The Marriage Order

S3 Good Intentions

Reynand Pov's

"What the fuck, Julian?! Who's secretary, anyway?!" I was upset when I met Julian the next day. She betrayed me and instead followed Mama's orders to spy on her own boss. Unfortunately Julian only shook his head as I scolded him. "My intentions!" snapped again.

Slowly my secretary lifted her head, looking at me. "I'm sorry, Mr. Rey. I was just doing Mother Aina's orders. He seems to be very worried about you."

"How much did Aina's mother pay you?"

Julian was silent, not answering my question.

"Ck!" I clucked in annoyance, then pointed to her, "Awas only if you obey her again without my knowledge. I will fire you immediately without hesitation!"

"Yes, sir." Julian lowered his head.

Just as I was about to warn her again, my phone suddenly rang. "Sheryl my dear is calling" looks on the screen. Without wasting any time, I immediately chased Julian away with a flick of a hand. The bowed Julian immediately left in front of me.

"Hello, Rey." Sheryl's voice was heard greeting.

"Yes, Sher," I said, placing my butt on a chair that immediately turned against a large glass wall overlooking the view of the capital's tall building.

"Will you come home?"

"Yes, Sher. I'm trying to get home quick for your family's dinner. Besides, I also have to prepare to meet your father, right?"

"Yes. I hope you can approach him. I'm afraid something will happen if you apply to me directly in front of Papa like you said yesterday to Mama."

I poked at Sheryl's words. Actually since returning from London, I really wanted to meet with Om Agung, but could not because he was out of town. As a result, only Aunt Rini invited me to speak.

"Why are you laughing?"

Slowly I stopped my laughter. "It's okay. I was just laughing at myself. I can't believe I'm that brave. Somehow if all I'm facing is your father. Is my guts going to blow away right then and there?"

"Rey, I said what. At least you should approach first."

"Yes, Honey. Thank you for worrying about me."

"Yes, I just don't want us to take any wrong steps. After that, maybe I should subdue your Mama" Sheryl replied.

"Capturing monsters?" I mocked.

"Haish! You remember," he said in protest and I could only turn back. Remember how red Sheryl's face was when she said that

"As for Mama, I don't want you to do it alone. I'm afraid he hurt you with his scathing words."

"Rey...." Sheryl called lirih.

"Why, baby? You call me that so often."

"Don't know what it would be like if there wasn't you in my life."

"I just want to give my best for you" I closed our conversation.

Sheryl Pov's

This afternoon, Mama and one of our house assistants were in the kitchen. We're cooking. Yep. Although I can't, I'm trying enough.

It's nothing, today Mama wants to hold a small-time event that is a family dinner. Mama wanted to celebrate my return after not staying in this house for so long.

Papa's? Unfortunately, I haven't met my real father. He and Reza, who have been living separately since marriage, are out of town. As usual, they make monthly branch office visits. And today coincidentally the two will return home.

I turned towards Mama who was busy tasting her homemade soup. Since yesterday I haven't thanked him for blessing my relationship with Reynand.

"Ma, thank you, yes," I said in a whisper behind Mama.

Mama looked, her forehead puckered. "Thank you why?"

"About Rey. Aboutabout us. About our happiness. Thank you for blessing my relationship with Reynand" I replied with a small smile.

"Oh...." Mama nodded, then took a spoonful of meat soup and gave it to me, "try it! Less what?"

My lips immediately pursed protest. Not welcoming the tablespoon from your hand. "That's it, Ma?"

"Hm?" Mama's forehead is back.

"Try the soup!"

I still pursed my mouth in front of Mama then grabbed a spoonful of soup and tasted it.

"Cure it!" I said.

"Times?"

"He-it."

"No, kok. Your tongue must be troubled because you can't wait to be married by Young Master Pradipta," Mama's tease that immediately made my face red.

"Mama could've mocked me!"

"Really, right? You want to marry her as much as she wants to marry you." Mama made me unable to pucker up. His words are right.

"I love Mama." I hugged my mother from behind.

"Mama loves you, Sheryl, too" Mama said.

Shortly after hugging my mother, a bell rang at the main door. I hurried to break down the embrace. Mama looked at me in wonder.

"Who?"

"Young Master," I said as I chuckled amusedly and hurriedly inched forward.

Justright. Reynand who was still officially dressed stood at the door. He was carrying a red plastic bag in his hand. It smells a little fishy, but I don't know what it's got.

"Re-Rey...." I became nervous. I don't know why I always get nervous when I meet him. An unusual heartbeat was addressed to him, "I didn't expect you'd come this fast" I added.

"Ehm, yeah...." Reynand nodded as she drew her smile, "when I thought you had come in a hurry just to open the door."

"Eh, time, anyway? Does it look like that?" Instantly he made me grow more nervous.

"Yes. It's written on your forehead" he replied with a rarity that sounded so ridiculous. Just making me misbehave and covering my forehead with my palm. But Reynand quickly hugged me so tightly and whispered, "you look stupid and adorable when you're in love."

Hearing Reynand's words, I immediately pushed his sturdy body. Not forgetting to put on an upset look for him. While folding both hands on the chest, I said, "Don't forget, this stupid woman who made you almost crazy!"

No words were spoken from his lips, Reynand grabbed my shoulder until we stood very close.

"Until when do I have to wait on your porch, Sheryl?" whispered.

"Yes-yes, let's go in, Rey!" my mouth immediately brought him into the house. But instead of sitting quietly on the living room sofa, he opened the suit and the top two buttons on his shirt.

"What do you want to do?" I boughtak surprised. Messum's mind flashed through my head.

"I have to process this fish" he said, handing out his red plastic bag.

"Thankfully...." I took a long breath.

"Thankfully?" He asked with a confused face.

"D-no!" I hurriedly shook my head. My gaze then led to the plastic bag he had been carrying since. "You gonna cook?"

"He-it."

"No need. You are a guest" I said.

"Guests? Not part of your family later, huh?" sahut.

"Ehm, yeah-yeah, ta-but–"

"Let me show my goodwill to your family." Reynand cut my words, landed her hands on her cheeks until my lips coned so badly in front of her.

I just gulped at the sight of his sincere eyes. Unable to speak anymore, Reynand suddenly asked, "Where's the kitchen, Sher?"

"Let me take you!"
