"For Mom..." Greet the employees as Queen enters her office lobby.

"Morning," said the Queen who rushed towards the elevator.

Queen is assistant director. So, he was very respected in his office. However, he remained friendly to the employees and considered himself the same as his other employees. His attitude that, make Queen very liked in his office. No one was gossiping or telling bad things about Queen.

When arriving on the floor of his room, Queen was greeted by employees who were already in their seats. Friendly, the Queen returned their greetings kindly.

An employee escorted Queen, as she walked towards her room.

"Mom, the meeting room is ready" said Yuyun, Queen's secretary.

"Oh yes, the boss has arrived?" Queen asked while releasing her blazer.

"Not yet Ma'am,"

"Yes, we'll hold off until the Boss comes, '" Queen said with a smile.

"Okay, ma'am" Yuyun said, and she returned to her seat.

Queen picked up the phone in her room and contacted the pantry to order a cup of coffee for her to enjoy before the meeting started.

After he spoke on the phone with an office boy, Queen put the phone back on and sat down waiting for his coffee to come.

While waiting, Queen tries to contact Ricky to ask about their new year plans.

Not waiting long, Ricky immediately received a call from Queen.

That's what makes Queen love Ricky. Man, it always raised its call after the second dial tone rang on Queen's phone. No matter what, Ricky was driving or whatever. The man always put himself first.

"Yes dear," said Ricky gently.

"Hi, what else?" Ask Queen excitedly.

"Just got to the office" Ricky said.

"Oh so, sorry to call you in the morning."

"It's okay baby..., what's up?"

"Where are we going in the new year?" Ask Queen without wasting any time.

"Hhhmmm.it seems like I have a duty out of town baby, the twenty-nine date I have to go to Surabaya. Maybe one week I was there," Ricky said.

"Well, we can't both dong" Queen said, frowning.

"I'm sorry baby" Ricky said in a clear voice.

"Well, then, I'll go with my friend, okay?"

"Where are you going?"

"You're going to Korea, okay?" Ask Queen.

"Hmmm, can. As long as you don't cheat, don't mess with other guys. Just watch!" Threat Ricky.

Queen smiled and moved from her seat. As usual, he always stared out the window while doing nothing in his office room.

"No, my friend's name is Tika. We used to travel together." Queen tried to convince Ricky.

Queen smiled again, there was a flowery-like taste on top of her head. For a long time he had not received any romantic speech and treatment from any man after Antoni had left his life.

"Yes, yes, I want to meet first, yes,"

"Ok, bye dear..."

"Daddy..." Queen said, ending the call.

He smiled and looked out the window.

"Over time, I'm starting to get convinced by this guy. May I be a match with him" muttered Queen.

After that he again contacted Tika, to tell the girl, if she would take a vacation together.

Of course, it was welcomed happily by Tika. Besides they rarely met, there was a lot Tika wanted to tell Queen. Including her who will give up her single for a few more months.

Queen glanced at her watch and ended her conversation with Tika. Then, he moved into the meeting room.

..

A few days later, Queen was ready for a vacation. All the preparations, starting from the ticket and the others were already in his hands. However, as she packed her things, Queen stared at the only coat left in her closet. He forgot, if his coat was there, he had shared it with his brother who was going on vacation abroad. So, what remained was the only dark brown coat in his closet.

One coat is not enough, during the winter in Korea. He plans to buy another coat at a nearby mall from his home. Queen could have bought a coat in Korea. Only, he was afraid that his coat was dirty and there was no substitute before he had time to shop.

Queen rushed to the Mall which was only fifteen minutes from her home. After being ready to dress up, Queen also drove her car to the Mall.

Fifteen minutes later, Queen arrived at her destination Mall. He casually headed to his subscription coat booth.

Queen immediately looked for the coat she would buy. An SPG caters to Queen graciously and helps Queen to try out some interesting coats in Queen's eyes.

After nearly half an hour, Finally, Queen's choice fell to two coats that were dark gray and pitch-black in color. Queen smiled when she was given a discount when paying for the two coats and some scarves that she also bought, at the cashier.

After what he wanted, had been obtained, Queen rushed out of the booth and intended to have lunch at one of the restaurants in the Mall.

The restaurant was a restaurant that he used to stop with Antoni, when they were still together. Eating at the restaurant reminded her of Antoni. But, wanting to eat at his other restaurant, Queen was a little reluctant. Because it was his favorite restaurant.

"It's okay, eat while remembering the former," murmured while devouring a bowl of asparagus soup.

After the meal, Queen reluctantly lingered at the restaurant. He hurried to pay for his order and intended to go home.

But, before her, she stopped by the toilet first to urinate and tidy up her makeup first.

Without the Queen realizing it, there was a man following himself from behind. The man stopped his footsteps when he saw Queen go into the ladies' room.

The man leaned against the outside wall of the toilet, staring at the door. It seemed that he did not want to lose track of Queen, because at that time the toilet looked crowded.

After completing her wish, Queen washed her hands and added lipstick on her lips that had faded slightly, because she had eaten lunch at a restaurant in the Mall. After convincing her appearance was perfect, Queen went out of the toilet.

As he exited the toilet, he was shocked to see Antoni, his former fiancee who was already standing waiting for him in front of the door.

The surprised face could not be avoided. The man looked at the Queen with a sad look.

"Queen," Sapa Antoni.

"Antony?" Queen looks shaky, longing, annoyed, sad, happy to blend into one. It was very desirable that he hugged Antoni tightly and cried in the arms of his former lover. But Queen tried to hold back that feeling. Because he realized, now Antoni no longer belongs to him. Antoni is married and he does not want to look still hope or give hope to Antoni who looks still love him from the sad eyes of the man.
