“I received marriage and marriage of Gendis Anindya bint Arif Anindya with a set of prayer tools paid in cash.” Kaivan uttered the phrase kabul in his marriage in one breath. Which was then greeted with the word “sah” from the witnesses and guests present.
Everyone then looked solemnly praying, as did Gendis. All tastes mixed in her, she is now officially a Wife of “kontrak” for Kaivan.
...***...
“Have doneong... Eyang Putri and Eyang Kakung do not be sad continuess. later messing to Jakarta ya meet Shila.” Shila said as she answered a phone call from Grandpa and Grandma.
After the wedding, Kaivan brought Shila and Gendis to live with him in Jakarta. There is no reason now to leave Shila to Grandpa and Grandma in Semarang again.
While Shila was making a phone call, it appeared that Gendis and Kaivan were talking seriously in the room. “How do you not tell the hell Mas have a maid at home? Get to know Bu Anggi.. uh Mother again” protested Gendis when she just arrived at Kaivan's house. His plan to use a separate room with Kaivan threatened to fail, he could be immediately caught by his family because of reports of his aides.
“Or did I fire her Tiwi mother? We're changing with another maid that I don't know?” proposed Kaivan, he almost forgot the presence of the House of Staircase maid in his home.
Gendis shook her head slowly, she felt sorry if she had to fire Mother Tiwi who had worked for almost 5 years with Kaivan. “Do Not Mas. pity Bu Tiwi.”
“Keep how?” ask Kaivan again. Given one of the contents of “kontrak” both is to prohibit physical contact like husband and wife, which means the use of the same room will also be ‘forbidden’ for both.
“Ya.. would not want to. we use the same room.” said Gendis resigned. Kaivan was surprised to hear that.
“Yes I mean. Let my clothes and belongings be in this room Mas. later every night I will sleep in Shila's Room, later I will always try to wake up earlier than Bu Tiwi, so as not to nimbulin suspicion.” Obviously Gendis was quick, he noticed Kaivan's surprised facial expression.
...***...
“Halooo Sister-in-law? How's it going?” Kaila hugged Gendis. This afternoon he took the time to stop by Kaivan's house after his lecture hours were over.
“How does it feel to be a Wife now?” ask Kaila again while handing over her tent, a box of chocolate donuts favorite Shila, her nephew.
Gendis only smiled faintly in response while allowing Kaila to sit down.
“Do not have a husband? Mas Kaivan must be busy by himself?” guess Kaila when she saw Gendis' expression.
“Mas Kaivan is indeed a lot of his work so lately it is a lot of overtime.” Gendis quickly defended Kaivan.
“Ish..indeed yes mas Kaivan is outrageous.Let me be angry later! You guys don't go honeymoon eh overtime anyway! The time of having a wife of this taste dicuekin anyway! Shila may have a little later with her sister!” kaila still did not want to understand.
“Adik?” Shila who had just finished bathing appeared to run over to the two, and immediately joined in the conversation. Both of her round eyes seemed to be staring at Kaila with focus, her distinctive expression when curious about something.
Kaila seemed to be smiling mischievously as she looked at Shila. “Iya.. baby sister! Shila want a sister?”
Gendis appears to pinch Kaila, giving her a code not to give Shila any strange ideas.
...***...
“Loh.. Has Kaivan returned?” said Gendis was shocked when he saw Kaivan was bare-chested, preparing to dress after bathing, making Gendis reflex turn her body avoid ‘pemandan’ in front of him.
In contrast to Gendis, Kaivan seemed relaxed and continued to change clothes. He did deliberately tease Gendis, who for him looks like a shy little child every time he saw her not dressed ‘complete’.
“Kok You are surprised to see me at Home? I Can't go home?” ask Kaivan to get stuck.
“Eumm.. I think Mas Kaivan is not coming home again tonight.” said Gendis quickly. Indeed, it has been a few days Kaivan did not go home because he had to overtime his office business. Kaivan goes home when Gendis expects him not to come home.
“Iya. My work quickly finished today.” Kaivan said again. “Why do you want to talk to me while turning back? I'm done with the shirt.”
Gendis seemed to turn her body and looked at Kaivan hesitantly.
“You why are people confused so?” asked Kaivan realizing Gendis's facial expression. “Shila don't tell you this hour? You guys haven't slept?” kaivan said as he looked at the wall clock of his room which showed ten o'clock at night.
“Eum.. Shila denied me entry into her room tonight.” replied Gendis hesitantly.
“Hah? How can? Isn't she the most fun sleeping with you?” Kaivan asked confusedly.
“Truly yes Kaila this teaching is strange aja to Shila.” Kaivan said annoyed as he grabbed his phone and rushed to call his sister. “Basic! Call me in reject again with Kaila! Macem sister what is it!”
Gendis looked a small grin, holding back her laughter. Kaivan and Kaila are always funny.
“How does it go? Where do you want to sleep?” kaivan asked confusedly. “I slept in the guest room or the middle room.”
Gendis quickly grabbed Kaivan's arm, holding him out of the room. “Don't Mas. later caught Bu Tiwi even complicated later.”
“Iya also sih.” Sahut Kaivan resigned. Knew gini mending me overtime again deh. sleeping in the Office. The caivan grouse was confused in the heart.
“Eumm... would not want to. I slept in this room first Mas.. tomorrow I just persuaded Shila again.” Said Gendis trying to provide a solution.
Both Kaivan's eyes appeared to be round, hearing Gendis's words.
“I mean.. Kaivan can sleep in a mattress.. I'm below. “ said Gendis quickly, noticing Kaivan's change in facial expression. Clumsily, Gendis grabbed the pillow and blanket from Kaivan's bed.
“Don't.your sleeping time downstairs.Let me.. You're in bed!” prevent Kaivan quickly while trying to snatch a pillow from Gendis.
“Don't Mas. You will have several days of overtime sleeping in the Office, now let's sleep well first in the Mattress.where tomorrow you will work again.” Sahut Gendis while holding a pillow in his hand.
“You will also be tired all day caring for Shila and help Bu Tiwi take care of the work of the House, let you just sleep in Mattress.” Kaivan won't budge.
As a result, the two grabbed each other's pillows, until Gendis slipped into the mattress because they could not resist the force of the pull of the pillow from Kaivan, while Kaivan also fell because of the loss of balance due to Gendis who was pushed back.
The second position at this time was Gendis who had fallen, while on top of her body was Kaivan who had overpowered her. The distance between his two faces was less than a inch. They made the two meet red with shame.
Gendis quickly held her hand towards Kaivan's chest. “Mas.. slide first Mas.” Said Gendis quietly with clumsiness.
Kaivan seemed still dumbfounded looking at the face of Gendis, which he had never seen before in this close distance, and somehow now in his eyes Gendis so looks amazingly beautiful, either eyes, or, his nose and lips look so attractive. Since when did this child grow up to be this kind of beautiful girl. Quietly Kaivan praised Gendis in his heart.
“Mas Kaivan.. slide first. weigh mas!” exclaimed Gendis with a slightly elevated tone of voice because he felt he did not get a response from Kaivan.
The awakened Kaivan immediately got up awkwardly. “Ma.. Excuse me.. Gendis You're okay, right?”
Gendis quickly woke up and sat at the bedside, he tidied his hair that was not because of its shape. “Kalo this way, because no one wants to give up. we both sleep on the mattress just” said Gendis slowly.
“Hah?” kaivan asked in surprise.
...***...
Kaivan seemed to blink his eyes that actually still felt heavy, he said, but because he felt glare with the morning sunlight that entered from the gap of the curtain of his room plus the arm of his right hand tingled and even almost felt like numbness made him wake up.
Slowly Kaivan found a woman with long hair unraveled middle sleeping with her right hand turned into a pillow.
It's fatty! Kaivan's eyes that were still half sleepy suddenly became fresh when he realized the figure beside him was Gendis. He's trying to remember the whole incident last night. Because the two did not want to succumb to each other sleeping on the floor, Gendis proposed that the two sleep on a mattress with a divider of a pile of bolsters and pillows.
But for some reason this morning the two slept in a position like people hugging like this, all the bolsters and pillows were scattered falling down the mattress. Especially considering the tingling pain that Kaivan felt, indicating that the two had been asleep for quite a long time in this position.
Kaivan, who was originally about to pull the hand that was used as a sleeping pad by Gendis, suddenly undoes his intentions when he looks at the face of Gendis who is sleeping. His facial expression was so innocent, exactly the same as when he was a child, it's just that the facial lines of Gendis are now more firm, there are the faces of adult women there.
Staring at the face of Gendis who was asleep made Kaivan can look at him longer, he only realized if the nose bone of Gendis is quite high and sharp, his eyelashes are also flattened, he just realized that if the nose bone of Gendis is quite high and sharp, the shape of his lips are thin and natural reddish in color. Kaivan was secretly confused in his heart, why he only realized it now.
Slowly both eyelids Gendis appears to move, a sign he will soon wake up. Aware of Gendis being awakened, Kaivan quickly closed his eyes again, pretending to fall back asleep.
Gendis who slowly woke up seemed to move her head and open her eyes slowly. The first figure he saw when his eyes opened was Kaivan who was closed. Gendis quickly appeared to retreat and then wake up sitting.
Gendis appears to rub both eyes ensure the view of both eyes, and it is true that it is Kaivan. As Gendis stared at Guling and the Pillow that seemed to be scattered under the mattress, she seemed to let out a long, confused sigh while scrambling her own hair. That means he slept all night with Kaivan in a position to hug each other like that. Feeling that he had to refresh his mind with a bath, Gendis seemed to rush up and run towards the bathroom.
Kaivan, who, though still closed, could imagine Gendis' shocked face as she looked at herself upon awakening earlier, slowly unraveled the smile on Kaivan's face.
