The Black Valley Becomes the Empress

The Part 10

The day started at night as I sat under my bedroom window still wearing a white kebaya. Both of my hands were kept in the window to support my head. My eyes started to swell even though tears were no longer flowing. I'm still waiting for the gold. Wish he came up with an apology and a thousand reasons to explain why he didn't come to our wedding. I heard the whispers of my two sisters who were worried about my situation and cursed the evil mas who had deliberately ravaged my heart. But I still stick to my belief that gold will come to me for a thousand reasons of course. A thousand reasons I will never ask the truth. I don't know if I'm too trusting of the love in her heart or too stupid to believe in someone like you. I admit it has everything. Power, office, money, a handsome face that perhaps hundreds of women far more honorable than myself would be easy to obtain just by snapping her finger the woman would willingly rest before her. While me? Who am I? Only a peddler of love dares to dream of becoming a Queen of a kingdom.

The ringing of the cell phone brought me back to the real world. My heart was pounding, my heart began to whisper if it was from the cross. Quickly I took the phone I didn't put it not far from where I was sitting. A WhatsApp message came to my number. "Kirey" I said in my heart when I saw the message notification on my phone. I quickly opened the picture message from him. 5 pictures and 3 messages sent to my no. I read word for word that was on my phone screen while waiting for the image to be downloaded.

"Queenza dear, remove all your dreams to be the wife of Mr. Gilang. Because none of that will ever happen"

"How does it feel to live in a pelaminan? Is it sick or is it really sick?"

"Poor Queenza, your future husband is hot too if in bed. Sorry for the first night you have to see the prospective husband lo bobo with me. From yesterday your future husband does not want to come home from my boarding house. he said I was better in bed" My blood boils. My anger's mounting. I saw the picture Kirey sent. Mas Gilang was sound asleep next to Kirey. I can't stand it anymore.

"Oh apparently elo start to change profession? So the actor now? Didn't do it, huh? Pantes aja lo kicked out of there" I reply kirey chat with that sentence. I was very angry with him, but I didn't want to make him feel like he was winning by showing my disappointment.

"Heh, you trashy girl. How dare you be with me? Are you still living, lo?"

"Udah accept fate, if it is already stale yes. Must accept donk. his name is also alive" My body trembled as I started typing that sentence. I screamed with all my might. I threw the phone I was holding onto the floor. Letting it crumble and crumble so I can't see any more messages coming in from kirey. I was crying like that. I ignored the sound of knocking on the door from my sisters while calling my name. I started to go crazy throwing all the things near me. I tore the kebaya I was wearing. I pull the jasmine flowers that are still attached to my hair even though the color is not as fresh as before. Cries and screams kept coming out of my mouth. Roaring made the sound of knocking on the door sound louder. Maybe my two sisters are currently worried about my situation. I curled up in the corner of the room. I was crying like that. Forcibly pulling all the ornaments that decorated my body by force, then throwing them out of nowhere. My eyes began to twitch, dizziness whack every inch of my head, my body getting weaker. And eventually it all went dark.

I heard the voices of my two brothers calling my name while shaking my body. My eyes were still dark, I tried to get up. My eyes were still glaring as I looked at my two sisters.

"teas.. Eteh.. Eteh wakes up tea" Fadly's voice. There was a tense tone from his voice. I'm forcing you to take a quick look at Silvana. His face was puffy, maybe he had finished crying. My head is still dizzy. I gather the remaining energy to try to get up.

"just rest" said Fadly while holding me in his arms.

"Teen tea to drink" said silvana, handing me a glass of water. "ethat's not the case anymore.don't make us worry" continued silvana with a hiccup.I force a smile.

"Which father?" my voice is still vibrating.

"Father in the room, in temenin mang juha" replied silvana.

"not now tea. eteh still lemes. later ena anter eteh to the father's room"

"father knows it was eteh.." I did not continue my sentence.Tears came back from the corner of my eyes.

"Yes, I know you fainted"

"eeth must see father"

"yes tea, later"

"Sir eteh want it now" I tried to get up. silvana then helped me. Can't he refuse my request. I stepped slowly into father's room. silvana and fadly helped me on the left and right. it was me who walked with a limp.

"Sir.." I said as I was in the doorway of my father's room. My voice shakes when I call him.

"am u i ah eeh ak ahh "(Alhamdulillah eteh is okay) said the father. tears just flowed from his eyes. flowing rivers on his cheeks that have begun to wrinkle inedible age.

"Tea is okay sir. Eteh forgot to eat so fainted" I said lying. He nodded while trying to smile, even though I knew he was lying.

"Mr don't think about eteh. Eteh it's okay just a relapse of his stomach" once again I reiterate my sentence. again the father nodded. I tried to approach the father. his tears as if reluctant to stop flowing "father why cry?" my many. There was a pain in my chest.the pain that made my chest tight.I tried to hold my tears in front of my father. I wanted to prove that I was okay. "Have you taken your medicine?" I turned my eyes to silvana and fadly in turn, as if I were waiting for an answer from them.

"it's tea, it was love" said fadly. I nodded to fadly. My face turned to my father.

"Mr Eteh sleeps here, does he same father? eteh wants to be in the hug of the father" I said again. I see the father just nods. "teh change clothes first yes sir" I continued. then I stepped out of the room.

In my room, I shed my tears, and opened up all the pain I felt as soon as I finally returned to my father's room.
