Not as Beautiful as Angan

Grandpa passed by fearing to reveal his secret

"Where's the bride?" Shouted those who witnessed the wedding ceremony.

"Yes, where's the bride? Ekaterin! Don't just use it!" Shouts the others too.

"Saturv! If you want to see the bride, don't be noisy!" Calming walnuts.

"It must be pretty, she's not, and-and she's beautiful" said another.

Everyone guessed it. Because it should be Cempaka must be beautiful more than usual. Because everyone around the village knew that Cempaka was the most beautiful girl there.

"Neng Cempaka, let's go out neng! Meet your husband because now you are officially and legally a married couple. May your household sakinah, mawadah warahmah" Mr. Penghulu called Cempaka who had been sitting behind the curtain of the door to the living room.

"Yes sir" Sahut Cempaka, with a sweet smile she went out to the living room, to meet her parents and also Karmin who has now become her husband.

"God, beautiful. Lucky for her who became her husband" Once the curtains were opened, all eyes looked at Cempaka's face so unblinkingly that he was amazed.

"O Allah, the man was very lucky to have a Cempaka neng. Buana, try if you're her husband"

Her aunt Buana was as sorry as she was.

With her eyes, Cempaka cupped her hands together and she pointed to all the people there, with a smile on her beautiful lips.

Karmin stared unblinkingly, he was very fascinated by her beauty Cempaka.

"It's a pity that the very beautiful Cempaka gets an unbalanced soul mate" Chirped someone.

"Yes right, why can neng Cempaka want to be with him? It's strange! I'm not beautiful, I don't want to be asked to marry her"

And the other chirps.

"He was betrothed by a Canary" Whispered a woman whose house was next to the Walnut.

"Astagfirullahaladzim, really ! Tega ya betrothed sister as pretty as Cempaka

with men who model like that. Mending if it's really dear. It seems like he is an unrighteous man" said the other.

"Kayak does not know just walnut, he will have envy of Cempaka. When Cempaka wanted to be proposed by Buana, he did not want Cempaka to get his match a policeman, because he did not get married to his brother Buana because his brother Buana did not like the mouth of his spiciness" Her aunt Buana revealed the events of the past, when Cempaka was a child.

"What kind of spicy mouth?"

"That, like to insult and demean others. He was very arrogant, much different from his parents and also very different from his brothers"

"Is there a sister like that?"

"Yes there, that's proof"

"How bad are you about Sekar and Jati sir?"

"It seems like it can't be said anymore"

"The marriage of Cempaka is very simple, unlike the older brothers, all the teachers are invited, all the citizens and all the acquaintances of Mr. Jati and Bu Sekar present at the wedding of his son. From two or three weeks before the party, distant relatives have come with their respective shipments. But, Cempaka's marriage, was very, very very simple, pity him as he was in the son of threshed" Gumam bi Ijah.

"I think I'm the only one who thinks so, it's true pity neng Cempaka, his fate is not as beautiful as his face, not as good as his character. Why is that so bi? There was no background, no decorations like the wedding party, no wedding chairs, no invited guests, no souvernir gifts, even the parents of the groom did not come. He only came alone, it was also because of delivering Kenari and Cempaka who went to his village Karmin"

"So? Then the bridegroom was as in the trap, his intention was only to deliver home, after reaching home, even told to marry Cempaka. Very lucky for Karmin!"

"But, if trapped, there is no way he has prepared dowry, fifteen grams of gold and five hundred thousand rupiah?" The other law.

"Well! That is a question mark for us, where to try money and gold jewelry that heavy? He'll only come here to take him home, not marry Cempaka. I heard earlier that Karmin had brought nothing. Kenari was forced to borrow his ring Bu Sekar for his dowry. But, ma'am Sekar did not give it" Whispered the others.

"Astagfirullahaladzim, to the whole Canary, O Allah of the Minjam dowry of the future-in-law?" The other timpal.

"It seems that Kenari deliberately made a disgrace for his own family, especially for Cempaka"

"It's very sad Cempaka"

"Pity his mother and father"

"Who is that grandfather? We all know him, and he is in our midst. I think someone invited him"

"Yes, but who knew and invited the old man?"

"Well, I wonder why Cempaka, bu Sekar and Pak Jati and we all want to obey all his words? Previously, Cempaka did not want to marry the Karmin. But, after the old man said and stroked Cempaka's head, he went straight, right?"

"Yes, that's right too. Mean neng Cempaka married her to the Karmin it is not his own will. But, because of the influence of the old grandfather. O Allah, poor indeed your fate is beautiful" Bi Ijah concluded.

The responses of the people who were there varied.

After greeting everyone present with his smile, Cempaka turned to approach his beloved mother.

"Mother, I ask for your do'a and blessing" Cempaka rested on the lap of Sekar's mother, a feeling of sadness suddenly seeping from within Cempaka's chest.

"Yes, son, I always pray for the best for you" At the rubbing of Cempaka's head with love, a feeling of sadness began to crawl his heartstrings bu Sekar, he said, until he could not feel his tears falling on the veil that covered his head Cempaka.

Everyone present there, who was waiting for the presence of Cempaka because he wanted to look at her beautiful face, all dissolved in the atmosphere of haru.

However, the chattering about Cempaka's unusual marriage was still jutting faintly in the ears.

After a while Cempaka dissolved in the arms of the mother. He turned to his father's lap, begged ma'af and asked do'a blessing.

The atmosphere happened again here, in the arms of his father. Cempaka cried wailing, as if there was something that made his heart very sad.

And yet, I don't know what?

After being sungkem to his parents, Cempaka also sungkem to his grandmother, because the grandfather was gone.

Then to his aunt and his brothers.

"Neng, forgive aunt, for not being able to prevent it" Bi Nani was so visibly sad. Of all the people present, apparently only bi Nani was not exposed to his hypnotism the mysterious grandfather. However, she could do nothing, only crying and regretting it.

As he knew the truth was about to be revealed, the mysterious grandfather said goodbye to everyone who was there.

"Because the show's over

a couple of brides are officially married, already married as husband and wife, then I will leave right now" he said while standing.

"Later, cake. Eat first the dishes that we have provided, do not need to rush" Bu Sekar tried to block the step of the grandfather.

"No need, I thank you very much. But I have to go now"

He said as he moved his feet towards the exit.

"Grandfather, wait a minute" call Mr. Ustadz.

"Ma'af, I can't because I've been parting, abstaining

for me if it's already a part

then sit down again" he said without looking at it.

Mr. Jati followed him, but he still did not want to hold back his steps even if only for a second.

With a feeling of disappointment because he could not entertain the grandfather, Bu Sekar immediately took the dish he had prepared, then he followed to give it to the grandfather. But still the grandfather did not want to accept it.

The old grandfather left his house, Bu Sekar, without looking back.

There are those who are confused by their attitude.

No one knows who he really is, except a canary.

"The end of the time of destruction of your fate has come, Cempaka" he murmured.

The old grandfather with a steady step passed leaving his house Bu Sekar.

All eyes stared at his back until it was lost in the twists of the road.

"Who's the old man, brother?" Ask bi Nani to Bu Sekar.

"I also don't know, suddenly he's here" Sahut bu Sekar was confused.

"It looks like Grandpa is not a citizen around this village of ours. He seems to be a distant person, we just met him this time, but there seems to be something else from him, like a power that is not owned by ordinary people" said Mr. Ustadz guessing.

"He was right, Mr. Ustadz. Neng Cempaka did not want to marry the Karmin. But, after being rubbed his head and talked to so immediately wanted" said a neighbor who had talked about it with bi Ijah.

"Yes Mr. Ustadz, that's right" Bi Nani agreed.

"Already! It's already! Don't su'udzon, don't be so bad, it's not good. Now look at all the problems that have been solved thanks to Grandpa.

Now there is no need to debate the unimportant! Look, it looks like the bride hasn't kissed the groom's hand, has she?" The canary immediately changed the subject.

All quiet, just looking at each other.

"Don't kiss her husband's hand, come closer nor do you. Aye right? The proof is that she is still away from her husband" said Kenari again asserted.

"Yes right" One of them said.

All eyes turned to look at Cempaka who was sitting next to her parents.

The gaze of those eyes seemed to tell Cempaka to approach Karmin, who had now become her martyr husband. Even if you don't know the truth.

Because the dowry also does not know where the origin.

The bride did not know the truth, nor did everyone who was there.
