The Marriage Order
H-5
Reynand PoVs
At one o'clock in the afternoon ....
I sat in my work space. The memory was so deep. He refused very firmly. I was even told to marry Kayla.
Not imagining how it feels. Like the old wounds I once felt when I decided to end my relationship with Indira. But this hurts more. A short time does not guarantee the base of the wound that is incised. My feelings are too deep for him. Suddenly my tears just came down. Expressing this commandless sadness from me.
The door to my room suddenly opened. I hurriedly wiped away the tears that had already fallen. Dad appeared to walk up to my desk and then sat his body in the chair opposite me.
"Rey, Dad and Baruna had already thought about it. Regarding the heir, Father and Baruna agreed to give her position to you after she married Sheryl. He has also made an official statement."
"You're playing me!" my snoring.
"No. It's a deal Dad made with him. We're not playing you, Rey. This is a very fair decision for both of you and I support it. All had been consciously decided because she planned to live abroad after marriage."
"Dad, that's right! I know how I feel about Sheryl. How much does Kusuma's family owe? I can pay it off to make Sheryl not marry him" my challenge.
Dad swallowed hearing my words. He frowned confusedly. Maybe for him I'm mentally ill. After being rejected still wishing Sheryl to be mine.
"Half the wealth of the Pradipta Corporation," replied Father raising one side of his eyebrows.
I then flinch. Puck my mouth in annoyance. Can't do anything. Mama has also refused my request to take my rights in Pradipta.
"Hows it? Still want to ruin your sister's wedding?" ask Dad again.
"Dad is too much! You don't support me!" my yelling.
"You have just given up. They are a fool." Dad raised both corners of his lips smiling knot.
"Dad, I'll get a loan."
"What strong? No bank would dare lend you that much money."
I was silent and could not answer. Dad then got up from his seat turned his body walking out of the room.
I had my chin up to see Dad leave. Mama's right, she's a problem. Should I just sit around waiting for their wedding? At the very least, Sheryl should have opened the map and read it so she would know how dilapidated the two harmonious families were.
God, can he be made just for me?

Baruna PoVs
I was in the car waiting for Sheryl to come out of the lobby. The parking lot this afternoon is still full. My watch is already showing at half-five. I waited for him for half an hour. But he hasn't come out yet.
Not long after, he got into the car. His face looks twisted for some reason. I looked at him while smiling seductively.
"My wife-to-be why tangled up like that, anyway? Your future husband needs a smile from you."
He looked back at me smiling back then slowly laughing. Pinched my arm and kissed me suddenly.
"I love you."
"Know! Otherwise, you won't be sick when there hasn't been a day of breaking up with me."
"You're a bitch!" He then pinched my cheek.
"It hurts, honey." I grimaced as I stroked my reddened cheek, then turned towards her, "are you ready?" my many.
"Yes." Yeah."
I drove my car out of the parking lot. Sheryl was silent while daydreaming. I don't know what he's thinking. I watched my woman from the reflection of the middle rearview mirror. He's been daydreaming for so long.
"What's up?"
Sheryl gasped in shock as she was aware of the daydream. I looked at him meaningfully.
"Is there something you're hiding?"
He shook his head.
"You must be hiding something. I know you."
Sheryl just kept quiet and didn't answer.
"I'm right here. The man who loves you is next to you and you just shut up and fling?" my question as I gripped the steering wheel of the car furious.
"I've told you everything, honey. Mr. Reynand won't bother us anymore."
"You met him?" ask again while pulling the vehicle on the side of the road.
"Yes, I spoke to him this morning. Tell him not to interfere with our relationship anymore."
I took a deep breath and exhaled it many times trying to calm down. Then looked at her beautiful face but she lowered her head.
"Look at my face!"
He lifted his face back to look at me. "You guys talk about anything? Did she say something that made you think a thousand times to marry me?"
I flinch not to answer. It's really upset to just hear she's seeing Sheryl. But I'm sure Sheryl won't let me down again. I trust him.
"All right, I believe you. Don't need to tell. Just make me emotional!" I started driving my car back.
Sheryl was silent. I grabbed his palm and held it tightly. He looked at me, rounding his eyes at me. I looked back and stroked his temple.
"I love you" I said slowly.
An hour later we had arrived at the Luxury hotel where Dirga Mahesa Wijaya was celebrating the birthday party of her son Gavriel Wijaya. Cendrawasih ballroom room is full of invited guests who come. I took Sheryl in with a confident step.
A man suddenly walked in haste to nudge Sheryl on the shoulder. He continued walking without stopping and apologized. I took off my arm and walked up to him. The man walked with a woman beside him. Sheryl followed my steps. Immediately I patted the man on the shoulder and he looked surprised.
"Sorry, you've nudged my fiancee. Why not stop apologizing?"
The man rolled his eyes looking at Sheryl. She smiled and said, "Sheryl's sister!"
"Well, Dion's here too?" Sheryl was surprised to see the man. I looked down to my left and right.
"Honey, it's Mas Dion. I know him because he used to work at Pradipta Corp" Sheryl said.
I raised the corner of the thin lips and then extended a hand in hand. The man returned my greetings.
"I'm sorry I was in a hurry. Sorry ma'am, I didn't mean ...."
"It's over!" I cut out a sentence I don't like if Sheryl's friendly to another man.
"You why the hell? He's just my old friend." Sheryl turned to me in an angry direction. I stared at the two people in front of me coldly. "Woman next to you who's Yon?"
"Rosa, Ma'am. My lover."
"Hi Rosa," she said kindly.
Sheryl, don't show your hospitality to anyone else. Later he could misunderstand.
"Hi, Miss Sheryl." Rosa greeted me back.
"Sheryl's sister, we go first." Dion and her lover who were uncomfortable with my gaze turned around to leave us.
Sheryl turned back to me and said, "You don't show that kind of look to anyone else. They will misunderstand."
"I don't like you being friendly to other guys, honey."
"You're too much."
"Here, yuk in." I took her hand back. We walked to the middle of the event to meet the organizer of the event, Dirga Mahesa Wijaya.
"Hi, Ga!" I greeted my co-worker while hugging her. He hugged me back. Sheryl hugs Kiara and baby Gav.
"Hi, Bar. Thank you for coming."
"Together, Ga. Thank you for inviting us too. Happy birthday baby Gav." I stroked her pinched cheek.
"Thank you Baruna and Sheryl for taking the time to come to our simple party" Kiara added.
"We're very happy to come here" Sheryl said.
"So when did you get married? The invitation has not reached yet," asked Dirga glanced at me.
"Masa? I sent it through your secretary. This Sunday is the plan."
"Oh yeah? All right then I'll check," said Dirga.
"You have to make something like this" said Kiara as she carried her child.
My face and Sheryl's are blushing in shame. We haven't talked about the matter more deeply but everyone would want to have offspring, right?
"Already, Honey. Don't tease this couple. Look at them ashamed," Dirga reprimanded his wife.
"Oh okay, dear."
"It's okay. Everyone wants to have kids, right?" Sheryl responded while holding back a laugh.
"See Honey. His fiancee did not mind either. Than your friend over there coming here alone." Kiara pointed at someone with her mouth.
I looked back. Looks like Reynand came alone. He walked over to us. I'm holding Sheryl's hand.
"Ga, I'm going there first huh," I turned away from the limelight.
"OK," said Dirga.
I pulled Sheryl's hand so she wouldn't stay away from me. I didn't want Reynand to go near him and deliver the contents of the letter. He's gone too far.
