guilty, all Gendis's words seemed to be offensive about what she had done to him.

Bram can no longer speak. His eyes were also teary when he saw Gendis crying without a sound. Her guilt grew and dominated her feelings.

They finally went back to silence. Gendis was busy wiping her tears, while Bram was looking at her with a heart that felt out of place. The mixture of compassion and guilt melts into one.

"Please, Ndis. Give Mas just once the chance to be a good priest for our family." continued Bram in a voice filled with despair.

He felt that there was no hope for him.

There was still no answer from Gendis. The girl no longer knew what to comment on.

"Mas is wrong. Maybe in your heart you say that Mas doesn't know himself."

"Mas won't dodge it, Ndis. But, Mas has decided to prioritize our family." continued Bram.

Gendis looked at the man who continued to speak with a lowered gaze. Yes, the usual eyes were resolute also showed a weakened look.

"What about that woman?" tanya Gendis still doesn't want to see Bram.

"Germany?" asked Bram who he only answered with a nod of Gendis.

"Me and him no longer have a special relationship" said Bram makes Gendis turn to Bram. The man stared at his wife.

"What if she's pregnant with Mas Bram's child?" tanya Gendis made Bram frown.

"You mean?" Bram asked with a face of almost disbelief.

"Gendis, vow by Allah mas not up to it, Ndis." said Bram by trying to convince Gendis.

"So it's impossible if Seruni is pregnant." continued Bram. He kept staring at Gendis waiting for the answer from his wife.

"That means it's close to that?" Gendis immediately moved from her seat. He started walking towards the room.

"Ndis, please! Give it another chance." Bram got up from his seat and hugged the tiny body.

"For so long, I was wrong, Ndis."

Bram hugged his wife's tiny body so tightly. His voice was full of pleading for Gendis not to leave him. In fact, his eyes had already condensed.

"Mas, I'll take a shower and pray Magrib. Adzan magrib has been passed since before." replied Gendis, at a glance he glanced at the arms wrapped around his body.

"Please give me a chance once!" repeat Bram he wants to convince himself if Gendis agrees to his request.

"Yes, we'll start again" Gendis said after a few minutes of silence. Gendis hoped his decision this time was not wrong.

"Thank you, baby." said Bram, kissing the top of his wife's head. For a moment he enjoyed his body clutching his wife's tiny body.

"Just once, Mom!" gendis is full of emphasis. He did not want to be injured so many times.

"Mas Promise." said Bram full of confidence. He really wanted to fix everything and build the perfect family with Gendis.

"We should pray Magrib first, Mas." Bram released his embrace from the tiny body. Truly, the man looks whining asking forgiveness to the teenage girl he used to be a trivial.

"Oh yeah, after Magrib Salat I'll be out for a while, Ma!" gendis.

"Where to Go, Then Inter, yes!" bargain Bram, he doesn't want Gendis out the night alone.

Gendis only nodded in agreement to Bram's offer. The two finally prayed Magrib.

For Gendis there is no harm in fixing everything. After all, his life was also not perfect without his two parents. At least Bram is indeed a responsible man and he also has in-laws who love him very much.

"What's? How dare Bram." angry Mr. Alwy when he heard the story of Seruni if Bram away from him.

Initially, the arrival of Seruni to the house of Mr. Alwy made the old man ask when to get married? But, Seruni's answer that says if Bram avoids it makes Mr. Alwy angry.

He felt that Bram had played with his only daughter who was also his pride.

"Papa, Seruni just wants to die!" his cries began to fill the living room of the luxury house owned by Mr. Alwy.

The man who was now sighing deeply seemed to be thinking of something. Yes, he also already knows, if Gendis Ayunda, wife of Bramasta Dewangga is the daughter of a pensioner from the prosecutor's office who once targeted him.

A piece of his political story began to emerge and made him have to be vigilant. Fortunately, the son and daughter of his enemy did not want to be included in the list of politicians.

"Well, you forget Bram, find a man who deserves you, at least rich and powerful." explained Mr. Alwy by rubbing his daughter's shoulders that still vibrate because of the sobs of her tears.

Seruni wiped her tears. Some days the world is indeed crumbling after the incident of rejection Bram made on him.

Mr. Alwy himself, was busy thinking. What steps will he take to teach the man who has made his daughter cry.
