The Marriage Order

What S3 Plan?

Reynand Pov's

"Did you forget who I was?" my mouth is back to attack Felicia's words. Both corners of my eyes sharpened at him, "this is my father's house. There's nothing weird about me being in this place."

Felicia's face immediately paled getting an attack that might very well hit her. In an instant, he seemed to catch his breath quickly.

"Yes! Everyone knows that, too," he said, grinning at me, "everyone knows your scandal with Sheryl a long time ago. Um, I'm wondering how far along are you? It must be difficult to get progress because of her married status. Another case with me, Baruna will continue to be bound because of Rafael. And of course right now I'm very happy because he's starting to melt."

"Tens?" Suddenly my eyes sharpened to hear his words.

"Do you think Baruna will remain patient in the face of such a shitty shadow like you? Not to mention, he began to open his eyes to realize who exactly the figure of the woman he married."

I was shocked to hear Felicia's words. Don't-don't they ....

"Hey! What do you mean?!" I almost screamed asking what the meaning of the sentence was that caused the question mark.

"St! This will be my secret with him," he said riddled, "already yes, I want to go in first." Felicia immediately got up to her feet and turned around inside the house.

After Felicia left, I was still waiting for Sheryl's return on the porch. A big question mark came to my mind. Have my worries been finally proven? They're playing behind Sheryl.

Haish! Felicia's words really made me anxious.

An hour later, the car carrying Sheryl and Baruna entered the courtyard. I got up when the couple got out of the car walking towards me.

"Well, did you stand here?" Baruna asked with her cold-sounding tone.

"Waiting for Sheryl." I turned my gaze to the woman standing beside Baruna. He just stared without a word.

Baruna smiled, looking at his wife. "This man is waiting for you. Did you make an appointment with him?"

"No." Sheryl shook her head slowly.

"Lo listen to yourself, right? Sheryl doesn't have any promises with you."

"Gue wants to talk to her." I was still flinching in that place waiting for Sheryl's response which made me wonder what made her call me this afternoon.

"Would you like to talk to him?" Baruna asked again.

"Can?" sahut Sheryl looked at her husband with a slightly different face. I don't know what's on his mind.

"Please. I've given you a choice, haven't I?"

"Yes, Mum." Sheryl nodded.

Baruna said nothing more. He freed us to talk. His footsteps relaxed into the house.

"Don't talk here. Let's go somewhere else" I told Sheryl.

Sheryl just nodded in agreement following my inching steps towards the long bench of the back garden.

"What do you want to say, Rey?" ask Sheryl.

"Why did you call me so many times this afternoon?" I asked back.

"That's ...." Sheryl hung her sentence silent for a moment, "did you know that Kayla already has a lover?"

"You remember Kayla?" My eyeballs stared at him.

Sheryl nodded. "I remembered her figure when I accidentally saw an entertainment news broadcast about her relationship with a man on television."

My breath's stuck. Could Sheryl's memory have returned completely?

"You okay with knowing that?"

I took a long breath. "Let Kay seek her own happiness. And I'm looking for my happiness."

"Your happiness?"

"You!" I answered spontaneously and then fell silent for a moment. Sheryl looked at me so deeply. Making all the grunts in my heart just come out, "I'm sorry for ignoring you. You know, that phone of yours I couldn't answer many times because I was so busy today. I thought you called me because you were in trouble. Turns out you were.... Haish! You don't know how anxious I am to wait!"

"Sorry..," said Sheryl with teary eyes.

Looking at his face made me unable to hold back all the feelings of desire buried in the heart. Face approaching. My fingers touched his face. Without any hesitation pulled the nape of her neck until we had our lips swept over each other and gently clenched. I can't believe she returned my kisses the same way.

Shortly after, he released the kiss. "No, Rey. It'swrong. Although right now it feels like I just want time to stop to just have you." Sheryl's breath was so roaring that she said her words. It seemed like how nervous he was.

"You can part with Baruna!"

"No. If my memory returns, how should I face myself, her, and my feelings? At the moment, however, he is my husband whom I must respect. I was wrong to be cold to him. And this time it was ...."

The deg!

My heart rumbles great at hearing his words. Like lightning present in a long dry season. There will be no gap for him and for me to be united.

"But what if Baruna has betrayed, Sher!"

"Then what did we just do?! Isn't it the same?!" Sheryl crying. Yep! He shed his tears.

I'm so furious. I want to unpack everything that happens. Baruna and Felicia, then Rafael. But the threat of my father made me hesitate for a moment and could only silently look at the woman in front of me.

Sheryl stared with an anxious looking face. Her tears rolled without a hitch. He then lowered his head, wiping his own tears.

I went back to breathing. It felt like I was back to seeing myself cry. My hand then stretched out to her hair.

"I want you to be honest with yourself, Sher," I said.

Sheryl's upholding the body. Instantly breathing regularly tried to calm himself. "This all confused me. My heart continues to blame me for not choosing you. But I don't understand the reason myself. I can't marry someone I don't love, can I?"

"The answer to my question honestly. Do you feel happy when you're with me?"

I looked at him so close. Waiting for Sheryl's answer made my heart beat so hard.

"Yes, I'm happy" she replied quickly. The answer that made me like I was flying into the clouds, "but I intend to end it right now."

Fall in! He made me fall back.

The next day ....

I pulled the dresser drawer. Take out a small, dark blue velvet box and open the contents. Staring at a necklace of jewels given by Baruna when we ate dinner at that time.

Remembering our conversation that made me think and suddenly had a plan.

"I want to give you a gift" said Baruna then pulled something out of her pocket. A small box of dark blue jewelry. He then opened the contents. A very beautiful jewel necklace. "I want you to take it."

I was silent looking at that thing. "Before my memory returns, I don't think I can take it."

"There is no harm in giving gifts to his own wife. Accept, yes!" I had to take the little box. Baruna smiled. "You can wear it if you change your mind. To be honest, I want to continue with you to fix everything."
