The Marriage Order

Past Times

Have you ever made a mistake in the past that made someone feel hurt until now?

I never imagined that my actions in the past would make him the person he is today. Always finding out all the things about me in cyberspace even being my stalker in the real world. We finally met at cafe X threesome with Kak Baruna that afternoon.

The man sat quietly in his chair. A yellow rose lay on the cafe table just like that. His eyes looked towards me and Brother Baruna. I approached the man. Her face was familiar but I could not remember her until she put her glasses on before me, I could only remember about her. Satya Julian Mahardika.

Seven years ago at a high school farewell.

I walked quickly along with my friends avoiding a teenage boy who was in puberty. He was so obsessed with me even on the last day of our school breakup. Her body was very fat, her cheeks were chubby, as well as having a lot of pimples on her face. He wears thick glasses on his face. Very geeky is unimaginable. He was only 10 cm taller than me.

"Sheryl wait!!" The teenage boy was chasing me.

I'm turning. Seeing him running panting after me and my friends who just walked fast first.

"Please stop! Pity her breathing. I'm afraid he'll die here. We are responsible, too" I said.

"Gue likes lo Sher. Want to be my girlfriend?" said Satya still with her breath gasping.

"Hei Sat, I have refused many times not to give up too. I told you the same, so my friend is ashamed. Moreover, I am dating the same lo. Don't dream Satya! Still got glass? If I don't have it, let's go!" I reached into my bag to take a small glass and give it to him.

Satya received the small glass, then she glazed over, looking at her chubby face and unsightly breakouts. Then look at me with a glare.

"Hei Satya if you want to be Sheryl's girlfriend at least lo oppas first. Let your face be like a Korean artist. Liposuction is also a sport so that the body lo sixpack like the artists," added Tika my friend at the time.

"Eh one more yes Sat, has a lot of money. How can you be accepted in Sheryl's family if you don't have much money," Wildan added.

Satya took a deep breath and exhaled her breath slowly restraining her anger.

"So if I change what you're saying, Sheryl wants my Nerima to be a friend and even a boyfriend?"

"Maybe?" Tika.

"It's impossible" said Wildan.

"I'll think about it first. You should have stayed in a big mirror to make it look all over the body" I said laughing while raising one eyebrow in my eye.

Satya looked down embarrassed and said, "I will always remember this insult. Someday I'll definitely be someone you guys say especially to you Sheryl and you'll have to apologize to me."

Satya's heartwarming face continued to be reflected in my mind. Guilt has actually haunted me considering that I've been intimidating him a lot. I heard he moved out of the country with his family. But the guilt didn't last long because the busy college activities occupied my days.

Present-day

I stared at that face for a long time. The figure of the man I had forgotten for a long time was now in front of me and Baruna. The Satya I now met was a different figure, turning one hundred and eighty degrees the opposite of what I had said before. She smiled sweetly even with her glasses.

Baruna looked at me, whispering very quietly, "who is this guy?"

"I whispered back to him, "My old school friend."

"I'm not following along if it's about your old school past. Please speak four eyes. I'll wait at the table over there." Brother Baruna pointed at a table not far from my desk.

Baruna quickly moved from her chair to the other table. Satya turned towards Kak Baruna then looked at me.

"Lo hasn't changed. Still beautiful like the first time I knew you. He's your fiancee, right?"

"Yes. What do you want to do with being my stalker?"

"Ising. I want to prove that everything you ask of me now has been realized. Look at my face and my body which is ideal. Even your bokap lo company, fifty percent will soon be mine." Satya looked at me, her eyes sharp.

I was surprised to hear the reason behind his behavior as a stalker. I said, "Gue apologizes for my mistakes. I don't know why I was that bad. Sorry I'm Sat."

"No exclamation. I'm sorry it's stale for me now."

"Continue?"

"The only thing I want now is to sleep with me Sher, last night. Your mistakes in the past I will forget forever," he replied casually.

"God! This guy is really crazy. He's a terrible man" I thought.

I who heard his words gasped in shock and fury. I stood up to take the drink in front of me and flushed his head open.

"Basic jerk!"

Satya's facial tone did not change, it was still as ordinary as there was no problem. I turned around to leave the table, then quickly ran to the car. Baruna's sister who saw me running after me.

"What's wrong?" ask Baruna Kak wonder.

"The man ... the man ... Goddamn it!" I cursed him screaming.

"Calm down, let's go in first and tell me what's going on." Brother Baruna hugged me and opened the car door.

I got in the car. I put my face on my briefcase. I bowed listlessly.

"So what happened?"

I fell silent a thousand languages do not ignore the words of Kak Baruna. My tears just suddenly sank. Brother Baruna who noticed that just stroked my shoulders gently.

"Well, if you're not ready to talk. I'll wait for your story" he added.

Baruna then runs her car. All along the way I was silent still shocked by the words I heard from Satya's mouth, that brash man. Brother Baruna also seemed to understand and did not ask me anything.

Half an hour later we both arrived at my house. My mom welcomed us into the living room. She usually showed a warm smile.

"Baruna, you happened to come. We can have dinner together, yes" said Mama.

"Sorry Auntie today I can only get Sheryl's anther. I have an appointment to see my business partner tonight." Baruna refused.

"Yes, but tomorrow you can't refuse."

"Yes Aunt. I say goodbye, Auntie. Greetings to Reza and Om the Great."

"Yes. Be careful on the street" Mama said, then left us in the living room.

"I'm going home, baby. Later that night I'll meet my business partner. So it's likely to be home late. You don't have to wait for me." Brother Baruna hugged me and kissed my forehead as usual, "Don't get too thought out. I know you're a good person and such a person is just misguided in his thinking."

"Yes. You're careful on the road, baby" I said.

Brother Baruna stroked my hair gently. Then step out the door. I walked up to him and hugged him from behind. Brother Baruna turned her body looking at me deeply.

"I'm scared. Protect me forever."

"Yes dear. We'll be together soon."
