THE LITTLE QUEEN'S SUFFERING
The Queen's answer

Zidan began to wake up and he swallowed his saliva strongly, he was shocked to hear a statement from the Queen who said that he was valuable to the Queen, hearing that Zidan's hope grew increasingly on the Queen, he was more and more confident that the Queen would definitely accept him.

******

At that moment Zidan immediately turned nervous and he tidied his hair to calm himself down.

"Well, I won't be like that next time, I'm sorry Queen" Zidan said with a smiling glance at the Queen.

The queen could also calm down a little, as Zidan had already started to act as usual to her again, arriving at Zidan's office asked the Queen to help him organize some files for a presentation to an overseas company that will invest in his company tomorrow.

Because it was an order regarding work, the Queen obeyed him without asking much and she continued to focus on staring at everything while checking back all the files well and thoroughly.

Without the Queen realizing that Zidan had been staring at him silently, he impatiently wanted to finish all his work immediately and waited for the time to come home and asked the Queen for an answer regarding the statement of feeling he had done before.

"Aishh.Why this clock has been moving for so long, I can't wait" Zidan grumbled softly as he struck his watch.

The queen who finally managed to complete the task from Zidan he immediately gave all the files to Zidan and he said to go back to his room, The Queen was not aware that Zidan had been watching her so closely.

The Queen entered her room and began to sit resting her body on the bench of her greatness, the Queen only enjoyed the pleasant period of working in Zidan's company and did everything calmly.

"I really like working here, there's not a single bully that would piss me off or put me in danger, I'll keep working here until I'm tired of hehe" the Queen said with a smile.

Looking towards the clock on the wall that already showed the time to go home the Queen immediately cleaned her briefcase and walked out of the room, when it just came out, Zidan also just came out of his room so they met each other.

"Ehh...Zidan you want to go home, too?" Queen asked started to talk casually again for fear of Zidan sulking again,

"Ahh.iya, instead of us there is a promise that you did not forget before" replied Zidan began to remind me, Zidan,

"Aishh.I forgot to answer the matter to Zidan now, how I relayed it to him" the Queen muttered in confusion, saying,

The Queen only replied with a crisp smile while holding a sling bag tightly, Zidan arrived to grasp the Queen's arm and pulled her immediately to walk into the elevator, The Queen could not refuse because she had also previously agreed to the matter, The Queen just keeps walking with Zidan and Zidan who don't let go of his grip on the Queen's arm until they get in the car and Zidan even opens the car door for the Queen.

At that time the Queen felt very awkward she just kept quiet during the trip and she also did not know where Zidan would take her until when he started hitting a road that he had been through.

"Ehh... Isn't this the way to the lake?" I guessed,

"Yes you're right, we'll go to the lake again, won't I reveal it there, then you should also answer it in the same place, you don't mind right?" Reply Zidan while asking my opinion, please,

"No, I don't mind the atmosphere and the place is pretty good I like it" the Queen replied with a thin smile,

Actually at that time the Queen was really confused that she did not want to disappoint Zidan but she also could not take it for granted, although the Queen knows how good Zidan is to her but still the Queen still feels confused as to who she should choose between the two, they expressed their feelings in the near future and now the Queen has to make a decision.

Some time they just kept quiet and Zidan started to re-express his feelings to the Queen.

"Queen, I really liked you for a long time and I'm sure you know about that, so how do you answer now I just need answers and clarity from you" Zidan said with hopeful eyes,

The queen looked at him confusedly she had a really hard time putting together a good sentence so as not to offend Zidan and hurt his feelings.

"Eumm....Zidan I know you like me and you've been so good to me all this time, but I can't lie to my feelings about giving you more hope, I'm really sorry, I....can't like anyone at the moment" the Queen replied with a bow.

The Queen did not even dare to look at Zidan's face because she knew Zidan would be disappointed with his answer.

When the Queen was bowed listlessly after answering Zidan's statement with some explanation but apparently Zidan only smiled in response to the answer from the Queen.

"Hey...Queen why are you looking down if you don't want to see my face, I don't mind your answer because I know this is what I'm going to hear from you, but I still foolishly expressed my feelings for you and hoped that you would accept me" replied Zidan who seemed to hide his disappointment and sadness.

The Queen raised her head and when her gaze met Zidan's eyes despite her smiling mouth the Queen still knew that the look in Zidan's eyes was a disappointment and sadness, The queen felt really guilty and she hugged Zidan on reflex.

"What queen are you doing?" Zidan asked confused as the Queen suddenly hugged him,

"Zidan I'm sorry, I know you're disappointed I feel so guilty for you, I love you because you're a good friend to me, I can't if I don't love you but I'm also confused as to why I don't love people as well as you" the Queen said, hugging Zidan tightly.

"If you had known that your treatment of holding me like this made it even harder for me to let go of you Queen" Zidan murmured in his little heart.

Zidan smiled and he gently rubbed the Queen's head he did not want the Queen to feel sad let alone feel guilty to him, because Zidan also understood if the feeling could not be forced where he had to dock, to be loved as a friend by the Queen is also enough for Zidan.

Without them both realizing, Diah's secretary has been quietly following them since they left the company and Diah's secretary managed to photograph the Queen as she hugged Zidan and also a video of the unfinished piece during the Queen's time he said he loved Zidan.

An evil and cunning smile expands on the petty face of a Diah secretary, he uses the foreign number he just used and then deliberately sends all the photos and videos he has edited before to Randi, after that he immediately left from there with a satisfied heart for successfully slandering the Queen.

"Well, who told you to dare to flirt with the man of my dreams, then feel the consequences I will make you hated by all the men who like you!" Said Diah's secretary with her evil grin.

After a bit of calm the Queen started to let go of her embrace and now she was embarrassed to shed tears just because she couldn't accept Zidan's feelings for her.

"What queen are you crying for?" Zidan asked while looking at the Queen's face,

"Oh...no, what am I crying for, shouldn't you be the one crying now?" The Queen replies to cover up her tears that have already been discovered,

"My queen is not that sweet, at least I know you love me, although I can not be your partner but you will still be the person I love, then now even later" zidan's reply made the Queen even more uneasy.
