Gendis, Love on the Brink of Boundaries

Reminds

Gendis Pov

I don't know what I'm doing except accepting this marriage. I also can't think about the life I'm going through tomorrow, especially without Papa and Mama. I kind of lost grip even though Papa and Mama always say ‘Whatever happens you have to hold on to God and your religion. How naughty you are, you will not escape his reach.” That sentence that I repeatedly heard until it felt to death I could not forget it.

But when I lost them, I really couldn't think of anything, even if only for tomorrow. How can I live without Mom and Dad when I never go through everything myself. There are always them for me.

I looked back at my face in the mirror. Seeing the bride's makeup still attached perfectly to my face and body. I don't think I'd be willing to believe anything if I was married. Married a man I didn't know very well, a man I didn't love at all. 

“God help me live my life well.” That is the only sentence that I deserve to say at this time to always ask for help from the lover of destiny. Every time, I just need to wake myself up if I'm alone, there's no more Papa and Mama.

Gendis looked at her face many times in front of the mirror. He was reassuring himself if his current status had changed, not only had his status even life changed by a hundred and eighty degrees.

The girl who had been staring at herself in front of the dresser mirror did not realize that her husband had entered the room and occasionally noticed himself while changing clothes. 

“Ehm... ehm... “ little deheman of Bram makes Gendis look down to hide the drops of water coming out of both of her eyeballs. The man finally let out a sound just to make Gendis aware of his existence in the same room.

“Mas will not demand anything from you, Ndis.” Bram said then walked closer to his wife. Bram knows that Gendis has not been able to adjust like he is still learning to be able to accept new status. 

Bram chose to sit on the edge of the bed next to where Gendis was sitting. The man continued to stare closely at the girl who still looked beautiful even though in Bram's eyes, Gendis was still a naughty little girl. 

Bram raised his face that had lowered his index finger. He saw those beautiful eyes still glazed over. Bram knew what made his wife unable to hold back her tears. 

“Now Papa and Mama do not exist in this world. Even so, you are now his wife Mas, so you are not alone anymore. You are the responsibility Mas now.” said Bram by staring at a face that is only a few centimeters from his face. 

“So you have to obey Mas , can not be naughty anymore!” bram continued with a thin smile . Yes, that handsome face can only display a faint smile. But Gendis did not answer.

“Why?” bram asked when Gendis was just pursing her lips.  The man who was now trying to divert the sadness of Gendis also raised his eyebrows, looking for an excuse from Gendis who menggemburak last sentence.

“I'm an adult, Mas, Gendis won't bother Mas Bram anymore.” replied Gendis. He tried to tell Bram that he had changed, unlike a few years ago. 

“ Then smile, dong! A wife should always display a face that bis pleases her husband.“ continued Bram who spontaneously made Gendis smile small. Yes, how happy Bram is when he can make the girl in front of him smile even though she still looks stiff.

“ You should take a quick shower and clean your makeup first. Then quickly go to bed to prepare tomorrow we go home Mom.” 

“ Mas where will sleep? We're not that.. are we?” shivering gendis with feeling awkward. He was forced to ask to ascertain what Bram would do on the night of their bride. Indeed, at this time she is not fully ready to be the wife of a Bramasta Dewangga. 

“You want to Unseal now?” bram Goda. Instantly Bram stopped his foot that was about to step, his tagap body then pointed at Gendis to make the girl who was also already standing away and give distance.

 Seeing Gendis' reaction, Bram only smiled when he saw the anxiety from Gendis's face. Plain. Bram felt Gendis was too innocent by asking such questions. 

“ Therefore do not like dirty picri. If you don't want me to do it then go to sleep before I go back into the room!” tell Bram to come out of Gendis' room. If he lingered on that, Bram himself did not know to what extent he could hold himself back as a grown man. But like what was said to Gendis, he will not sue Gendis because he is also not sure of this marriage.

The dawn began to fall in the morning. Bram was already fresh after the Fajr Salat. The man was used to bathing before his activities. For a moment, Bram girl still quietly hugged her roll. 

“ Sweet and caantik” 

“ Match with his name Gendis Ayunda.”  My eyes just keep staring fixed with the sentence that without him knowing muttered from his lips. 

Bram rubbed his face with a long breath. He began to realize that the charm of Gendis had bewitched him.

“ Ndis, wake up!” call Bram by shaking the tiny body berahan to make Gendis blink his eyes. 

“ Fajr Salad, gih! Then help me in the kitchen. Don't make Mom disappointed because she already thinks you're her dream daughter-in-law.”

“One –one dong. This is it I just collected a life.” Gendis slashed Bram's sentence with a pouting face. 

The girl immediately woke up without waiting for Bram's reaction. Gendis also did not want to disappoint her in-laws who looked so fond of her. 

“Don't forget to shower shampoo.” said Bram stopped Gendis steps who want to enter the bathroom.

Gendis turned towards Bram who was smiling knot. The girl knitted her eyebrows together and stared in full search, as if demanding an explanation of the meaning of the sentence that had just come out of her husband's mouth.

“ Yes, remember if last night our bride.” clear Bram makes Gendis turn lazy eyeball and then go inside the bathroom. She did not think if the thought of a man titled her husband to such a detail to lie.

Bram chuckles at Gendis' reaction. The man then opens the laptop to learn something he will tell his class later after Gendis disappears from behind the bathroom door.
