The Marriage Order

S2 Two Weeks

Reynand PoVs

I saw him sitting in front of me with his face down in shame. Kayla did not dare look me in the eye. This afternoon I was only able to meet the woman on purpose by coming to the set of her latest film.

We sat on a plastic bench facing each other. I folded my hands in front of my chest. Seeing him with sharp eyes. It was very eager to prosecute this woman and beat her up.

No, Reynand, she's a woman!

My heart told me many times that she was a woman so I wouldn't lose my mind and suddenly hit her.

"Lift your face! Your opponent is staring at you, "I command.

He did not lift his face either. It looks so good if he is scared and embarrassed.

"Do I have to use violence to talk to you, Kayla?!" my hardik.

"Shoppers!" he said while looking up.

"Of bastards don't curse each other" I said.

"Huh, who do you think you are? The good looks make me almost crazy!" said again.

"You're crazy yourself! Do not harm others. But, actually I want to thank you. Your actions yesterday smooth out my wedding plans with Sheryl. Without us confessing to Baruna, he'd have known it before the media."

"You two have bad names" said Kayla.

"I don't care what people say. In fact, until recently the company was fine. Your actions are futile and will only backfire on you, Kayla." I smiled grinning.

"No matter. I don't want to feel anything for you anymore."

"Goodoo. You better stay away. Or would you rather I report to the police?"

Kayla did not answer. Back to bowing your head. I just want to bully him. Her head was completely absent when facing me.

I got up from my seat. Turn around preparing to leave him. Suddenly he pulled my wrist. It stopped my steps.

"Don't separate two hearts that love each other. I also know what it's like. You're the real villain, Rey!"

"Don't interfere!" my orders while releasing my hands from her.

I hurried to get in the car. Turn it off leaving the set and back to the office.

I'm not a criminal! I love Sheryl and want to make her happy by marrying her.

Half an hour later it entered the Pradipta Corporation parking lot. My mom called me and told me to come to the office. As happened this morning at Sheryl's office, everyone's eyes were on me. Makes me a little irritated.

"Corn, Mr. Rey!" one of the famous receptionist who was the cause of gossip greeted me. I just glanced and raised next to my eyebrows, passing away leaving the woman. Hurry to Mom's room.

Without knocking on the door, I went in and found him sitting focused on some file in front of him.

"It has come apparently," he said without raising his head.

"Yes, Ma" I said, dropping my body on the chair.

Mama raised her face to see me. He frowned. Then open the glasses.

"It's a good thing your face is still clean, son," he said.

"I mean Mama?" many confused.

"Yes, it's a good thing that Anton wasn't trying to hit you like last night. You're looking for it because of it" complained Mama.

"It doesn't matter as long as it's comparable to what I got. Mama saw for herself last night, Sheryl protected me from my father's rampage."

"Huh, your love is blind to that woman" Mama said.

I just laughed. My mother then looked back at my face. He asked, "When are you getting married?"

"Fastly, as I told the media today."

"Rey .... Rey .... Why serve journalists? Take it easy," said Mama.

"Pity, Ma. They're doing their job looking for news. The time I avoided them?"

"Say if you want to show off the relationship to Baruna and her family" Mama laughed.

"I'm not like that, Ma" I replied.

Mom laughed at my answer. I have absolutely no thought of doing such a thing. Just trying to answer the reporter's question.

"When do you want to have a wedding?"

"That's too soon, Rey."

"I don't think so, Ma. I can't wait to marry her" I argued.

"But for WO and his bridal attire where can it be that fast?"

"Not necessarily magnificent. A simple party at Sheryl's. Invite relatives and friends. I want a private one, anyway. For fashion easy. Buy it in the boutique."

"Hey, Mama's not good at besan," she protested.

"I'll talk about it later." I got up from my seat hugging Mama, and whispered, "I love Mama."

"Mama loves you too."

"I went back to Dad's office first, Ma." I let go of Mama's embrace and turned around to get out of the room.

"Don't forget you have to move back home" Mama reminded.

"Yes, Ma" I replied, then walked out of Mama's study.

I walked down the office corridor and coincidentally met one of Sheryl's friends. He lowered his head while smiling salute me. I returned his smile too. Maybe he'll find me weird for never doing anything like this before.

Sheryl PoV's

I have seen the phone screen many times. Hoping for Kak Baruna to send a message or call me for a second. It even made me happy. However, what happened was that not a single message or phone came in other than Reynand.

I open and close the messaging app many times. Type something, but delete it later. Feeling doubt for fear of rejection. Again I tried typing.

"Dear, I miss you."

I looked at the writing for so long. I wanted to send it, but I was doubtful. Suddenly there was a call coming in. Irene called.

"Hello, Ren."

"Sheryl, what I saw earlier you won't believe. Mr. Reynand was at the office, I greeted him with a smile and he smiled back at me."

"Continue?"

"Yes, I was just avenged with a smile from the handsome sir. How are you doing with Baruna?"

Irene asked me something that brought me back tears. The water that made me suffer from yesterday. Does he not know the news at all?

"Decided." I wept.

"Decap? How can? Joking is not funny. Not long ago he was conscious of the coma, was he?"

"Lo don't see the news from yesterday on tv and online media?"

"What's wrong? I was busy yesterday. It hurts again. This is actually I should not go in, but I defend entering because it is not good at the length of the leave."

"Gue's the same Mr. Reynand is getting married." I'm still sobbing.

"Can we?! Is that what it is? Baruna pity dong." Irene sounded very surprised.

I also told him everything that had happened to him. It's been a long time since we've sent each other messages or met. Pouring my heart at an old friend made me a little relieved.

"Can it be? No one knows the soul mate."

"Gue doesn't want to marry her, Ren," I complained.

"Udah, you just walk. He's kind as it seems. Later also long in love like you first move on from Fandy." Irene comforted.

I was silent not answering. Look straight ahead. Daydreamed.

Bede. This taste is different altogether. I love Kak Baruna differently than I felt with Fandy. Although it was short, my heart had already fallen too deep for him. Feels dead when separated, and can not live again.

"Sher's? Sheryl's? Where's diem?" Irene asked across the phone.

"Eh .. Yes Ren. I'm sorry I'm dumb."

"Don't be dumb often. Yes, I am continuing to work. We meet sometime, yeah."

"Yes, Ren."

Irene ended her call. I went back to daydreaming. Keep daydreaming all day. Free to enter work. My thoughts are always with Baruna.

I glanced at my phone. My message was accidentally sent to him. Two blue ticks since ten minutes ago. However, there is no reply.
