BECAUSE OF YOU, MY DESTINY.

The Queen in My Heart

Riana had prepared herself and was beautiful according to Maya's orders. His heart suddenly deg degan remember the face of Alvin who often stopped by in his dreams.

He kept pacing around in the room occasionally biting on the lips as a result of nervousness that engulfed the entire soul.

"Is this the answer to every dream I have? from that dream a Vino said that my heart would thump when close to the person I was waiting for. Now I can feel the beating when I see Mr. Alvin." Riana muttered in her nervousness.

Riana raised her palms, her face looked up and prayed. "O Allah, if this is the answer please ease all his affairs." Then he rubbed the palm on her beautiful face.

"Assalamualaikum," said Alvin when he arrived in front of Mr. Yanto's house.

"Getishalight." Answer a woman from inside the house. "Eh, son Alvin! Holy jeez! the more handsome you are," said Ani.

Alvin shines with Ani. "Aunty can do it, does the Riananya exist?" Alvin just asked Riana whereabouts.

"So, is there any need with him? auntie call me."

"Hmmm actually I was told Mama to pick Riana up for dinner with us. We met at the CITARASA BAKERY store." The sturdy-looking young man just spoke at his goal.

"Oohhh wants dinner anyway. Yes, you go in first wait inside! Auntie wants to call Riana first." Ani lets Alvin in and tells Riana to wait in the living room.

Alvinpun followed Ani into the house and sat in a chair. As with Riana, Alvin's heart also felt a heartbeat that did not end when he wanted to meet the idol who had long in the future.

"Teh, can Mama come in?" Ani lowered her head into the child's room.

"So, Mah." It turned out that Riana was still nervous, the young widow was sitting on the bedside.

Ani approached her and sat down near Riana. "In front there is Alvin who wants to pick you up, samperin gih! Maya also called Mama and you asked permission to invite you to dinner at their home.

"Sir Alvin's up ahead?" Riana was getting nervous.

"Yes, let's go samperin! Kasian if you have to wait long."

And by saying Bismillah, Riana approached Alvin with Ani.

"You're so pretty, Ri. I'm up to pangling to see your change." Alvin said sincerely while driving the car.

Riana suddenly blushed. "Thank you, sir."

"Kok still call sir? We are no longer teachers and students." Alvin began to approach Riana with words. This time he will be getting closer to the idol.

"Then what should I call you?" riana asked, frowning.

"Anything from sir and AA!"

"Later think about it."

"Assalamualaikum" said the two after reaching Maya's former home.

"Getishalight." The people inside answered their greetings.

Maya who was preparing the dish was smiling kindly to see her former candidate. "Finally, the future ghost came too."

Maya pulls up the chair near her seat and Alvin already wants to sit down but is prevented. "What do you want?" ask Maya.

"You sit down, Mah." Alvin replied half-squat preparing to sit down.

Stella and Farhan had already boasted a smile seeing Alvin's shock.

"Well, this is the place I used to sit!" Reply Alvin is still half-sitting position.

"The shop you moved his seat. The chunky! Kasian would-be mama's daughter-in-law stood up from earlier." Maya kekeh wants Riana to sit close to him.

Alvin hissed, he relented and sat down near Chika. Alvin and Riana face each other.

"Come, baby. Please sit down." Maya.

"Thank you, Mah. I feel bad."

"Not to be confused! Think of it as your own home because soon you will also be part of this family," Maya said.

Riana did not answer, she just smiled hearing Maya's words.

Even if they had dinner together, no one dared to make a sound. When they eat only the clang of a spoon and a plate that sounds.

"Oh, yes. When are you planning on getting married again?" ask Maya after dinner.

Everyone was sitting in the living room watching one of the shows in his friend the flying fish.

Riana thought for a moment. "If there is a soul mate and still someone wants to be with me, as soon as possible, Mah." Riana's face turns sad and Maya understands Riana's sadness in what way.

"There must be, you are beautiful, young, and already working. There must be someone who wants to be with you," said Stella glanced at Alvin who was watching tv and pretended not to hear.

"Where would a widow like me, Ka. If it is so hard to find it. They are looking for perfection in everything. Must be beautiful,***, wealthy, and not a widow. Here the widow is in one eye. For them widows don't have nothing to do with bachelors or wealthy widows."

"That's their assumption that doesn't know the current trend" Stella replied.

"Unfortunately clothes are trending" said Maya.

"Mom don't get me wrong, now it's a widow. Treasure, throne, widow. In the city there are many who are after young widows rather than young virgins." Farhan said.

"Why can it be like that? why do you not know the current trends, huh? and why did they choose young widows over virgins?" asked Maya curious because indeed in her city is crowded with the words treasure, throne, widow.

"Virgin is charming, but widows are more seductive because they are experienced." Alvin chuckle, but his eyes still pokus see the tv while chewing the rest of Lebaran yesterday.

"Wooow, who likes widows, certainly defends." Farhan teases.

Riana herself was silent, in her little heart there was a dislike of hearing Alvin like someone. She put her face down squeezing the dress she was wearing.

"Vin, it's night. You anterin Riana go home!" maya's orders when she saw the clock were 21:30

"Good, Mah." Alvin answered without a refusal.

And Rianapun say goodbye to Maya and her brother Alvin.

On the way, Riana still quietly did not speak. Alvin confused himself seeing the behavior of the girl beside him.

"Why are you quiet? are you sick?" Alvin suddenly held Riana's forehead to ensure a fever or not.

Riana was surprised, she kept her head away. "I'm fine. I just sleepy to go to sleep."

"Oh sleepy, sluggish pantesan."

And they arrived in front of Mr. Yanto's house. Before Riana came out, Alvin said something. He looked towards Riana.

"Ri, the person I like is you. To this day you are still the queen of my heart. The widow I like is you."

Instantly Riana's face met red, and she was immediately out afraid Alvin saw his face and heard the beating of his heart.

Alvin smiled as he saw Riana's red face.
