Prison of Love
Surprise

92

We arrived first at KUA. Hengky called that he and his extended family would be five to ten minutes away. He told me that some of his cousins did not seem to like MUA who put them on makeup and asked them to repeat the makeup.

Ah, some incidents that I consider sweeteners. Maybe it is natural because their brothers without themselves already look beautiful and handsome. Yeah, I don't see a single one of their big families that doesn't look good to the eye.

What an amazing family.

Thank goodness the waiting room in KUA is quite large and comfortable. At least there is a large AC that meets the capacity of the room that is also wide. I don't have to worry about my makeup. Yes, even though MUA who makeup me said that the makeup is guaranteed to be waterproof and hold until night.

Even so, while laughing he said, “Kan later in the day we meet again, Ma'am. The wedding is in the afternoon, right?”

Okay, for makeup, there's nothing to worry about.

“Mbak, mbaak.. it's Bang Andy later definitely come, right?” Rissa, my cousin's sister who was just in college the fourth semester whispered from behind.

I laughed softly, “Maybe yes, maybe not..”.

“Ih the Mother, maah. Seriusan dong, I've dandan pretty-beautiful gini loh..” he exclaimed while advancing his lips.

I clapped his hand that was on my shoulder, “Dunggawa aja yaa..”

Rissa was the fourth person to ask Andy about me this morning. Andy's charm is amazing. Not just in college, even now my cousins and employees are getting Andy fever.

I who do not like to talk so much now do not mind serving every question, congratulations and temptations from brothers, friends, and also KUA officers.

But until half an hour passed, the Hengky family group had not come. Abah and Mom started to get busy asking me to contact Hengky. Since the distance from the hotel and KUA only takes five minutes, it feels impossible for more than half an hour, they have not arrived.

I pressed the name Hengky on the mobile screen and then pressed the choice of the green phone handle.

Up to two calls but not also raised, until the third call, finally the phone is picked up.

“Halo, Hengky. Where are you?” ask me to ask until I forget to say hello.

“Naya..”.

“Eh? Brother Andy?” I kept the phone away from my ear to check that I didn't make the wrong call.

No, I actually pressed Hengky's name earlier.

“Naya, where are you? Can you step aside for a minute?” Andy's tone of voice seemed breathless.

Suddenly my heartbeat instantly hunts, “A-what's up, sister?” I whispered as I walked away from my brothers, looking for a slightly quiet place.

“There was a small accident, Naya. Hengky's car was hit from the opposite direction.”

My pupils are enlarged, my heart rate is stopped. I was unable to say anything. My knees suddenly went limp and I fell down.

But he was late. My tears have fallen without me preventing them. My lips could not say a single word. If Hengky's okay, he'll pick up my phone. If it was just a minor accident, he could have notified me himself without having to ask.

Hengky.

Seeing me fall down makes my brothers panic. Mother snatched the phone from my hand while my other brother held my shoulder, guiding me back to my seat.

I looked at Abah pusar, trying to hold back tears and screams but I couldn't. Abah immediately grabbed me into her arms, she stroked my head gently even though she didn't really understand what was going on.

Mother who just finished receiving the call drowned. But quickly he can control himself again, “Abah, Mr Dani KUA officer who became the ruler of Naya and Hengky today, right?”

Abah nodded slowly though did not understand the meaning of Mother's question.

“Naya, you must be strong. Don't spoil your makeup so Hengky can see it later. Come on, we're being asked to the hospital. Please Abah, call also the father of the ruler. We're going to the hospital.”

Suddenly chaotic atmosphere. The sound of my crying cannot be stopped. Some brothers cried while trying to calm me down.

“Those who come to the hospital only Abah, Mother, Naya, Mr. Penghulu, Uwak Ajo and Uncle Kasim. The rest please wait at home. I beg you to pray Naya, pray for our future daughter-in-law,” Mother's voice sounded raucous, her eyes were already red but Mother was great to endure her sadness.

My legs feel weak, I can't step. The worst shadow haunts me.

No. gabe. I wasn't ready. I was not prepared for a surprise like this, O God...

“Naya! You must be strong, boy! Don't be like this! We don't even know Hengky's true state yet.” Mom took my hand, trying to draw more power for me to at least get my foot in the car.

“Come, Son. Mr. Dani was waiting in the car,” Abah stood in front of me, extending his hand. His gaze was clearly sad, he was holding back the sadness so that I would not dissolve in fear.

Uwak rubbed my back gently, “Ayo, Naya..”.

I took a deep breath and then I exhaled slowly, I repeated it three times until the tightness in the chest was slightly reduced.

“Come, we leave.” Seruku.

------------------------------------------------

In the car I was not stopping. Busy calmed down so that my cries did not sound too loud. I already don't care about my makeup falling apart right now, what good is perfect makeup if Hengky isn't around? What is the use of this kebaya? What good is this white henna engraved perfectly on my finger?

“You are calm, Son. No way Hengky asked the ruler to come if he was severe or unconscious. Maybe he just wants you to be surprised. Isn't he usually like that? Aren't you, Bah?” ask Abah. The mother's trembling voice was in stark contrast to the tranquilizing sentence that came out of her lips.

I know Mom panicked as much as I did, and so did Abah. But they're trying hard for me.

Abah nodded. He looked back, “You are calm yes, son. Hengky is fine... Hengky is fine.. plant it in your mind.”.

Yes, Hengky is fine. Hengky must be fine.
