The Marriage Order

The Marriage Order
Keep Distance



The funeral ceremony took place at night. The atmosphere of mourning is quite crowded attended by relatives, friends, relations, and corporate rivals. They are also very loving and respectful of his figure which is quite great to be a role model in family and business.


I rolled my eyes looking at Om Anton and Aunt Meri who were still glued to see their only parents had left them. Mr. Reynand and his family were also present in all-black clothes. Aunt Aina looks sad. He occasionally wiped away the falling tears. Mr. Reynand just silently embraced his mother throughout the ceremony. Indira and her husband were silent a thousand languages saw the chest that was gradually lowered into the burrow.


My family, they also came staring at the new burrow. As for me, still standing next to Kak Baruna who had been silent since. He kept holding my hand tight. Not letting me get away from him for a second.


The funeral ceremony was soon completed. We turned around to leave the cemetery.


Brother Reza approached us who walked first in front of him. He called Brother Baruna, "Bar!"


Baruna looked at him. The face that had been sad turned a little tense when I saw my brother's face.


"What's up?!" ketus tanyanya.


"Lo still sprain me?"


"According to you?"


They ask each other questions without a definite answer. I looked at their faces in turn, confused.


"What's up, anyway?" ask me to interrupt their conversation.


"Honey, you can go first to the car," said Kak Baruna while looking at me seriously.


"Why? Are you keeping something from me?" I asked again full of search.


"No" said Baruna Briefly.


"Then why should I wait for you in the car?"


"Baruna knows better what he's saying, Dek. He's your future husband" replied Reza no less seriously.


Baruna answered nothing. I immediately got into his car even though I kept wondering why.


I sat down at the wheel. Staring at the two of them who were talking seriously through the windshield wall of the car.


I've never seen them this serious.


I kept watching those who were talking seriously without hearing a single word coming out of their mouths. Not long Reza then left Kak Baruna.


Baruna rushed into the car. I looked towards him with a sour face. He who knows my frustration waits and turns his face to my face. His fingers stretched out to touch my forehead to my lips.


"smile. If your beautiful lips are pouting, it makes me impatient to have them."


"My smile cannot be forced. I'm pissed at you!" my protest.


Does he not understand if I am angry? Why even tease me like that?


Baruna then smiled and replied, "No need for you to tell me, I already know the angry face you're showing."


"Why am I being ignored and not being able to hear what you're talking about?"


"Nothing serious, baby. Believe me!"


"How can I believe that? You guys are very serious about something."


"Let's go back to my house first," he asked to switch the conversation. He immediately runs his car. I did not answer his invitation and still continued to portray an annoyed face.


The car is moving fast. Half an hour later we arrived at Kak Baruna's residence. He opened his car door and extended his hand to me. His treatment to me is so sweet even though we are fighting right now.


"Here you go, don't be angry anymore. Me and Reza were just talking about work."


"I can't believe it" I said, looking away.


"Yes already." Brother Baruna said the thing that made my forehead wince. He doesn't usually give up on seducing me.


Brother Baruna turned his head for a moment towards Mr. Reynand and his parents then rushed into the room. I followed her quick steps into the room.


Suddenly he twisted his body stepped closer and pulled me into a hug. Closer his face in front of my face, pulled the nape of my neck abruptly, and swiftly kissed my lips perfectly. So soft it made my chest feel rumbling. Keep smearing it until my face flushes and heats up. I kissed her the same way.


Wh-tok-tok!


There was a knock on the door of Kak Baruna's room which was heard from outside. But we ignored the sound of the knock. So long as the sound of knocking was heard, the knocker became impatient to open the door which happened to be unlocked.


He was silent for a moment watching us who were making out in front of his eyes. I turned my back on him, not caring who entered, still with a mutual outpouring of mutual affection.


"Sorry .... Uhm .... I was told Aunt Meri to call you to dinner together" said the knocker. His voice is very familiar, the heavy voice of Mr. Reynand who sounded a little doubtful. I tried to look back to make sure.


Baruna's sister rounded her eyes to see the face of her rival, not immediately let go of her kiss to me. Nor did he let me see his brother's face. In just three seconds, Mr. Reynand again rushed to close the door.


I pulled myself out, releasing our kisses that still left a beating heart hunting each other as well as breaths that were still not regular.


"Why?" her question was confused as I removed her lips from mine.


"none. We should be coming for dinner."


"No, the look on your face doesn't say that. You stopped kissing me because you heard her voice, didn't you?" tanyanya.


"No, dear," I replied convincingly.


"I saw your face say something else."


"No, dear," I reassured him again.


Baruna's sister kissed me again. This time he touched and crushed it violently and continued to venture down the neck. His hands began to crawl into my clothes all of a sudden.


I was surprised by his different attitude. Looks very aggressive, makes me uncomfortable for his actions. I immediately pulled myself out of his embrace. He was silent looking at me.


"Why don't you, baby? If Reynand did something like this would you refuse too?" asked Baruna Sis cynically. Anger was painted on his face.


I clenched both my hands in anger, then turned around to leave the room. Brother Baruna just looked at my back that went by said nothing.


Brak!


I closed the door with emotion. My heart aches being accused of a no-no by him. Everything that happened was not what I wanted at all. I walked out of that place.


"Sheril!"


I heard Mr. Reynand calling me from behind. I closed my eyes for a moment. He's always been everywhere.


Why hasn't he left here?


My steps stopped, immediately looking back. The figure of Mr. Reynand had not yet moved from the side of Kak Baruna's room door.


"What's up?!" I asked in a loud voice while angry looking at his face.


He stepped closer to me.


"Stop! Enough to get there. Please keep a distance of one meter from me!" my orders were half screaming.


Mr. Reynand's steps stopped. He looked at my confused face.


"I don't want my fiancee to misunderstand you" I added. "If you have anything to say, please say it now."


"Sorry" he said slowly.


Mr. Reynand just said that word and left me alone. Now change I look at his back go slowly away. A bit of regret lingered in my mind for snapping at him.
