The Marriage Order

S3 You're so stupid, Rey!

I sat alone in the waiting room. Mother has arrived since last night. She kept crying and was currently inside to see Dad's progress.

I could only take a deep breath and throw it away quickly. Not long after the door of intensive space was opened. Mother is seen there. I immediately got up to him.

"How's Dad doing, Bun?" much worry. How not? Since yesterday, I haven't been human.

Mother shook her head slowly. "There's been no progress, son."

I took a long breath and embraced Mother, accompanying her to sit beside me.

"I'm sorry, Bun," I said.

That apology just slid off my lips. I am so sorry I left him yesterday. Dad must have been so upset and angry that the heart attack came back since he last felt it long before Sheryl accepted me.

"Why do you keep apologizing?"

I got up from my seat and knelt before my real mother. The tears that have been held since yesterday can't be contained anymore. Just throw it away without me telling you. I bowed, very sorry.

"Everything happened because of me. As a child, I have failed you. Having a child out of wedlock that I didn't expect at all. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Bun."

"It's all happened, son ...." Mother was silent for quite a while, then I heard her slight sobs. Before long, he continued his words, "Don't let you regret like your father even though Rey forgave him but Mother knows his anxiety all along. You know, Rafael deserves the love of his real father."

So cowardly I can not see the Mother's face at this time. Just lowered his head and listened to his words that pierced the recesses of the heart.

"Then about Sheryl ...." Mother suddenly hung her words. I suddenly lifted my face to look at Mother.

"I didn't want her to know because she was pregnant. I don't want to burden his mind and let this be my business. Yesterday when I met Felicia, I thought of Sheryl. Guilt then penetrated my heart for hiding all this. I wanted to go home and say it, but Dad suddenly ...."

I shook my head slowly. Pulling my face away and looking the other way. These tears continued to grow, shed, and were merciless. I raised my arm and bit his back. Resist the sound of sobs that might disturb other visitors in this hospital.

"Sit down! It's not good to see others." Mother suddenly told me to sit down. I wiped my tears quickly and obeyed him. Move and sit back next to him.

"Bar, we can't keep it hidden like we did when we hid the debt agreement. Given Rafael's poor condition, you have to say this as soon as possible. Like it or not, Sheryl must accept this fact. Rafael is your son."

I can only bite my lips, hear the last sentence of Mother. A reality that cannot be changed. Time cannot turn back around just to defend and change my fate.

"Actually, I was more afraid that Sheryl was disappointed and hated me. I'm afraid I'm losing her, Bun."

"It's over, what can you do? Mom and Dad were disappointed, too, but it was an accident. You don't have a special relationship with that woman either."

Hearing Mother's words made me only be able to swallow. A lot of talking makes it dry like a barren desert. I took my phone out of my pocket and typed something.

[Good morning, dear. Wake up, not yet?]

Restaurant Hotel B, Tokyo.

"Yes, Kay. I'll just be a minute. Today or tomorrow as well go home," I said as I glanced at Sheryl who was enjoying her breakfast. He glanced back with a slightly faint grin.

"Yes. Why are you so noisy, anyway?"

"It's natural for women to be noisy. The unnatural is men–"

"Already! It's already! Did I just hang up the phone?" I cut Kayla's words.

"Haish! You shitty guy! Don't forget to give my regards to the entire Asyraf family that was there."

"Yes." Yeah."

Tut!

I cut Kayla's phone. It was amazing with him. It's only seven o'clock in the morning Tokyo time, it's an hour ahead of Jakarta, and he's been calling this early.

I took a long breath, put my phone on the table. My gaze then led to Sheryl turning to eat a small plate of fruit in front of her. Beautiful eyes don't move on from me. The most annoying thing is that he still grieves.

"Why do you see me like that?" I put on a pouting face for her.

"Rey ... Rey... Why don't you just go out with Kayla?" He asked back while shaking slowly.

And I replied to that question with a question while pointing myself in front of him. "You want me to date her?"

"He-em. You guys are a good fit. Beautiful and handsome. Your family relationships are good too. What else are you thinking? Later Kayla hunt someone take, you know," he said while chuckling.

I was silent for a moment hearing his words. Although he was cursing, the look on his face could not lie. Something was weighing him down.

I'm a little disappointed. It was easy for Sheryl to have me date Kayla. She should have thought of the fate of her marriage alone being at stake right now. I'm pretty sure Sheryl would be very disappointed to learn that Baruna has another woman of her dreams. But it is ... Stupid and innocent it is very thin the difference when in love. Like I was escorting her away with him like this.

"If you knew me first than Baruna, would you choose me?" The question quickly slipped from my lips. Really am! I wonder the answer.

Sheryl who was chuckling immediately stopped her laughter. He looked awkwardly asked like that. Quickly grab a piece of watermelon with his fork. But as I was about to put the piece of fruit into my mouth, I grabbed her wrist.

"Can you give me an answer first before eating the fruit?"

Slowly Sheryl put her fork back on the plate. He seemed to be breathing out a long breath. Staring at me with his serious face water.

"Rey, I'm married and pregnant. What do you expect from my condition like this? Is this a good time to talk about your feelings? Or do you want me to split up with Baruna?"

The deg!

Holy hooch! What did I just say? You just made Sheryl mad!

I cursed in my heart. Sheryl changed her facial water, turned sullen. He quickly stood up.

"I'm done. I'm going to the hospital now!" he said he immediately grabbed his handbag. Without any more words the woman rushed away leaving me.

I fell silent, pecking. I was busy blaming myself impatiently. My eyes closed while continuing to take a deep breath and throw it away.

"You're a stupid man, Rey! Now he's really gone!" sorry in the murmur.
