The Marriage Order

Let Me Understand

My watch showed at six in the afternoon when we arrived at Melani's boutique. Brother Baruna grabbed my hand holding it tightly. I was shocked by his sudden and unusual actions like that. My heart beats twice as fast as usual. As much as possible I set myself to look ordinary.

Melani welcomes those of us who come to her shop. That afternoon the boutique looked empty of visitors.

"Good Afternoon Mas Baruna and Sister Sheryl. Welcome to my shop."

"Melani's Afternoon."

"Melani has prepared some plans that maybe Ms. Sheryl and Mas Baruna like. Come on, come on, Melani."

Melani steps towards her desk. She opened a book of her own fashion design and began to explain the dresses she recommended.

"Here Melani actually has prepared five types of wedding dresses. But according to Sheryl's pear-like body type, Melani will recommend two ball gown and a line dress designs. Sheryl's mom can see this like this." Melani pointed to two pictures in her book.

Me and Baruna looked into the book. I saw two dresses that really impressed me. Beautiful and beautiful dress.

"It can be designed according to what I want?"

"Can Mbak. Which one does Sheryl like?"

"Where is Brother?" I looked towards Baruna.

"free. Just pick what you want."

"I chose a line drees without arms. I want to look elegant and elegant."

"Can Sheryl's Mother. How about the color?"

"Just a little gray, ma'am."

"good. Later Melani choose for the material."

Brother Baruna only noticed me and Melani interacting. Sometimes he picks up his phone because there is an urgent incoming phone.

"Mas Baruna too, Melani has some examples of suits. This one, this, and this." Melani points back to her book.

"This is it, Ma'am. I believe in Melani" said Kak Baruna.

"Thank you, Sheryl and Mas Baruna."

"I believe in Madam Melani who has been a subscription to my mother all this time. It will give you the best, right?"

"Mas Baruna could have. For your body size later to measure again yes. Once that's done, it'll be used to fit his shirt again."

"Yes, Mel. Thank you." Thank you."

Not long after that we were done with wedding fashion measurements. Time has shown at half-eight. Me and Baruna went home.

We got in the car. Brother Baruna looked at me again while smiling to himself like someone in a kasmaran.

"Sher, are you happy?"

"For?" my many.

"Will marry me."

"Sister, but I'm enjoying the process."

"I love you." Brother Baruna looked at my face and gently stroked my hair. Our faces then close together and face each other.

I was confused as to how to reply to his words. Our faces were so close there was nowhere to shy away from his eyes.

"Can I kiss you?" tanyanya asked for permission.

My heart was beating again. My breath began to blow irregularly. My face turned red instantly.

I nodded and closed my eyes. A brief kiss landed right on my left cheek.

I opened my eyes and looked towards him. He was still in front of me, looking at me with a small laugh.

"Is there anything funny?" my many.

"No." Kak Baruna's eyes turned the other way awkwardly.

"Son's playing me."

"meaning?"

"none. I thought you did give me a code from earlier for me to kiss you?"

"Yes-yes indeed. But it's ...." I do not continue my words.

"But what?"

"Oh yeah, it's not that important.

What the hell am I thinking? Why is my mind so wild like this? I was hoping that Brother Baruna would kiss me right on my lips but it turned out that I was wrong and I felt disappointed myself. What's wrong with me? Just yesterday I felt I would never agree to this matchmaking. But today instead, Baruna and I came to see our wedding dress designs.

"We have dinner first." take Kak Baruna directly drive the car.

Suddenly my phone rings. A call came in from my mom.

"Where is your sher?"

"In Ma's boutique. What's up?"

"Same Baruna?"

"Yes Ma."

"That's coincidental. Bi Ati cooks a lot. Take dinner at home."

"Yes Ma." I then hung up the phone.

I turned to look at Kak Baruna, "What about dinner at my house?"

"Come," he answered briefly.

Twenty minutes later we arrived at my house. I removed my seat belt and opened the car door. Baruna's sister took my hand. We walked in tandem.

"Good night Om and Auntie."

"Night. Sher took Baruna to the dining room," Mama ordered.

How's the wedding dress business?" ask Mama.

"Beres Aunty" replied Brother Baruna.

"Thank God it's over. Engagement invitations have also been so although not as much as your wedding invitation later. Ninety percent is done. Only H day left," explained Mama.

"So fast?" I'm appalled.

"Yes. There are ten more days."

Baruna and I looked at each other meaningfully. We also walked to the dining room. Bi Ati prepared our meal. Me and Baruna then ate with gourmand.

Suddenly, Reza and Dita came to us both

"It's bad to eat don't invite you." Reza interjected while occupying the seat in front of him followed by Kak Dita who came to sit opposite me.

"Eat Za do not have to be so excited," said Kak Baruna.

"OKAY. What do you want to eat, honey?" Reza asked Dita.

"I can take it myself" replied Dita smiling.

"Bar, yesterday I had a meeting with Reynand," said Kak Reza suddenly.

Brother Baruna turned to look at Kak Reza, "Meeting with him?"

"Yes Bar. I would love to know if I ever met him. Reynand who I met yesterday at the meeting was the same person as the same person I saw when Om Anton in the hospital," added Kak Reza.

"What meeting?"

"Biasalah want to have a project cooperation that I told you at that time. He turns out to be Sheryl's boss."

Baruna looked at me. His face turned serious, "You work at his company? How do you not tell a story?"

"Where do I know you know each other. Mr. Reynand is the new director at the company. I've also only been his secretary for two days" I replied.

"Yes, I'll tell you everything just like you. Yeah, we finished our dinner first."

I'm nodding. Baruna's face again looked serious. What are they both doing, actually? Why is the atmosphere so serious? A lot of questions popped up in my brain but I immediately got rid of the negative thoughts that were going through my brain.
