The Marriage Order
The Burning Morning



"Dear, dear" greeted Fandy with a small smile on his lips.


I grinned cynically, "Sorry I'm in a hurry. I don't want to talk to you."


I called my personal driver and asked him to drive me.


"Where is Erwin's father? Please take me to the office now" I ordered.


"Ready Sher Ma'am."


I hung up the phone and waited for Mr. Erwin to arrive. Fandy came up to me still with his face glazed over.


"You have to come with me." Fandy grabbed my hand pulling it tight.


Erwin then showed up with my car but Fandy forced me into his car. Forced fastening of seat belts. Fandy stepped on the accelerator. The matic car was running fast.


My phone's ringing, Mr. Erwin called me. I answered her phone call.


"Mom, how is this? Should I go after Mommy?"


"No need sir. I'm fine."


The car runs fast. Fandy gripped his steering wheel while raising the speed of the vehicle. I closed my eyes with both hands clutching my seatbelt tightly. I'm afraid we're wretched.


What demonic possession did he have to speed like this?


Half yelling I tried to stop him, "Crazy are you?! Wanna die?!"


"Let us die together. I want to know how serious you were with your words last night?" he said with annoyance.


"I'm serious, we've broken up Fan."


Fandy stopped his car with a brake and suddenly made my chest hurt by a seat belt.


"I don't want to hear!" Fandy's tone of voice began to rise.


I opened my seatbelt and opened the door but couldn't because Fandy was obstructed.


"Where are you going? You must hear my explanation."


I nodded silently. I'll listen to what Fandy has to say.


"You are the only daughter of Mr. Praja Kusuma, the tenth richest man in the country. I can't possibly propose to you in my condition right now."


"I don't care what my status is. I just want to find my own happiness," I said in a slightly raucous voice, holding back tears.


"Six years of relationship and you want to just dump me?"


"It's precisely because of six years that you should be thinking where this relationship is going!"


Fandy breathed a long sigh. There was disappointment on his face. Then the atmosphere began to be silent no words came out of our mouths.


"I'm going out. I want a job. I'm late Fan." I broke the silence.


"This one time accompany me. You'll let me."


"Why did you manage? Our relationship has different vision and mission. How many times do I have to repeat?!" I'm getting emotional.


"But I still love you Sher. Don't be like this. We can have a long distance relationship later. No need to break up." Fandy.


"Find the woman who understands your way of mind. Open the door!" my orders.


"No way!"


Fandy brought his face closer to mine. He touched and put a touch on my lips with a soft caress of his lips. Instantly I got carried away enjoying and replying to it.


Not long after, I realized that this was not true. I have decided to part with him. My tears fell, remembering that he could not fight for our relationship. I pushed his body with all my might.


"Why stop? You seem to enjoy my kiss even you return it?"


"Sorry I got carried away. Our relationship is over. Just forget it. Assume it never happened."


"But you're crying. That's a sign you're suffering asking to break up with me."


"Let me suffer. Because of this pain that will make me strong. Now I'm asking you to open the door."


Fandy took a deep breath. He seemed to think of something then he said, "I'll take you to the office. Consider this a friend's help."


"All right" I replied.


A beautiful woman of high height approached me. Her name is Princess Irene. He's my best friend in the office.


"Sher, go to the toilet, yuk" he asked.


I nodded and picked up the make up pouch from inside the bag because my face was tangled making me want to dress up a little bit to make it look fresher. We stepped out into the toilet.


"Tumben lo late. Where the face is tangled. Swollen eyes. Lo abis what the hell?" Irene asked in front of the toilet mirror.


"Long story. I'll tell you about rest."


"OK deh. Here under your eyes I'm using concealer to not look crooked." Irene grabs the concealer from inside my make up pouch.


Irene started putting on those matted faces of mine. He understands moments like this the most. When I was at my worst. He comforted me and was ready to help me like this even if it was a small thing. this freelance MUA is indeed very reliable now.


"Lo was wanted by Mr. Renaldy. Looks like the meeting didn't go well because there's no lo."


"Yes, I'll go to Ren's room. I know I was wrong" I replied.


"So he seemed very anxious to know waiting for you dateng because his phone was not picked up the same lo."


"Yes, I'll apologize to him."


"Sip. I was dandanin. Well, this is nice, it looks prettier. Pantes the Fandy at home lo you long ago."


I was speechless not to reply to Irene's words. We then set our feet out of the toilet. In the middle of the road I met face to face with my boss Renaldy.


"Sher came with me to the room. I want to talk."


"Yes sir" I replied nervously.


Then I followed him to his study. It was really anxious to be afraid that he was scolding me all out.


"You know what you're wrong?" Mr. Renaldy opened the conversation.


"Yes, sir, I'm late. No meeting with the marketing team and the director."


"You're my most trusted employee but you let me down this time. Sorry this time you I gave the first warning letter," he explained while writing a warning letter to me.


"Sign under him" he said again.


"Yes sir" I said


A very annoying morning passed just like that changed with the rest time that had arrived. Me and Irene sat in the office cafeteria enjoying our lunch.


"Sir boss said what, Sher?"


"Gue was given Ren's first warning letter."


"Crazy .... Your favorite child is given a warning letter? Belom knows he's thinking you can move to a bokap lo company." Irene chuckles.


"Not to suck. I want to go to the bokap company is easy. But I work here to be independent. You know."


"Yes. Non Sheryl is always right. By the way it was this morning why the hell?"


I answered Irene's question clearly. Irene listened carefully. Sometimes he looks surprised and nods a sign of understanding.


"Gue didn't think Fandy would be like that, you know, Sher. But it makes sense the same reason she is" Irene said.


"Lo even belain him is not my best friend lo. I'm the girl but there's no me in her life's priorities!" sahutku.


Irene smiled at my defense and said, "We're back. I am full of it."


I nodded and then walked out of the office cafeteria. We walked past the reception desk. Maya's mother one of the receptionists called me.


"Sheryl's sister, this is a deposit for mbak from brother ojek online." Maya's mother took out two large boxes of pizza pans and two large bottles of cola.


"I don't eat pizza" Mom." I scrunched my forehead in wonder to find those two foods and drinks.


"But this is for Ms. Sheryl's marketing team. There's a letter taped to the top of the box."


I saw an envelope with my name on it. I opened the envelope and read a short message comforting me this afternoon, making me smile at myself.


"How was lunch? If I am not full I bring another pizza for you who are beautiful. You can also share it with your good friends. Sweet greeting from someone who watches over you."


"Who's Sher from? How do you smile yourself?" Irene asked curiously.


I gave the letter I just read to Irene. Then he read it. I was very curious about the pizza delivery. Who is the one who is watching me?
