A Marriage Without Heart
Chapter 17 Another in the Mouth Another in the Heart

The next day, Shopia slowly releases Ganesha's embrace. He immediately went to the bathroom to clean his body. Finished with a clean-up and well-dressed event, Shopia immediately headed to the kitchen to make porridge.

"Non, do you want to make porridge?" ask Bi Sari by looking at the contents of the pot.

"Yes Bi. Mas Anez is sick."

"What pain?"

"Fever, Bi. It seems like it's due to exhaustion."

"Before, Aunt added spices first. Den Anez can't take medicine, so Madam likes to have Aunt use other means so she can get well soon."

"I mean, Auntie?"

"Den Anez is afraid to look at drugs. Let alone syringes," explained Bi Sari

Finally, Bi Sari who continued to process the porridge. Shopia was just looking at what the middle-aged woman was doing. He just remembered, what materials were used to make that special porridge

After the porridge was finished, Shopia immediately brought him upstairs. Ganesha looks like he's out of the toilet. He staggered with eyes that looked pretty.

"This, Mas. Eat the porridge first."

"You made it?"

"Bi Sari's help."

Ganesha only snorted harshly hearing the name called. Because it sure feels weird. But inevitably he had to spend it.

"You, bribe me!"

"Yes, Mum."

Slowly Shopia fed her husband. Ganesha only saw what his wife was doing. I don't know what that man had in mind. He could not take his eyes off the Woman who was blowing porridge for him to eat.

It was like there was a magnetic pull from the spoon that Shopia pointed at him. Ganesha always opens his mouth whenever Shopia feeds the strange porridge. Without feeling it he had already finished a bowl of porridge.

"Mas, here's the drink!"

"Is the porridge finished?" ganesha asked, taking a glass from Shopia's hand.

"Already, Mas. Now just take the fever-relief medication."

"No, I don't want to." Ganesha instantly closed his mouth upon hearing the word medicine.

It felt like Shopia wanted to laugh inwardly at the facial expression of the man who had once given her a pregnancy-preventing drug. He never thought that the man was actually very afraid of drugs, especially in the form of tablets and capsules.

"How can I be cured if I don't want to take medicine?" shopia Goda.

"That strange slurry was already mixed with medicinal herbs. You think the porridge I ate was delicious?"

"Enak, the proof is that Mas Anez eats very greedy. If you don't want to take medicine. I saved Mas's old meal to the kitchen."

Tumben once I can spend it. Did she use witchcraft so I could obey her, inner Ganesha.

His eyes never escaped the movements of the beautiful woman. Until Shopia disappears from behind the door, Ganesha decides to look at her. He picked up the phone lying on the nightstand. A wallpaper showing her photo with Dora. But accidentally there is a face of Shopia who was recorded looking at him deeply. I don't know why he's happy to put up that photo.

...***...

The Oenelon Family's anniversary party felt full of warmth. A small party attended only by the closest relatives and business associates was presented with the concept of kinship. All of them blend in to get closer to each other.

Fortunately, Ganesha's condition has improved. In the evening, he can come to his parents' anniversary. Of course with Shopia who looks beautiful and graceful with the evening dress she wears.

"Mama, Papa's happy anniversary. May it last until later and be filled with happiness. Aamiin's." Shopia kissed the back of her parents-in-law's hand changing after she congratulated them.

"Thank you, Shopia. Thank you for taking care of my son."

"Yes, Shopia. Papa is also happy you can take care of Anez. It could even make him finish his porridge." Mr. Galen chimed in immediately.

"Ck! My mom and dad are so happy to make me hard. It had been a strange porridge whose love was also even stranger," Ganesha clucked bitterly in front of his parents.

"Anez Anez's. Always another in the mouth of another in the heart. Don't you want to congratulate Mama and Papa?" ask Mr. Galen.

"Safe to Mom and Dad. May you be happy and take care of me forever." Ganesha hugged his mom and dad in turn. He was happy to see the harmony of his parents.

Not long after, the core event began. The couple who were not young again seemed happy because in the twenty-eighth anniversary, they now have a son-in-law.

"Thank you to all the guests who came. May all who are present always be in His protection. Hopefully next year, when we celebrate the anniversary, there is already a grandchild accompanying us here," said Mr. Galen with a glance towards his son and daughter-in-law.

After enough pleasantries, Galen and Prada immediately cut the five-story cake. The first piece for them was feeding each other. While the second piece, they gave it to Ganesha and Shopia. Let your child share food in one plate.

After a cake cut and a meal together, Ganesha invites Shopia to his room. However, just as they were about to step foot, Eliza restrained the two couples.

"Anez, can I borrow Oliver Twist's book? I'd love to read it" asked Eliza.

"There's a mini library. I'll bring it to the office, yes, now I want to rest first" replied Ganesha.

"Just a minute Anez. After that, I won't bother you anymore." Eliza held Ganesha's hand half forcefully at the man.

Ganesha sighed deeply before he spoke to Eliza. "All right, but I can't keep you there long."

Ganesha went straight to the mini library in his backyard. A building with glass walls so that it can be seen all the activists in the building because all the bookshelves are placed in the middle of the room.

"Look! He's more concerned with my wishes than choosing to be with you." Eliza smiled sinisterly as she nudged Shopia's shoulder. The girl immediately followed Ganesha's long steps.

I wondered what Eliza said. All right, Shopia, it's time you proved what the girl said. Mas Anez would prefer to be with you or accompany Eliza in the library, Inner Shopia.

He soon regretted Ganesha and Eliza. When she got there, Eliza was holding her chest close to Ganesha's hand. Her heart had been pinched to see all that, but she was curious when she had not tried to seduce her husband. It is up to Ganesha to take what, for in Ganesha's eyes he is only the destroyer of the male's happiness.

"Mas Anez, let's go to bed! Doesn't Mas Anez want a massage? Let's make it better for her." Shopia approached Ganesha and stroked her husband's chest gently.

A massage? When did I ask for it? Is this a sign Shopia asked me for rations, because I didn't give them last night. All right I'll satisfy you, Shopia.
