The Marriage Order

Second Meeting

A few days ago our meeting was unpleasant and it surprised me not to know how much this man could say things I never thought of before. In this second I saw him before my eyes, his height towering only ten centimeters from me. The glasses guy made my chest rumble. Not because I liked him, but I was a little scared when his sharp gaze highlighted me as if he was stripping me of my appearance.

"Satya" I said softly.

"Hi we meet again. Is this what you call a soul mate?" Satya smiled smirked.

"Why can you be here?"

"Do you really not know that the groom is my brother."

I was surprised to hear his explanation. How did Nesya become part of the Mahardika family? The world is indeed as wide as the leaves of moringa, so small that wherever we are, we can meet people we know.

A waiter walked up to us cleaning up the broken glass on the floor. Music returned soft. The guests returned with their respective activities turning their faces away from the previous view towards us.

"I'm sorry, I'm so busy right now so I can't talk to you anymore." I turned around leaving Satya who was still standing in the middle of the party crowd.

Suddenly Satya pulled my hand from behind, clutching it firmly. Walk towards the back door close to the guest toilet.

"Sat, take off my hands! Sick know!!" I pulled my hand. Satya then let go of her hand.

"Sher, I won't let you be happy on top of my suffering all along."

"What the hell?! I'm sorry about you. If you are not sorry, that is your right. You have to live thinking about the future, not stuck in the past. Each one's life now. Don't bother my life anymore!"

"If I could forgive you a long time ago, I would. But as long as you remember the humiliation you do is the same to me, I will never forget. I will not forgive you until you beg to kneel at my feet!" Satya pointed her finger under the floor.

"Udah crazy lo!"

"Haha .... So you want the first way? Sleeping with me?!"

I shook my head thinking this guy was really out of bounds. I turned around and left and waved my hand from behind saying I didn't care.

"Sheryls! Sheryl!" call him but I pass by and don't care.

I went into one of the ladies' toilets. Not long after I heard the man's voice again from inside the bathroom. He chased me until he dared to go into the quiet toilet room.

"Sheryl if you dare to ignore me again, I don't hesitate to hurt you. There's just the two of us here" he shouted.

The deg!

"What the hell is this guy thinking? Fussing at his own brother's wedding? Bothering women up like this," I thought.

I took my phone out of the little pouch I was carrying. Trying to contact Baruna. The busy tone of the phone line is heard.

"Why so long in the toilet? Whoa!!" Satya started banging on the toilet door hard.

I was in a state of panic swallowing my own saliva. Staring at the phone screen and starting typing messages for Kak Baruna and Kak Reza hoping they help me. Message for Reza I typed first.

"Sister help me, there's a freak in front of the girls' bathroom and I'm in it. He's waiting for me to come out and bother me."

I then typed a message for Baruna.

"Darling can you follow me into the ladies' room? There's a guy that bothers me so I can't get out of this toilet."

The door was getting louder. I closed my eyes thinking that I had an idea that could stop the action while waiting for help to come.

"Oh my God, do I have to give up on this madman? Help me ...."

Not long after that Satya started to stop the action. A woman went into the toilet and rebuked him. I heard their conversation from inside.

"Why did you get into the girls' toilet? It's not good to peek at women's privacy." I heard a voice of a woman I knew very well. Kak Dita's Voice.

"Ah yes it seems I entered the room wrong," he said leaving the toilet room in a hurry like a panic thief caught taking something.

"Sheryl you're still inside?" exclaims Kak Dita.

"Who is Sher? His face was no stranger."

"Satyas. One of the groom's families."

"Oh yes, I just remembered. Come on out, your brother's waiting in front."

I nodded towards the exit. Sis Reza and Kak Baruna were waiting anxiously by the door. Baruna hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so troubled. I didn't check my phone again after Grandpa called me."

"Yes dear. I'm fine."

Baruna took off her arms and turned to look at Reza.

"Thank you, Za, please help Sheryl."

"Geez Bar, my own brother again difficult time not helped."

"Silver thank you." I hugged Reza.

"Don't be on lebay," Reza took off my arms, "By the way, I think I know the man. Lately I like to be seen in the office. People from Mahardika right?" said Reza.

"Yes he's one of his children" I added.

"Do you have anything to do with Sher's relationship with that guy?"

I was silent for a moment and told everything that had happened in the past to everyone. They listen to my story seriously. Brother Baruna embraced my shoulder to calm me down which told me an emotional story.

"So it's like this." I ended my story with a long breath.

"It's also hard if people have a grudge. You be careful Deck. Just be careful if he dares to do something no-no to you." Brother Reza reminded me of the look on his annoyed face.

"Sheryl's spirit you can definitely face such a person." Brother Dita patted my shoulder cheering.

Brother Baruna held my hand tightly making my confidence increase considering there were many people around me supporting me.

"We go home, baby. I don't want to ruin this party by beating it all out," Brother Baruna turned to me.

"Come home?" ask Reza.

"Yes. I can teach him a lesson by beating him in the middle of a party" said Kak Baruna.

"Yes, but pay attention to the others."

"Yes Brother," I said.

We walked back to the ballroom where the party was held. Walking over the family table and saying goodbye to the reason there was another event waiting for us again somewhere else.

"Be careful when you get home" Mama said.

"Ready Mama" I said.

We also walked to the car park. Baruna was silent thinking of something that looked serious.

I turned to her asking, "What are you thinking, baby?"

"Can we not come to your school reunion? I'm afraid you'll see her again."

"Yes I know for sure he's coming too. But for a moment, baby, I want to come see my friends" I asked a little forcefully.

Baruna took a deep breath and exhaled slowly then only nodded in agreement. Despite the weight of his heart he still granted my request which might endanger me. This time I admit I am hard as a rock.
