Dear Madam It is not unusual to experience delay in period even for a month. If you are not expecting pregnancy than just wait and watch for few months. You should keep in mind that your negative imagination may actually delay the period. Be clear that non-pregnancy related delay in period may not be harmful to you at least for few expected cycle, though you have to regularise it with medication if at all it happens. Another thing is that before the next cycle you may feel sad, feel like crying, negative imagination etc. If it happened in the past than same thing is happening again.
