The Marriage Order

S2 Wedding Plan

Reynand PoVs

I grabbed my phone from the bed. A notification of incoming application messages. Audio and video messages from Kayla. I opened the message. Two voices of women speaking. A voice I know very well. Sheryl and Kayla.

Kayla: "Sheryl, how do you feel about Reynand? Why do you have so much sex with my boyfriend? You promised me not to betray your own friends, but look? You also did not hesitate to betray your fiance."

Sheryl : "...."

Kayla: "It turns out you and Reynand are the most selfish and hypocritical human beings in the world!"

The recording suddenly stopped. I was shocked when I heard the recording. The other video footage I also opened carefully. My heart beats fast. The video playing the encounter between Kayla and Sheryl was recorded there.

A text message notification from Kayla also came in.

"Still want to continue? What if both of these recordings were released to the media? Your Papa Company and Sheryl's Papa must be in the fog. Then I'm making a rapport in the infotainment about me being the victim of your relationship with Sheryl. Your lives will be ruined, Rey!"

I bit my own lips confused. Kayla was so desperate to interfere in my affairs. Like now he dared to threaten me to this extent.

Without wasting any time, I called the woman. My emotions were so strong that I wanted to hit him. However, Kayla was a woman I had never beaten with my hands.

Long voice voice heard. Until he finally picked up his phone.

"Hello, Rey! Ah, long time waiting for you to call me. I can't wait to talk to my handsome man."

"Kay, don't joke! Not funny your threats!" my hardik.

"You'd rather be threatened apparently, just get in touch with me."

"...." - ".I'm speechless.

"Listen yes, Rey! If I get sick, then you should get sick too. I wonder how the media will fry your news. Business news and entertainment converge. Talking about the struggle between brothers fighting over the same woman. Worse, the woman had been slept by one of them who turned out to be the girlfriend of a famous model and artist who was on the rise. Ah, it's gonna be a lot." Kayla's laughter sounded crisp in my ears.

"Fuck you, Kay!"

"What's more fucking with someone who took away a girl's honor when she was drunk?"

"Kay, if you do that, I don't hesitate to report you to the police station for threatening and defamatory acts."

"Report it. I'm not afraid, Rey baby!"

Kayla turned off the phone. That woman makes me sicker. Maybe you have an idea like this.

But this is what I want. I want everyone around me to know our relationship and to what extent we relate. However, not by preaching it to the whole country.

I called Kayla. The girl answered quickly.

"So how, Rey baby?"

"We need to meet" I said.

"For?"

"Talk about this."

"don't want. Unless you agree to marry me."

I'm speechless. The threat this time was no joke.

"Hows it? I want you to meet your mama and my family to talk about our marriage. No need for marriage. Get engaged first."

"I can't."

"Then forget it!"

"So?"

"Give me time to think."

"okay, Rey. I'm giving you two weeks. I hope I get some good news. Otherwise, this tape will be released to the media soon and I'm the only one holding the original file."

Kayla hung up the phone again. Makes my heart so angry. How not, someone I thought was a spoiled girl could do something this desperate. I have to find a way to stop his actions.

Baruna PoVs

Sheryl just said goodbye. Tonight, my mother will be back with me. He was peeling an apple in his hand. Cut it up to several pieces and put it on a plate. I glanced at the phone above the nightstand and grabbed it. It was my only entertainment in the hospital. The doctor said that my condition is stable and I can go home tomorrow. It's happy!

An Instakilogram notification appears. The profile of a woman named Nayara asked for permission to follow my profile. I also opened his profile. A familiar face was there. A girl friend who was close to me in high school.

Nayara Princess Letisha. My mind drifted through a time long buried in memories eleven years ago. The beautiful woman I had praised her figure when Sheryl didn't return my feelings. We became close and were timid to confess our feelings to each other. The love of monkeys that make the heart always feel pounding when meeting face to face with him.

I smiled at myself remembering the unimportant thing and responded to agree to her request to follow my social media.

"Son, here's the apple." Mother came up to me and gave me a piece of apple that was clean from the skin.

I took one piece and chewed it slowly. That apple cut was sweet in my mouth. Added to the love of a mother. I smiled at him.

"Bun, thank you."

"For?"

"Being a good mother all along. Educate me like this. Waiting for me while I'm sick. Makes me a grown man who will soon be single. I'm sorry if I have so much wrong with you."

Mother was stunned for a moment to hear my words. His eyes were a little teary about to cry. Not long after her tears fell.

"Bun, why are you crying?" my many.

"Baruna, Mommy is very moved. You used to be just this way in Mother's team." Mother practiced her way of carrying me as a baby.

"Yes, Bun. Now I'm an adult. It'll even give you funny grandkids later."

"Yes, Honey. When are you planning to go ahead with your wedding plans with Sheryl?" ask Mommy.

"I want Sheryl to be my wife as soon as possible. In fact, if need be tomorrow when I get out of the hospital. Recorded our marriage in the civil registry."

"Ish .. This child. It can't all be that easy." Mother warns.

"The old man, why is his mind so complicated? Just get married, Bun. Like that I'm happy too."

"Can't! You're our only child. Everything must be planned perfectly. In fact, if you need to make a wedding dress again."

"There's no need to overdo it like that. The existing clothes are also good. Melani made our clothes perfect. After all making a big party is a waste of money for the company. What's more after I've been hurt like this, it's all for nothing." I gave Mother an explanation.

"Don't think about it. The cost issue is the concern of both parents. You and Sheryl stay prepared," she said.

Parents always win.

"Yes, I understand." I began to give up on refuting his words.

"It's good if you understand. Mother just takes care of it. Three months how about?"

"Two months," I bargained.

"Well, Mommy's gonna talk to your dad."

I got back to my phone. Type a message for my Sheryl that must have reached her house.

"Good night, honey. Happy resting. May you dream well."
