Queen threw her body on the bed. He lay down while pulling his body to feel relaxed. The tiredness that approached him made him start to sleepy. Tika is getting ready to take a shower. He glanced at Queen who was starting to shut down, Tika smiled and let her friend to rest a while before dinner arrived.


In a different place, Raka had just finished taking a shower. He wears a towel and heats the water to make a glass of tea.


While waiting for her hot water, Raka unpacks her suitcase and prepares the clothes she will wear for dinner.


A few minutes later, the heating jug rang, a sign that the water was boiling. Raka pulled out the switch in the teapot and poured the boiling water into a glass that already contained a tea bag and a little sugar.


Raka moved to the front of the window while carrying a glass of tea that was still emitting hot steam. He stared at the view of Seoul City from the 10th floor where the hotel room he rented was located.


Outside, the weather is pretty cold. Rinai snowing makes the atmosphere more sahdu. Raka smiled remembering the Queen who had been sitting beside her all the way. His heart was pounding at every thought of the girl.


Raka grabs her phone and tries to contact Queen. Because it is not connected, he also realized if his mobile number cannot be used in the country.


Raka let out a long sigh, then she sipped her tea. He looked back out the window.


"Maybe God has a unique plan to unite you and me. I don't know why, it all feels so coincidental. I'm more sure, if one day, you're my match Queen" he muttered.


Raka smiled and put her tea glass on the table. Then, he hurried to put on his clothes and shoes. Not forgetting, he wore a thick coat to withstand the cold air as he exited the hotel.


Actually Raka lied if he was going on vacation in Korea. The fact is, Raka will follow her parents who are visiting her Aunt who does live in Korea.


His aunt Raka has been living in Korea for 30 years. His aunt Raka is the younger sister of his mother who also has Korean blood. So, the face that seems oriental, is actually not a descendant of Chinese. However, Raka is of Korean, Singaporean and Indonesian descent. Mixed descendants he found from his Grandpa and Grandmother, as well as his parents.


His mother is of Korean and Singaporean descent. He met his father who is native to Indonesia, who is also of Balinese and Sundanese descent. That's what makes Raka's face so handsome and so attractive.


Raka was already standing in front of his hotel lobby. Waiting for his family's car to pick him up. Because tonight, Raka will meet her parents at her Tantenya house.


Raka's parents deliberately told Raka to come. Raka's parents want to introduce Raka to a girl who is the niece of her Aunt husband. Of course it was without Raka's knowledge. Both her parents deliberately did not tell her, because they did not want Raka to refuse the match.


A few minutes later, a car appeared. An aide opened the door for Raka. Raka stepped into the car and went with the car to Gangnam area.


Aunt Raka is an important person there. She is married to a CEO who owns a successful cosmetics company.


The distance between the hotels where Raka stayed in Gangnam District, only approximately 30 minutes. Along the road leading to Gangnam District, Raka continued to look out the window. This is the third time he has come to this country. It was no stranger to him to the atmosphere in the city. Only, he still felt amazed when visiting the City. Especially the atmosphere at night that is so sparkling by the lights that look extraordinary.


30 Minutes later, Raka arrived at her aunt's house. Aunty Raka's house is very large and luxurious. Actually Raka has been offered to stay at her Aunt's house, but Raka still insists on staying at the hotel only. He felt he did not want to bother or had to submit to the culture that was applied in his Aunt's house.


An adjutant who was with Raka, opened the door for Raka and allowed the man to come down.


"Kamsahamnida," Raka told the aide in charge of picking her up, as she had just gotten out of the car.


The adjutant also lowered his head and invited Raka to enter his Aunt's house.


Raka stepped in and met her family in the dining room of the house.


"Wheel...!" His mother exclaimed when she saw Raka appear and join them.


Raka approached her mother and kissed the middle-aged woman's cheek. Followed by all family members who are there.


Raka's eyes were fixed on a girl and also a middle-aged couple. It seemed that the beautiful girl sitting beside them was their child and only this time Raka met the family.


Aunt Raka also introduced the girl and her parents to Raka. With pleasure, Raka welcomed the introduction. Without Raka knowing if his parents intend to marry Raka to the girl he just met.


Raka looked at her mother with a slightly strange look.


"Yes, then?" Ask Raka.


"Mom wants you to marry her,"


Raka who had just sat on the dining table chair was silent, she looked at her mother with a look of disbelief.


"Mom?"


Raka looked at the girl named Eun Areum.


"You're already thirty-two years old, it's already Raka's time." Firm Mother.


Raka gave a small smile, she did not expect herself to be stuck in this kind of situation.


"So, is this your plan to get me here?" Raka asked with a face that held back the annoyance.


Despite not understanding the conversation between Raka and her mother, Eun Areum and her parents also feel Raka does not like them. They also started to get nervous.


"Raka, they're important people here. You are lucky to know them. If you want to marry this girl, you will automatically be happy to have a wife as beautiful as her," said her Aunt Raka.


Raka let out her breath heavily. He looked at both his parents and his aunt's family. Then, his eyes were fixed on Eun Areum who did look very beautiful. However, the beauty of the girl is not comparable to the beauty of the Queen who looks more natural.


The queen? Once again the Queen dominates Raka's mind. Strictly, Raka shook her head.


"No, I refuse this matchmaking," Raka said. She moves on from her seat and leaves her family and Eun Areum's family. Everyone fell silent, looking at Raka's attitude. His mother got out of her chair and walked after Raka.


"Raka!" Call her when Raka wants to get in the car.


Raka stopped her steps and looked back. He saw his mother who was walking in tandem with him.


"You're not polite!" Said his mother as the middle-aged woman stopped her footsteps right in front of Raka.


"I'm not a kid, I don't do no good..! Let me see for myself who deserves to be with me." Raka Teas.


"But you don't know Areum!"


"No need, I don't like him" Raka said as she got into the car.


"Raka!"


Raka closed the car door and asked the driver to leave the house.


Raka's mother fell silent, she could only stare at the car.


Raka massaged his temple, he did not expect that he had come all the way to Korea, only to be introduced to a girl who he thought was not attractive at all.


His thoughts returned to Queen, a beautiful girl, who always looked elegant. Learned and has an amazingly sweet smile.


"She, I'm sure she's my soul mate." Her muttering.
