The Marriage Order

Contrition

Kak Baruna's eyes stared intently at Satya's back which was slowly being swept away by one of the reunion committee. He clenched his hand still with his anger while turning his head towards me and forcefully pulling my hand down from the stage. I was helplessly forced to follow him from behind. I saw some alumni who were still busy with their phones recording the incident but Kak Baruna ignored it and continued walking towards the exit.

Tika and Mario approached us. They looked worriedly staring at us. They both followed us.

"Cowok you okay, Sher?" ask Tika.

"Of course." I put my shoulder out.

"Satya could have tried to humiliate me and especially Lo Sher."

I shook my head not wanting to comment on Tika's words. Suddenly I heard the voice of a man calling me from behind. I'm very familiar with his voice, Fandy called me.

"Schaft .... Sheryl!" his yell.

We all stopped and looked back. Fandy was standing next to Wildan. Wildan stared at me cynically.

"Wildan, haven't seen you in a long time. How are you?" sapa Tika kindly kissed her right and left cheeks while shaking hands.

"good. Lo how? Wow already have a baby, very funny," said Wildan pleasantries.

"Yes dong. Good thing we all met here. But the one next to you is not Sheryl's ex-boyfriend huh," whispered Tika who was insensitive to the situation. Wildan just smiled.

I pinched Tika's arm, she grimaced in pain and then turned to look at me, her lips irritated.

"Gue go home. Come on Pa. Let's just go home. It's hot in here." Tika pulls her husband's arm forcing her home.

"We go home first yes all," said Mario to all of us who felt bad at his wife's request. The little family walked away to the exit.

Brother Baruna stared intently at Fandy. His face was still angry about the incident.

"You want to call Sheryl?!" kak Baruna asked still with his anger.

"There is no similar business. I have business with Sheryl" replied Fandy casually.

"Darling you still have unfinished business with him?" Baruna looked at me.

"There was. I want to talk to them both for a minute?"

"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. I'm waiting for you in the car."

Baruna then left the three of us. The atmosphere of the reunion was again conducive but did not make us participate late in the reunion again and no one noticed our whereabouts as well. I took the two of them to sit at a round table not far from the exit.

"Now I want to finish this." I opened the conversation. Wildan looked back at me cynically without saying anything.

"Recover what? I just want to make peace with you. We can be friends even if our relationship is broken. I've moved on from you." Fandy glanced at Wildan.

"meaning? I don't get it. I admit I once cheated on you. But you're saying this like you're judging me and Wildan on your back?"

"Yes. You guys have been together since I haven't broken up, have you?"

Fandy could not answer. A look of uneasiness on his face, hesitating to leave my words behind. He just silently looked at me with a clear face. Wildan who saw the look on Fandy's face was upset and defended him.

"Sheryl, you don't have to say anything like that to me and Fandy. The proof is that you also have another guy. I'm the girl who knows best who Fandy is, how he loved you so much and made me suffer when you dumped him so much just because of that absurd matchmaking and all I know, you're just your old man's chess pawn from long ago. But you pret-sokan revolted when you can't. Keep now you even enjoy your relationship with the guy who is fooled by you. Fandy, I'm just a victim. I hate to see people who feel the most pain in the world when your problem is at the end of a nail. Small!" Wildan interrupted, saying at length to defend Fandy with his emotions.

I fell silent, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. I can't get emotional because of his words. Everything he said was true. There's no one either. I am a woman who does not know myself.

"Wildan, I thought you were a good friend until I finally found out you had been in contact with Fandy from a long time ago and it turns out your relationship continues behind me until now. Friends who eat their own friends are indeed more challenging, huh?" I insinuate it rhetorically.

"Lo doesn't have to divert the conversation. I do this because of my love for Fandy and I don't like him having sex with girls like Lo Sheryl." Wildan half-cried almost crying.

"Already .... You don't have to defend me until it's like that. I'm also a man whose plan can't pick all this time" whispered Fandy as he stroked Wildan's back.

"You two make me sick. Marry you two. I don't care." I moved from my seat turning around leaving those who were staring with an annoyed look.

"Yes I admit I am not a perfect woman like the main character in the film or soap opera who is weak but no defect. I'm Sheryl being myself, with all my flaws and advantages. True said Kak Baruna, everything that happens is the result of the life choices I choose. Whosoever sows, then he will sow. I hate my heart being sick like this. Where I became weak and helpless against the two of them. It's not that I'm not sincere about their relationship, but I blame myself more for my life's decisions."

"It's over?" asked Baruna when I entered her car.

"Yes. Ii'm sorry. You fought a second time because of me." I looked towards him.

Brother Baruna laughed with a grin and said, "If I wasn't like that, who would have defended you earlier? You were almost humiliated by that person."

"Yes I know. I was the one who wrongly forced you to come to this show. How's your wound?"

"It's nothing." Brother Baruna held his cheek and said, "Related is always there at the end dear. You don't have to apologize for things that are my duty to protect you."

"What if he takes revenge?" manyworry.

"Yes, just face it. What can we do? Rice has become porridge."

"I'm sorry again, baby." I'm down.

Brother Baruna lifted my chin looking at me gently, "We're dealing with these two. Fix them all one by one. If you're tired, you can lean on me and vice versa."

"Yes dear. You always make me weak in front of you. I want to cry."

Brother Baruna brought her shoulder closer and let me cry on her sturdy shoulder. I don't know what I'm crying for. But it feels like my chest is tight. Can no longer bear the burden.
