"Uncle Gerald!!"
Zien galloped, after he saw the uncle who had always spoiled him come specially to meet him.
Gerald was still alone, not because of anything, but because Fladilena refused his love. One year after Sandra and Hainry's wedding, Gerald expresses his feelings and proposes to the girl, but Fladilena resists her firmly, and until now, Fladilena is still a YK71 detective without marriage.
Today is Sunday, Gerald is off and he took the initiative to meet his beloved niece, the only niece he has.
"Uncle's most beautiful nephew!" Gerald raised Zien's body, twisted it in the air, what Gerald used to do, he really liked to spoil his nephew on this one.
"Uncle, Zien would like to ask?"
"What's that?" Gerald was a little curious, what made his little nephew curious.
"Strong is what? Zien wants to be strong like a mama, but Zien doesn't know what's strong."
At first Gerald was silent, he thought, after which he smiled warmly so widely. It seemed like her nephew was indeed more akin to Sandra than Hainry, making Gerald very happy.
"The strong is when a person can come to terms with his past, accepting it as part of his life that can help him to continue to survive." Gerald recalled, about him who is very difficult to make peace with the past and guilt that accumulates, until when he can face all that, he felt relieved, he felt strong.
"It's a little complicated, but try Zien record first Uncle, later Zien learn again the meaning." Zien with his tiny hands wrote what Gerald said earlier, occasionally Zien also asked Gerald to repeat his words.
......................
"Aunt Fla!!" Zien shouted out loudly.
If this Sunday morning he spent playing with Gerald. So this afternoon he decided to play with the members of YK71. Sandra and Hainry bring Zien to the base, no matter how much YK71 members like him.
No problem either.
Because YK71 members are also very happy, if a little angel like Zien comes to spend his vacation here.
As of this moment, Zien was leisurely sitting on Fladilena's desk. Fla himself sat Zien there, right next to Fla there was also Rafael. The two looked at Zien with a smile, even Rafael who rarely smiled so laughed more thanks to Zien.
"Bi, Zien has a big problem, so Zien wants to go to the most famous detective member."
"Oho~ what this is, what will our little princess say." Fla responded with a serious look, since the serious Zien was more adorable.
"So what problem does our little princess have." Rafael gets ready with his mini laptop, he doesn't want to mess with Zien's imagination just like that.
"So gini, Zien wants to be a great detective like mama! Mom kept saying, Zien should know if it's strong. Strong is what? Aunt Fla? About Rafael?"
Neither Fladilena, nor Raphael were both taken aback by the words of this little princess. You see, Zien usually looks more like Hainry with all his attractiveness, but right now Zien is very similar to Sandra.
At the sight of Zien's ambitious eyes, Fla and Rafael would not be able to bring out a perfunctory answer right? Where could that be.
"Strong it was, when Zien tried something, but failed. Zien did not give up and continued to try until the end. Strong according to Fla's aunt is, Zien doesn't give up how many times he fails." Fla who knows how hard it is to be a detective with the ability of his head is ordinary, capitalized spirit, data validity info, and good public speaking. He has experienced many twists and turns to become the greatest detective of the moment, and the key is himself who never gives up somehow failed.
"Hmm? Zien knows this, Auntie's cool!"
"You think I'm strong, huh? Stronger when you're together, when you're not alone you'll get stronger." Rafael knows this clearly, he experienced it himself. Rafael will be even stronger, if he works with the rest of YK71. Rafael felt weak, when he was alone. For Rafael, strong is when together.
"Hooo, make sense! But Zien is not relatable. Ask the others ah!"
But Zien, had yet to understand a single strong one that people were referring to. Zien could not yet choose, which strong answer he would say to Sandra.
......................
"Loh Zien's? Tumben's alone?" Sapa an elegant girl who walked over slowly.
Zien sat alone on the sofa of his house, with a picture book on the table, milk and a healthy snack next to him.
Yes, Zien was drawing at the moment.
"So grandpa, just grandpa picked up the phone. Aunt Jihan here what's the matter? Nyari mama?"
Zien looked at the tall and very beautiful girl like that model, her clothes were so neat. She is Hainry's secretary whom Zien already knows very well, Zien also knows that Jihan is his mother's former student.
"Yes, is there a mama?"
"There was. But if Aunt Jihan wants to see Mama, there's a condition." Zien blocked Jihan's path, he spread his hands wide.
"Ho? So what does this princess want to ask me to get in my way?" Jihan slightly bowed, she aligned her face to take a clearer look at the face and eyes of this princess who looked solemn.
"So, what's Tante Jihan saying?" Zien looked serious now.
Jihan was silent for a while, her memory taking her back to what happened seven years ago, a painful event that left her traumatized for life.
"Zien why is that?"
"Zien wants to be strong like my mom!"
"It's impossible, because Ms. Sandra's teacher is the best woman I've ever known, and she's the only one in the world. That Sandra ma'am, was more powerful and more special than Zien had imagined. There won't be a second Miss Sandra anymore, even if it's Zien."
Zien fell silent, only this time did someone answer Zien's words like this. Usually they do praise Sandra, but after that they will give Zien the spirit to be like Sandra. But Jihan this time, she praised Sandra very much but the opposite with other people.
"But if Zien asked strongly according to what Aunt, Aunty would answer. Strong if you can rise from trauma. Maybe Zien won't understand, and Auntie hopes Zien won't understand what it means to recover from trauma. Auntie hope, Zien lives life happily and comfortably."
Jihan kissed Zien's forehead soft and warm.
Jihan's words were very confusing, but that was also what made Zien unsettled.
Even until now, Zien had no idea what that strong meant.
"If asked strongly what is it? Shouldn't everyone's answers be the same? why is everyone's answer different?"
Ah, Zien did not understand, he only needed one definitive answer, but he instead received many answers that were all different.
......................
The author wants to ask dong, if "strong" according to the readers what is it? Stronger version of you, will the same or different? You must be strong people.
"Yes answered, Zien would like to record the answer so he can tell mom!"
Zien is ready with his book, to record every answer from you.
"So, what's that strong?"
