FIND YOU In MY MEMORIES
82. Entertains

“You are really jolly Queen Lee, until you easily smile like that in front of a grieving person.” Madame Salma's soft-spoken Queen Lee.

“I'm sorry.” The Queen sat right next to Lady Salma and ignored the insinuations directed at her. “I thought I wanted to put on a sad face on grandma, but ... it will only further depress you emotionally. So I should smile, who knows my smile can be contagious.” The joint again, made Madame Salma's shoulders shudder at hearing it.

“Where can I smile in these circumstances.” Madam Salma muttered, almost inaudible and the Queen grabbed Madam Salma's hand. Gently stroked her and gave her support through her touch.

“Certainly can.” Firm Queen. Made Madame Salma look at him seriously. “Grandmother should smile, so that your heart can be strong. Doesn't a mother's heart have to be strong for the sake of her children?! Remember, Grandma still has a child who is fighting to stay alive in the hospital. So, Grandma has to be strong for the sake of your child and of course for your grandchildren as well. They are happy to see grandma smiling, and sad to see grandma constantly grieving like this.” Her impression, made Madame Salma look at her seriously.

“But I'm grieving, so it's only natural that I now feel sad Queen. I lost two children, a son-in-law and even a grandson. Now I'm losing a son-in-law again.” Mrs Salma said seriously.

“I know.” Queen patted the back of the hand that had wrinkled it. “It's only natural to be sad about losing someone in your life. But that does not mean having to constantly grieve, mourn even to the point of ignoring the people around who are still living with Grandma.” Those words instantly made Madam Salma's eyes round.

“Grandmother must rise from the slump that continues to shackle that feeling. Not good, if it continues like that. Grandma makes some people near you feel insignificant.” Queen said, pulling her hand back.

“Although it is true that the people who left are so meaningful people, at least appreciate the feelings of those who are still around Grandma now. They are still your family. They need your warm smile.” Clearly Queen, turned her face away and looked at someone who was hiding behind a wall.

Madame Salma took a deep breath, and wiped her slightly wet eye sludge. He realized, all this time he only focused on the people who left him and ignored some people who were still alive around him.

In addition, he also realized how naive he felt the most hurt here. Guilt slowly grew in his heart, on Sabi who always tried to make him laugh and on Andi Syafar and Madam Sura who continued to take good care of him. They even did not display family photos because there were several people in the family photo who had died.

They also made a rule not to talk about or mention the name of the person who has died, just to keep the feelings of Mrs Salma who continues to mourn.

“Yes God ... Why am I so naive and selfish?!” Mrs Salma's voice - trembled, aware of her wrong attitude all along.

“Have ... don't think about it now. Now Grandma must rise and stop lamenting the fate of those who have gone.” Said the Queen pacifying Madame Salma with her embrace on the cross woman's shoulder.

“Thank you Queen Lee .. thank you for comforting me and also awakening this naive and selfish parent.”

The Queen simply laughed at hearing it and increasingly clasped tightly onto the old woman's shoulders.

After a moment of calming Madam Salma, she finally bailed down. Madame Salma let go of him with a sincere smile engraved on her wrinkled face.

Queen replied with her best smile, then turned around, focusing on seeing the wall that had been the center of her attention. I don't know who's behind that wall, but the guy behind that wall pissed him off. Because he kept eavesdropping and made him unable to ask the figure of the little boy in the photo with Mrs Salma.

A girl with long black hair, as well as familiar black and white office clothes. Making the eyes of Queen who saw the figure behind the wall, not surprised. His face looks relaxed because he realizes that the girl is Zulaikha, a private secretary of Andi Sabiru.

“Oh .. so another task of a private secretary is eavesdropping?!” The smiling Queen smirked towards Zulaikha who was surprised by his presence.

Zulaikha's eyes glared slightly and misbehaved after being spotted by Queen. She thought, Queen would not be aware of its existence. But apparently, he was wrong. Queen Lee was extremely observant beyond her expectations.

“Do not think that I am too observant because I realize your presence. But, blame yourself for being too naive for thinking you won't be known for eavesdropping.” Queen Lee held her hand in front of her chest.

“Sorry Miss, it looks like you misunderstood.” From the many reasons he could say, but only that word was smoothly thrown from the mouth of Zulaikha who was struggling to face the Queen.

The Queen laughed at hearing that, and provoked the attention of Madame Salma who was in the room.

“You stupid liar!” Caci Queen started to look at Zulaikha with a judgmental look. “Say, tell me what do you mean by peeling me with Mrs Salma? Who told you to? Say!” Read the Queen with a tone of voice that began to rise and sharp.

If that happens, then his identity as a spy Zayn Adijaya will be revealed. His efforts to find out the whereabouts of his sister would be in vain. He was truly regretting his actions now and he also felt awry from being in a situation that went awry.

What am I supposed to say?!

Oh my God, I can't be fired just for eavesdropping. I need this job.

Zulaikha had nothing else but to pull Queen Lee away from the room. His hand immediately pulled Queen Lee's hand forcibly, until Queen was drawn away from the door of the room.

“Hey fucking secretary, what are you doing huh?! Release!!!”

As much as possible the Queen stopped Zulaikha's actions which continued to forcefully withdraw her. His feet stopped moving and as much as possible focused all his weight on his feet. To make Zulaikha a little overwhelmed pulled him and decided to stop, while occasionally managing his overwhelmed breath.

Queen grinned, seeing the opportunity when Zulaikha was careless to handle it. His hand that was gripped by Zulaikha was turned until Zulaikha's hand was also twisted, making Zulaikha complain and reflexively release the grip of his hand on Queen's arm.

Queen Lee's other hand quickly grabbed Zulaikha's hand before Zulaikha completely retracted it, then clutching Zulaikha's hand twice as strong as he had previously done.

Aakhm ....

“Tell me! What do you mean eavesdropping on my conversation with Mrs Salma?! Didn't you already know, that eavesdropping on employers is not good!” The Queen clasped Zulaikha's hand even more firmly, making the girl hissing even more to endure the pain.

“You misunderstood miss.”

“Oh yes?! If I misunderstood, then why did you pull me away from the room? Whyyy?! You don't want Mrs Salma to know that her grandson's private secretary is a nagger?!” Read Queen, the stronger the grip.

Aakhhh ...

The pain of Queen's hand grip made Zulaikha even more painful and bit her lip. His eyes looked deeply into the eyes of Queen Lee who was also staring intently into his eyes. Queen Lee's eyes were so strong and sharp that Zulaikha could not see a fear there that he could use to bully her.

If it continues like this, then he can lose to Queen Lee and his position will also be threatened. All his efforts have been in vain.

Of course he can't lose this easily. While continuing to search for the crack, a figure he recognized walked over closer towards them. Zulaikha's eyes immediately sparkled and an idea emerged. Want to not, like not to like, good not good. He has to do this.

The more the figure walked over, and Queen Lee was busy scolding her. Zulaikha counted down in his mind to make time fit, to fit his plan.

3 ... 2 ... 1

Right after his inner self mentioned the number one, he instantly dropped himself onto the floor and whimpered loudly. Acting as if she had been hurt by Queen Lee.

“Eh ..”

The figure that Zulaikha had been waiting for was none other than Sabiru. Directly put his gaze forward and saw Zulaikha being bullied by Queen Lee.

“Zuuu ..” cried Sabi.
