A Marriage Without Heart
Chapter 43 What is stalking me?

Legs were heard echoing into the room of the village hall. All pairs of eyes seemed to be bewitched wanting to see who was coming. They looked dumbfounded when they saw a tall, straight man with a cross-face whose good looks could not be doubted. Moreover, the sharp eyes of Ganesha were able to hypnotize everyone present in the meeting room into a non-cutting silence.

"Mas Anez ..," said Shopia.

Ganesha headed straight for Shopia's seat which was in the front row. Without speaking again, he immediately hugged his wife's body that looked terrified. Shopia was crying in her husband's arms.

"Don't be afraid, there's Mas here." Ganesha gently stroked his wife's long beautiful hair.

He looked around the room. As his eyes caught the face of the man who wanted to harm his wife, his jaw instantly hardened. His eyes seemed to want to tear the man apart. Making everyone who saw her heart tremble in fear.

"Sorry, Sir. What do you have to do with Sister Shopia?" ask a man wearing government clothes.

"I am her husband" replied Ganesha flatly. "And I will bring the man to the legal line with the attempted kidnapping case" he continued.

"Sorry Sir, you just came but directly accused people. Do you have any evidence? Because we still don't get a meeting point on who really wants to kidnap Ms. Shopia."

The flashback

The stalker who was paid to watch over Shopia and guard her instantly attacked the man. Make the man who will carry Shopia fall down. The stalker did not miss the chance to strike back. Until finally there was a fight in the yard of Nek Azmi's house.

While Bi Inem who heard the commotion outside the house, immediately rushed to see him. He panicked when he saw someone fighting. Moreover, looking at Shopia who was chuckling in the courtyard.

"Bangudong ... Tolowong ... Please ... There are people fighting, " shouted Bi Inem who successfully invited the neighbors to come to see.

They immediately broke up a fight with a woman they know as a vegetable seller who joined in front of Nek Azmi's house.

"What is this, why are you fighting?" ask the neighbors who broke them.

"He's going to kidnap Shopia's mother. I just happened to pass by here when he wanted to take Miss Shopia away" Parto said.

"Lied that. He's the one who drugged Shopia until he fainted. I was just preventing him from taking Mbak Shopia away, "a stalker named Sania.

"Hey is new! You don't slander me! How could I have done such a lowly thing" Parto pleaded.

"Have it been, don't fuss here. We better finish it in the village bale."

Flashback off

"Is there in-focus? I have a tape that will give you the answer, who is really at fault" asked Ganesha.

"There sir, I'll get you a minute."

One of the village officials took in-focus into the office space. He also prepared it immediately. Without speaking, Ganesha immediately approached the man and paired his cell phone which held footage from a hidden camera installed by Nek Azmi's house.

The atmosphere of the meeting room suddenly boomed as they looked directly at the actual incident. All the citizens present there whispered to each other about Parto who was proven to want to kidnap Shopia.

"It turns out he has not changed, he likes to impose his wishes on the woman he likes" whispered one of the residents.

"Thank God he wants to go to jail. Let our village be safe from striped men like him."

"Yes, right. We can't snare him because he's the son of a master plus, his father's a village chief."

They keep whispering to each other. Until the police came along with Piero, then the boisterous atmosphere was again silent. The police went inside and met the line of village officials including the village chief who sat at the front. Piero immediately approached Ganesha.

"Sorry, Mr. Kades. Upon reporting from Mr. Ganesha, we came to arrest the Parto brothers" a police officer said.

"What can't be in a familial way, sir. I am sure that my son is being converted" said the village chief.

"Sorry, Sir. For that matter please speak with Lord Ganesha. We just run errands. Please brother Parto come with us. We'll talk at the office."

"Mr! Please Parto! Fathers could let his beautiful son become a prisoner. I don't want to be arrested, I haven't touched Madam Shopia, I even have to be arrested. It's not fair the name" Parto said, holding on as the police took her.

"Please brother Parto cooperation, if you do not want the punishment to be heavier," said Police.

With a heavy heart, Parto finally according to what the police said, He was sure that his father would not stay silent to let him languish in prison. All the residents present there dispersed when Parto was led to join the police.

Shopia was silent. There was shame in his heart because when Ganesha came he immediately hugged her. She herself wanted to separate from her husband. However, Ganesha's arrival while he was being pinched makes him forget what happened between him and Ganesha.

"Shopia, is it because of that man that you feel at home living here?" ganesha asked with a fixed look at his wife.

"No, I ...." Shopia did not continue as the village chief came to them.

"Excuse me Lord Ganesha! Can't we talk about family? I represent my son Parto apologizing profusely for what my son has done. I promise, all that will not happen again," said Samin, his father Parto.

"Sorry, Sir. I can't just forgive someone who wants to hurt my wife. You should find a good lawyer to defend your Son in court. Then we'll excuse us," said Ganesha, moving away while pulling Shopia.

So arrogant of the city. Just watch! I will drive out of this village, Inner Samin.

Shopia simply follows where Ganesha takes her away. His heart was not okay, because from then on it continued to pound. Between joy and confusion come together as one. Until they were in the car, Ganesha sat facing Shopia.

"Why are your hands cold, Shopia? Are you nervous about being around me? Don't be nervous, honey! I didn't come here to hurt you, but to invite you to open a new chapter in our relationship."

"Mas, has Mas been stalking me all this time? What's for?" shopia asked with a fixed look at her husband.

"To make sure you're okay. To make sure no other man wants to have you. Because you are mine, whether it be yesterday, today, or tomorrow and in the future." Ganesha paused for a moment before he continued speaking.

"Shopia I'm sorry for everything I've done to you."
