Raka looked at Queen's face, closing her eyes, after she kissed the girl's lips. Slowly, Queen opened her eyes and returned Raka's gaze. Their gazes intertwined, no words were spoken from the lips of the two men. Raka stroked Queen's hair and kissed the girl's forehead.

"I'm sorry, but I can't help this feeling. Thanks for everything,"

Queen lowered her gaze and moved from before Raka. He walked to the water heater and put mineral water into the teapot. Then, he turned on the water heater and poured sugar and tea into the glass.

Queen was silent in front of the water heater table, she bit her lips and stared at the large mirror in the hotel room. Then, he gently rubbed his own lips. Still feels soft Raka's lips are imprinted on her thin lips. Queen sighed and lowered her face.

"It's time I forgot everything that happened. But to trust a man is not easy for me" he murmured.

The sound of the water heater teapot shocked the pensive Queen. He hurried to turn off the heating kettle and poured the boiling water into a glass. Queen grabbed a spoon and stirred the tea she had deliberately made for Raka. After that, Queen brought the tea to Raka.

"Let's be warm" Queen said as she grabbed her bag from the couch.

"Where are you going?" Raka asked as she held Queen's hand and looked at the girl closely.

"Go back to my room" said Queen and she tried to remove Raka's hand from her arm.

"Queen..."

"Not to be discussed, nothing happened between the two of us" Queen said as she slowly let go of Raka's hand. Inevitably, Raka releases her hand from Queen's arm. He bowed lethargicly and let the Queen abandon herself.

Raka was pensive as she stared at the glass of tea made by Queen who was seen emitting hot steam. He grabbed the glass and held it to warm his frozen palm.

"My fault" he murmured.

...

Queen opened the door of her room, she looked at Tika who rushed over to her.

"Queen's.." Sapa Tika's.

Queen grabbed Tika's body and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry yes," whispered her.

Tika apologizes and they embrace each other. Tika realized herself was a bit harsh with Queen. That's all he did because he loved Queen very much and wanted Queen to live better by thinking about her future.

Tika is getting married in a few months, she wants Queen to be happy when she attends her wedding with Raka. Tika also wants to get good news, if Raka and Queen are finally married and happy. Actually, that was Tika's only hope.

"Tik, tomorrow, we're parting ways with Raka." Pinta Queen's.

Tika let go of her embrace and looked at Queen closely. He realized that Queen wanted this holiday there were no distractions other than the two of them. Tika nodded in agreement, inevitably, he had to obey what the Queen wanted at this time. He also did not want to be selfish, by trying to always lecture the Queen. She knew Queen was a stubborn woman who had too much of a perfectionist principle.

"Alright, we enjoy our vacation together, without anyone else," Tika insisted.

Queen smiled and hugged Tika tightly back.

Tonight they reconcile and return to the original plan. They wanted to enjoy some time together, before Tika really could not have this kind of time anymore with Queen.

...

Raka smiled remembering the incident last night, he kissed Queen's lips that felt warm. He also recalled how tender it was when Queen replied to his kiss, Queen****** Raka's lips gently.

Raka smiled to herself, she got up from her seat and looked out the window of her room. Then, as usual, he immediately warmed the water and made a cup of coffee.

For a moment he relaxed in front of the window while inhaling the aroma of coffee that made his morning so excited. Then, Raka blew the coffee and sipped it slowly.

"Hmmmm.. so delicious," he muttered.

Then, Raka put the coffee glass and went to rinse her body. I can't wait to meet the Queen. The girl he really likes.

A few minutes later, Raka came out of her bathroom with a pajama-shaped towel. Then, he grabbed his coffee glass and finished the rest of his coffee that had cooled down quickly. Because the air is so cold even though it has been using a room warmer.

Raka rushed to get dressed. He slightly dressed up by using Pomade for his straight hair to make it look a little neat. After that, he rushed out for breakfast at the hotel's restaurant.

A while later, Raka was already at the hotel restaurant. He deliberately chose a special table for 3 people. While waiting for Queen and Tika, Raka surfed on social media and read the incoming messages on her phone.

Raka read the message from her parents. He frowned and tried to ignore the message, then put his phone on the table. He glanced at his watch and then looked towards the entrance of the restaurant connected to the hotel lobby. Queen and Tika have not yet appeared.

Raka decides to contact Tika, to ask if they have breakfast or not.

The first call was not picked up by Tika. Raka did not give up, she again contacted Tika several times. Eventually, the girl received a call from him.

"Sir, aren't you guys having breakfast?"

"Hmmm.I'm sorry, I'm again on the road."

"On the road? Why not jump in anyway?" Raka asked who was surprised to hear Tika and Queen were already on the road.

"Hmmm Raka, we've been chek-out of the hotel. I'm sorry, like we were together until yesterday. You know what my reason is?" Tika spoke as if she was whispering to Raka.

Deggg...!

Raka was surprised to hear Tika's words. But, he tried to understand, he could not possibly force himself to go along with Tika and Queen who might still be uncomfortable with him. Especially after the incident they kissed in Raka's room.

"Ok, I understand," Raka said softly.

"See you later in Indonesia, Raka. Keep fighting, If you want to fight, nothing is impossible, if God allows. When you've fought, but can't too, it means the Queen isn't the best for you. May your days be happy, you may find the best of the good, Raka.."

Raka bit her lips, she tried to listen to every meaning of the word Tika said.

"Thank you Tik" he said briefly.

"Daddy..."

"Bye Mouse..."

The call ended with disappointment on Raka's face.
