The Marriage Order

Shadow S3

Reynand Pov's

"Your father's house?" Mama asked with her frowning.

"Yep."

Mama suddenly laughed a little, then widened her eyes. "What else are you planning?"

"I'm worried about Sheryl."

"Mama has guessed." Mama shook her head, "Rey, are you aware of what you're saying? You've already released it for Baruna. You can't possibly lick your own spit, can you?"

Mama's words made me pause for a while, before finally answering, "Though so, my heart says the opposite, Ma. God made her lose her memory and just remember me."

"So just because she remembers you, you feel entitled to be around her, huh?!" Both of Mama's eyeballs seemed to be shaking staring. His tears slowly flowed, but he quickly wiped them away. "Why are you so stubborn like this? Mama please, don't embarrass yourself any further in front of the Asyraf family?"

Hearing Mama's words made me sigh deeply and hold back for a moment. "I love her so much that I feel like I'd go crazy if I didn't see her happy."

"Listen yes, Rey! Sheryl will never return your feelings. It will only temporarily lose memory. After her memory returns, the woman will return to her husband. The goodness of your heart that offers happiness will only be a passing wind for itself!"

"Let time answer later."

Hearing my answer, Mama swung her hand. "Whatever! You bad boy!" mama then turned her body.

"Where are you going? Didn't you want to cook something for me?"

"Back home!" sahut Mom ketus. He then picked up his blazer and bag, preparing to leave.

I immediately pulled Mama's hand to stop her steps. Mom looked at me. Not wanting to waste time, I knelt in front of him.

"This time I asked for Mama's blessing. Let me find my own happiness." I looked down, saying in a soft voice.

"Whatever it is, but not to see you become a wrestler for someone else's wife" said Mama with a striking sentence. I can't answer Mom at all. Just silently staring at his back which then disappeared from sight.

Baruna Pov's

Felicia and I were in the middle room. We discussed what happened last afternoon. Really am! I strongly object to Felicia lying about her status in this house.

"If I don't lie to Sheryl, what do you think I can tell her about my status here? A fella? A lover? Wife to all? What, huh?!" his refusal to defend himself with a grin left me even more frustrated.

"I don't know," I said, looking at him coldly. "but you're making things more complicated."

"You're making it complicated!" sergeant Felicia retaliated so fiery.

"I just want to be near Rafael." I gave you an excuse.

"And I will never part with him. He's my son!" Felicia pointed at herself.

"I knew. You will not be separated." Instantly I nodded.

"So how? You're gonna tell the truth to your beloved wife, huh?" Felicia smirked as if to mock me.

"Not now, Fely. You saw for yourself how Sheryl was. I'll make him more confused. He could have left me." I rubbed my frustrated face.

"Isn't it? Even your parents support me. They help me lie." Felicia widened her smile. The woman then stood up and sat down beside me, "or are we just getting married? How's it?"

"You're crazy, yeah!" I almost glared at him.

Felicia suddenly paused as if enjoying the frustration I felt. "You should have opened your eyes wide, Baruna. Sheryl's been having an affair with Reynand behind your back. So why keep it."

Felicia's words infuriated me. Remembering how the accident happened cannot be separated from my jealousy for Reynand. He really makes me sick.

"But, your wife only remembers Reynand. Deep down she must have had the same feelings as Reynand" added Felicia then took an apple from the table and ate it.

"Felicia's right!" Mother's voice suddenly sounded so clear. He then sat down to join us in the living room.

"Mother?" My forehead cringed. I didn't think my own mother could say that.

It's strange! This is so weird! Mother suddenly said the opposite. Whereas in the past, she was very supportive of me marrying the woman of my choice, but now ....

"Bun, however Sheryl is my wife" I replied to her.

"A wife should respect her husband, not worry him. So much you've sacrificed, but in fact he's still the same as he used to be. No opinion!" added Mother.

"But Bun–"

"A mother just wants her child to be happy. So does your father who wants to have the same view." Mother cut my words.

Is that so?

I was stunned to hear the words of two women near me. It was so contrary to what I felt.

I still love Sheryl.

Our conversation stopped when suddenly the main doorbell rang. I immediately got up to make sure who was coming.

Be late. Bik Rindang seems to have opened the door. Suddenly my eyes widened to see who was coming.

"Mas Rey? Tumben?" bik Rindang.

"Yes, Bik?" Reynand glanced at his watch, "it was only ten."

What's the matter with him visiting here at night?

I wondered in my heart. My feelings are really bad. Immediately I pulled myself over to Reynand. A small suitcase came to my attention.

"What are the nights coming here, Rey?" my many.

Reynand did not immediately reply he raised both corners of his lips. "Gue wants to stay in this house."

"Why so suddenly?" many confused.

"After I think about it, I'd like to follow Sheryl's doctor's advice. Sheryl's gonna need my help to get her memory back. So I broke up to always be around him."

"Lo's really crazy!" I shook my head.

Sheryl Pov's

The sound of the vehicle engine suddenly woke me up. I opened my eyes, looking to the side. Baruna wasn't there.

"Where is he?" my murmur then moved from the bed towards the balcony of the room.

I widened my eyes towards a white sedan parked there.

"Reynand? What's the matter with her coming here at night?" my murmurs immediately turned their bodies towards the door of the room.

With a hasty step, I headed towards the main door. There, Reynand, Baruna, and Bik Rindang stood facing each other.

"Lo's really crazy!" Baruna seemed to shake her head.

"What's really crazy?" I just walk to them.

Baruna looked at me. My husband quickly put his hand around my waist. Although it feels uncomfortable, I can not refuse and even let it go.

"Darling, are you awake?"

"Yes. I heard the engine sound. I thought it was just a dream. It turned out that it was really Reynand who came," I said pulling a thin smile.

Reynand returned my smile with her sweet-looking smile. He suddenly said something that left me speechless.

"Sher, I guess I really can't get away from you."
