The atmosphere in the Queen's house was so crowded. Everyone was busy preparing for everything Kimmy would bring to the house. Yes, today Athar, his sister Queen is getting engaged. They're going to Kimmy's house.

Queen was still pensive on the edge of her bed. Her face was beautiful, already polished make-up. Her beautiful body, already wrapped in capuchino-colored kebaya that is uniform with Mother and her other family.

Now, Athar has got Kimmy's love. So they both intend to immediately formalize their relationship. While Queen? He's still alone.

Queen sighed, remembering the words of one of her family who asked why she was still at home, while her sister would get engaged and get married in a few months.

Actually, that question was very painful for Queen. He just tried to respond with a smile.

Queen is 30 years old. That age includes the age that is no longer young for women. Actually understanding is called not young anymore, because women will conceive children. And getting married in your 30s makes everyone assume that a woman's fertile years are over. In fact, there are still many women who are pregnant in their 40s.

But, the assumption of society is so encouraged gusup. So that women are willing to marry at the age of 25 years and under.

"Qc...! They're too noisy! Aunt Nia, who conceived Kimmy at the age of 33, gave birth at the age of 34. Where is the wrong? It is precisely Aunt Nia not long later pregnant Abian. It was also at the age of 37. Ah... You guys are too lazy with me," he complained.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Queen's.." Call Mother from behind the Queen's room door.

"Yes Bun.." Queen also moved from her seat and rushed to open the door of her room for Mother.

Mother looked at Queen's face when she saw Queen who had just opened the door of her room.

"Are you ready?"

"It's Bun."

"Let's go, soon the show will start. Mother is afraid the streets will just get stuck. Not good with the Kimmy family."

Queen nodded slowly, she took her handbag on the dresser and rushed out of her room.

"Queen's.." Call Mother while looking at Queen carefully.

"Yes Bun?" Queen stopped her steps and returned Mother's gaze.

Mother sighed and moved closer to Queen. Then, Mother rubbed the Queen's cheeks gently and hugged the eldest daughter.

Queen was silent, then she returned the embrace of Mother with doubt.

"Why Bun?"

"Queen, do you believe in God's plan?"

"I-iya Bun, why Bun?"

"What's wrong," Mother let go of her embrace and looked carefully at the two Queen's eyes.

"Mother is proud of you, because Mother has given birth to a great woman."

The queen swallowed her saliva. He knows the word contained in the words of his mother.

"Thank you, Bun.."

Mother nodded and smiled at the Queen.

"Let's go.." Mother said as she led Queen out of her room.

...

Athar and Kimmy's engagement went well, although they were briefly caught up by the capital's congested roads.

The bustling atmosphere and frenzied excitement made the Queen feel dizzy. Including the question of many brothers who continue to question when he will get married. Brother Kimmy is also a sister to Queen. Because they still have blood ties.

Queen sat on the park bench behind Kimmy's house, enjoying a glass of iced tea in the afternoon that the air was so hot. Coupled with the questions that made Queen's heart uncomfortable, the air was getting hotter.

Queen stared at the ornamental fish kept in a small pond in the park. The fish that had orange, black and white scales swam to and fro. It was as if the fish felt the Queen's unease.

"Hey fish, when will I get married?" He asked with eyes that kept watching the fish.

"Relax Queen, you're getting married next year" Queen answered her own questions and sounded like a fish that could talk to the fairy tales she had seen when she was a child.

"Really fish?" Ask the Queen again.

"Yes," And he again answered his own question.

"Who's the guy?" Queen asked as if she was communicating with a fish and looked curious.

"Just like a good person, of course" said the voice that came from behind Queen.

The queen looked over and was embarrassed. He was really embarrassed because Athar knew that he was talking to the fish swimming in the pond.

"Athar's..." Said Queen with a red hue on her cheek.

Athar sat down beside Queen and looked at her brother.

"Thankfully Athar saw, if other people, he would be afraid of misunderstanding" Athar said with a smile.

Queen gave her smile, then she lowered her face.

"Sister, be a happy person huh.." Athar said with a face that looked serious.

"Sister, don't listen to them. It is better to choose the right one than to rush into marriage. But get the wrong people. If you're still alone at this time, it's a sign that God is preparing the right person for you."

Queen smiled, and she rubbed Athar's cheek gently.

"Sister is an adult now. Brother is proud of Athar" Queen said.

"Athar is also proud of her brother. Athar is so grateful to have a brother in Athar's life." Said Athar with the end of the sound choked.

Tears rose in Athar and Queen's eyes. They also hugged each other. There was a sense of weight, a sense of haru, pleasure, and so forth when Queen hugged her only sister.

"Sister I'm very good with Athar."

"Sama, Athar also loves big brother very much" Whispered Athar.

...

Drett... Dreeett..!

Raka who almost fell asleep at her desk was shocked when she heard the ringing sound of her cell phone. He massaged his forehead for a while, then he grabbed his phone.

Raka stared at the screen of her phone, her face turned enthusiastic immediately. He immediately raised the call.

"Yes hello..!" Greet her excitedly.

"Halo boss, Queen hotel will be inaugurated the day after tomorrow. According to information, the owner of the hotel and some officials will attend the event and we also get an invitation from the Queen hotel." Speak from the end there.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes Boss, his invitation is already in the hands of Boss' secretary. Has Boss accepted it?" Ask the Raka man.

"Not yet, I don't know. Maybe my secretary immediately put together a schedule without informing me beforehand. You see, I have been busy for a few days" said Raka.

"Oh well Boss, I've confirmed once again, if Boss is included in the invitation list from the Queen hotel."

"Ok, well, thank you," Raka said as she ended the phone call from her man.

Then, he moved out of his room and rushed to see his secretary.

"Mirna," Call Raka when she's at her secretary's desk preening with her red lipstick.

"Gosh..!" Mirna was shocked and almost dropped her brandy lipstick.

"Ah. yes sir..." Follow her while smiling awkwardly.

"Say we have an invitation from the Queen hotel. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Oh, that's..it's just a three-star hotel, right, sir? So I decided to send a bouquet of flowers only. You see the schedule of the event clashes with other important events sir," explained Mirna.

Raka's face began to turn red, he felt annoyed with Mirna who did not ask him first. While he had to work hard to meet the Queen, and it turns out he got an invitation from Queen. That opportunity will not be repeated.

"This is the invitation..!" Raka.

Mirna also looks nervous, she tries to find an invitation sent by Queen's hotel management.

"Well, where did I put it.." Mirna also looked panicked.

"You can work, right? Invitation time you don't know where to put it?" Said Raka who looked panicked.

"Yes sir I forgot."

"Find out! I don't want to know! If I don't see you, I'll fire you!" Said Raka who looked very upset.

"L-yes Sir..." Mirna said nervously.

Then, Mirna glanced at the trash can and saw an invitation with a pink cover. Mirna then grabbed the invitation and smiled.

"Sir...!" Call Mirna as she moves from her seat and overtakes Raka who is about to re-enter her room.

"This sir, I met his invitation in the trash," Mirna said with a smile.

Raka sighed and looked at Mirna furiously.

"Mir, next time, don't play throw it away. Ask me first. You gotit?" Ask Raka.

"Yes sir" said Mirna with a sweet smile.

"Mir, if I want to, I fire you now. But, since you got this invitation, even from the trash, I forgive you. Next, if you're careless, you clean up your stuff.."

"I-i-iya Sir..." Mirna said with a guilty face.

Raka sighed and returned to her room.

With an expanding smile, he opened the pink invitation cover and read the contents of the invitation.

Then, his view also, fell on the full name of Queen along with the title ever achieved by the girl. Raka rubbed the Queen's name gently on the invitation paper.

"I won't let you go, I promise. The day after tomorrow, we meet.. I'll make sure you fall in love with me." He muttered while smiling expectantly.
