Amira was invited into the room of Lady Thalia. He stood in the doorway staring at the room that was quite spacious. He noticed the interior of the room was classic, but very luxurious. All furniture is made of mahogany wood base material of choice with the best quality in its class.
"Why just stand? Sit there" said Mrs Thalia, allowing her to sit on the sofa by her bed.
Amira sat down while waiting for Lady Thalia to pick up the P3K box. Lady Thalia walked up to the girl and sat down beside Amira while carrying a P3K box in her hand. He pulled out the alcohol and poured it over a cotton swab. He took Amira's hand slowly and gently rubbed the cotton swab over his injured finger.
The girl just kept quiet and lowered her face. Somehow he did not feel good to receive an uncomfortable look from Madame Thalia since earlier.
"Ami .." call Mrs Thalia after giving the wound medicine on Amira's finger. He looked at the girl with a forced smile on his face.
Amira raised her face, "Yes Aunt," she replied softly and returned the smile.
"How long have you and Vincent been in a relationship?" mrs Thalia asked starting a conversation and probed.
"It's been two months, Auntie," said Amira trying to remember their anniversary.
"Oh, Vincent is chasing you or .. Ah no, no. Surely you are chasing him first. My son was so cold and stiff that he might have shot you first" said Mrs Thalia, who began to look down on the girl in front of him and smiled. Amira was silent, she did not want to refute the words of her mother Vincent, because she did not want to be said to be disrespectful. This is their first meeting.
"What does your father do?" ask Mrs Thalia again.
"Ah, my father's gone a long time ago, Auntie. I only live with my grandfather, mother and brother. Now my brother is helping my grandfather to take care of the company after my father's absence" explained Amira who was actually uncomfortable with the question posed by Mrs Thalia.
"What's the name of the company?" ask Mrs Thalia to investigate.
"Lin Corp, Auntie," replied Amira again.
'It turns out that Lin Corp has been down lately? How could she be with my son, haaah ..' The inner Lady Thalia who lowered Amira's status in her eyes.
Madame Thalia stared at the plain girl face in front of her flatly. He kept asking questions like a policeman interrogating his prisoner.
"Who's your mother's name?" asked Lady Thalia finally who already could not resist the turmoil in her heart. He was curious and wanted to make sure that his conjecture was correct.
"Merina Wu, Auntie," replied Amira frowning in surprise listening to Vincent's mother's question.
As if hearing the sound of lightning on a clear day, the look on Madame Thalia's face changed after Amira answered her question. His hand that was holding Amira's hand tightened his grip which made Amira a little pain.
'It turns out my guess is right. Now his daughter wants to enter the Zhang Family, huh! Don't expect your plan to work!' the Inner Lady Thalia daydreamed at the events of the past decades she wanted to forget.
Flashback 23 years ago.
At that time Thalia was busy with her activities in taking care of the household and her son, Vincent who was just five years old. He was a little overwhelmed because Vincent was in an active and curious stage.
Because of her busy life, Thalia's husband, James Zhang, was slightly neglected. For inner needs, sometimes Thalia does not fulfill it because she is tired of her daily activities.
At first James didn't mind it, as he thought about giving his wife some time of his own privacy. James was a man who loved his wife. Their marriage for nine years was fairly rare quarrels, because of the attitude of James who likes to succumb to his wife.
At that time Royal Group was still a small company that was developing, James built the company from scratch and not only because of the skills possessed by James the company could survive and grow rapidly, he said, but with financial help from his wife's family, the Royal Group can compete with other large companies.
Problems began to occur within James' household and company, when a new secretary broke into the company managed by James, Merina Wu the secretary's name. Merina who had just graduated from school and applied to James' company was so happy to enter the company and became the President's Secretary. He worked diligently and diligently, helping James to set the schedule and take care of all the necessary documents.
Merina is an exemplary employee in her company, not only that, a beautiful face and a charming body make male employees put their hearts on her and try to get it. It did not escape the attention of James, he was amazed by the work done by Merina and also amazed at the humble attitude and beauty of the girl. Slowly James began to feel in love for the second time to a woman other than his wife.
James begins to pursue Merina and does what has marred her nine-year marriage to his wife. He knew he was wrong to do so, but he was also a normal man who needed the attention and understanding of a woman and that he got from his secretary.
At first, Merina who innocently did not know the intention of her boss who always gave expensive gifts to her on the grounds as a tribute to her work. But slowly Merina understood James's intentions, she tried to avoid him and return all the gifts he had ever given her. When James confesses his feelings, Merina rejects him on the grounds that he does not want to be the third person in James' marriage.
But James was not his name if he gave up just like that, eventually Merina's fortress was destroyed as well with all the attention and sweet promises given to him. They're doing crazy things behind Thalia.
As the saying goes, the carcass is buried, for a long time must have smelled too. It did not escape Thalia's observation, she began to suspect her husband who always came home late at night and sometimes smelled perfume not hers or her husband.
One day she followed her husband secretly, she was astonished because all day her husband did not come out of his office at all, but it did not make the suspicions in him disappear. The next day she followed her husband and this time she entered his office. Thalia came without telling her husband in advance as she used to do and what she saw in her husband's office at the time, continued to linger in her memory even after decades later. James, her husband who had promised to be faithful to her on their wedding day, made out with a woman in front of him.
Thalia's heart broke and it hurt to see that. Her husband had incised an incision in her heart that would never disappear and be forever imprinted. Slowly, he approached the woman who was making out with the man he had. The woman's hair was drawn and a hard slap was slapped on the woman's cheek. Not only that, all the maki scorn was thrown from Thalia's lips, he spilled all the pain at that time.
As a result of the despicable actions committed by James, the man had to accept the consequences. He was faced with two choices, choosing to stay with Merina or divorce her. Thalia filed for divorce with the frills of withdrawing all her family's shares and taking her son with her. But in the end James preferred his family over Merina, the woman who had temporarily filled the emptiness of his heart.
The end of flashback.
"Ta-aunty? Auntie's okay?" call Amira who sees Madame Thalia who is sculpting while looking at her without blinking.
"Ah .. sorry. Aunty's okay" said the shocked Madame Thalia and released her grip on Amira's hand. He tidied his medical kit into a P3K box and placed it next to his seat.
Amira rubbed her hands slightly reddened by the grip of Madame Thalia earlier.
'Does Auntie not like me? But why?' inner Amira sad.
