365 Days Towards Halal

46# 328HMH (Boutique hostel)

As the days go by, Queen and Raka are getting closer, even if it's just communication via cell phone. They had not met for a week, due to the busyness of each of them.

Like this afternoon, Queen smiled to herself while getting a message from Raka. The man sent a picture of himself just waking up from sleep.

"Hi, I'm bad luck, at eleven I just woke up. Because I missed you all night,"

Attached Photo of Raka with disheveled hair and an adorable face.

Queen kept smiling looking at the photo of the man who always made her smile after they danced together that night.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

There was a knock from outside the Queen's room. Queen put her phone down and let the person standing behind the door of her room in.

"Come in," Queen said as she tidied up Hem's collar that was pulled back.

The door opened, and Antoni smiled at him.

Queen frowned and let out a long breath. He had no idea what Antoni meant by coming to his boutique this afternoon.

"Hi," Sapa Antoni as she moved closer to the Queen's table.

"What's wrong?" Ask the Queen who is still sitting in her chair.

"I miss you,"

Queen smiled wryly, then she got up from her seat and walked up to the front door of her room.

"Antoni, out.. We were done years ago." Firm Queen.

"Queen I beg you, I'd like to talk for a second."

"No, you don't deserve to be here. How would your wife feel if she knew you were here. He's my boutique customer..! What if he came here?" Queen asked with a trembling voice.

"Queen's.." Antoni approaches Queen, but Queen avoids him. It's like being lazy to come in contact with Antoni's skin.

Antoni was transfixed to see Queen's reaction. Then he closed the door of the room.

"Anton!" Jerky Queen. For the first time Queen snapped at someone in her life. All this time the girl always spoke a polite and gentle word. But not this time. Queen was panicking.

There were many things he thought. First, she is very scared on the stamp as a seductress. Past trauma, as a child born out of marriage, the result of his Mother's relationship with a married official, makes Queen very afraid of being stamped as the same woman as her mother when she was young.

"Queen," Antoni hugged Queen tightly. The girl thrashed and pushed Antoni with all her strength. Until Antoni hit the table in front of the sofa.

Antoni was flabbergasted at the Queen's rude attitude.

"Where was my old Queen?" Her speech.

"Your old queen?" Queen asked as she shook her head, she could not believe the mess Antoni had created this afternoon.

"Queen, I know you still love me. I was forced to marry Tasya Queen... I just want to be with my Mom and Dad. But my love for you has never gone out of my heart. I'm tormented marrying Tasya. I don't love her Queen!"

"Your old queen is long dead, Antoni..! Enough, end this drama of yours," said Queen, and she opened the door to her room.

Just as she opened the door of her room, Queen saw Tasya standing in front of her room with wet eyes.

"Ta-Tasya?" Suddenly Queen felt bad for the woman. He was afraid Tasya thought he had done anything to Antoni.

Tasya looked at Queen and then at Antoni.

"What are you doing here, Mom?" tasya asked as he stepped inside.

Antoni sighed and returned Tasya's gaze.

"I still love him, I want to come back with him!" Firm Antoni.

Queen was flabbergasted, she did not expect Antoni to say such a painful thing to Tasya.

"Tasya...." Queen tries to override Antoni's remarks.

Tasya raised her hand and looked at Queen with a cold gaze. Signs he doesn't want to hear anything from the Queen.

"I just want to hear what my husband wants" Tasya said, then he looked closely at Antoni.

"What did you say to the Queen?" Ask Tasya calmly.

"Yes, I married you just because of my parents and you know that. The heart cannot be forced. I love Queen and have loved her for a long time. Now, what my parents wanted has been accomplished. Now am I not free to pursue my happiness?" Ask Antoni.

Tears flooded Tasya's cheeks. The woman kept staring at Antoni.

Platkkkk...!

Antoni was shocked when Tasya slapped his cheek hard. All this time, the gentle woman was very, very submissive and never rude in the slightest. However, this time Tasya was like a different woman in Antoni's eyes.

"You think the Queen will accept you? You think, after you get rid of me and your son, the Queen will come back with you? Be aware, men do not know in profit, I treat you in joy and sorrow. I conceived and gave birth to your flesh and blood. I stand strong only for the love of you. Then, you hope with the girl who already wants to vomit to see you. Where's your brain?"

Antoni rounded his eyes, he did not believe the words spoken from the lips of the obedient woman.

While the Queen who heard Tasya's words, felt Tasya was a good person who did not want to blame him. It seems that Tasya knew all along, if Queen would not want to return with Antoni. So Queen did not feel the need to defend herself in front of Tasya. The woman was a learned and smart woman, Queen also felt salute and also pity to Tasya.

"Tasya. you're so rude."

"Rude? Even so I have no price in your eyes Antoni!!!!!!!!"

"It's been a long time that I've been slapping you, beating you up and even killing you. You're a weak man who doesn't have his brains!"

"You!" Antoni raised his hand and was about to slap Tasya's cheek.

"Anton!" Queen approaches Antoni and encourages the man to move away from Tasya.

Tasya looked at Queen with tears. She hugged Queen tightly and cried in Queen's arms.

Unknowingly, tears also melted down Queen's cheeks. Given how tormented he was and Tasya was. How hard it is to be a woman who is abandoned and who is not considered to be his love.

Antoni sighed heavily, then he stepped closer to Queen and Tasya.

"Queenis..."

"Go.."

"Queen, i.."

"Go..!" Shouting Queen.

All the Queen's employees were gathered at the door of Queen's room. They were trying to figure out what kind of commotion was in their Boss' room.

Antoni looked at Queen with reddened eyes. He moved out of the Queen's room with a lethargic face.

When Antoni opened the door, the Queen employees dispersed. With a face that held shame, Antoni left the boutique owned by Queen.

In that room were Queen and Tasya. Two hearts hurt by the same man. Two hearts who continue to miss the same man. Two hearts that are not in love.
