The Marriage Order

A Warning

The afternoon sky was so bright it was dominated by an orange-colored sky. Mr. Zaki was sitting in the steering wheel driving the car with his focus. Me and Reynand sat in the back seat. We were both silent and did not talk much after we met Indira.

I keep wondering if they are brothers? Why did he say he did not know Indira, while Indira was the opposite? It's none of my business and I'm too afraid to ask. Why am I taking care of his business, and I don't want him to take care of my personal affairs?

I looked at him, he seemed to be pensive to himself. He turned back to me and realized I was just watching him. I hurriedly turned my face away from attracting attention. Busy yourself with a smartphone in your hand.

"Don't look at me like that!" his orders in a trenchant tone.

"Sorry, sir."

"I beg you to assume that this incident never existed and I have no obligation to explain it to you."

His words struck me in my thoughts. I guess I don't care what happens either. That's his personal business.

"Yes sir, I understand."

Mr. Reynand was busy with his cell phone. Sometimes he smiled and seriously together when he looked at the small digital object.

The time was five o'clock when we arrived at the office. The traffic jam of the capital city made the traffic slightly hampered. I walked in and did a fingerprint absence home. Mr. Reynand walked into the elevator to his room.

"The her!"

I turned to the source of the voice, "Irene!"

"Where is today? Working with a handsome boss." Irene asked while chuckling.

"Beautiful is handsome. But his personality is no, not really."

"Then anyway? How can ya? The feeling of introductions was normal."

"Gue thought so too. I've also met in the elevator before to talk."

"I don't think that's what Sher told you yet."

"That's not important. Go home, yuk! My brother's getting me." Soon." I took Irene home followed by a nod of agreement with Irene.

Just as Irene and I walked out, Mr. Reynand called me. I answered his phone too.

"Sheryl, please come to my room for a moment!" his orders.

"But now it's time to go home, sir," I argue.

"You're arguing?!" Mr. Reynand's voice is high.

I turned towards Irene who was waiting for me to receive a call and gestured for her to go home first. Irene understood and rushed home alone.

"Okay sir, I'll be right there."

I disconnected the phone call and rushed into the elevator. He quickly stepped foot into his room.

Wh-tok-tok!

"Lake in!" let it come from inside the room.

I went in and saw Mr. Reynand standing looking out the window made of a large glass wall in front of him.

"What's calling me again, sir?"

Mr. Reynand turned his head for a moment, stepping sitting in his chair.

"Please sit down."

I sat my body in front of him. Looked at his serious looking face. His eyes were also staring sharply.

"I don't know what your motivation is to work for my company. The only daughter of Mr. Agung Praja Kusuma who has a company of that size can work in my company which is arguably a competitor of his own company. I don't want any spies here. I want to remind you once again, I dislike people who lie and betray." Mr. Reynand warned me.

"Great knowledge you analyzed me that far. I don't have any strange intentions, sir. I just want to work somewhere else comfortably. That's all."

"Yes Sir. When I lied? What loyalty do I lack in this company? I thought you called me because there was something serious but it turned out .... Oh, come on, I'm home first." I got out of my seat and left him alone.

Mr. Reynand just fell silent not to return my words. His eyes still looked at me in disbelief. Just let him think what he wants. I don't care at all.

A few days later I was in front of the lobby. My phone suddenly rang. Brother Baruna called me.

"Home home?" ask Brother Baruna.

"Yes Brother. I'm waiting for Reza to pick me up."

"Oh .... My business here turned out to be finished sooner than expected. I can go home tomorrow."

"Goodoo. I'm glad it's over."

"I take a shower first. I'll call you back."

"Yes, Brother."

Baruna then disconnected her phone along with Kak Reza's car which stopped right in front of me. I immediately got into the back seat.

"Sir, can you cooperate with such a person?" tanyanya while driving a car.

"I'm sorry, but I'll get used to it later too. Take it easy, brother."

"Yes, if you can still handle it, you can calm down" said Kak Reza.

"When does Baruna come home, son?" ask Papa.

"Mayday's possible, Pa."

Papa just nodded in understanding. He didn't ask me anything more. Then the three of us just had a light chat during the trip home.

Time showed at half-seven as we got home. Reza's sister parked her car. Papa and I went inside greeted by Mama who immediately brought Papa's briefcase into the room.

I went into my room and immediately laid myself on the bed. My hand grabbed my phone and saw some news on social media.

Afterwards, I heard my phone ringing, a call from Aunt Meri. I answered the phone from him too.

"Hello, Sheryl's son."

"Hello Auntie."

"Have you reached home yet?"

"Aunty. What's going on, Auntie, call me tonight?"

"Tante just wants to let you know that Melani has designed some dresses that you might like to wear at the wedding."

"Wedding dress?"

"Yes. Soon you and Baruna will get married. It's a little time, but Auntie told Melani to come up with some plans for you to choose."

"I chose it, Tan?"

"Yes, you choose to marry. When can you get to the shop? If you can, sooner is better."

"I'm up to Baruna sister when can I. We should try both, right?"

"Oh yes, Baruna will also have to adjust clothes. Aunt almost forgot. Yes, later on Aunty conveyed to Baruna to both go to Melani's boutique with you."

"Yes, Aunt."

Aunt Meri then hung up. I sat on the edge of the bed. Just realized that it turned out that I was not thinking at all about wedding dresses and weddings. Just thinking about the engagement event my head feels dizzy especially the wedding. Our wedding and engagement are getting closer.

My mind floated imagining Brother Baruna who was going to be my husband. I was so confused I couldn't do anything anymore. How can I marry without love. Am I going to be happy?
