Before the Fajr adhan roared, Queen had finished her bath and went down for breakfast. Today, he is busy with his schedule and vacation plans.

First, Queen had to go to Bandung early in the morning. To attend Tika's wedding. Although Queen had refused to be a Bridesmaids at the wedding of her best friend, but she still promised to come to see Tika's wedding.

"Why should you stay in Bandung anyway..not all of you in the United States?" Queen asked with a sullen face upon receiving an invitation from Tika.

"Yeeee.... My father is Bandung. How the hell are you. I celebrate there." Tika frowned.

"Why don't you want to be my Bridesmaids? He said you were my best friend!" Connect Tika still with a face that looks annoyed.

"Sir, genuine deh, I also take care of my sister's wedding. Keep Hotel, keep Boutique, keepss....."

"Raka?" Tika Temptation while smiling wryly.

Queen smiled slightly and pinched Tika's cheek.

"Bad you!"

"Partially humans are busy. Argh..."

"But I promise to come. Erparr..."

"Really?"

"Yeahaaaa...."

"Thank you Queen," Tika hugged Queen with a happy face.

Queen smiled to herself as she recalled her conversation with Tika. Not felt, Tika will let go of her free time this morning. A friend who always accompanies her anywhere. Including expulsion abroad.

Mother who had just come out of her room, looked at Queen who was sitting alone eating a sandwich and a glass of milk in the dining room.

Mother rushed to Queen.

"Mother's child, not yet at dawn, has eaten."

"Eh, Bun, want Queen to make you a sandwich?" Ask Queen while smiling at Mother.

"Son, just later. Mother wants to take a shower first. Are you tumben having breakfast?"

"Kan Queen is going to Bandung Bun..."

"Hand?"

Queen nodded quickly as she devoured the last piece of her sandwich.

"Well?" Ask Mother with a probing face.

"Well, Tika got married this morning Bun. You are invited too."

"Astaghfirullah..! Yes Mother forgot! Lah, don't you want to go to the Maldives?"

"Yes, but I'll leave once a night. Ten o'clock at night" said Queen.

"Ah. yes... Yes, Mother woke Dad first, tell Dad to be ready. We go together, yeah. You were atantar Pak Ucup, right? Or drive yourself?"

"It was going to drive itself so fast. If Mr. Ucup brought a car, duhhh..." Complain Queen.

Mother gave her smile and sat down next to Queen.

"His name is also old, he has worked from you as a child. Wants Mother to house also pity. So, Mommy just wait until she wants to retire by herself."

"It's not best to leave Bun alone, but we help every month. Poor Bun, danger is also if Mr. Ucup drives. His eyes were also unclear,"

Mother was silent considering the Queen's proposal.

"Well, he actually wants to retire. However, he is confused for his life in front of Bun. Who else would help, if not us? What's more he's honest and loyal to our family Bun,"

Mother sighed and nodded in agreement with Queen's proposal.

"Yes, later Mommy will talk to Mr. Ucup. Mommy wakes Dad up first, keep getting ready. You'll drive later."

"Good Bun," Queen said with a sweet smile to Mother.

Mother also went to her room again, to wake Dad who was still sound asleep. As for Queen, draining her milk and rushing to wash the dishes and glasses she had just put on, she rushed back to her room.

Queen and Athar rush down and join Father and Mother in Mushalla. As usual, Dad became a priest and they became his makmum.

Every morning, they pray for the best for the universe, their families and their loved ones. This supposed routine they began when Mother officially became the wife of Andra's father. Andra's father, who was well-educated by his mother, called Oma by Queen and Athar, required his son and wife to follow the mandatory rules of the house. That is, praying.

Initially heavy for Queen and Athar, the routine was long-time fun for them and their families. The perfect father figure is very attached to Andra's father who is able to lead his family in a better direction.

After praying together, they also get ready to go to Bandung, except Athar who has plans with his future wife, Kimmy.

Right at 7 am, Queen, Father and Mother also leave for Bandung.

...

At 10 am, Queen, Mother and Father have arrived in Bandung. They head straight to the building where the wedding of Tika and her future husband is held. Arriving there, Tika looks very happy with the presence of Queen and her parents.

Tika approached the Queen and hugged the Queen tightly.

"Alhamdulillah! You're finally here, thank you Queen!" Excited Tika while jumping for joy.

"Jeez. You put on a kebaya tik.. It's the same crown that her konde dislodged ntar...!" Excited Queen who was worried that Tika's makeup was falling apart because Tika was too excited to welcome her presence.

"Alah, bodo very, stay in the fix!"

"Hello Om, Auntie, thank you for coming.." Tika greeted Father and Mother while peeling the backs of the hands of the two Queen parents who she had considered as her own biological parents.

"Congratulations Tika," Mother said while hugging Tika with a haru and Happy feeling. Of course, Mommy had felt sad, because Tika was married and Queen was still alone. But, Mother hurriedly threw out that feeling. He did not want Queen to read his feelings and instead made his daughter feel inferior and sad.

"Thank you Auntie.." Tika with a happy face.

The Sundanese wedding looks magnificent. Although Tika is a child of a simple family, but he is quite successful in his career. Likewise with her husband who turned out to be a souvenir shop entrepreneur typical of Bandung and also a fashion entrepreneur in the City.

Queen is also happy with all that Tika achieved. She was so happy that she was going to cry at the wedding. Remembering Tika who always complained about her life. But now, Tika can be happy to get whatever she ever aspired to.

Tika approached the Queen who was eating at the VIP guest table. With him, there was a handsome man, about 30 years old.

"Queen, man,"

Queen turned her head and looked at Tika, she also glanced at the handsome man standing beside Tika.

"Did you know, this is my sister-in-law, her name is Son" Tika said excitedly.

Queen breathed heavily. Then, he moved from his seat and welcomed the helping hand of the Son, sister-in-law of Tika.

"Queen, man,"

"Son."

They also get acquainted. The son looked at the Queen with an enchanted face. Until he did not let go of his hand grip from the Queen's hand.

"Sorry," the Queen rebuked the Son and tried to remove his hand from the man's grasp.

While Tika seemed to smile amusedly at the moment.

"Ah, sorry," The son bowed and apologized to the Queen.

"And these are both Queen's parents" Tika said again.

Father and Mother also met the Son who looks like a good man. Mother and Father seemed happy to meet the man. The Queen sat back in her chair.

"He asked for your Queen's acquaintance. He said you were beautiful. He is single and you are also single. I know how to know a soul mate." Whisper Tika while smiling satisfied.

Queen glanced at her best friend and smiled wryly while shaking her head.

"Come, chat... I went back to the guarantee again, Bun, Dad," Tika went back to the guarantee where her husband was waiting for Tika with the invited guests.

"May I sit here?" Ask the Son with a face that looks a little awkward.

"Please" said Father, smiling and extending his hand toward the empty seat beside Queen.

"Thank you, sir" said the Son, smiling graciously.

Queen continued her meal without even glancing at the man who seemed interested in her.

"What the hell is Tika. Basic Matchmaker who never succeeded!" Queen complained while squinting her two eyes. He felt uneasy because the man he had just known a few minutes ago was sitting next to him.
