The Marriage Order

Give Me A Chance

Day after day passed so quickly. This morning as usual the sunlight entered shyly into the sidelines of the room window. The sun woke me up from a good sleep. The wall clock has shown at ten in the morning. I opened my eyes and squirmed lazily.

Tok to tok.

There was a knock from behind the door. I woke up still in green pajamas and messy hair, opening the door lazily.

"Good morning!" Baruna's sister was present before my eyes.

"Sister! Wait a minute," I cried in surprise and closed the door immediately.

Why do I even have to meet this guy early in the morning? Can't I just enjoy my day? Fandy has not come for a few days because there are tasks outside the city. He called me only occasionally in his busy life.

I rushed to take a shower, got dressed, and poked a little in front of the mirror. Half an hour later I stepped out of the room to find Kak Baruna still standing next to the door waiting for me.

"Hi!" swipe with a cheerful face.

"Hi brother!" I raised both corners of my lips smiling.

"Today you'll take me somewhere."

"Where?" my many.

"As my Mother said yesterday, Mother told me to take you to the boutique."

"Wait a minute, who said I was ready to get engaged to you?"

"Have come. Mother is waiting." Brother Baruna pulled my arm. I couldn't stop his lightning-fast movements.

Not long ago, we were in the car. The journey to the boutique is time-consuming. It's not a far off place but we also have to get stuck with the capital's traffic jam. The car stopped at a crossroads because the traffic lights were on.

I groan in pain. My stomach feels so bad. I held my stomach that hurt. Looks like my stomach's inflammation is pulverized. Baruna turned to me, noticing the sound and look on my face that started to hurt.

"Why you?"

"My stomach hurts, brother. Looks like my maag relapsed." I grimaced in pain.

"I'm sorry, Sher. You should have had breakfast first. I'm even quick to take you away." The look on Baruna's face showed regret. "Hold a minute, I bought you medicine" he added.

When the traffic light changed green, Baruna immediately stepped on the gas and looked for a pharmacy. The driven car slowly observed every shophouse that was along the highway.

At one end of the road, we finally found a pharmacy. Brother Baruna immediately went down to walk into it. After a while he came out and gave me a bag full of medicine.

"There are many drugs. Not wrong?" I'm slack.

"Because I didn't know what medicine to buy, so I asked the pharmacist and he gave me all those drugs. I'll just buy them all" he said, holding back a laugh.

I'm looking for a drug I used to take to relieve my stomach inflammation. Fortunately, I found it and drank it.

"Hows it? Is it better?" he asked then, still with an anxious look on his face.

"Yes good," I replied.

"Goodoo. We can find a place to eat first" Baruna said again.

Not long after we arrived at a restaurant located close to the boutique we were going to. We also stopped to eat first.

When we ordered the menu we wanted, Baruna noticed the atmosphere around where we were sitting. Near us was a group of mothers who were joking. There seems to be an Arisan event. The sound of his laughter that spread wildly disturbed others around him.

"Sher, you'll be such mothers later" she chuckled.

I put on a little smile not to like the babble. My eyes were on a man with a distended stomach and a bald head in the middle.

"You will be like that father." I'm laughing a little.

"Let what matters you be my next step. Hahahaha," he said laughing.

"Don't expect it" my lips.

Brother Baruna was still laughing making others look at us.

"Hey I'm serious. Not funny to know!"

"I don't care" he said, relaxing.

"Okay, but don't blame me if tomorrow Fandy proposes to me and brother will be hurt."

"It's sure that your lover's proposal was accepted. Remember soon he will go to Japan" replied Kak Baruna.

"Don't Big Brother assign Fandy to Japan?" many spontaneous.

"No. That's the board meeting's decision. He does have the ability."

I breathed a sigh of relief. I think he's involved with all this. I almost thought negatively of him. Not long after our meal came, we couldn't wait to eat it.

"My son, why did you just come? Mother has waited a long time here."

"Sorry Bun, we went for a walk first" replied Kak Baruna.

"Goodoo. The streets can indeed familiarize your relationship. Oh yeah, meet Melani. He designed all the dresses here,"

"Melani." Melani thrust her hands together.

"Sheryl," I answered in greeting.

"Baruna" added Baruna.

"Based on the words of Ms. Meri, here I have separated some dresses that you will like as a reference" Melani explained.

I looked at the dresses that were so beautiful to the eye. Simple model, calm color but also sparkling when looking at it. I fell in love for a moment.

"Why look at it? Please try one-on-one, Sher," said Aunt Meri.

I nodded then stepped up and chose a light brown dress. Melani removes him from the mannequin statue and takes him to the dressing room to try.

I tried that dress. So fit in my body. Not too sexy and makes me feel good. I really like it. I completely forgot my original goal of rejecting the engagement. Women are easily distracted.

Drrt .. drrt .. drrt ....

My phone suddenly rang, but I didn't care.

I stepped out wearing that dress. Brother Baruna and Aunt Meri looked at me glued and then smiled.

"That dress fits you perfectly, son. You look beautiful." Aunt Meri clucked in admiration. "How do you think, Bar?" ask Aunt Meri.

"I'm just coming with Bun." Brother Baruna turned her red face looking at my appearance.

"Do you want to try anything else?"

"I'll choose this, Auntie," I replied.

"Yes, this one is it, Mel," added Aunt Meri.

"Good Mom. For Mas Baruna, Melani has prepared a variety of suitable suit models. Over here," Melani stepped into a special place of men's clothing. We followed him too.

"Where do you think Sher is?" bisik Kak Baruna's.

"Hmmm .... I'll take a look." I looked at all the recommended selections and chose one of them.

"Here you go!" I pointed at a suit with matching colors.

Melani took off the suit and gave it to Kak Baruna to try.

My phone keeps ringing. I grabbed my phone and saw Fandy's name on the screen.

Oh my God, I forgot about him. How'this? On one hand I feel guilty. On the other hand, I enjoyed this moment.

I shifted the green phone symbol to answer the call.

"What's Fan?" my many.

"Kenapa kamu menjawab teleponku seperti itu? Kamu tidak merindukanku?"

"Yes, of course I miss you" I whispered.

"Why talk whispers? Who the hell are you with?"

Suddenly Brother Baruna called me, "Sher, this fits right?"

I looked back and saw him wearing the suit. I'm amazed. His looks have doubled. Even in his day, he was wearing a suit.

"Hello Sher, whose voice is that? Tell me you're not with my boss!" fandy's tone of voice began to rise, preparing to explode his anger.

"Let's call again." I hurriedly hung up. Confusion entered my heart. How should I explain it to him?

I'm sorry Fandy.
