The Marriage Order

Sleeping Flower

I was in an empty, dark, quiet room. The atmosphere was so quiet that my hair stood up. There's no one else there. Even as loud as I shouted, no one responded. What the hell is going on?

The room was wallless and was very spacious as far as the eye could see. I ran here and there looking for help, but everything felt empty. Suddenly the darkness in the room changed into a bright light instantly.

It takes adaptations to look around the room that suddenly becomes bright. I was trying to observe anything in the room. But only the emptiness is real there.

Not long after, stood the figure of Kak Baruna in front of me. She smiled sweetly looking at my panicked face looking for help.

"Darling!" I shouted and ran to embrace her body.

Brother Baruna returned my embrace. He asked with a shady look on his face, "Honey, if our matchmaking only got here, do you regret ever knowing me?"

"Darling, are you drunk? Your question is strange."

Baruna just laughed and replied, "I'm not drunk. I just wanted to ask you that."

"I have never regretted knowing you and not wanting to part with you. Really, you're all I love, baby." I shake my head hard. Buried my face into the firmness of his chest.

"really? Does your word come from your deepest heart?"

"of course! Why do you doubt me?"

"Thank God if it's like that. I can be happy now. You're just mine."

Drrt-drrt-drr!

The vibrations and music from the phone woke me from a dream that felt so real. A phone call came in from Kak Baruna.

Why are my eyes and cheeks wet? The hell time I cried in a dream?

I was silent for a long time until I realized there was a phone waiting to be answered. Immediately, I shifted my phone screen and answered him.

"Darling, what are you doing?"

"I just woke up." I glanced at the clock on the wall that already showed two o'clock in the afternoon.

"I'm in the hospital. Grandfather suddenly fainted in the middle of the meeting earlier."

"Which hospital, honey?"

"The SA Hospital. You wanna come over here?"

"of course. I'm going over there. I'll take Reza."

"All right, I'll wait."

Baruna's sister turned off her phone. I glanced at my wrist. That beautiful thing is still curled there. Immediately, I removed it and placed it on the dressing table.

My nightmare .. must be the result of this bracelet. I got too carried away.

I shake my head strongly. Get out of bed and get ready to go to the hospital.

An hour later, Reza and I arrived at the hospital. We walked to the ICU room where grandfather was being treated.

"Darling!" I walked quickly to Kak Baruna who was waiting anxiously in the ICU waiting room.

Baruna got up from her seat. He hugged me tightly. His parents, Mr. Reynand, and Brother Daniel, were waiting.

I can't stand the crying. Then my tears started to break in his arms. Not only because of Grandpa Awan who entered the ICU, but also because of my dream just now.

"Hey ... hey .. Why are you crying? Grandpa will be fine. Fortunately, we took him immediately. Otherwise, I don't know what's going to happen either" she explained, stroking my hair and keeping me calm.

"I was having a nightmare. It also makes me sad" I said slowly.

"It's okay. Dreams are just sleeping flowers. You don't have to remember. There I am now," Brother Baruna stroked my back and kissed my forehead.

Not long after that, he took off his arms. I wiped my tears with the handkerchief I brought. Aunt Meri hugged my body.

"Tante, who's patient. Grandpa must be healthy quickly," I said comfortingly.

"Yes Sher. Auntie's sure she's strong." Aunt Meri nodded.

I rolled my eyes at Om Anton who was bowed languidly on the bench, Aunt Meri shook her head. I'm not allowed to approach him. Maybe Om Anton was devastated by the incident that befell his father.

"Sister Daniel, how's it going? We haven't seen each other in a long time" I said in front of him.

"Good Sher. I'm sorry I couldn't come to your engagement party the other day."

"Yes, it's okay. I know Indira is not feeling well. Greetings to him, brother."

"Of course."

My gaze turned to the figure of the last man sitting beside her. Mr. Reynand, the moist canoebo that suddenly turned dry again at this time. I went up to him, stretched out my hand, and he greeted me.

"Is there no hug for me too?" tanyanya softly while smiling awkwardly.

I'm withdrawing. Brother Daniel turned his eyes wide not believing that his brother-in-law could say such a thing to me. Brother Baruna who was observing us immediately stood up to grab my hand and held it. He stared coldly at Mr. Reynand.

"Rey, even at a time like this you are still looking for an opportunity," he grinned.

Mr. Reynand just showed his grin not caring about Kak Baruna's words. Brother Reza who had been observing earlier, got up from his seat and supported Kak Baruna.

"Rey, you're not really sane."

Om Anton suddenly entered into the dispute of his children. He stood up showing anger.

"If you still want to fight, get out of here. It's a hospital. Not a boxing ring!" reproofing.

Everyone was silent at his words. Anton looked angry. Mr. Reynand just smiled casually in response. He doesn't care about people who are angry with him.

"Have, have, don't fight. Baruna, take Sheryl out, "Aunte Meri ordered.

Baruna nodded in agreement. He turned his head towards me and said, "Let's go baby, let's just get out! I'm so not in the mood to be here," he asked still glanced sharply at his half-brother.

He pulled my hand and took me out of the room. I had to follow him. We also went down to the lobby.

"Where are we going?"

"Let's go, I just want to get out of that room. Reynand really pissed me off."

I was speechless, unable to imagine what would happen if Kak Baruna knew what had happened between us behind her. He would really be angry with me.

Why am I so scared? I'm not cheating, am I? I don't involve feelings for him.

My heart continues to defend itself. Until I was unconscious, suddenly a brief kiss landed on my cheek. I turned to look towards him.

"Hey, this is the hospital lobby. You're not ashamed?" I round my eyes looking at him in surprise.

"Suddenly you were silent and scared the hell out of me. That kiss really wakes you up now." Brother Baruna chuckled.

I sighed and asked, "So where are we going?"

"I haven't taken you for a long time."

"Walk? Grandpa's sick, baby. The hell time we want to go for a walk," I refused.

"Just a second. Nearby is a mall I've never been to."

"Alright, but promise not for long." I'mworning.

"Of course, my lovely queen" she smiled.
