The Marriage Order

That Woman

The atmosphere of the dinner that had been alive became silent immediately after Kak Baruna lifted his legs and went somewhere. I looked left and right, but they all said nothing.

"I deeply apologize for what happened earlier. It's beyond our expectations that Baruna will be like that. But relax, I know my son. Later he will also return after feeling calm, " explained Om Anton.

"Yes, I totally understand. This decision was so sudden for him. Our family is very familiar" replied Papa.

Aunty Meri turned to Om Anton to give a signal and then responded with a meaningful Om Anton nod.

"Sorry I stayed a while." Aunt Meri interrupted the conversation.

He got out of his chair and walked out of the room. I watched Aunt Meri, her ever-smiling look changed radiating worry.

What exactly is going on? I don't understand the situation in this family. Grandpa Awan was similarly irresponsible for his words. Where did Baruna go? He just disappeared.

"Sister Baruna went where huh? Why am I being left like this?" muttered.

I called Brother Baruna. There was a continuous tone but he did not answer it. I repeated it many times and there was no answer. Reza's sister who saw me tried to calm me down.

"It's quiet. He'll be in touch soon."

"I want to go home, sister" I replied slowly.

"You home? You've gone home with your brother."

"Then what is the big brother's girlfriend?"

Brother Reza turned to his girlfriend, "Sorry, my dear sister, you haven't introduced her to you yet."

Brother Reza's lover then reached out to shake his hand, "Dita."

"Sheryl," I replied in return.

"Are you his acquaintances? Then I take Dita away and then we go home. Okay?"

"Yes." I replied.

"Yes already. We're saying yes Om, Ma, Pa,"

"Yes, be careful on the road. Antar Dita used to be Za," said Mama.

"Ready Ma."

"Sher forgive the behavior of Om's child tonight huh. Tomorrow tell him to apologize and pick you up early in the morning" added Om Anton.

"Yes Om, we're saying yes."

We stepped out of the house. Reza's sister turned on the engine of her car. I sit in the back seat. I pulled out my phone and opened a social media account. An invitation for a High School reunion was clearly posted on my account.

A reunion?

"Come no?" muttered.

School is a wonderful time. I wanted to come, but I was too lazy to meet that person. Ah .. so remember that person. The friend who stabbed me in the back. Somehow it's going. I don't want to think about it anymore.

I shook my head quickly to remove the negative thoughts that were stirring in my brain. My gaze then turned to two people who were currently in love with each other. I noticed, they were sitting in front of me chatting with each other spoiled as if the world only belonged to the two of them and I was just contracting. I'm envious!

I was pensive and so remembered the early days of me dating Fandy. The situation at that time seemed to be the same as what they were feeling now.

Ah .... I finally thought back to him. Fandy must still be mad at me. He hasn't called me in all day.

I shook my head. My thoughts are back on Kak Reza and Kak Dita. My smile expands, I have a silly idea for those who make me jealous.

"What if I interrupt them?" mummy smiles.

Dita looked at me. He replied, "High School Time, Sher. Lost contact with him. But we met again after all these years when there was a reunion," replied Dita smiling.

"Reuni huh?"

"Yes we're getting close again. We used to be close, but we didn't date. Finally now we have a commitment," added Reza.

"Sister, how about a sister who gets married first? You guys are very compatible. Your son will be beautiful and handsome. I've been okay lately."

"You go first, Sher. Don't run from Baruna anymore. He's serious about you. Family plans are also more mature about your marriage. You two really pissed me off a long time ago" replied Reza.

"I'm sorry why?" many confused.

"I'm upset you guys never made it" replied Reza.

"Why is my sister talking about me? I'm talking about you guys. Huft .. sebal!" I folded my hands over my chest.

"Mahaha ...." Brother Reza laughed out loud.

Brother Dita laughed. They fit in and make me anxious. Envy re-entered my heart.

"Dak Dita don't regret choosing Kak Reza. He has a lot of negative qualities. Usually, if the promotion period is definitely fine exit. Anyway Kak Dita must selectively choose a life partner."

"You don't support Kaka, Dek? Tega was once a sister. Hicks ...." Reza interjected and pretended to be sad.

Brother Dita just laughs shyly to see the look on his lover's face. I'm going to laugh. Some time later we arrived at Kak Dita's residence.

"I didn't stop by, baby," said Reza.

"It's okay, baby."

"I'll go home first. You immediately rest yes. Don't sleep late."

Brother Dita nodded. Brother Reza then kissed Kak Dita's forehead and passed away. Me and Reza continued on our way home.

At ten in the night we arrived home. I stepped into my room. Today is a very exhausting day. Reza also went into his room. My phone rang, Fandy called me.

"Sher, where are you now?"

"At home."

"Tomorrow I'll pick you up."

"Yes I've been waiting for."

Fandy ended his phone call. That short time he called me tonight. His mood is still not good.

I lay myself on the bed. I yawned many times so sleepy. It feels lazy to get out of bed to just clean your own face.

I closed my eyes. My mind drifted for a moment thinking about the events of today. The angry Fandy, the angry Baruna Sister, Grandpa Awan's decision that surprised us all, and the announcement of the relationship between Kak Reza and Kak Dita. Then I who is not necessarily the direction carried by the flow of family decisions have no choice.

Not long after that there was a message coming into my phone from Kak Baruna.

"I'm sorry I can't take you home tonight. I'll pick you up for work tomorrow morning."

I opened the message. My eyes were so sleepy that I didn't realize I was only replying to one word.

"Yes." Yeah."

I didn't realize I was asleep. My phone I just left lying on my bed still with the sound of incoming messages in my ear.
