The Touch of Gendis Love

With Jules and Rose

The atmosphere at the funeral was so sad. Mutia's cry sounded heart-wrenching. The departure of Sevket for ever counted very suddenly. The man did not even leave a meaningful hunch on the people around him. Of course it makes his wife and child feel deep regret. No warm memories made. Lately, it is precisely quarrels and disputes that often occur.

Even the sky seemed to be blessing the grief, the dark gray clouds pierced the twilight tinge so quickly. The clouds were crammed scrambling over the place, as if impatiently wanting to immediately wet the mound of earth covering Sevket's corpse.

One by one the mourners left the grave ground. So did Mutia, Ozge, and Gendis. Finished is the story of Sevket in the world. All about him is sorrow and memories. No matter how rich and powerful a Sevket was, no treasure was brought into his grave. He only returned to the side of God with all the good he had done.

Not long after, a man stepped his feet closer to the covered mound of earth filled with red roses. He then crouched down and rubbed the belly button that read Sevket Lutof.

"I'm sorry Eser, pi. This time, Eser had gone the wrong way. Now where does Eser have to fix it?" ogre.

Only a gust of wind answered Eser's question. No one else was there. Silent.

"Why can't papi be honest with Eser? Why did you make a video for Gendis? Why could? As if papi knew that papi's life would indeed end." Eser stared at the grave ground with a disappointed look implied from his face.

"If papi is honest from the beginning, if papi does not try to divorce Eser and Gendis. Maybe it won't end like this, pi. Now it's all ruined." Eser sat his butt on solid ground.

The wind is getting stronger. The sound of twigs rubbing and dry leaves flying accompanied by rumbling sounds from the sky, did not make Eser the slightest move to leave the tomb.

Sure enough, slowly the sky water came down to wet whatever was underneath. No exception to Eser. But the man flinched. It was as if he did not care about his soaked body. Eser bent and hugged his knees. He's so crimpy. His soul and body were tired and very fragile.

Eser raised his head, feeling something strange. The sound of rain still filled the eardrum, but suddenly his body no longer felt the drops anymore.

A man with a large umbrella, stood right behind him. Eser is back down. In the slightest he did not want to ask who exactly the figure was.

"We're getting out of here, Ice. You can get sick if you stay here. Sevket won't wake up again, even if you wait like this." The typical baritone voice of a half-collared adult male sounded out as it was slightly inferior to the sounds of nature.

"Go! I don't know you, and don't interfere in my business." Eser snapped, his voice sounding thunderous along with the sound of lightning.

"I'm waiting for you in the parking lot. Leave the dead. Don't help you solve problems, help yourself

alone, he is no longer able" said the man. So cynical and demeaning.

Eser gulped his saliva violently, The rain water again flushed his body as the stranger left. Not really foreign, because the sound felt familiar in the ears of Eser.

Before standing, Eser again rubbed the Sevket navel. "Eser go, Pi. Rest in peace."

Because speaking in the rain, not a little sky water is swallowed by Eser. He then raised his head, leaving his slightly fierce face to be hit by the torrent of rain.

On the other hand, Gendis was seen sitting pensively on her bedroom bed. The woman's hair was still covered with a towel. Gendis just finished a shower. From the funeral, he prefers to go straight home. I don't know who took care of the car, when he arrived, the car was already in the outermost row of his parking lot.

The woman took a full diary with her pen in the nightstand drawer. As usual, whenever his heart was at its highest point of turmoil, Gendis chose two things to vent, pray and pour out her feelings through a streak of words.

In the nadi kusimpan

Love is not about perfection

You left

I didn't leave

Praying always

Where you are

I'm loyal

Although no longer together

Shortly after putting his book on the nightstand, Gendis just remembered the cellphone given by Ozge. He also looked for the whereabouts of the bag where the thing was. Gendis breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she saw that the phone was still intact inside there. But the shock and panic suddenly struck. As soon as he opened the phone. Nothing was found there. Gendis has seen the entire file storage, there is no trace of photos, videos or writing displayed on the phone screen. Empty, clean like a smart phone that has just been purchased.

"No way," he said. Gendis tries to contact Eser, but her husband's phone is off. He sent a line of messages, hoping that whenever the phone was active, Eser immediately read and replied to the message.

"What's really inside this phone. Phi, have you seen the contents? Is that what made you just leave me?" Gendis began to suspect. He rushed to remove the towel from his head, immediately his brownish straight hair was scattered in a state still half wet. Without combing the crown of his head first, Gendis came out of the room.

Arriving on the first floor, Gendis passed Damar who had just returned from his campus. Gendis' sister does not know the big things that have happened all day.

"Where are you going?" Ask Damar.

"Bak's out for a second, to the papi house." Gendis replied as she continued walking.

"Let Damar interracial, Ma'am." Damar followed the steps of Gendis so fast.

Gendis just nodded. Do not want to repeat the incident this morning, where he harmed many other riders because of driving with an unfocused mind.

***

In an apartment, Eser was still in his wet clothes shivering with cold. The clothes given by Rose and Julles, he rejected them raw.

Yes, the figure who met Eser while in the tomb earlier was Jules. After waiting and arguing for so long, finally Eser was willing to be invited to the apartment where they are now. Rosa is Jules' ex-wife. The woman was actually not happy to be in this place. Even his face looked depressed. Rose came to Indonesia alone, but somehow the cruel old man suddenly came along.

"This is how Sevket educated you? Didn't he teach you logic and manners? Under these circumstances, you still refuse the help of others." Julles said it cynically as soon as Eser rejected his gifting shirt.
