The Marriage Order

S3 Crying Again

Sheryl Pov's

"Sheryl doesn't like sweet food!" Brother Reza suddenly got up from his seat approaching me and Reynand.

"Oh ..," said Reynand with a slightly clumsy gaze.

"No. Today I want to eat sweet." I refute what Reza said. Quickly pick up one of the small buckets of chocolate-flavored ice cream.

"What happened to you, Dek? You'd rather eat that ice cream than enjoy your dinner menu."

Reza set his eyes on a tray of hospital food that tasted very bland. I purposely did not touch it and let the food cool down on the nightstand. Meanwhile, I think ice cream can neutralize the taste in my mouth that is not careless.

"I don't like hospital food. It's tasteless!" I sniffed while opening the small bucket ice cream cover in my hand. But because of the slight emotion of opening it, the cover was hard to tear. Reynand who was in front of me suddenly extended her hand.

"This is open for you" he said.

Hearing his words, I immediately thrust the ice cream at Reynand. Suddenly, Reza grabbed him.

"Do you think your siblings are useless!" said Kak Reza with a slightly satirical tone and then gave the ice cream bucket that had been opened to me.

"Thank you, Brother."

I grabbed it while touching it with a knotty smile. Without hesitation began to enjoy the mouthfuls after mouthful of cold, sweet food that instantly melted in my mouth.

Reynand who was between us just kept quiet and did not comment in the slightest, although inwardly he might have cursed upset because of Kak Reza's unexpected attitude. He kept casting his never-dull eyes on me. I used to be afraid of that view, but now I'm not anymore and I'm getting used to it. I think it's because we had a better relationship than when we first met.

"Then I go home, yes!" reynand suddenly said. The man seemed to let out a long sigh for a moment, implying an uncomfortable reaction to being in this room.

One mouthful of ice cream stopped right in front of my mouth. "Will you go home?" my many.

"Yes. I'm just gonna take a second, make sure you're okay and it's not as bad as I thought" he said.

Reza immediately looked at him. His frown seemed to disagree with Reynand's words. His cynical look at Reynand was inevitable.

"Sheryl is fine, really. Our family keeps him here. Do you think he'll fall because there's no Baruna by his side now? Baruna will be home soon. So you don't have to bother coming back and forth here."

I boughtak heard the spontaneous speech of Reza. He shouldn't have to be fiery about saying things that aren't in place. Reynand was wrong. He just wanted to bring me ice cream. If treated like that, Reynand's emotions might be provoked by it.

I'd love to rebuke Reza. But unexpectedly, Reynand only nodded while speaking in a flat tone.

"Yes, I know."

A line of repulsive smiles was engraved on the face of Kak Reza as a response to Reynand's words that seemed to budge.

The phone suddenly rang. Reza turned to the table near the sofa. Cellphone ringing. He immediately shuffled up to pick it up and started to get busy answering the phone.

Reynand turned to me with a slight review of a smile that never changed. "Rest. Don't sleep too late" he said.

"Yes, thank you, Rey. Thanks for the ice cream, too" I said.

The man just nodded then started to step foot towards the exit. But just a few steps, I saw Reza's sister who just put her phone in her pocket walking towards Reynand.

"Hey, Rey!" call Brother Reza.

Reynand stopped his steps, and then there was a conversation between them that I could not hear. I only saw Reynand nodding her head. A second later, Brother Reza approached me.

"Sir, stay a while, yeah."

"Sister wants to approach Kak Dita. Poor him. On the way here suddenly his car broke down on a deserted road" he explained.

"Still far?"

"Well, about twenty minutes from here."

"Yes, just follow up. I'm fine, Brother."

"No. Brother asked Rey to accompany you for a moment. Can you, Rey?" Reza looked at him. It seemed that the emotions he had displayed just disappeared.

"Yes, Za. Can." Reynand answered flatly.

"Don't do anything weird. Brother believes in you" Sister Reza whispered to me.

"What a weirdo, anyway? Don't see my belly this big, huh?" annoyed I heard the message, and then turned my eyes to Reynand. He didn't seem to hear our conversation.

"Sister, don't you ever forget Baruna's position even though you're far apart right now."

The words of Brother Reza who said that made me think back to how the last conversation I had and my husband. He could not come because he would rather be there than here accompanying his wife.

"Baruna is still my husband. I also did not forget my status, Brother."

"Good girl."

Reza extended his hand. I shuffled the top of my head. I quickly pulled his arm away from my head.

"Haish! There go!" my nag.

Reza just nodded and got out of the chair. His steps came to a halt in front of Reynand who was still standing not far from the door of the room. She seemed to say something more to Reynand before finally leaving my nursery.

Reynand moved from her position, walking leisurely towards me. "It seems, I still have to watch you eat that ice cream until it runs out" he said with a swooping glance at the ice cream bucket in my hand.

"It's too much. I'm getting nauseous" I said, then gave it to Reynand.

"You haven't spent the rest." Reynand pointed to a plastic bag containing various types of ice cream on top of the nightstand.

"Haish! Don't joke, Rey! Just share it with the patients and nurses out there," I said, grabbing the plastic bag and giving it to Reynand. Inevitably, Reynand accepted immediately.

"alright. I'll leave you for a minute."

I'm nodding. The man then left with the ice cream and left me.

I exhaled a rough breath. Staring at the phone was very quiet and there was not a single notification from Baruna.

What is he doing now? Why not also tell me? What is the situation after the action taken by the doctor? Is she healthy? What was he doing with Felicia? Haish! I don't like this kind of situation!

I'm down. I started to shed my tears back. Falling down following the gravity of the earth also blew my heart away to the bottom. The tears were no longer able to hold until the sound of Reynand greeting in silence.

"Sheryl, are you crying?"

 

Hola! Author says hello! How's story? Boring or boring? Hehe. I watched and replied to each comment in each chapter. If it feels too long the story goes, like I said you can be unloved. Honestly, I'm limited in everything. Writing is like living in two worlds and I don't want to get caught up in it and want to write at will. For those who still enjoy reading this story, I hope you are patient, yes!
