The Marriage Order

S3 He's my son

Sheryl POV

In the afternoon I stood on the balcony of my room. Feel the breeze that keeps hitting. I looked at the garden behind the Asyraf residence. Seems lonely not to see life.

Usually seeing that place always evokes memories between me and Baruna. From childhood, adolescence, then growing up and becoming a couple until now. Unlike this afternoon, the park was like nothing else. Ever since I saw him, it keeps me thinking about Reynand. I was so guilty of him. His condition has not improved since Baruna last called Aunt Aina asking her how she is.

Suddenly I felt an arm holding me from behind. I turned my head, and found my husband's face leaning against his shoulder.

"Still thinking about it?" baruna asked, glancing at me.

I nodded slowly. It was impossible not to think about Reynand's situation. I caused him to fall ill again.

"It seems you are very worried about Reynand," Baruna said again and kissed me on the neck.

"Darling, this is not the time" I said, rejecting his sudden action and turning my body until our faces were now staring at each other.

For a long time I looked into his eyes without a word being said. My brain just went blank in front of my husband.

Baruna took a deep breath. "Rest. You haven't even touched your lunch yet" Baruna said.

I looked at him with trembling eyes. Recollecting how Aunt Aina continued to abuse me along with her extremely scathing remarks. My legs became limp remembering it and were about to fall down if Baruna did not rush to hold my body.

"Dear-Honey!" he called her anxious, but I cried.

Excuse me. Ii'm sorry. I don't know why it's like this?

Baruna hugged tightly, then carried me towards the bed. He put my body on the bed.

"Calm down. You just rest, honey," he said, then grabbed his phone.

"What are you gonna do?" ask me with wide eyes.

"Call Aunt Aina so you can calm down. I'll ask what it is now," he said again.

I nodded slowly. Baruna then called her Tante. Soon, he ended his call. His eyes looked at me with doubt.

"Hows it? How's it going, honey?" I'm just impatient.

"Just sober, but he kept calling your name, "he replied in a flat tone.

"Rey ...," I murmured without comment.

"I became more and more convinced that he still had a heart for you" Baruna said with a tear of jealousy.

"Darling ...." I can't say anything because everything Baruna just said is true. I paused for a moment, then said, "But, I'm your wife and soon we'll have a child." I stroked the belly in which was growing a human figure of our descendants.

Baruna smiled, then sat down on the edge of the bed. His hand stretched out and stroked my hair all of a sudden. His eyes became strange. Like someone who doesn't like it when his happiness is taken away. I was still with him. Not betraying him. Still contains the seeds.

"Yes. You're mine. The child in your womb is mine, too. No one else can snatch this happiness, dear," he said.

Although a little confused, I can only nod slowly. Baruna immediately hugged me very tightly, then whispered her love words many times.

Baruna POVs

Three days later in a hospital lobby cafe ....

My hands continued to tremble as I read a piece of paper I got from the hospital laboratory. Everything fits. Rafael—the boy Felicia said yesterday is really my son.

Then, what am I supposed to say to Sheryl? Instantly, the apocalypse was seen before the eyes.

"Then what now?" I'm like a clumsy guy.

"How, huh?" Felicia showed a line of her smile and then fell silent for a moment before she finally continued her words, "of course you have to take responsibility, Bar."

"Fel, whatever I'm gonna give you, as long as Sheryl doesn't know about this. I can pay for Rafael's entire medical expenses wherever you want, but don't ruin my household" I said, begging a little.

Felicia returned to her smile. "My house has run aground. The hell, you're asking for the opposite? So not fair, dong?"

I swallowed hearing his words. It's not my fault. It's her fault that she just disappeared and just appeared. I don't want this to make my household a mess. Sheryl is pregnant.

"Then what do you want, Fely?" tanyaku. I want to end the conversation that made my chest tight.

"In addition to the treatment of Rafael, I want you to divorce Sheryl. After David leaves, I want a whole family for my son. Rafael needs the figure of his biological father" Felicia replied with such ease.

"Are you crazy?!" I stood up and almost shouted in front of him. "I will never leave my wife!"

"Whatever it is, but I can make this big. And just so you know, Sheryl never loved you. He only loves Reynand, your stepbrother."

My eyeballs instantly widened looking at him. What else did he say, my God? Words that cannot be accounted for.

"That's my business!"

"My business when it comes to you! I care about you so much, Bar!" The woman in front of me got up from her seat.

My breath was almost stopped seeing it. I'm so sick of this conversation. It seems Felicia only cares about her own business. It's easy to say that Sheryl doesn't love me. Who does he think he is, huh?

I let out a long sigh, then took out a card that I put directly on the table. "Use the card to take Rafael abroad for treatment" I said.

Felicia glanced at him for a moment then turned her attention again. "Is this just your responsibility?"

"Let me know if you've found a suitable hospital. As much as possible, I'll help you take care of everything" I said, finally giving him a decision.

Felicia was silent. After saying this, I went out from before him. Really, this is not what I want. My life and Sheryl were fine before she showed her face in front of me.

Suddenly my phone rings. Sheryl called. "Yes, Honey?"

"I'm already in the hospital. Where are you, honey?" Sheryl's soft voice clearly made me realize that I couldn't live without her.

"Lobby," I answered briefly and walked quickly to the lobby.

From far away, Sheryl walks alone. We had agreed to meet at the hospital at lunchtime to visit Reynand. Aunt Aina said that her condition was better than three days ago.

I quickened my pace and hugged her. Sheryl looked at me in wonder. "What's up?"

"What?" askaku.

"You're suddenly hugging in a public place like this" he said.

"Kangen." I smile.

"What's that in your hand?" sheryl asked suddenly a glance at an envelope I was holding.

The deg!

"This ...." Scroll the envelope containing the results of my DNA test and Rafael's. I was silent, unable to answer.
