A Marriage Without Heart
Chapter 25 Thank you, Mom!
Everyone was sitting around. They deliberately eat lesehan with carpet. Ganesha took a sitting position next to Shopia. However, not knowing his embarrassment, Dora sat beside Ganesha, so the handsome man was flanked by two beautiful women. Dora did not care about the dislike gazes of Ganesha's parents. He acted as if it had never happened.
"Dora, did you stay abroad for a long time just to be an actor?" fierce Zara.
"Tell you that, it never changes. Always cynical" said Dora casually. "Sir Anez, can I have some meat?"
"It's got Shopia. You ask Piero" said Ganesha Cuek.
Tumben Mas Strange behaved like that, Inner Shopia.
"Dora, it's not nice to be spoiled on Anez. You are no longer a couple. You better keep your distance" said Prada.
"Yes, right. In the Oenelon family it is not permissible to have two wives. When you decide to get married, there can be no separation other than death. This has been a hereditary family rule" Galen said.
Goddamnit! Why did I just find out? But I can definitely take Anez back. Even if he's stiff, at least Anez always complies with my will, Dora's mind.
"You heard, Shopia. There is no word of farewell in my family other than being separated by death. So don't even think about leaving because I will definitely be looking for you" whispered Ganesha softly.
Gluey!
Shopia gulped her saliva roughly hearing what Ganesha said. She was really stuck in a heartless marriage. Had Ganesha loved her, perhaps she would have happily always been by Ganesha's side.
"As long as there's no third person in our marriage, I'll never leave" Shopia said.
Feeling the bad air, Piero took the initiative to lead the prayer before they ate together. Until finally there was no one talking there. Everyone ate in silence enjoying the meat steak.
When all the dishes are gone. Zara began to talk. "Sorry everyone, I think I went home first. It's too late."
"It's okay, Zara. Thanks for coming. Put on my best friend" said Shopia with a sweet smile.
"See, excuse me!" pamit Gio, Zara's future husband.
After the departure of Zara and Gio, not long after Piero and Jimmy followed. I don't want Dora to come home. Because Ganesha's parents didn't seem to give him a chance to be alone with Ganesha.
Prada only smiled faintly at the girl's departure. He and Shopia also help Bi Sari to clean up the rest of the party. Galen invites her son to talk to her.
"Anez, I hope you understand what Papa said to Dora. Although there is actually no rule, but Papa does not want Papa's children to fail in his marriage," Galen said with a fixed gaze Ganesha.
"Yes, Pah. I know, but I can't be rude to Dora either. He has filled my heart too long" said Ganesha.
"For that, you better avoid it. Papa is sure, actually Dora's position has been eroded by the existence of Shopia. Ask your heart who you would like to accompany your days. If you're still a gamang, close your eyes and see whose face is present in your mind."
It's always the face of Shopia I see every time I close my face. Her sad face, her hopeless face, and her sweet smile filled my mind. But I still can't believe that I can fall in love with the person I dislike the most. Because he was always between me and Dora, the inner Ganesha.
"Anez, do you understand what Papa said?" Galen patted his son's shoulders looking dreamy.
"Yeah Pah. I understand," replied Ganesha nervously.
"Don't just say understand. But it has to be done. Don't let you regret losing someone who means something."
"No way, Pah. I will never let go of what is mine."
"Well, if that had never happened. Whose daughter-in-law would you rather have? Shopia what's Dora?"
"Dora is beautiful but Shopia is no less beautiful. If Papa has to choose, Papa will choose Shopia. Because he is good at mingling and has good manners. Nevermind! Papa go home first. Remember Anez, never give a gap to a third person" Papa Galen said.
"Yes, Pah!" sahut Ganesha's.
The father and son walked up to two beautiful women sitting on the sofa. Galen immediately smiled warmly at Shopia who was looking towards him. After he said goodbye to his son-in-law, the two middle-aged men went straight home.
Now there is Shopia and Ganesha standing on the terrace. Shopia will enter the house when the car driven by her parents is no longer visible. However, Ganesha immediately blocked his wife's hand.
"Wait on the balcony! I'll follow you later" said Ganesha.
"Yes, Mum." Shopia went straight to her room after Ganesha let go of her hand.
The woman, who looked graceful in a knee-length dress, went straight to the balcony of her room just like her husband had asked. Arriving there, Shopia rests her hands on the guardrail. His head looked up, looking at the twinkling star with a crescent moon among thousands of stars.
Shopia dissolved in her own mind. Unaware of the arrival of Ganesha. When Ganesha kissed his right cheek, Shopia awoke from his daydream
"Happy birthday, Shopia. May your dreams come true."
Ganesha placed a blue-eyed diamond necklace around his wife's neck. Of course, Shopia was surprised. She never thought she would get a gift from her husband.
"Maas ...." Shopia did not continue as Ganesha turned her body to face her husband.
The man smiled sweetly at the surprise of his wife. "Do you like it?" ganesha asked with a fixed gaze on Shopia.
"Like it, Mom. Thank you," said Shopia with sparkling eyes.
Shopia reflexively hugged Ganesha tightly. She was very happy because Ganesha prepared a gift for her. The best gift of his life.
"Do you want another gift?" ganesha asked with a fixed gaze on the beautiful face of Shopia.
"Are there any other gifts?"
"of course. This gift will definitely make you ask for more."
"really?! What gift, Mas?"
Without speaking again, Ganesha immediately gave the code to his man to light fireworks. So that the sound of explosions and light fireworks that adorn the night sky. Seeing all that, Shopia to shed tears because her heart was very happy to get a surprise from her husband.
"Thank you!"
