The Bitter Sweet Marriage

Chapter 13 - Who has no heart?

In the afternoon, Hannah was home. He cleaned the house from the top floor to the bottom floor. Not to forget, he also prepared dinner for her and Candra. Although, he himself was not sure Candra would eat his homemade cooking.

Hana sits in front of the television watching a comedy show while waiting for Candra to come home from work. Half an hour later, the door opened. It was Candra who opened it. Hana stood up from her seat and approached Candra like a wife waiting for her husband's return.

"You're home" said Hana.

Candra did not return Hana's greeting, she continued to walk regardless of Hana. Hana could only sigh harshly. Then follow Candra behind her. When she was in front of Candra's room, Candra turned her body.

"I told you, don't interfere in my business. We're just two strangers left in one house!" said Candra with her ketus.

"I just want to do my job as a wife. Is that wrong?"

"Wrong. Because I don't consider you a wife."

"Can't you appreciate this marriage? Even without love between us. Can we be friends?"

"Friends said? Chees...Don't hope!"

Candra then slammed the door of her room. Hana who saw that instantly stroked the chest. Is that what this marriage is about?

Hana came down from the top floor and went back to watching television. He sometimes lamented his fate which was always not considered.

The next day, in Country C, a middle-aged man sat pensively looking at his family photos. He hopes that his son is still alive, and lives his life happily.

"Papa can only hope you're alive, son. Papa's lonely here alone. Papa should've taken better care of you."

No tears fell on his cheeks. Solitude, loneliness without family makes him always lament his fate. But he has a lot of things. Starting from property, houses, and other luxuries. All of this meant nothing to him.

At Abraham's residence, two women were talking in the living room.

"Ma, according to mama what can Kak Hana make Kak Candra return to her former nature?" ask Sandra to Dona.

"Mama's sure, Hana can make your sister come back the way she used to be. Mama could see that Hana always had sincerity in everything she did. Your brother needs someone like him."

"But I fucked Hana, ma. Must have been scolded by Candra."

"Don't talk like that. Hope your brother can change soon."

"Yes, hopefully."

It turns out that the chatter of the two women was heard by Candra who would accidentally enter the family room.

"What's special about him?" candra Gum slowly.

Candra approached the two women.

"Ma, is papa home?"

Suddenly the two women were startled by the baritone voice of the man they were talking about.

"Oh, you're this. Just make my mom surprised. Your father's out of town."

"Why now papa so often out of town ma?"

"Some," replied Dona who did not know.

"Sister Hana's not coming?" sandra asked when Candra did not respond to Dona's statement.

"No" replied Candra.

"What the hell? I just came here to see Papa. There are a lot of things I want to talk about about the company. Why bother taking her. Trouble!"

"Already, already, because papa is not home, you better just go home. Kasian Hana is alone at home. Anyway, why don't you hire Candra's maid? At least when you left there were people accompanying Hana."

"Basic stingy!" sandra's lips.

"Silence you boy!" pissed Candra.

"Yes, I'm home ma. Regarding the maid, I agreed with Hana, Ma. We don't want any maids at home."

"Alright, be careful on the road, son."

Arriving at home, Candra did not see Hana welcome her return as before. He then heard a noise from the kitchen. . Unknowingly, Candra walks into the kitchen only to see what Hana is doing. Apparently Hana was executing vegetables and side dishes in the kitchen. Then Candra climbed the stairs and entered her room.

A few minutes later Candra came down from her room to the kitchen. He saw Hana pouring the soup into the bowl. Hana noticed Candra who was in the kitchen. He invited Candra to eat together.

"Do you want to eat with me? I've made chicken soup for dinner."

"no need. Just eat it yourself. I don't taste to eat it."

Candra answered Hana's invitation by taking orange juice from the refrigerator and drinking it. Then he went back to his room.

"Huft, it always is. Do we really have to be strangers?"

Hana is monologuing to herself. He also spent his dinner alone as before. For Hana, it's like she really lives alone. It's just that, in the house he used to live in, he could still hear the noise from the neighbors, while here he heard only silence.

"Candra is that hard as it is for me to penetrate your heart?"

Hana smiled wryly as she said the question.

"Hana don't expect more. It is natural that his heart is hard to penetrate. Nothing draws from you."

Hannah made her heart not to expect too much. After eating, he washed the dishes and then returned to his room.

*********

While in the next room, Candra now restrained her hunger. His initial intention was to go to the house his parents wanted to talk about business and all go to dinner. It turns out that Abraham was not at home.

Krucukk.....

(Suppose the sound of the stomach yes, hehe.)

"Haish, why are you hungry at the wrong time anyway? How could I go downstairs and ask for food from Hana. I can lower my self-esteem. I'd better order online."

Candra immediately took her phone. Unfortunately, Candra could no longer hold back her hunger. So he ordered his food online and went down to the kitchen.

"Is, where the hell does he keep it? Don't know what if I'm hungry."

Candra continued to grumble while looking for the soup that Hana had made earlier. Unknowingly, he dropped the spoon onto the floor.

"Ish, this again, why wear down everything." He took a scattering spoon and put it back in place.

"Don't it be spent by Hana?" Candra seemed to think.

"Huh, you don't have a heart."

"Who has no heart?"

Candra was shocked when she heard Hana's voice. He remained silent without answering Hana's question. Destroyed was his pride if Hana knew, if he was starving and wanted to eat soup made by Hana which he said did not taste to eat it.
