365 Days Towards Halal

38# Tasnim

"Johyun achimieyo...."

"Gosh..!" Queen was shocked when she saw Tasya sitting on the guest sofa in her boutique room.

"Sorry surprise," Tasya said with a sweet smile to Queen.

"Ah, that's okay," said Queen who returned Tasya's friendly smile in doubt.

"I heard it from Korea, so I said hello to you in Korean" Tasya said as he extended his hand.

Queen looked at Tasya carefully, then she tried to smile back and act normal. Then, he welcomed Tasya's hand and shook it tightly.

"I've been looking for a few days. Unfortunately, said the official, mbak was going to Korea. But today I got information from Mbak employees, if today Ma'am going to the boutique. So, I came and waited for Mommy here." Tasya tried to explain why she was in the Queen's room at the time.

"Oh so," Queen nodded her head in understanding and put her handbag on her desk.

"Can I help you?" Queen asked, he sat in front of Tasya who looked very sweet by using an ivory white blouse and a tutu skirt that reached the calf of the woman.

"Ah, here. Because I was very impressed with the choice of clothes yesterday from Ma'am, so I decided to ask help Ma'am to choose me a dinner dress, to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband."

Queen looked at Tasya who looked relaxed.

"Did she know that I was her husband's ex-fiancee?" Inner Queen.

"How's Mbak?"

The Queen's daydream was broken, she tried to smile and nodded slowly.

Tasya smiled with satisfaction, then he got up from his seat and grabbed his handbag that was on the table.

"Thank you Ma'am, I want to perform amazingly in front of my husband. I want to impress him and we can have a beautiful night" Tasya said.

Queen returned Tasya's smile and led the woman to a collection of dinner dresses.

"Why should I ever choose a dress for her? What can he do alone?" Inner Queen while choosing a dress that fits Tasya.

"How is this?" Queen pulled a beautiful dress, beige and decorated with sequins and pearls around her chest.

Tasya looked at the dress and smiled with satisfaction.

"Mbak really understands the tastes of customers huh. I really admire Ma'am" Tasya said as she grabbed the dress from Queen's hand.

"Thank you, please try" Queen said.

"Well," Tasya followed the steps of Queen's employees who drove him to the dressing room. The Queen breathed heavily. Then, she fell silent to the side of the collection of evening dresses while waiting for Tasya to try on her collection dresses.

A few minutes later, Tasya appears and shows her to Queen.

"How's Mbak?"

"It's so pretty" said Queen with a slightly awkward face.

"thank you. I guess, I'll just take this dress,"

"Okay" said Queen. Then, he went to the cashier and told his employees to wrap and give receipts to Tasya.

Tasya changed her clothes, while Queen returned to her room.

In her room, Queen took a glass of mineral water and drank it until it was gone. There was jealousy towards Tasya.

Tasya looks so happy to celebrate her wedding anniversary with Antoni.

"That should be the date of my and Antoni's wedding" Inner Queen. His chest felt tight, so he would cry considering how devastated he was when he parted with Antoni.

Tok...! Tok...! Tok...!

Queen was again surprised when she heard a knock from outside her room. He hurriedly rubbed his eyes, which almost dropped tears. Then he opened the door of his room.

"Hi," Sapa Queen as she saw Tasya standing in front of the door of her room.

"I'm sorry I went back to my room for a drink" he said.

"Ah so, good." Queen said as she walked with Tasya who rushed to get out of her boutique.

"Thank you once again Ma'am" Tasya said as he peeked at Queen's cheek, as if they were familiar.

Queen was silent, he was not a fool. It is impossible for a woman who is only a customer and has only twice bought her collection to be so friendly.

Queen realizes that Tasya understands who she is.

Queen tried to smile and take Tasya off until she got into Antoni's car, which was used by Tasya.

"What do you mean, you're happy with Antoni." Queen muttered when Tasya's car had just left her boutique.

Queen, too, back to her room.

...

Tasya, who just got into her car, put a package containing the evening dress she had just bought from Queen's boutique in the passenger seat, right next to her. Then, he looked at Queen who was still standing in front of the boutique while staring at her.

Then, she turned on her car engine and passed from the boutique owned by the girl who had been her husband's fiance.

Yes, it turns out that Tasya knows Queen is Antoni's former fiancee, her husband.

Five years ago...

Tasya sat on the edge of the bed, he looked at Antoni who was opening his arms. It's the wedding night for both of them. With her heart pounding, Tasya was already preparing to receive a touch from Antoni.

However, his delusion about the first night is so exciting, only a mere delusion.

He sees Antoni moving out of their bridal room at the five-star hotel.

"Mas..where are you going?" Tasya asked as she approached Antoni who was at the door and prepared to leave the room.

Antoni turned his head towards her and looked at her with a look of hate.

"It's none of your business,"

Tasya was surprised when he heard the answer from the man who had just promised to raise himself as well as possible.

"meaning?" Ask Tasya innocently.

Antoni went to Tasya. Then, he looked at Tasya's two eyes that were starting to turn red, holding back tears.

"Never expect anything from me. You are my wife, but I do not love you" Antoni said.

Tasya's chest felt pierced with pain. Tears flowed without being able to prevent it. He stared blankly without a word as he watched Antoni walk out of their bridal room. He was alone in that hotel room. I don't know where Antoni went and I don't know why Antoni hated their marriage so much. Didn't Antoni himself agree with this matchmaking?

Tasya sat on the floor of the room, crying until the makeup on his face was broken. That night was like a night of curse to him.

Until the morning, Antoni did not return. The man disappeared and returned after dawn. Without a word, Antoni brought his belongings and returned home with Tasya.

At home, Antoni's family greeted them happily. A smile pretending to be happy also adorns Tasya's lips. Antoni kept being cold to himself.

One night, Tasya awakens when she hears Antoni deliriously calling out a name.

"Queen.. don't leave me, baby..! I love you so much. Back Queen... I'll leave my wife, I want to live with you!"

Tears wet Tasya's cheeks.

"So, the girl's name is Queen?" Her muttering.

A few days ago, accidentally, Tasya found a box in Antoni's room. There, stacked pictures of Antoni with a girl.

It looks like the girl is wearing a white-gray uniform. Until the girl wears her graduation toga at a top university. He also saw a picture of Antoni's engagement to the girl. A beautiful girl with a face that Tasya will never forget.

How could? The girl appeared to disturb Tasya's days and nights. Haunting herself terrorizes her nights. It was as if the girl would come someday, to take Antoni back from his arms.

..

"No..! I won't let it!" Screeched Tasya while hitting his wheel.
