In the Darto mortuary, there were already Damar, Eser, Sevket, Ozge, and Darto's neighbors who were finally notified by Damar. It was done because he wanted to apologize for all the mistakes his father had made in his life.
Eser was getting more agitated, until 10 am, Gendis was not yet known. Sevket and Ozge who do not know that Gendis left can only keep the question in their hearts. The two still could not bear to find out through Damar directly.
The time allotted to take Darto to the funeral leaves only an hour left. But there is no sign of Gendis yet to come. The man that Eser had deployed to search for the woman did not find any clues.
Eser contacted someone, he spoke in a somewhat pressurizing, firm, and slightly rude tone. Anger was clearly visible from the look of her eyes and reddened face.
On the other hand, Gendis felt a tremendous upheaval inside her stomach. Since last night, the woman has not been able to sleep. Because it has felt discomfort around his stomach until it penetrates into the back.
Only water entered his stomach until this time. I don't know why the pain is so incredible. There was no bleeding, but his stomach was like cramping. Stiff and like stabbing up to the back waist.
Cold sweat had also soaked Gendis' face. Trouble, the woman tried to stand up. He grabbed his sling bag. Going to the gynecologist was the thing he wanted the most right now.
As soon as he opened the door, Gendis felt her pain grow more and more overwhelming. He stooped down as he crept to the wall. Another resident of the room who was about to come out, saw Gendis in pain. He swiftly helped hold Gendis who was about to fall due to the dregs.
"Mbak's sick? Want to go to the doctor, right? Let me take you, "gag a man of Eser's age to Gendis.
Because he was not strong, Gendis nodded weakly while looking for his car keys in the bag.
"Just use my car." The man seemed to know what Gendis was looking for.
Again, the woman simply nodded weakly while grimacing in pain. Inwardly, Gendis really wanted to cry in Eser's arms. For some reason, since her stomach is not good, she wants her stomach rubbed by the man she has always called her husband.
With the help of his first boarding friends, Gendis arrived at a hospital. The man was a little surprised, because Gendis immediately asked security about the existence of the Obstetrician Clinic.
"Thank you, Mom. Call me, Gendis," he said, reaching out weakly as the two sat in the examination waiting room.
"Gilbas, just call it that." The man said his name while welcoming Gendis' hand in a friendly manner.
Not long after, the nurse called Gendis to check on her condition. According to the doctor who examined, Gendis only experienced cramps that are usually felt by pregnant women when the mind is tense or stressed. Doctors only give vitamins, suggest that Gendis more relaxed and often invite the fetus to communicate or talk.
Hearing the doctor's explanation, the woman could only bite her lower lip while stroking her stomach slowly. Gendis left the check room in good condition. He tried to take off the burden of thought for a moment. In his heart, it was as if something was stirring. Gendis remembered Damar, because she had forgotten to not tell her sister at all.
Gilbas was still waiting for Gendis in the waiting room while playing his phone. The man began to look at Gendis from top to bottom. He can guess, if the neighboring woman of his boarding house must not be from the economic hard. But seeing the fact that Gendis went to the gynecologist, her bad thoughts went. Gilbas suspects that Gendis may have been a mistress.
After redeeming the medicine and completing the administration, Gendis approached Gilbas. Many times he rubbed his stomach gently while inviting the fetus in his womb to speak in his heart. 'Patience, darling. We'll leave for a minute from Dad. Help Mother to be calm for a while. Mother promises, will reunite you with father. But please, don't fuss. Help Mother to be strong.'
"It's over?" Gilbas asked as soon as Gendis was two steps ahead of him.
"Already, Mas. Thank you for taking me and helping me." Gendis said it sincerely.
"Go back to the hostel? Looks like you haven't eaten. How about you treat me to a meal first as a thank-you note that's not just a word."
Hearing Gilbas' words, Gendis just nodded slowly while smiling faintly. The two leave the hospital, heading for a resto of Gilbas' choice. Previously, Gendis had stopped by the counter of the seller of the first mobile phone number.
Gendis would like to contact Damar immediately. But his wish must be withheld first. Because the whole night was in pain, she Luoa was charging her phone. Until now, his flat object could not light up at all.
Gilbas chose an expensive restaurant. He did want to test Gendis' financial ability. He wanted to prove the truth of his conjecture. If it is not a mistress or the like, obviously Gendis will not host herself in the middle of the condition of being pregnant.
Gendis' stomach was not as stiff and painful as before, but her feelings were now more agitated for no reason. The faces of Damar and Eser wandered around his head. Until the moment Gilbas stopped at his choice table, Gendis was unaware, and kept walking straight. To make Gilbas, restrain the woman's steps by blocking Gendish's arm very carefully.
"Why are we holding?" Ketus Gendis, realizing Gilbas' hand was on his arm.
The man hurriedly let go of his hand. "You're missing our table, Ndis. It looks like it's full."
Gendis just realized that getting into the table even had all the questions. With a slight unpleasant feeling, Gendis again followed Ganesh's steps.
Both of them chose their own food menu. As Gilbas mentions his choice, Gendis is increasingly reminded of Eser. Because the food chosen is Eser's favorite food.
"My husband also really likes kofte." Gendis subconsciously said it out loud.
"Husband?" Ask Gilbas, frowning.
Gendis this time hesitated. He should have called 'my brother' instead of husband. That's the reality to face.
Gilbas grew curious as Gendis' cheeks flushed red as she said so. 'If not the man's husband, obviously he would not let a wife as beautiful as this roam alone, ' his inner self.

,
Eser and Damar were gathered beside a mound of red and wet earth that was already filled with sprinkles of white roses on it. The two agreed to bury Darto without waiting for Gendis again.
Ozge and Sevket seemed to be still faithfully standing not far from the tomb of Darto. Both are still waiting for answers, why until this moment, do not see the existence of Gendis there.
Not a roar will lose Darto heartbreaking Eser, during the funeral procession, which was caught clearly in his ear is the groans of Lamar who continued to mention the name Gendis.
"We're home, Mar," take Eser.
"Where to go, Mom? It should go back to a place where we feel calm. A place where there are people who love each other in the warmth of the family. Where is there such a place now? For Damar, Mbak Gendis is that place. Now where Mbak Gendis is, we don't know" Lamar said.
Eser turned his face away from Damar for a moment. He was confused what to say, he himself also felt a void when he had to go home.
"Mas doesn't know what to answer, Mar. We both lost our places to go." Eser tried to stand up, and so did Damar. Realizing the good man in front of her was also fragile. Damar hugged Eser very strongly.
"We have to find Madam Gendis, Mas."
Eser simply replied with a nod while patting Damar on the shoulder.
"So Gendis left your apartment? Why did you let the ice?" Sevket drew closer to the two who were transmitting the power.
Eser stretched his arms to Damar, then took Sevket away from Darto's tomb. Damar and Ozge followed the two men's footsteps up to the parking lot.
"Why can Papi have a child of a Gendis? Why did Papi know that now? Papi is evil, papi is very cruel to Gendis. He never expected to be Papi's son. Being a son of Darto was enough for Gendis. Now it's all ruined, Pi. All destroyed by Papi and Dahlia." Eser pulls Damar's hand to get into his car.
Ozge is now staring intently at Sevket, as if he is demanding an explanation. "What does that mean, Pi? Why is Eser saying that?"
