The Marriage Order

Jealousy and Missing

Brother Baruna just opened the door of the hotel room where I was resting, while I was playing the smartphone in my hand. I looked towards him. He stepped his foot over to me, put one hand in his pocket and pulled out a small paper bag. He gave that thing to me.

"An engagement gift from Reynand" he said flatly.

I received the little thing peeking at the contents inside. A small box. I grabbed it with a smile.

It seems Mr. Reynand took the wrong medication. It's good to give me a gift.

Brother Baruna took off the suit that had been stuck on his body and then hung it. With his cuteness he also began to take off the buttons of his shirt, then took them off. A white T-shirt left him still stuck to his athletic body. His eyes kept looking at me with a sharp look.

Just as I was about to open the box, Baruna quipped, "It's nice to get a present from a former boss?"

I raised my head to see a dislike look on his face.

"Darling you're jealous of her?"

"Who is not jealous to see his fiancee being given a gift by another man? I almost forgot your birthday."

"Darling, you said it yourself that it's an engagement gift, not a birthday. Then why bring up your mistakes that are clearly forgotten on my birthday? I'm not angry about it."

"The heart of a man who knows. I was wrong not to remember your birthday" he said in a slightly raised voice.

I looked towards him. That jealous face was completely exposed. I smiled holding back the laughter.

"It's not funny dear" said Kak Baruna.

Brother Baruna came closer to me, attacking my lips with his lips all of a sudden. His breath that was so hunting irregularly made it difficult for me to breathe. He didn't give me a chance to talk. I bit his lip. He stopped doing that action immediately.

"Darling why are you like that?" my many.

Baruna's sister turned her face away not answering my question.

"What is the effect of this gift?" ask again.

" ...." Baruna did not answer.

"Why are you so different today. The Baruna sister I know isn't like this."

He took a deep breath, exhaling it repeatedly, clearly trying to calm his rising emotions.

"I'm sorry" said Kak Baruna rushing out of the room.

"Darling!" I called him but he didn't care.

I took a breath, a little worried about him. He is very different than usual.

Strange ... What's wrong with him? Why was he so angry just because of this gift?

I glanced at the little box, grabbed it, then slowly opened the box. A blackish-brown hairpin with glittering beads perched on it.

It's exquisite.

I tried the clasp in my hair and mirrored it on my phone camera while smiling narcissistically.

"Good as well as the clasp. Just know that I like to wear hairpins" I murmured.

My phone suddenly rang, I glanced at my phone screen. Mr. Reynand's name appears there, I swipe the green telephone emblem.

"Hello Sher, how's your leg?"

"Nothing serious. Just a regular sprain. By the way, Mr. Rey, thank you for the gift."

"Yes. Happy engagement and Sheryl's birthday."

The deg!

Mr Reynand knows it's my birthday?

"I - yes Sir. Thank ye. So these clasps are engagement or anniversary gifts?"

"Haha .... You like to judge. I just want to make sure you get that gift. Yes, I'm driving."

"Yes sir."

Mr. Reynand turned off the phone. I put my phone back on the bed. Then take a towel to the bathroom with footsteps that are still limping. A shower might clear up any thoughts that pop into my brain.

Reynand PoVs

The next day ....

The wall clock in my room was eight o'clock and fifteen minutes when I glanced at Sheryl's room in front of me. Empty, there is no life there.

Immediately, I prepared a document that I will prepare for a project proposal meeting on hotel development cooperation in Japan with a young entrepreneur who is also my senior friend during college, Dirga Mahesa Wijaya.

Tok to tok.

The door of my room was knocked by someone from outside. I got up from my seat and opened the door. Dirga was standing straight in front of me. He smiled his smile.

"Hi Rey, how are you?"

I was surprised to see it. I was supposed to go to his office for a meeting today, but he caught up with me coming to the office.

"Well," I said with a smile. "Get in."

Dirga and I stepped in and sat facing each other at my desk.

"Do you even come here? I'm going to your office."

Dirga smiled grinningly showing the time stamped on his watch. I was aghast, eyes widened in surprise, time had already shown at half-eleven. The wall clock in my room wasn't working.

"Fucking wall clock! It's out of battery, why is it still in front of my eyes?"

"Meeting ..." I said I was aware of the meeting that had been missed.

"Lo why is Rey, not usually shabby like that? Where is Reynand on time?" taunted.

"No idea. What was the fate of the meeting?"

"Haha .... Relax, meeting back after lunch. I came here to pick you up."

I let out a sigh of relief. Let's just say today is a lucky day as well as my sadness. Dirga laughed at me.

"Lagian Rey, why is your secretary's room so empty? Where the hell is he?"

"Just resigned Dir."

"Pantes lo fucked up. No one takes care of it. Hahaha," he said back laughing.

"Don't start. By the way I was horrified not too long ago your wife lahiran?" my many.

"Yes. Wow bad lo, haven't seen my son? I was so happy when my son was born. My life has become more vibrant. You have to get married as soon as possible in order to feel that feeling" she said.

"The words of remarrying ..." my grunts.

"Yes married. You have a candidate for Kayla. Married is very difficult. Age is enough, job well established, beautiful women, and most importantly has been approved by both parties. What else are you looking for?"

"Can you just say. I haven't clicked on him yet Dir."

"That's the problem you think. Also click if you know how it feels. Hahaha," Dirga's back on the stick.

I speak a thousand languages. Dirga's words really struck my heart. Really get into the heart. If everything were that easy, I would have done it a long time ago.

"It's ... already ... let's go to your office."

"Well Rey, you're so hot. Sorry yes. I want to see a picture of my son cold. Baby Gav's."

Dirga pulled out the phone from behind his pocket. He showed a picture of a tiny baby boy on his cell phone screen. Very cute and cute adorable.

My mind drifted to the thought of Sheryl who filled my heart and brain every day. Suppose I were engaged and would marry her, and then have children with her. There is nothing more I want in this world. I began to ponder, forgetting Dirga who was still sitting in front of me.

"Woy Rey .. You think what the hell? Even daydream again." Dirga waving her palm in front of me made me realize.

"So - sorry Dir" I said as I rubbed my innocent eyes.

"Don't daydream! Segitunya .. you think you want to have children too huh?" Dirga chuckles.

"No. I'll go to the toilet first." I walked up from my seat to the toilet.

Dirga who saw my behavior just shook her head.

"Damn .... Why did I become like this?"
