The Marriage Order

When We Meet

Today Fandy picked me up for work early in the morning. I was in his car, closing my eyes for a moment. A song from a radio broadcast inside Fandy's car represents my feelings and my current life in which I feel I can no longer recognize how to fall in love. I replaced the radio broadcast with another musical sound.

"Why was the song changed, Sher?" tanyakanya.

"Still in the morning, don't listen to sad songs."

"OKAY. You're still my boyfriend, right?" Fandy looked smiling.

"You think?" I stared at Fandy sharply.

"Surely," he answered briefly.

I didn't return his words. I still doubt my decision. The one month I gave you wasn't a long time.

The engagement event that was about to arrive still troubled my mind. I've never told Fandy my engagement plans. Not that I want to lie, but I find it hard to tell. Where should I start.

Fandy grabbed my palm, grabbed it and kissed it affectionately. Today I intend to talk about it. I took a deep breath and started talking.

"Fandy has something to say" I said, opening the conversation.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"One month I'll be engaged to someone else."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll get engaged to someone else." I repeat my words.

"Tell me you're kidding me!" grunts. "You gave me a month too. Are you playing me?!" Fandy half yelled in annoyance.

"Either toying or not, but the future of my life was already planned Papa and Mama. Four years ago everything was decided."

"Why haven't you said this before?"

"Yes, I admit I was wrong. I was confused how to say it. It all happened so fast. To be this serious any time soon."

"But it's too sudden for me. You really disappointed me!" snarl.

"I should be the one who is disappointed because I was toyed with a destiny like this" I refused.

Suddenly Fandy stopped his car. He slammed the steering wheel onto the shoulder of the road. Stopped suddenly. My chest hurts with my seat belt.

"When did the matchmaking plan happen?" tanyanya rouse.

"Four years ago. I rejected it too, Fan. Look at me as well continue to be beside you until this very moment. I want us to fight. But .. ah, that's it."

"How about we get married without your parents' blessing?"

"That's the impossible. I will destroy their good name. Too many people will be hurt."

"Patience. I want you to be my wife."

"Are you serious? I don't have much time."

"If my capital is not much, this time I will really think about our future. I don't want to lose you like yesterday."

"Thank you." I looked at Fandy with all sorts of flavors piling into one.

Unknowingly my tears fell holding haru. We would never know if we never tried. Fandy patted my shoulder and calmed me down. Then we both went to our offices.

Time goes by very fast. That afternoon in my office came a beautiful and graceful middle-aged woman. The clothes are nice and fashionable. Her hair was a slightly wavy brownish color. I don't know her but others say that she is Aina Melati Pradipta's mother. He is the owner of the company I work for. I rarely see him. He only comes at certain times.

The woman walks with a grown man. I never saw him. His figure looks authoritative but also has cold eyes. He is the son of Aina's mother. His height is about 180 cm with a body that is full and gallant. He's 31 years old. His face was handsome with slightly wavy hair similar to his mother's. His name was Reynand Alex Pradipta.

All employees and company officials are gathered in an auditorim. Mr. Rudi as the chief director of my company was present and began to talk about our intentions and goals all collected in the office auditorium.

"Good afternoon Ms. Aina as the owner and largest shareholder of Pradipta Corporation, the directors and of course the employees I care about. On this afternoon, I intend to announce that I am officially retiring from the company. My age is no longer young. It is appropriate that there is a next generation who can replace my position. Aina's mother has officially appointed her son, Mr. Reynand Alex Pradipta, to replace me and this has been approved by the directors and shareholders. I hope Pradipta Corporation will continue to succeed in the future. After this Mr. Reynand will say a few things. Thank you very much for the opportunity that has been given to me so far," Mr. Rudi gave a speech for the last time.

"Good day everyone. I won't be long. My name is Reynand Alex Pradipta. Just call me Mr. Reynand. Thank you for allowing me to make a speech in front of my brothers and sisters. I promise to advance this company as much as I can. Not because this company belongs to my Mama's family, but I am indeed interested and challenged in running a business that has no end. It means we cannot be satisfied quickly. We have to improve in life and have a better career going forward. Finally, I ask for help from all brothers to work hand in hand to advance this company. Thank you." Thank you." Mr. Reynand gave a speech.

I've been paying a little attention to Mr. Reynand. His face was no stranger to me. Seen at a glance similar to Kak Baruna. His posture is almost the same as Kak Baruna. Oops... Am I equating others with Kak Baruna? Looks like I've been poisoned by Kak Baruna's figure.

"Sher, Mr. Reynand isn't that handsome?" whispered Irene.

"Irene inget you already have a boyfriend. Think he's ajalah," I said.

"Well, wash your eyes a little. Maybe out there my guy also compliments a lot of pretty girls."

"Where were you yesterday and who were you? The guy you nyariin. Uh but it's broken up, are you the same doi?" Irene opened the conversation.

"Gue went home with Baruna. But now I'm back with Fandy" I replied with a smile.

"Baruna's your fiancee? I'm confused about Sher. Right here okay. Fandy is going to say hello? So where do you choose Sher?" A lot of questions were asked by Irene.

"Know it. Must try first. No one knows if the ball is tried" I laughed.

"Yes, yeah."

Half an hour later the meeting was over. Irene and I went back to our office. Not long after Wendy an office girl in my office came to me who was working. In his hand was a bouquet of roses and a chocolate stem with a famous brand.

"Sheryl's sister has a reception for Ma'am" he said, offering both items.

"Thank you, yeah." I grabbed the two items and found a greeting card. Again there is no sender name.

"The sweet jiang accompanied by a beautiful woman hilly with flowers. Eat a piece of chocolate with a happy heart. Have a nice day."

"Who's Sher from?" Irene asked.

"I don't know Ren. There was no more name yesterday. I think of Fandy. We are better today. Secretly can be romantic too she."

"Try asking. If it's true he must have a confirmation phone don't use guessing gini."

"Yes, I'll ask. I want to do the report first."

A few hours have passed. I glanced at the wall clock in my office space that already showed at half-six. I walked into the elevator while hugging a bouquet of roses. On the way, I met Mr. Reynand. He walked behind me. We then entered the elevator together. I bow my head respectfully. But he replied with a smile.

"The roses are good." Mr. Reynand commented.

"Surely," I replied.

"Your name is Sheryl?"

"Kok you know?"

"Yes it's clearly written on your nametag" he replied casually.

"Oh yes." I chuckled

Then we got out of the elevator. Mr. Reynand seems quite friendly. He did not hesitate to greet his own employees.

I've been in the office lobby long enough. I was waiting for Fandy to pick me up in the office lobby. He had reported that he would be late because there was a meeting with the director regarding his departure later to Japan.

My phone's beeping. A call came in from Reza's sister, "Where are you, Dek?"

"Still in the office, brother. Why?"

"Come brother to the hospital grumpy Om Anton can't?" tanyakanya.

"I'm waiting for Fandy to pick you up anyway, brother. But I'll call again whether you can or not."

"Yes tell my sister if you can."

I hung up the phone call and called Fandy.

"Where are you?"

"I'll be in a minute to your office."

"We don't have to go home right away. Take me to the hospital first. Look at Papa's friend."

"Okay boss" said Fandy and we ended the conversation.

I hung up my phone call, sent a message to Reza if I could see Mr. Anton straight to the hospital with Fandy.
