The Marriage Order

The Marriage Order
S2 Emotional Fencing



Me and Reynand just finished buying a ring for our wedding. We soon left the Aunt Meri jewelry boutique. My feelings were obviously chaotic back to seeing Kak Baruna so familiar with Nayara. They hold hands in front of me. Not long after, go somewhere.


Reynand, as usual, wanted attention. Heats up his half-brother until it's like that. He bought me two very beautiful rings and immediately pinned them on my ring finger.


"It's not really my ring of choice, Sher?"


"All the jewelry there is beautiful. Even the owner is a man. Dear barunaku. The most beautiful image of God."


Reynand seemed to be breathing. He looked in annoyance at me who was provoking anger.


"I'm lazy to argue, but you always provoke my anger, Sheryl" he said.


"You lured me first by deliberately buying a ring at the boutique" I said.


"Sheryl, I really don't know that place. It was just a coincidence meeting them to be there."


"Omong empty. I don't believe."


"Give up to you, Sheryl!" emphatically.


I didn't respond to his words. Tired of arguing with that guy. Outsmart this relationship so as not to arrive at the wedding day. He really didn't let me go.


Should I give up? Is there no place to hide? Or broad shoulders to just lean on peacefully. I miss him so much. Brother Baruna, have you started to turn away from your feelings for me?


"I'm hungry. We eat first" Reynand said as he quickened his pace. The clutches of his burly arms forced me to quickly follow in his footsteps.


"Rey, let's just go home" I said slowly.


Reynand's steps stopped. He flipped his body looking at me confused.


"You haven't eaten since morning, Sher. Look at your body taking care of you. Your eyes are also getting sunken. People will think I'm constantly persecuting you."


"It's true."


"Geez!" Reynand scratched his non-itchy head. "Oh, we'll just go home."


Me and Reynand turned towards the parking area. His face looks upset. I don't care about him at all. Let him continue to eat the heart out of annoyance.


Today is Saturday. The highway looks a little quiet. Reynand drove his car at a moderate speed. He was driving while remaining silent all the way.


Hey, I should've silenced him. Why is he the one who silenced me?


We almost got to my house, but all of a sudden he turned his car the other way. Makes me very surprised by his behavior.


"Where are we going, Rey?" my many.


"My apartment."


"You what?" I'm starting to get scared.


"Anything can. It's a pity to miss the day off just to laze around" he said with a smile.


I swallowed hearing his answer. My silent substitute did not answer. His behavior makes me wonder. He's a real bitch. I hope he doesn't do anything to me.


Twenty minutes later we arrived at the fifteen-storey building. Reynand entered the parking area and parked it. We got out of the car too.


Reynand clasped my hand walking towards the elevator and pressed the eighth floor button. Not long after, the elevator doors opened. We went out and walked to his apartment.


A woman we knew was standing at the door. Kayla looks like she wants to visit, but looks hesitant. The woman turned her eyes towards us.


"Rey!" call him.


"Kaila?" Reynand raised next to his eyebrows. We continued to step closer to Kayla.


"Yes. Hi, how's Sheryl doing?" Kayla extended her hand to shake hands.


How are you doing? Crazy .... This woman asked me after what she did. One of the people who broke my relationship with Baruna.


I miss not answering it. I did not welcome that hand at all. He immediately lowered his hand. His face was a little disappointed. Before long, his face looked up, looking at Reynand with a smile.


"I really wanted to see you, Rey," Kayla said.


Reynand did not immediately answer Kayla's words. He immediately unlocked his apartment.


Kayla nodded. We went to Reynand's apartment. Kayla and I sat on her long sofa.


Reynand left us both. He went to another room. I who felt very uncomfortable being near the woman immediately caught up with her.


"Rey, you better accompany Kayla. I'm not comfortable being around him. He wants to see you anyway, not me" I asked.


"All right." Reynand kissed my forehead and went towards her living room.


Haish .... Always dipping away. Arrggghhhh!


I am alone in the kitchen of his apartment. Suddenly a crazy idea came to my mind. I made two cups of black coffee with a pinch of salt for those two shitty guys.


"Feel my vengeance! You guys are a very suitable couple. It's pretty good to taste my salty coffee!" my growl.


****


Reynand PoVs


I approached Kayla in the living room. The woman sat leaning against the sofa while playing her phone. Raising next to the eyebrows saw him.


What's he gonna do here?


Immediately sit down facing him. Kayla raised her face to see me. He gave a smile.


"What's up?" many cold.


"Just curious about how you and Sheryl are doing. It turns out you guys are really shameless," he snorted.


"If you just want to say something unimportant, don't come here. I'm sick of seeing you."


"Hey, we can make friends again, Rey. Moreover, I just got your wedding invitation from Aunt Aina" Kayla said.


I took a deep breath and threw it away. Looking at himself with a cynical look.


Why did Mom invite him to my wedding?


"I'm not interested in being who you are now!" my ketus.


"Tante Aina alone doesn't take revenge on me. Why is her son so vindictive?" Kayla hit back cynically.


I didn't chimed in on his words. Immediately turned my face away. Suddenly Sheryl came carrying a tray in her hand. He put two cups of coffee in front of us, and then went back inside.


"Sheryl," call me.


He turned his head towards me while raising next to his eyebrows. "What's up?"


I took her hand, told her to sit down and join us. However, he refused, "I want to go to the minimarket for a while below. You don't have any snacks in the kitchen."


"Snacks?"


"Yes. In the kitchen there is only coffee. No food as a snack" he said.


I haven't answered, but Sheryl's standing up and turning her back to leave us out of the apartment.


Haish .... He really likes me!


I turned towards Kayla who was pecking with flat water. He didn't say anything else.


"Is there still something you want to say, Kay?" my many.


"No. Hope your marriage is good. I will definitely come." he said as he raised his coffee cup and sipped it slowly. Suddenly her eyeballs widened and spewed her coffee back onto the cupbed plate while opening her mouth wide, the woman's tongue slightly outstretched. "Crazy .... Sheryl hates me so much. My coffee's salty, Rey!"


I scrunched my forehead. Trying to drink my coffee. It feels the same as Kayla said. It's salty!


Damnit damnit! He's fishing for my emotions right now!


Five minutes later a message notification came in on my phone. Message from Sheryl.


Sorry Rey, I'm home first. I don't seem to feel well after half a day with you. I'm sorry, but that salted coffee does suit both of you. Fuck together!


I just shook my head at the message. He really pissed me off today.
