The Touch of Gendis Love

Old House

Gendis immediately picked up the phone that was in her button-sling bag. One incoming message from an unknown number appeared on his phone screen.

He also read in his heart the long line of writing. All he had in mind right now, was Damar and Damar.

His expectations for his sister were quite high. Gendis wants Damar to raise the family.

Ozge approaches Gendis who is still glued to hold her phone. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya. "Speak to me, like you're talking to Bayu or whoever your closest friend is. Don't make me an outsider anymore. Believe that! I'll do anything to help you" Ozge added.

"We'll just go home, Beg. They'll call again tomorrow. I hope Damar's okay." Gendis sounded a bit desperate.

Ozge helped the girl stand up, then grabbed her hips and walked slowly away from home.

Gendis' footsteps were slightly shaken, her eyes were also unfocused. "Beg, leave Gendis. Don't enter into the life of Gendis. Don't get involved with my father."

Ozge shook his head strongly. "No will! I'm gonna help you get through this. I don't care what your father is like. I'll face it," he insisted.

After walking slowly through the silent alleys. Eventually, they made it back to the highway where Ozge's car was. Both of them went straight into it.

Along the way, Gendis throws a glance out the windshield of the car. He's never been this sad before. Damar is not just a little brother to Gendis. But also the encouragement as well as the reason why Gendis can stand firm to this day.

Ozge stopped his car right in front of Gendis' contract.

"Thank you, Beg. Gendis. Go home!" said the girl slowly.

Ozge nodded with a warm smile. Let Gendis down, until she re-enters the contract. Ozge is not moving. He just rewinded his car a few meters from Gendis's contract.

*********

In the morning, Gendis had awoken from a sleep that was not at all sound. He was anxiously waiting for news from an unknown number.

After pacing back and forth while holding his phone. Finally the message came along and sent him an address.

Not waiting for Surti who was still asleep, Gendis immediately grabbed the bag and immediately ran towards the highway. He walked a few meters forward, because there was an ojek base.

Too focused, making Gendis unaware there was a pair of eyes that continued to follow and watch him from a distance. A person riding a black doff sport bike.

After a long journey and meandering, finally arrived Gendis an old building, but still very well maintained.

Trying to calm down, Gendis stepped into the area of the house. Expecting what he faces later, is not as scary as he currently thinks.

Gendis knocked on the door with a slight hesitation. Not long after, a 40-year-old housekeeper showed up to open the door for her.

The woman threw a friendly smile, then let Gendis inside.

Damar who was eating, immediately stood up and scattered into the arms of Gendis, when he learned of the arrival of his brother.

"You're okay, aren't you?" asked Gendis, with great worry. Groping Damar's face like he was making sure nothing was scratched in the slightest.

"The room is okay, Ma'am. Damar's safe."

The deheman voice of a somewhat familiar person in Gendis' ear sounded, instantly making the girl turn to the source of the sound coming from.

Gendis bit her lower lip, her heart suddenly ached. One problem with Eser has not been resolved, now plus the problem of Darto and Damar.

"How much do you owe, my father?" ask Gendis, without a stale base.

"You think your father owes me? of course not! Why am I dealing with pennies." Eser approached Gendis and Damar.

In contrast to the anxious and restless Gendis, Damar seemed very relaxed.

"The problem is over. Damar can go home with you, but our business will continue" said Eser casually.

Gendis is getting confused, the logic is really hard to find a little enlightenment.

"Could an Eser Sevket know much less borrow a Darto's money?" Eser asked Gendis in an enigmatic manner, asking the girl to start analyzing together.

"Can we talk alone?" ask Gendis, ignoring Eser's question. He did not want to take Damar in the hassle.

Eser told Damar to continue eating. Very friendly, his attitude was much different when facing Gendis. He took Gendis to a room at the very end of the building.

"I'm ready to hear." Gendis doesn't want to waste a lot of time with stale bases.

Eser smiled cunningly, this time he was sure all would be under his control perfectly.

"Your father played gambling at my place. When he lost and billed his co-star. Your father ran away and went on a rampage outside. He throws the car glass with his liquor bottle. It just so happens that the car is my car." Eser paused the story for a moment, just giving Gendis time to digest.

"Because it can not pay the money lost as well as compensation and fear of being reported by the police. Your father offered you to give it to us. He mentioned your name and showed me a picture of you from his cell phone. But when security comes to your place there's only Damar and a girl. Your father handed over Damar, as a temporary guarantee," explained Eser.

Gendis gulped his saliva roughly, already away from home. Darto still burdened him with problems.

"How much should I pay?" asked Gendis with a bright look.

"Not how much, Ndis. What you're supposed to ask is what you should do now." Eser was playing with the emotion of Gendis.

The girl tried to stiffen herself, staring at Eser with the rest of her courage. "What should I do?"

"Who do you want to protect, you or Damar?" The back asked.

"If I can do both, why should I choose one." Gendis' gaze was getting sharper now.

"What's your plan? back to your contract? working on just relying on your massage? You think your five-year salary there is enough to pay for the losses your father caused? What about Damar's dream of becoming a dentist? What about your father? who will definitely sell Damar, after he manages to sell you later. A heavy gambler will not stop until the last breath of his life. Moreover, he has the heart to offer children as collateral," said Eser.

The gendis dropped to the floor. Compassion, not to beg for the mercy of an Eser. But he was tired of standing up and pretending to be tough.

Fate is always cruel to him and always forced to stay lived despite being stumbling. Being the son of a Darto, like a curse. If he could bleed Darto who had already flowed in his body with another blood. Gendis will do it.

Damar is his weakness. Really Gendis will do anything, as long as Damar's life will be better than his.

"What do you want, now?" asked Gendis, so resigned.
