Chapter 8: Drama

The drama will be in 1 hour. All the players had changed clothes and put on makeup. Now we are doing a clean gladi but without motion. Ryan's sister told the players to make a circle, then speak according to the scene and of course without reading the text. This 2nd clean gladi is quite good. All players have their own parts. Sis Ryan also said that if my way of speaking was right it just had to be hardened again, even though later we use loudspeakers.

15 Minutes before the drama began, we put our hands together and were led by Brother Ryan. "Hopefully the drama of the prince and the wooden girl can run smoothly," he said to others.

"Bismillah" said we all together, raising our hands up.

After that we walked to the hall. I can see how many people can't wait for this drama to continue. Somehow the nervousness started attacking me. It was my first time acting in front of so many people. "Focus same appearance. You can, deck. Lantangin voice, do not get nervous you make what you have lost all. Spirit," said Brother Ryan who was standing next to me.

"False, Brother. Spirit as well," I replied with a sweet smile.

Brother Febi who as the narrator has entered the hall. "In this desolate forest. The prince found a beautiful girl who stole his heart. In fact, at the first meeting, the Prince had already fallen in love with the girl who was gathering wood and the fallen canteen. And this is the story of the Prince and the Wooden Girl, who watched safely" said Febi, who then walked to the edge of the stage.

Ryan's brother in his prince's shirt walked into the hall. The boisterous sound of the audience shouting his name. Is that as popular as Ryan?

"Hi, what's your name?" Just now Brother Ryan spoke like that, the hall was immediately crowded. If I were Ryan's sister, I would've been sweating coldly because of her nervous cusp.

"My name is Girl. You prince?" ask Silvi-sister class who is in class with Kak Ryan-Peran Gadis Kayu.

"Don't you see this shirt I'm wearing? You know, everybody recognized me right away because of this shirt of mine."

"Sorry, prince. Prince why is it here? It's not that the prince can't leave the palace without a soldier."

"I'm tired of the palace atmosphere. I want to live freely, without the ladies serving me. Without the soldiers escorting me. Because I can take care of myself."

"But the prince, the person in the palace must be worried. The prince must return soon."

"No. I wouldn't have come back if I wasn't with you."

The back row hall. I laughed at the screams of the girls who said, "prince, if he doesn't want to, take me."

"What are you taking me to the palace for."

"Of course to marry you."

"But we just knew the Prince."

"What harm? I've fallen for you."

"Well, if the prince insists. But the prince has to ask my mother for my blessing."

"good. Where's yourhouse?"

"Follow me."

"Wood Girl also drove the prince to his house. On the way they shared their stories. Making Wood Gadia also fell in love. Especially the prince that handsome. Then they arrived at the Wooden Girl's house to ask Mom for her blessing."

Now scenes. I entered the hall with my kebaya shirt and the stick I was holding. The atmosphere is directly different. Feels hot and gripping. I could see from the corner of my eye, everyone was looking at me.

"Mother, I brought a friend."

"Who is he, son? How to be a prince."

"He's a prince, Mom."

"Then, what's he here for?"

Ryan's sister came up to me, making me nervous. When I was training I was ordinary. "I came here to ask for my blessing. I want to marry your daughter."

"Aren't you wrong? My son and I are from a poor family. The house is also in the middle of the forest like this."

"I've fallen for your daughter."

"I can't bless you guys."

"Why, Mom?"

"You've only known 1 day. I can't approve."

"No, Girl. You can't marry her."

"Why? The girl is not the mother's son either. Why did you forbid girls? Girls also want to live in the palace, not in the middle of the forest like this. Tired girls live hard, Mom."

"If you say no, you don't."

"Then the girl will still leave without the blessing of Mother," Silvi said as she pulled Kak Ryan away.

"If you keep going, you'll come back to your true form."

"The Prince and the Wooden Girl pay no heed to Mother's words. They went to the palace. Their wedding ceremony was widespread throughout the city. Many people could not wait for that day and it came."

"Are you nervous?"

"No, prince. I'm happy, we're gonna be husband and wife."

"I am too."

"I marry and marry the Prince..."

"Just saying that, suddenly the Wooden Girl turned into a white rabbit."

"Why can you be like this?"

"It seems to be because of Mother's words."

"So you're a rabbit?"

"I used to be the princess in the palace located in the city of Sebrang. But because I made a mistake, I was cursed by my father to be a rabbit and I was banished to the forest. It was my mother who helped me, she was a powerful person who made me human again. But one condition for me to remain human, is to obey it. If I don't obey him, then forever I'll be a rabbit."

"What about our marriage?"

"Forget it. I have to go back to the forest. Forgive me prince, I love prince."

"So that, the Wooden Girl who turned into a rabbit returned to the forest. But when he wanted to meet the Mother, it turned out that the Mother was gone. Live him alone in the middle of a lonely forest. While the Prince continues to grieve because his first love can only last a blink of an eye. So much and thank you."

Applause enliven the hall. Whistles, compliments, fans screaming Ryan, all mixed up. We the theatre members lined up on stage and saluted the audience and thanked them as well. It turns out that fun also plays a role in this drama.

"Not a major role? Even being a granny" Yuli protested. My 4th friend met me in front of the theater room, because I had left food with them.

"Ntar deh, the timing of the MOS closing drama."

"Ntar-ntar just keep going."

"Udahlah, Yul. Tia's acting was good," praised Dita who I gave 2 thumbs up.

"Yes, Ti's good. I'm proud to have your tea," said Jihan.

We 5 hugged. Then came Brother Ryan who had just come from the hall. Jihan asked Brother Ryan to take a picture of us 5. "One, two, three. Change style" he said, making me laugh. Her voice is funny, funny.

"Now replace. Ryan's sister who took the same photo as Tia" chirped Anye who got the eye shot from me. But I can't refuse. They all pushed me and I didn't want to waste this opportunity either.

"One, two, three. Change the style of dong, continue to be less tight," said Jihan who became a photographer.

After that, my 5th friend went back to class and I stayed with Sister Ryan. "Where was my appearance, brother?"

"Good start. I give 2 thumbs up" he said while giving me 2 thumbs up.

"My finger is still complete, brother," I said showing my fingers. He laughed and pinched my nose, "funny anyway, deck."

Ryan always does. I'd pinch my nose if I looked funny to him. If I were as brave as he was, I would pinch him on the cheek if he looked funny to me.

"That picture of us I posted on ig."
