My skin

Part 7's

We're not in love with each other

While in the room Ares immediately release his hand. Gendis was surprised because the attitude of Ares who arrived was not semesra earlier.

"We don't love each other. There's a feeling I have to take care of." Ares.

Gendis just lowered her head. The sound of the Adhan indicates the prayer. "It is time to pray. Brother Ares can my brother be my priest to pray isha." asked Gendis. Although he was disappointed with Ares' words. He must continue to pray as a Muslim.

Gendis immediately went inside the bathroom and passed Ares who was unmoved from his place. Gendis took the wudlu water even though her tears were almost spilled. But he must persevere and remain strong in the face of reality.

"Sir Ares. Please take water wudlu. I'll prepare the prayer." Said Gendis with a smile.

Ares had to pray. The man had not done what his Lord had commanded. Makes his heart suddenly feel distant. But since Gendis invited him to pray, the emptiness in his heart slowly filled. Ares went into the bathroom and immediately fussed.

When he came out of the bathroom, Gendis had already prepared a prayer mat for him.

"I'm sorry I didn't bring the scabbard." Ares.

"It's okay, Brother wearing trousers is good enough." Gendis Sahut. Ares nodded.

They both started praying. Although Ares was not skilled enough in reciting the verse of prayer. But it was good enough for Gendis to praise him.

At the end of the greeting, Gendis immediately raised his hand asking to crucify Ares' hand. At first Ares was reluctant, but Gendis kept waiting. Finally Ares reached out his hand and shook hands like a Muslim. Gendis smiled and kissed the back of Ares' hand with reverence.

"Sir Ares. I can still go to work tomorrow right?" Ask Gendis.

"Hem, it's up to you. And I told you before. You are your own. Whatever you do is yours."

"Thank you." Gendis. Ares breathed a long breath and moved from the top of his alphabet. Gendis immediately folded her face and tidied the prayer mat. Then save.

Ares did not go directly to the bed but to the sofa in the room. While Gendis directly berselonjor on his own mattress.

"Tonight, I can't do anything like newlyweds' night. So I'm gonna sleep here."

Gendis immediately raised her face, even though her heart felt disappointed. But what she could do, she also had to respect her husband's decision. As a good wife she had to accept it until one day she changed her mind.

"Well, I get it." Gendis nodded her head. Then he turned off the lights and prepared for bed.

Ares looked at Gendis from the sofa. After feeling very sleepy, he fell asleep on his own.

At one third of the night, Gendis will wake up and perform the night prayer as usual. He saw Ares who was soundly asleep on the sofa. His legs bend because the length of the sofa does not match the size of Ares' body that is too high.

Gendis felt sorry for Ares' position like that. But he could do nothing but give her a blanket so the man wouldn't get cold. After that, he went into the bathroom and left.

Before performing the tahajud prayer, Gendis glanced at the man sleeping on the sofa at a glance. In his heart he prayed. 'Hopefully one day her heart will open and accept her as a wife entirely.' After that, he performed the tahajud prayer and taught.

There was an early morning prayer roaring through the loudspeakers in the mosque. Ares is moving uncomfortably. Especially his legs are bent. There was a faint sound of the voice of people teaching. Ares opened his eyes.

In his heart, he could not help but praise him. Besides the devout muslims. She is also a good woman. Gendis immediately ended his teaching and was about to perform dawn prayers. Looking up at the sofa, Ares woke up.

Gendis immediately closed the Qur'an and kept it. "Sorry brother, if my voice wakes you up." Gendis.

"No. It's dawn."

"Yes. Oiya, usually papa will go to the mosque near here. Ares wants to pray in a mosque or just at home?" Ask Gendis.

"I'm not used to it. I pray at home."

"All right."

Ares immediately moved from the sofa to the bathroom. After the accident, he changed his clothes with a long white T-shirt and black trousers.

"Let's get started." Ares. Gendis.

The two of them performed the dawn prayer together. Ares felt like he was back on the right track. Finish performing dawn prayers. Gendis went out of the room to help Mama Sinta cook in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

By the time it was seven and a half, all the dishes were on the table. Gendis said goodbye to taking a bath because her body had been sweating due to being in front of the stove since dawn.

"Hem, all of you invite Ares to come down for breakfast together." Sinta.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Gendis, after saying his greetings, gendis immediately passed towards his room.

Inside the room, Ares was busy reading the email sent by his secretary. The man should still take his leave for a week but feel there is less if just stay quiet. So he had his secretary send some files through email messages.

Tok to tok. Gendis knocked on the door before entering the room did not forget to greet anyone who was in the room.

"Assalamualaikum" said Gendis. Along with opening the door.

"Getishalight." Ares said the greeting that Gendis said.

Behind her veil Gendis smiled. There has been a slight change from Ares' attitude which usually looks cold and flat.

Ares took a quick glance then continued researching his email. Gendis immediately went into the bathroom because she was very sticky. Finish shower. Gendis is a little ornate. Ares looked at Gendis who was sitting in front of the makeup glass.

"Gendis." call Ares.

"Yes sak." said Gendis still wearing a robe but not wearing a veil or veil as usual because he had to apply cream skincare first before starting his work.

"Aren't you sultry wearing clothes like that. Moreover, you always cover your face tightly. Just eyes left." Ares asked with his long-buried curiosity.

Gendis smiled at a glance then shook her head. "I feel calm when I wear it. After all, dressing like this will preserve my dignity as a woman." Gendis answered simply but made Ares feel proud.

Ares nodded. After gendis used her scinkare she immediately wore a veil not to forget also wearing her veil.

"Sir Ares. Mom and Dad are waiting for us to have breakfast. Let's go downstairs." Gendis.

Ares immediately hung up his phone and moved from his seat. The two immediately went out and down the stairs. Then they went into the dining room. There was already Sinta and Vano waiting at the place to eat.

"Good morning pa-ma." Sapa Ares's.

"Getishalight." Answer Vano. Ares was stunned for a moment then he repeated it with a greeting.

"Assalamualaikum" said Salam Ares.

Vano smiling. "Come with Ares. Let's just start breakfast." Take Vano despite his dislike for Ares to use the western way.

Gendis immediately took the rice and the side dish and he placed it in front of Ares. Then take Ares' plate and fill it with rice and side dishes for himself. That is the life of the Vano family every day.

"Son Ares. This is all Gendis' cooking."

Ares smiled then turned his head towards Gendis at a glance. He also felt proud that Gendis could cook. "Yes ma." said Ares.

The family started their breakfast. After finishing Gendis and Sinta immediately tidied up the dirty dishes and put them in the sink. Ares and Vano headed to the central room. Sinta immediately brewed tea to accompany the two of them who were chatting.

"You still have time off, right?" Tanya Vano started the conversation.

"Yes pa. Planned for a week." Reply Ares. Vano.

"Papa just wants you to enjoy your time off with your honeymoon." Vano said frankly.

"As for that, I haven't thought about it."

Vano immediately gasped. "Why not? You are a new couple. It is better to have a honeymoon. Your mom used to do that, too. Yes, ma." Vano said, When Sinta arrived, he immediately asked for his wife's approval.

"Ih, papa what the hell." Sinta felt embarrassed if his youth was revealed.

"Here you go, you're still on leave. Use your free time with your honeymoon." Vano said firmly.

"Pa, it's not good to force people's will. Sorry for Ares." Said Sinta looking at the stubborn and pushy Vano.

"Ga what ma. It should be." Ares smiled.
