The Marriage Order

S3 Come with me

Sheryl Pov's

"Bar, don't you feel like your words are outrageous? Sheryl must be confused by all this. Give it time."

Suddenly Felicia opened her voice. My eyes were pointing at him. Defended me.

"But Sheryl should know how she is," said Baruna stammered. I saw him raise his sharp gaze at Reynand.

I was still silent, not disobeying Baruna's orders when suddenly the sound of my father-in-law's silence was heard.

"Ehem!"

We all closed our mouths. Dad walked into the dining room. Not taking his eyes off us at all.

"What's this?" ask her then sit at the very end of the table.

"Mas, have you talked to Reynand?" Mother who was also at one table with us let out her voice.

"Yes. What's up?" Dad raised his eyebrows with a glance that led straight to Reynand, "had you told me not to provoke a fuss, right, Rey?"

"No one provoked a commotion," Reynand replied so calmly as if he did not feel guilty for causing Baruna to be stirred with emotion.

"Dad believed him? He was the one who pissed me off first." Baruna chimed in on Reynand's words.

"Really, Rey?" Dad investigated.

Reynand did not answer. He snorted with a grin that looked annoying in front of his father. I don't know what to do, but I'm watching these two men fight and can't stay quiet. Everything happens because of me.

"Enough," I said, turning to Baruna, "I don't understand what you really want to prove to Reynand. Just because I'm being cold to you, you shouldn't blame him. If only you knew, I still could not accept everything. It's not just losing my baby-to-be that makes me sad. More memory loss makes my heart want to explode can't stand."

"Darling...." Baruna looked at me pity. She smiled at him, "you're my wife. I'm sure you're strong and we can get through it all together."

Baruna clasped the back of my hand which instantly made a jerk, then nodded slowly. In an instant Baruna's words weakened my emotions. But I accidentally turned to Reynand. He stared with a grin and disappointed face.

"Bar, your side dish is up. I'll get it, yeah. You have to eat a lot and you don't get sick" Felicia suddenly said, stealing my energy from him. Felicia was scooping a capcay menu this morning onto Baruna's plate and I saw she couldn't turn it down at all.

Rafael suddenly joins in adding a piece of woku chicken to their Baruna plate following his mother. "Eat, Dad! Don't keep getting angry."

Baruna replied with the same smile. "Yes, Son. I'm sorry, yeah. You must be so shocked that I'm angry." Baruna reached out, rubbing the top of Rafael's head.

Rafael nodded. I noticed the interaction between the two. Their close relationship does not look like uncle and nephew, but like father and son. Coupled with the presence of Felicia among them, made my heart whisper doubtfully. For some reason, my heart kept whispering something bad about them.

Why do I feel like something's wrong here?

"I'm done!"

I flinched my head to Reynand who averted my gaze so quickly with her baritone voice. He got up from his seat.

"Everyone, I'll leave first" Reynand said with a facial water that was not much different. Disappointed and a little cold. He left without looking at me one bit.

Is he angry with me?

***

Being at the funeral almost noon made my skin burn. The sun this afternoon was very hot, but I forced myself to come to my son's grave. Swiping his headstone alone while muttering and blaming himself.

"If you hadn't been in an accident, you'd still be with me, son." I took a deep breath, circulating around the tomb that was so quiet for a moment. A question soon passed through my brain.

"You have to remember it for yourself, Sheryl."

I muttered again while bowing my head. In my submission, suddenly the atmosphere became shady as the weather suddenly turned cloudy quickly. I suddenly looked up. A tall man soaring with his sunglasses umbrella stared at just any point.

"Reynand?!"

I almost screamed in joy at seeing her. How not? This morning it seemed as if the man had gone to the office with his bent face sulking at me.

"What are you doing at a funeral this afternoon, Sher?" tanyanya opened her sunglasses. Her face this afternoon had changed back as usual.

I'll stand up soon. "Then I ask you the same thing. What are you doing here? Are you following me, Rey?"

"Why follow a man's wife to the tomb? You think I don't have a job?"

Instantly I cluck to hear his words. My mood is starting to change. "Who knows." I put my shoulders together, "honestly what are you doing here, Rey?"

"At the end of his father Dira's tomb. It's soon the anniversary of his death." Reynand pointed to a tomb about two hundred meters from my son's grave.

"Dira?" I cringe not knowing that name.

"My sister. Child born of a second husband to a mother."

"Oh, sorry I really don't remember." I was almost frustrated. There's nothing I can remember except this guy in front of me.

"Dearly enough. You are quite familiar."

"Your words make me feel useless." I protested, but the man laughed at me.

I snorted in annoyance. I was so sorry to walk away from Reynand.

"The her!" call him.

I stopped in front of the tomb gate. Reynand approached with her black umbrella outstretched back protecting me from the scorching sun.

"I'm sorry that this morning I was angry with you for no apparent reason" he said suddenly.

I stared at Reynand. Hunch right. "So you were really mad at me this morning?"

"Yes, but I'm actually jealous and angry with Baruna."

The reason for jealousy is understandable, but angry....

"What makes you mad at Baruna?" my many.

"He and Fely ...," Reynand replied then fell silent.

"They why?" I frowned waiting for Reynand's reply which made my heart rumble instantly.

"Forget over! I was just talking," he said back to curl.

"Huu! You suck!" sahutku. Immediately turned around about to incline towards the parking lot.

My steps had to be stopped when I felt Reynand's burly arms draping my neck from behind. A second later, Reynand whispered in my ear.

"Sher, I want to get you away from them immediately."
