The Black Valley Becomes the Empress
Part 9's

Today will be the most historic day of my life. Soon the Gilang mas will say kabul ijab in front of the witness. I lyrics the clock on my phone screen, time to show at 7:39 is only a few minutes away I will release my bachelor title. I look at my reflection in front of the mirror. White kebaya with a bun and jasmine flowers attached, affirming if I am the queen of a day. I remember the first time I met Mas Gilang. The first time he came into my room. All of this was the beginning of my new life. The life I'm sure will be much better than it used to be.

"Teh" silvana sounds spread my daydreams. I glanced towards the source of the voice. Silvana looks very beautiful with navy color kebaya.

"Here is Ena" I said to have silvana sit down near me. "What's wrong?"

"Beautiful tea. Lucky yaa mas gilang dapetin eteh" I smiled at the sentence my sister said. If only I could say to my sister, if in fact I'm the lucky one to get a gold mas.

"You're beautiful too" I said as I pinched her nose. "Your boyfriend is a lot?" said teasing.

"Ena doesn't want to go out for tea. Ena wanted to exist first Ena's dream. It's good to be a doctor"

"hmmm sure? Having a boyfriend makes the spirit of learning"

"Ahhh what spirit? Ena's friends who already have a boyfriend even so not really school. Early courtship they are busy chatting, continue to break up they cry" he said. "Don't want to ah think of school just dizzy, let alone think of love" he continued. I laughed hearing the innocent story of my sister. "Eteh later after marriage will often come here not tea?

"Yes depending on sister-in-law, if busy yes probably will be rare"

"Teh" the voice was half screaming from the front door of the room that we accidentally did not close. Silvana and I looked at each other at the same time. "The forefather has come, but koq mas gilang has not come yet? It's half nine" now"

"It's still on the way de kali" said silvana.

"Yes.may be coming soon" I corroborated silvana's answer. "Have the forerunner wait a little while" I continued. Fadly then left.

"Times with tea?" this time, silvana commented. I nodded in agreement with her comment, although in my heart there was a feeling of anxiety that I felt.

"Na, have you taken your medicine?" I deliberately switched the conversation. I tried to shake off all the fear I was feeling right now.

"Udah tea was a bribe. Try tea phone mas gilang" my sister this one is the hardest I divert his attention. I followed silvana's advice.I started massaging numbers on my phone screen. Only a connecting tone was heard, but the owner no did not answer my call.

"Ena get out first. Look outside. While waiting for the cross as well" I nodded my head repeatedly. My mind began to assemble all the possibilities that would happen. What if you don't come? what if I forget? what if I change my mind? what if I miss an accident. ahhh all the possibilities keep spinning in my head. I tried to call back many times but still no answer. My heart is getting restless. "It's 1 hour late" I said in my heart as I realized the time had turned 9:15. I opened the WhatsApp app on my phone then started typing letter by letter.

"Where is Mas?"

"They're all waiting, you're still far away?"

"Yes..."

"Mas all right, isn't it?"

"Mas, tell me nobody's worried"

All the WhatsApp messages I sent to the chat room had no signs of being read. I'm getting worried. My heart is beating irregularly. My eyes started to glaze over. "God, why did all this happen? If my marriage fails, what will be the shame? God, why does it have to be like this? If you want to punish me, punish me but do not punish my family" Tears continue to flow into my cheeks.

"Tea" Ena's voice sounded heavy. Quickly I looked at him. "The parents had another appointment with someone else. He said goodbye" I let out a long sigh hearing the words of silvana. "Where's tea? Did he tell his father to wait another 30 minutes? While waiting for the gold" he paused for a moment. "Where is it? confuse people" silvana said to himself.

"Ena, tell her parents to come home. Kasian if you have to wait. After all, if the loss comes can be called again" my voice hoarsely withstood the cries.

"Related tea?" I nod my head.

"But before that you take the father first to the room, Eteh does not want the father to be horrified" I said again. Tears flowed back from the corner of my eye. The pain was so deep I felt.

"Aren't you gonna tell me to wait a minute?" silvana has again assured me of my decision.

"So. Hitherto. Eteh asked for help, yes, you handle in front. Eteh wanted to be alone first" I turned my body back just after I finished my sentence. Tears kept flowing from the corner of my eye. I heard when Silvana stepped out of my room. He also did not forget to close the door. I dropped my body still wearing a white kebaya complete with jasmine flowers onto the bed. I put my face on the pillow. Crying as much as I can is all I can do to represent the feeling of disappointment whack in my chest. No longer do I care how now my makeup, my wish for this moment is to go running and scream with all my might.

Maybe it's true Mba Rina said to me the other day, when I decided to quit my job. "Don't be too trusting of the Queen's men, we're different from the girls out there. We're just puppets who shouldn't have feelings. I love you, I want the best for you. Don't assume I'm not happy with you want to marry. I am fond of koq, I was just afraid that the cross only wanted to maenin lo" at that time I just answered his words with a smile. Because I feel sure that I love me as much as I love her. Even until now, when the goldfish was not present at our wedding I still believe the gold mas could not possibly not love me. Maybe there's something else that makes him unable to attend our wedding. Maybe there was some sudden business that he couldn't leave. Or maybe he.... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
