Gendis, Love on the Brink of Boundaries

Future

The drizzling sound still softly echoed the gusts of wind that burst in from the open doors and windows. On the first floor of the house that had many windows, the atmosphere felt quiet. 

Two people who inhabit a minimalist house with trees that grow shady in each yard is still playing with their minds. 

Gendis still enjoys a bowl of instant noodles that are still puffing its smoke on the back porch. Shade towering melinjo trees make the afternoon atmosphere filled with drizzle it looks more evening and humid.

Since fate slammed his life desperately, Gendis chose as much as possible to enjoy the situation.

A pair of footsteps now coming down the stairs, walked up to the woman who longed for the past. A time when he does not think about feelings and many things related to others. His life is about him only.

“Honey..” call Bram when approaching his wife who is sipping the length of noodles dangling from his mouth to his bowl. The smell of the food was even sniffed by Bram.

Bram just came out of his study. The project he was working on with Deska, demanded that it be completed as soon as possible. 

Gendis turned her head towards the tall-bodied figure with a handsome face that made many women not get tired of looking at her. But, not with a fatty, the woman sometimes does not want to see the face of a man who sometimes makes his heart feel tight. That is love, its existence does make the owner sensitive.

“ I've made a bowl of noodles for Mas Bram.” said Gendis without wanting to know the real purpose of Bram approaching him. 

Bram did not answer Gendis's words. He chose to sit next to his wife with a thought that was processing a few words to explain the cause of his wife's attitude that eluded him.  Bram realizes that since Seruni called, Gendis' attitude has changed.

“I and Seruni have no relationship like they used to!” bram. But, there was no response from Gendis.

The little-nosed woman now only stirred up a portion of noodles and a few meatballs left in her bowl. 

“ He is now a new lecturer at Mas campus..” 

Bram's sentence hung, when the woman next to him immediately turned her head, as if surprised by what he had just heard.  Gendis just found out.

“We teach in different faculties.” 

“Although different facutas, but still it will make you often meet.” sela Gendis makes Bram unable to answer. 

Both back to silence. Inexplicably every discuss Seruni Gendis feelings become sensitive.

The sweet-faced woman lost her confidence every time she came into contact with her husband's first love. As Seruni said when they met, if she was Bram's first love. 

“Should have, I had first love.” The voice of Gendis broke the silence between them.

Now, Bram just stared fixedly at his wife with a sad look in his eyes. He knew, if what his wife said was just an expression of his regret. 

“Honey, Mas, hope you understand if it's about our work and future.” Bram hugged Gendis who was still holding her noodle bowl. He also grabbed his wife's head to lean on the chest of his field.

“I don't like that old virgin!” honest Gendis with a soft look.

The feeling of anger and understanding of Bram's position makes him a dilemma. Yes, the future of her family does depend on Bram's work, but on the other hand she feels Seruni is an evil woman.

“ Ssssttt... don't say that! Seruni is not that bad, baby!” 

“I hope you believe in Mas.” continued Bram by rubbing his wife's small shoulder. 

He tried to calm things down in a gentle way. His wife was indeed a spoiled and explosive woman even though when very angry she chose silence with her cold attitude.

Gendis was silent, actually she wanted to say what Seruni was like when she met him. Culas are packed so elegantly. But, she was sure if she said that, her husband would definitely not believe it. 

“Mas, ask yes!” Bram pulled out the leftover noodle bowl that was in Glendis' hands. Bribed it into the mouth for the first time, but Bram's face was straight

red changes. 

“ Hah..hah..drink, Ndis!” bram said while panting heavily withstanding the heat in his mouth. The man who disliked the spicy was barely able to bear the burning heat of his mouth. 

“ I've made for Mas Bram at the table!” said Gendis by offering a glass of water directly gulped by Bram. 

“ Mas think same taste.”

“ You are also not spiciness!” bram continued still with his mouth fan.

“ I want to eat spicy and sour again, which seger-seger so! Moreover, the haw supports.” replied Gendis then took a bowl of noodles that had been prepared for Bram. 

While enjoying noodles that are almost cold, Bram lectured his wife not to eat too spicy and sour.  The two also discussed how to take care of the house when Gendis was in college.

It seemed impossible if Gendis had to take care of her own home, while Bram was increasingly filled with a lot of work.

Seruni walked towards the rector's office, while Deska also came there. The man who became his close friend Bram could hardly believe if Seruni became one of the lecturers at the campus where he taught. 

“ Hae, Des! Long time no see, how are you?” sapa Seruni when the two passed. 

“ I just found out if you teach here!” welcome Deska without answering Seruni's initial question.  

“ Yes, Papa who recommended me to Mr. Rector.” Seruni replied making Deska nod.

Deska understood if the rector of this campus was a friend of Mr. Alwy, besides that Seruni's educational background was also very qualified to become a lecturer at this campus. 

“I guess because you still want to get close to Bram.” shoot Deska directly at the point. 

“ No, Desk! I'm the same Mas Bram purely befriends. “ continued seruni with his friendly smile. He knows that Deska doesn't like being close to Bram. 

“ Oh, thank goodness. That means there will be no scandal on this campus!” continued Deska. The man then said goodbye and returned to his original intention to meet the administrative section. 

Seruni looked at Deska who was getting away from her sight. Everything that was said to the mature brown man was not true, he was still the same, still wanted Bram to this day. 

“ I have sacrificed a lot for Bram, I also can not stop loving Mas Bram. So am I wrong if I still want a man who has filled most of my life story?” seruni Gumam. Whenever he thought of Bram, his heart was broken, but he was also unable to stop loving the man who had already taken some of the feeling in his heart.
