For some people, dreams are just a flower. In a real sense, dreams are subconscious experiences that involve hearing, sight, thoughts and feelings. Events in dreams are usually impossible, and beyond the power of the dreamer. However, sometimes, there are also those who dream of the past that has happened.
Rani sat on the bed. The memories of the past had just greeted him through a dream.
Two years ago was the day of her marriage to a man she had been betrothed to since childhood. Who would have thought, the day that should be the happiest day even became the worst day in the history of his life.
"Rani, are you ready yet?" A middle-aged woman entered a room that had been decorated as beautifully as possible.
"In a moment, ma'am," answered Rani smilingly staring at her reflection in the mirror.
"Well, mom's son is so pretty." The mother also looked in the mirror, praising the princess's beauty.
"Mom, what's Daniel like now?"
It was always that question that came from Rani's lips. She was very curious as to what her future husband would look like now. Because they only met as children, before Daniel joined his parents moved out of the country. And as far as Rani knows, Daniel was a pretty geeky kid with thick glasses.
"You must like it. Daniel was a perfect man."
"Is Daniel like a father? I want to have a husband like my father, Mom! Cool dad, dear Mom, responsible, just perfect dad in my eyes."
"God willing, son. Daniel came back from abroad just for you. The proof, he kept the promise to his late father to marry you. That's proof that Daniel was responsible. If she wants, she can marry a pretty bule-bule, right. But he still chose you, didn't he?"
The woman's words made Rani blush in embarrassment. His whole heart justifies his mother's words. He is sure, the man of his late father's choice will be the best match for him.
"Mom, what will happen after marrying Rani to join Daniel out of the country?"
"As for Daniel later, obviously you should come because he's your husband. Daniel doesn't have any other family here. His parents are also dead. Wh why? You're impatient, aren't you?"
"It's not so, Mom! Hehe ... Daniel is weird, Mom! Now the technology is advanced. Can be via Instagram, WhatsApp, email, video call ... We can communicate with anyone. But why wouldn't Daniel show himself?"
Mom smiled as she shook her head at Rani's words. "Daniel said, this is a surprise for you. You take it easy, Daniel who is now a handsome, really."
Mother glanced at the clock on the wall that had shown at eight in the morning, while Rani had not finished herself. Seeing the mother who had glanced at the clock several times made Rani wonder.
"Why, Mom?" the tanyanya made mom smile again.
"Rani, you go with the same Gembule, yes. I have to get there first. Not good for guests who have come."
"Yes, Mom. Later Rani departs just as Gembul."
"Yes already, mom's staying, yeah ..." Mother kissed her daughter's forehead before she finally left the room. Leaving the still-self Rani.
Time is rolling so fast. One hour was not felt. The direction of the short hand on the wall clock was already showing at nine in the morning when the knock on the door sounded. A girl entered in a hurry.
"Rani, let's hurry! Don't be late!"
"Yes, Mbul. It's over, too."
With a quick movement, Gembul helps Rani stand up, then join hands with each other, stepping out of the room to a car that will take them to the place where the marriage contract takes place.
Along the way, Rani keeps thinking of someone who will soon be her husband. A man who some say is very handsome.
"Where do I know? Indeed, I had met the Daniel once," he replied with a slow laugh.
"I don't mean about the physicality. He lived abroad and only returned a few days ago. Does he have a girlfriend abroad?"
"If she has a boyfriend abroad. Why did he come back just to marry you. Overseas it's a lot of pretty bulls. As for you, short, close, alive again." After saying that sentence, Gobul laughed again. An irritated Rani pushed the body of Gembul several times while laughing along.
"Sir, please speed up the car. Maharani was impatient to meet his Maharaja," said Gembul intended to be literate again.
The driver nodded slowly, then stepped on the accelerator pedal, so the car sped up quickly and overtaken several vehicles in front of him.
Suddenly, from the front, a bus was speeding up, making the driver slam the steering wheel to the left to avoid an accident. However, on the left side is a pretty steep ravine. Rani and Gembul were screaming in fear. Suddenly a sedan car appeared from behind, as if to be a shield for the car Rani was riding.
For a moment, Rani turned to someone in the car, a man with a very shady look. Their views meet each other. And, in just seconds, the bus hit the sedan car so that it was dragged far away, while the car Rani boarded was struck so that it smashed to the left. Luckily, the driver stepped on the brake pedal so the car stopped right on the side of the cliff.
Bruk!
There was a sound like a loud impact coming from behind. With a hunting breath, Rani tried to regain her consciousness.
Instantly Rani looked back there, it was already seen a puff of black smoke merging with the air.
Rani pulls the doorknob of the car, but immediately Gembul pulls her hand.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to see the man who was in the accident. If it wasn't for the car, we'd all be killed by the bus."
"Rani, it's your wedding day. We can't be late." He glanced at the driver outside. Looks like he's checking the damage to his car. "Sir, let's hurry! Easy car business! The important thing is that Rani is not late!"
The man immediately got into the car, as soon as he heard the bulging cry.
"But, Mbul ..."
"Already, Ran! You want to get married?"
The car drove away from the place, while Rani kept looking back. There are a lot of people who are already huddled there.
"May the man be safe" he said in his heart.
Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a building where a marriage contract was to be held. Mother who had been waiting for the arrival of her daughter immediately welcomed her.
"Why long, Ran?"
"There was a little incident on the street." As if impatient, Rani looked inside the building. Seeking the whereabouts of her future husband among the guests. "Where's Daniel, Mom?"
"Daniel has not arrived. I've been calling since, but the number's not connected. Maybe in a minute."
