The Marriage Order

Short Dating

Baruna and I walked into the nearest mall from the hospital. Its strategic location makes it a lot of visited by people who want to waste time to just refresh their minds, get entertainment, and shop for various necessities of life.

I glanced at him. His sharp eyes looked straight ahead making him even more handsome. He glanced back at me with his sweet smile.

"Why are you glancing at me like that, baby?" tanyakanya.

"Ti-no .. whoever glanced at you." I stammered.

Why did his face become even more handsome at a time like this?

I gulped, trying to shake off the awkwardness. Baruna looked at me deeply. I turned my face away which suddenly warmed.

"What are you thinking?"

"Eh .. no, dear."

"Related?" Baruna's sister started teasing me.

"Yes, of course."

"Well if you don't confess. I guess you're thinking about me. Having a handsome fiance is immeasurable," she replied teasingly as she held back a laugh.

"When have you been a narcissistic guy like this, baby? Like it wasn't Baruna I knew."

"Since you were my fiancee and didn't want anyone else to take you away from me."

The deg!

What are his words leading to Mr. Reynand?

I didn't return his words. My mind is not focused on him. Brother Baruna should not remind me of his half-brother. His behavior just gets annoying. Just like it happened at the hospital. Request a hug? He's getting crazier.

"Why are you daydreaming?" Brother Baruna woke me up. My daydreams are gone for a moment.

"Eh .. sorry dear," I said turning to him.

"OKAY. What do you want now? I'll give it to you."

"Me?"

"Yes, I'm with you. Other people's time?"

"none. I don't need anything."

"Then I'll buy you something" he smiled.

He pulled my hand, took me to a diamond jewelry boutique, B&M.

What's he gonna do here?

"Good afternoon. Welcome, Mr. Baruna." A salesman greeted with a slightly surprised face looking at us

I stared confusedly at the salesman.

This salesman knows Baruna?

"Sore. I'd like to see the latest collection this month" he said.

"Good, sir." Other salespeople picked up some jewelry and put it on the storefront.

Baruna was seen observing the jewels in front of her. I looked at him with a confused look.

"Where do you want?" he asked while looking at me.

"I don't want to, baby."

"Come on, you haven't asked me anything in all this time. As your fiancee, I want to give you something and this time I insist.

I sing my lips don't like it. Brother Baruna looked confused in response to my sudden attitude like that.

"Well, then I'll choose" he said. He then looked towards the salesman. "I'll choose this, Ma'am."

"Good, sir." The salesman then packed a pair of earrings with diamonds of Kak Baruna's choice. "How's Mrs Meri, sir?" ask the salesman.

"good. Don't forget, come to my wedding. The invitation will follow" he said with a smile as he pulled out a card for payment.

"Ready, sir."

Not long after, we were out of the jewelry store. I glanced towards Kak Baruna.

"They know Aunt Meri?" my question is full of search.

"Yes, of course. The store is mine and the Mother."

"Call it ... B&M. Baruna and Meri," my response held back a laugh. I was completely blind to his efforts.

Baruna just smiled. Her jewelry box was given straight into my hand. Seen from his face that he really sincerely loves me.

"Thank you, baby."

"Too quick to say thank you. I will wear it too" she whispered softly.

"I can wear it myself. Don't make me awkward anymore. I'm ashamed, honey."

"Yes, okay. Anything for you."

"Thank you, baby." I peeked at her cheek.

Brother Baruna was surprised, silent for a moment. His face was red in shame. I was embarrassed to look him in the face.

"We'll eat first," he pointed to a restaurant in front of him.

"OK, honey. It just so happens that my cages have asked for rations to eat," I said chuckling.

Brother Baruna chuckled at my answer. We then went into the restaurant. Sit face to face at a table located in the corner of the room. A waiter approached us and handed us a menu book and ordered food for us.

Brother Baruna and I chose the menu inside the book and ordered the food we wanted. Not long after that he left with the order records.

"Honey, how's Grandpa fainting?" ask me to open the conversation.

Brother Baruna sighed. He looked at me seriously and told me everything that happened today. I listened carefully, not wanting to miss a single word.

"So, Mr Reynand didn't know that his mother, in fact, limited communication, didn't allow Om Anton to meet him?" many surprised.

"Yes. She must be really disappointed with her mom right now."

"Kasian Mr. Reynand ..." I muttered.

"You sympathize with him very much" he said.

"Of course, honey. Would we try to be in his position? Since childhood, he did not know his father personally. Even impressed covered a truth behind it."

"I think it's only natural that Aunt Aina would do that. He is the one who is hurt. I can't imagine how she feels."

"Hmmm .... So what about the heir issue?" ask again.

Baruna did not answer. He looks hesitant. I don't know, I can't read his mind. It might be his secret at this time. In time, he will say it himself.

Ten minutes later, the waiter approached us with the dish we ordered. He then placed it carefully on our table.

Me and Brother Baruna were eating our meal, when suddenly I heard the voice of a girl calling my name.

"Sister Sheryl!" I looked back looking for the origin of the sound. Looks like a girl like my cousin Khanza and a teenage boy came up to us.

"Sister Sheryl! Brother Baruna!" Khanza called us both

"Kha-Khanza!" I looked doubtfully at him. This girl is holding a man her age. Not like the Khanza I know. His face was perfectly decorated.

"This is really Khanza?" asked Baruna doubtfully.

"Yes, brother" he answered.

"Well, brother to pangling loh!" I saw a lot of changes to Khanza after dressing up. She's more beautiful and sweet.

"Beautiful, baby?! Usually ...." Baruna did not finish her words. He seems afraid that Khanza will be offended.

"Who is he, Za?" I looked at the man standing next to Khanza.

"Know Kak, I'm Arif Khanza's friend." The teenage boy introduced himself as he reached out to shake our hands.

"Oh ... Arif who was sceptical ...." I haven't finished my words yet, Khanza cut them off.

"A .... Can we join you here, brother?" tanyanya doubt.

"By, please," said Kak Baruna.

"By dong." I let them sit with us.

We sat facing each other. Baruna's sister called one of the waiters. I ordered food for the two teenagers.

"What do you want to order?" ask Brother Baruna.

"What did you order, Za?" Arif glanced at Khanza.

Arif opened the menu book and ordered the dishes they wanted. The waiter then recorded their order. Then leave us.

"Children today are romantic, baby." I glanced at the pair of teenagers before me.

"Yes, it is appropriate to date" said Kak Baruna.

Khanza and Arif's cheeks flushed in shame. Me and Brother Baruna just smiled holding back a laugh.

Khanza, so this is the Arif you admire?

We chatted with each other while waiting for their order to arrive.

"Sister Sheryl and Sister Baruna will come to my school. There's a basketball game between students."

"When, Za?" my many.

"Three more days. Anyway must come," Khanza replied a little forcefully.

"Yes, we must have come" said Kak Baruna.

"Don't forget to come to our wedding. Two weeks, you know. Arif has to come too. Poor Khanza there's no partner. Just be careful not to come like an engagement," I said a little threatening and then laughed.

"Yes, Brother Sher," replied Khanza still with flushed cheeks. Greeted by Arif who blushed his cheeks.

"Surely Brother! I must be with him" said Arif and glanced at Khanza. Khanza took a look of embarrassment.

"Ehem ... code tuh, Rif," said Kak Baruna.

"Za, I go to the toilet first," said Arif with a flushed face and hurriedly stepped towards the toilet.

Khanza. He looked at me smiling. His face was like someone in love, very happy.

"You guys are already?" many surprised.

"Let me tell you, brother. Shame on Baruna" he whispered.

"Oh .. okay. You guys are playing with secrets like me?"

"It's a woman's business, baby," I said.

Suddenly Baruna's phone rang. He immediately picked up his phone. A minute later, he turned his phone off.

"We're home, yuk. Reza's been grumpy waiting for us at the hospital" he said.

"Khanza we go home first yes," I said.

"Food and drink let me pay. Enjoy your togetherness now. When else can be a romantic date together and nothing interrupts," added Kak Baruna smiling knot.

Khanza just nodded with a smile. His face kept on getting red. Really cute. We walked out of the restaurant in a happy mood. The pending date was paid off today.

Reynand PoVs

At four in the afternoon, Grandpa Awan was still unconscious. Daniel and I decided to go home. There lived only Aunt Meri, Anton's father, and Reza who were still waiting for him.

"Tante, Dad .. me and Daniel go home, yes" I said with a smile.

Aunt Meri and Father Anton raised their heads to look at both of us. The sad-looking face is still there. I glanced at Reza who was playing his phone, turned to us, and suddenly smiled wryly and quickly turned his face back.

What's wrong with her?

I did not care about it and looked towards the two old men before me.

"Be careful on the road, Rey," Anton's father said with a slightly awkward face.

"Yes, Dad," I reply no less awkwardly.

Aunt Meri just smiled blankly at me. Maybe he still feels bad for me over past events. I don't know, I can only guess.

I rolled my eyes at Reza. He doesn't look at me anymore.

"Za, I'm home first."

"Yes." Yeah." A short answer sounded from his mouth.

Soon, me and Daniel walked away from them. Not long after we were in the car on our way home.

"Rey, what happened? Which satanist did you ask Sheryl to embrace? Snobs." Daniel laughed softly.

"Bg .... I don't know, Niel. Suddenly those words slid themselves out of my mouth."

"Lo jealous of Baruna?" guess Daniel.

Okay you're right, Daniel. I was jealous, as Baruna hugged Sheryl's body tightly. I can't control my own mind. So that the words that should still be raw in the heart, not yet processed by the brain, immediately thrown out. Yes, I want her to hug me too! Now I regret it. I am so ashamed .... Maybe now he's happy with me.

"Rey! Rey! Lo daydream?" Daniel surprised me.

I turned to him and pulled my vehicle over suddenly. I took a deep breath, and repeated it over and over again. Daniel rolled his eyes in fear.

"Crazy, Reynand! Lo wants to die. Anzeer made me dig-degan. Here I am driving. If you do not dream. I am the future father. My son will be born without a father!" daniel's protest immediately told me to switch places with him.

"Sorry, Niel."

Daniel did not answer. He held his anger against me. I'm back pensive. Daniel shook his head. He drove my car slowly.

"Gue didn't believe you liked Sheryl Pas Indira talking to me. But now that I've seen everything that's happened, I'm sure you really like him."

"Keep if I like it, how?"

"Udah lupain a feeling lo. They love each other and are hard to separate. Forget everything about him. Move on, man!"

I flinch not to answer. What matters to me now is my own thinking. I want to get it.
