The Marriage Order

S2 Honesty

Reynand PoVs

Morning at 08:00 ....

Today is Sunday. I opened the room door to the balcony, stood up while sunbathing and pensive to see the view of the city in the morning.

The sun was shining warmly, looking dazzling from a distance. The sight of the crowded highway filled with residents car free day holiday makes me smile the spirit of starting the day, even though I just called Sheryl and always get a rejection from her.

I don't know what makes him upset every time I call him? I know we have the same feeling. We are two people who love each other. We should have been able to unite and he didn't have to push himself along with Baruna. Is he feeling sorry for my brother, because he has not been up three days?

They were supposed to get married today, but God wanted something else. Does that mean I'm meant to be with Sheryl?

I kept smiling like a madman__too happy to love her. Especially if she's suddenly pregnant with my son. With pleasure, I will quickly marry her.

I will spend all my property to ask for her hand, even if I need to borrow Mama's property to pay her family's debt to Asyraf Corporation. I'm sure if she's pregnant with my son, Mama won't have the heart to turn Sheryl into a daughter-in-law of the Pradipta family.

Drrt-drrt-drr!

The phone in my hand was shaking. A phone call from Mom. I immediately picked it up.

"Rey, you don't want to go home to see Mama?"

"What's up, Ma?"

"So angry that Mama didn't support your relationship with Sheryl?"

"According to Mama?"

"Rey, how long were you like this?"

"Until Mom supports me."

"Then you'll take a chance when your stepbrother is in a coma?"

"I don't know."

"Rey, relax!"

"Me and him love each other .." I said slowly.

"Geez!"

Suddenly, my mother's call ended. He turned off the phone. My mother must have been very surprised. I shouldn't have told you about us loving each other over the phone. I called him back, but he didn't pick up either.

I turned my back and stepped into the room. Put back the phone that was in the grip above the nightstand. Then get ready to go to Mom's house.

A moment later, I was ready to wear a white T-shirt combined with a black denim jacket as an exterior and black chinos pants as his subordinates, as well as white sneakers that wrapped my feet. Immediately, take the car keys on the table and go out the apartment unit.

The journey to your home takes twenty minutes. The morning did not make the streets of the capital stuck as usual.

Indira opens the front door. He was surprised to see me standing in front of him. I put a small smile on my stepbrother.

"How are you, pregnant lady?" my broom.

"Sir Rey .... Tumben to the house."

"I want to see Mama."

"Mama is growing crops in the back garden with Daniel," Indira replied smiling back.

"All right, I'll be there."

I hurried to the back garden and found the couple-in-law and daughter-in-law crouching, working together to plant some ornamental trees and fruit trees. They seemed busy and unaware of my arrival.

"Ma, need some help?"

Mama and Daniel turned to look at me. Mama got up, immediately washed her hands under the running water tap. The woman I respect the most has stopped her activities and stepped over. His haughty face made me raise one eyebrow while smiling.

"This brat, it's gone home apparently," he said annoyed. He then sat his body on a bamboo chair.

"Hello, Mama. I just stopped for a while and have not been interested in staying here again" I said, sitting next to him.

I looked towards his face. Mama's eyes stared straight at the dapan. I don't know what he's thinking. Then he looked towards me.

"You'd better get engaged to Kayla. Just called Mama and insisted on continuing with your engagement plans."

"Masa, anyway? You don't brag. The proof, his parents still want to make a message with Mama."

I breathed to hear Mama's explanation. I'm really not interested in Kayla.

"Ma, is Sheryl not good enough to be a daughter-in-law?" ask me to divert the conversation.

Hearing my words, Mama turned her head still with the look of her haughty face.

"Geez!" said screaming.

"If she was my destined soul mate, how would she be?" tanyaku seriously.

"Rey, a soul mate is a choice. Never expect something that is not yours. Your soul mate is Kayla. Point!" firmly Mana was upset.

"But he's sorry, Ma. What if Baruna leaves him forever?"

"You wish your stepbrother had died? That's so bad of you, Rey!"

"I was just doubting. The accident was very bad. He is still in a coma in the ICU. I'm so sorry to see Sheryl keep crying."

Mama nodded then shook her head, saying, "Tomorrow we'd better meet with a psychiatric specialist. Mama can't stand to see you getting worse and worse hallucinating negative things."

I laughed, taking Mama's words seriously. My mind is a hundred percent healthy. I was just drunk on the romance I felt. Why is it that suddenly this heart is filled with hope that Sheryl will choose me?

"Rey, is that a really funny thing for you?" the one who saw me suddenly got serious.

"Mama thinks I'm crazy. Of course it's a funny thing" I said, smiling.

"Don't scare Mama. You've shown madness, Rey. At least you should get married first and give your Mama a grandchild. After that, it's up to you to do what. I am tired of seeing this kind of behavior. I am so sorry to have told you to come back to this country. It's no use at all."

"Bg .... Why is Mama so bad about me. Ma, I want to get married, but with the person I love. I don't want to have the same marriage fate as Mama and Father Anton felt. Enough of you to set an example for me not to do the same in the future."

My mother was silent to my explanation. His face became sad for a moment. He got up from his seat and just left me.

Indira who had just come to bring drinks and snacks turned her head confused towards Mama who walked away from us.

"Why mom, sister?" tanyakanya.

"Dir, Reynand made Mama angry and sad at the same time" said Daniel who had listened to our conversation.

"Sister, don't make Mama a lot of mind. Lately his asthma has recurred a lot and his blood pressure is always high because he thinks about your future" added Indira.

I did not respond to Indira's words. With a quick step, immediately walk after Mama who has entered the room, aloof.

I saw him sitting on a pillow against the bed. His mouth was pursed, a sulking sign.

"Ma ..," call me.

My mother's figure turned her face away. He looked the other way. Don't want to see my face.

I felt bad and said, "Mom don't be angry! I want to have your support. As a child, I just wanted to ask for my blessing."

"As far as you are!" grunting Mama pissed.

"Ma, Sheryl and I slept together" I said slowly.

Hearing my words, Mama saw me. His eyes were wide open staring in disbelief at the words that had just come out of my mouth. Then he laughed.

"Rey, you don't have to lie to get Mama's blessing."

"i'm serious. I've taken away his honor."

Mama then fell silent for a moment. His chest was seen rising and falling showing irregular breathing and gasping. He then held his left chest. Grimacing and looking in pain.

"Ma! Mama! Mama why?!" manya panic.

Mama did not answer. He was still holding his chest while pointing to the nightstand drawer next to him.

I opened the drawer and looked for Mama's inhaler. Soon, I gave you the tool. He started to breathe it through his mouth.

Before long, your breath starts to get regular. He closed his eyes. Tears flowed from both corners of her aging eyes. Seeing that, I felt a little guilty. Because of my honest words, his asthma suddenly relapsed.
