The Marriage Order

The Stiff Breakfast

"Dear forgive me, huh? huh uh? huh uh?" Brother Baruna begged me, staring me in the eye.

We were both in the middle of my house. Ever since I threw myself in the pool, I've been pissed at him. He made me take a shower early this Saturday. My precious day of rest that I should have passed by lazing on the bed.

I folded my arms, looked into her eyes, the brown iris looked so adorable that my annoyance evaporated away. Brother Baruna turned to look at me who suddenly looked straight ahead.

"Ah forget it," I said with a slight laugh but still pursed my lips pretending to be upset.

"Well, code."

"What code?"

"See your lips that's why a manyun? You asked to kiss?"

"God .... Why does your mind go that way?"

"Let me be a man and you are my woman."

"Your lady, huh?" I pretended to be disappointed.

"Yes my future wife" said Kak Baruna while chuckling.

"Then what do you want from your future wife now?"

"Holding you in my arms in bed, kissing you, and ...." I quickly closed his mouth with my palm. His mind was already heading towards the talk that people said was taboo to discuss.

"Don't continue. We'll have breakfast, yuk." I switched the conversation while walking towards the dining room.

"You cheated, yes. Escape when I'm serious." Brother Baruna stood up and caught up with me.

My whole family is at the dinner table. Bi Ati had prepared such a special meal this morning. Not as usual. Mama must have asked. Is it because there is Baruna? A daughter-in-law is always special.

"It's a big meal in the morning" exclaimed Kak Reza as he scooped the food into the plate.

"Thank you for the food, Bi," said Papa.

"Master don't overdo it. I just follow the orders of the Madam. There will be a Baruna Den, so Madam asks to make a special meal," said Bi ati smiling.

"Well, Mama could have made our guests feel at home for a long time. What if he forgets to go home, Ma? I can be sued by his father" said Papa. Mama just laughed at Papa's words that usually never joke.

"It's easy, Pa. Just marry Sheryl so as not to go home again," said Mama.

Me and Brother Baruna who heard the babbling of the two old men instantly felt awkward with a shy red blush.

"Papa, Mama, please stop joking in front of me. That's very embarrassing" said Reza.

We all kept quiet and continued to eat breakfast. Brother Reza looks smiling with satisfaction looking at all of us. Maybe he was envious because his partner wasn't here. So he doesn't want to get carried away.

The atmosphere of breakfast was silent for a moment. There was actually one thing I wanted to ask and stuck in my mind. I wanted to ask you about Papa's company that I heard wasn't so good. But my tongue was so stiff when I wanted to say it.

"Om, I heard from Grandpa Om's company is not in good condition?" Suddenly Baruna interrupted spontaneously. He scrunched his forehead in wonder.

"Duh Kak Baruna this, should ya talk Papa company at the dinner table? Weekend anyway? I'm the only one who wants to ask even hesitates, "my inner self.

Papa and Kak Reza who heard Kak Baruna's words were stunned not to think that the thing they were hiding would leak even to Grandpa Clouds ears.

"Yes. Almost fifty percent of the ownership shares will be owned by Mahardika Corporation, which has been in the same business for ten years," Papa replied.

"So it's true what Satya talked about yesterday? He already owns nearly fifty percent of the shares?" my mind is rebelling more and more.

"no need. Your father and grandfather's help was more than enough. Om don't want to trouble your family anymore."

"We're going to be a family, right?" added Baruna.

"Yes but let Om and Reza fight this time. After all, the development and growth of Pradipta Corp. has made you quite dizzy, right?" papa Sahut.

"Yes anyway. That guy really has no mercy. All the ways he did to our family. We're pretty overwhelmed with his football lunge in the business world."

"If Om can give advice, your grandfather should not be too hard on the other grandson. He must divide his property fairly. Even if you are the successor."

"It is fitting that Reynand was furious with Baruna. His status is a grandson as well." sidelines Reza.

"Yes the forgotten grandson."

"Can't you be forgotten? Anton never met Reynand's son?" added Reza.

"It's not Za. But the situation at the time was very complicated. An arranged marriage that ends in infidelity and separation makes both families hate each other. He was also not allowed to meet his own children. Closing off all possible access so they don't really know each other. But the name of the carcass, will be smelled even though it's closed tight."

Brother Baruna just silently heard the chat Papa and Brother Reza. I don't know what's on his mind. There was a hint of tension in his brown eyes.

"Dear Sheryl, are you so shocked that you didn't say a word after hearing all this?" ask Papa.

"Little Pa. I've heard that story partly from Brother Baruna. This time I heard everything from Papa's mouth."

"Can we not talk about all this?" Brother Baruna suddenly kicked down the dining table.

We all fell silent at the words of Kak Baruna. He didn't seem comfortable talking about his family. Papa who saw Kak Baruna's reaction was very surprised, angry, and left us in the dining room. Mama looked at us with a slightly anxious look on her face following Papa who had already lifted her leg.

I glanced at Kak Baruna sharply. He shouldn't have done something as disrespectful as this. Papa and Mama must be very disappointed with Kak Baruna like that.

"What the hell is this Baruna Sister? My dad just explained, why is he so angry? Just this time I saw him angry like that," my inner self.

"Honey we shouldn't be like that to Papa."

"Sorry baby. I can't control my emotions."

"Bar, you should apologize to me. Crazy you broke the table in front of the old man" exclaimed Reza.

"Sorry Za, I'm upset. I'll apologize to Om."

"Yes Bar, don't repeat this kind of action and sorry we don't mean to make you uncomfortable" exclaimed Reza.

"Yes Za I know. But I have to go home now. I was waiting" said Kak Baruna and turned to me as he pulled my arm, "We're going now,"

I was forced to join Brother Baruna who walked quickly to take me out to his car. His face turned a little angry.

"You surprised me. That's the other side of you. What's up, honey?"

"I'm sorry. My mind became upset as a result of hearing that story. I just don't like you guys talking about this in front of me. I don't know why, I don't want to get involved either. If necessary, I did not take the treasure a dime. Leave everything to Reynand who has not felt the affection of her biological father all this time."

"Hei Reynand was an adult and he should have understood how his condition was."

"Even if he knew, he would do the same thing dear. You don't know the figure of him being so ambitious against anyone who is against him. I just don't want to involve anyone I love."

Baruna's sister turned on her car engine and turned the way out to the highway to take me to her house.
