The Marriage Order

Engagement Plan

Reynand PoVs

Two days later ....

Early in the morning I was in my work room accompanied by some important files that were already on the desk. Sighs deeply when my phone suddenly goes off. My mother called me, and I answered her immediately.

"Rey, today our family is invited to dinner at Kayla's house at seven. You should come because you're the main character."

"Mama, can you stop this plan? Turn me around, Ma."

"Hey ... When do you want to be single? Wanna wait for your mama to die first you get married, huh?"

"It's not like that either, Ma. Anyway why should carry the word dead continue, anyway. Is there anything better than dead?"

"It's better that you get married, Rey." Mama turned my words around.

"But why should Kayla?"

"Still wishing Sheryl was? Realize son, he already has. You will be heartbroken."

"I was heartbroken yesterday. But that heartbreak shouldn't last long, Ma. Got to get back up to get it."

"Don't be reckless, Rey!"

"It's Ma, I'm busy!"

"Geez, this is a child advised by parents is very difficult. Anyway don't forget it's seven."

"Yes. I'm leaving from the office" I said flatly.

Mama turned off her phone. My head got dizzy. However, I have to be honest with all of them immediately. This relationship really cannot continue.

I'm taking my mind off. Don't want to be too serious about thinking about plans tonight. But hey ... Sheryl started coming, and again dancing in my brain.

Sheryl ... Sheryl ... What should I do? You must hate me now.

I tried calling her. But he didn't lift. My message was not answered either. I have to do something.

Not long after, I called my secretary. A crazy idea suddenly popped into his head. I'll send something for him.

A few hours later ....

I glanced at my watch, time already showing at half-seven p.m. I got up from my seat. Take a suit that rests on a chair and put it on.

I stepped lazily out of the room. I haven't seen Baruna this whole day. I really wanted to meet him. Sepi, if you do not see my brother and rival.

An hour later, I just arrived at Kayla's house. He greeted me who had just parked the car. The woman stared at him with her sweet smile, but I replied to her with a cold look.

"Rey, I don't think you're coming." Kayla grabbed my arm by the way, holding me inside the house.

"This is what you want, isn't it, Kay?"

"of course. When will you come to see my parents again, if your mother doesn't insist?"

"You're a genius, Kay. But I'm a super genius" I said with a grin.

"What do you mean, Rey?"

"We'll see later. How far can you force me, Kay."

Kayla looked at me with a confused look. He really doesn't know what I'm planning right now. Mom and the others were waiting for me in the dining room.

"Good night everyone." I said my greetings as we both arrived at the dining room.

Everyone who was there looked up at the same time. They looked at me, developing his smile.

"The long awaited finally came. Sit Rey!" om Bagas orders, who is none other than Kayla's father.

I looked around. Mama, Indira, and Daniel have been sitting at the dinner table since. I glanced at the Kayla family. At the dinner table there is only Om Bagas and Aunt Clarissa the Mama. Kayla is their only daughter. His attitude that is like a king's daughter is indeed due to the spoiled upbringing given since childhood.

The servants serve by taking the dishes prepared for me. I started eating that dish. Right now the thing I feel is that everyone is watching me eating food. I'm the main character tonight, but I feel very uncomfortable being among them.

I have to tell you the truth this time.

It did not last long until suddenly Aunt Clarissa broke the silence.

"Eat a lot, Rey. Is the dish less delicious?" ask Aunt Clarissa.

I just smiled in response to it. The food was very delicious, but the dinner made me sultry since last night. Even though the cooling of the room has worked optimally. Let alone enjoy, to simply put my mind in this atmosphere I cannot.

"Rey, answer Kayla's question. Just mesem!" reproof Mama.

I turned my head towards Mama and turned my gaze directly towards Aunt Clarissa. "Ah Aunty, I'm on a diet" I replied.

"God! Your body portion is good. Even Kayla said your stomach was sixpack. Why diet everything?" reply Aunt Clarissa surprised.

"Loh Kayla, do you know where Reynand's sixpack stomach is coming from?" ask Mama confused.

Kayla's face was shamed when Mama asked that. I just smiled wryly in response.

"I-that's Auntie, I-I've seen her swim," she stuttered.

"Oh ...." She rounded her mouth to form the letter O. Then he looked towards me. "Rey, what are you thinking? Mama feels your body is here but your soul is out of nowhere. Om Bagas and Aunt Clarissa purposely invited us to talk about engagement, you know."

"Sister, they're all staring at you" whispered Indira who was sitting next to me.

I who looked down did not care, then raised my face. "I'm sorry, everyone. I can't continue this relationship. Kayla can get a better man than me."

The atmosphere of the dining room became silent for an instant with my sudden statement. Om Bagas who heard that immediately laughed.

"Reynand, you're so funny. Your jokes can make Om laugh."

"No, Om, I'm serious. I haven't felt like a match for Kayla. We are still in the exploration stage. Again, I'm sorry Om, Auntie, I don't love her" I explained at length. Om Bagas suddenly stopped his laughter and looked serious listening to my words.

I stood up and lowered my body apologizing to everyone who was there.

"It's fine if you never want to see us. It's your true nature!" exclaimed Aunt Clarissa who immediately hugged her son.

Kayla's tears rolled down her cheeks for a moment upon hearing my words. I have said this to him many times. But he was harsh to her and never took her seriously.

Sorry Kayla, this is what I have to do before it's too late.

Kayla got up from her seat and ran into the room. Aunt Clarissa got up and caught up with him. Om Bagas stared intently at me. The anger of a father who saw his son hurt was shown to me.

"Whatever, Om want to think of me how. Most importantly I've been honest with you all."

"Alright Rey, Om understand your reasons." Om Bagas stood up.

I nodded, no more words coming out of my mouth. My throat was choked, the tongue that just said spicy began to feel faint when I saw Mama who was staring intently at me. To him, this was probably the worst humiliation before his business comrade. His face turned angry. I don't care anymore. I'm almost crazy.

"Rey, watch your talk! Where do you think you are?!" mama who stood up.

"I'm sorry Ma, this one, let me choose." I stepped out of the room leaving them. Fast, fast pace as soon as I want to chase my dream. Indira chased me to the courtyard.

"Sister!"

I looked at him. "What else do you want to say? Are you telling Mama to come after me again?"

"No Rey, but Mama has a point. You can't keep loving Sheryl. He and Baruna are getting married. They're both my friends. I can't follow you and come expect the breakdown of their relationship."

I took a long breath. "Indira, you better focus on the health of the baby in your womb. Don't mind Brother. Brother knows what you're doing."

I turned around leaving Indira who was looking at me away with her shoulder face. Then rushed to drive my car which I forced to go fast. Today, I really made Mama angry.
