Looking For Li Mei's Family

"ARE you sure this is the place, Shen?" Qarl asked as soon as his car stopped in front of a

medium-sized house.

"Follow the address given, with the direction that the GPS shows ... yes this is the place, sir. Unless the GPS is broken, or the road has changed."

"Hopefully not."

"Well... let's pray for the best. Shall we?"

Qarl unbuckled his seat belt before stepping out of the car followed by Secretary Shen. In casual t-shirts draped with leather jackets as well as jeans by both, the steps continued to be arranged approaching the seemingly rather lonely house.

"Hello?"

Qarl's voice greeted the host inside. 15 seconds apart, there was no reply from within.

"Excuse me. Hello?"

Again, the man called. A minute goes by, but it was still silent without any response or human involvement.

"Is this really the house, Shen? It's like no one is there. If we scream until tomorrow morning, no anyone will come out."

"I am very sure this is the house, sir. Look at that ... house number four." Secretary Shen's index finger pointed at the number on the wall of the house before handing over the document with the address they were looking for.

"But nobody comes out."

"It's okay, sir. Let me try." This time Secretary Shen tried his luck. "Hellooo? Anybody home?"

Louder and higher the tone threw by the secretary as compared to Qarl's voice just now. But... there are still no signs of the house in front being inhabited.

"Hellooo! Anyone in there ??"

Secretary Shen's screams were echoed again. Hoping to attract the occupants inside who may be languishing in a dream. However, it remained silent and did not react.

A long sigh escaped the cleft of his lips.

"So ... what should we do now? Stay here, or go back?" Qarl question.

"Go back? Without getting anything?"

"You see it, right. No one coming out."

"Then that case, we go in."

Qarl was stunned. Without blinking his eyes looked at the man in front. "What do you mean?"

"We go inside. Make sure there are people or not."

"How? With this locked fence."

"Climb."

Once again Qarl was shocked. Whoa! Really get off insane his secretary today! Never again in his life did he climb a fence and break into someone's house.

"Are you just kidding me, right Shen?"

There was no word reply from Secretary Shen. Only the tip of his lip tilted in response.

Oh, no! Secretary Shen already gave his mischievous smile!

Qarl kept losing for words. Squeezing his waist immediately in place. The idea of ​​the men next door is like feeding themselves into the mouth of a dragon that was wide-open. Stay clinging, safe. If fall, then they will be eaten to pieces, the answer is.

"So ... are you with me or not, sir?" Secretary Shen wants a decision.

Qarl was divided. Want to follow a sane mind, or a voice from the bottom of his heart?

For a moment he looked at his secretary. From the look on his face, it seems that the man is serious with the motion.

'Climb the fence? Arghhhh ... this is really crazy work!'

Qarl's gaze shifted to the front. The two-and-a-half-meter-high iron fence was contemplated in a multi-faceted feeling.

"Sir? Are you gonna be the first?"

"Err ..." Qarl's sentence stopped abruptly. The direction of his eyeballs also changed.

"Or let me start it."

"I think none of us will do that."

"Wh ... what?"

"There someone is heading to us right now."

Simultaneously Secretary Shen's head was directed to the courtyard. A man in his teens is walking toward them in hurry steps.

"Sorry, brothers. I was taking a shower when you two were calling out. That's why it's a little slow to come out. "

"Oh ... it's okay. We came all of a sudden. It's not your fault, "Qarl replied calmly.

"May I know who is the two of you? What is the purpose of coming here?"

"My name is Qarl. This is my friend, Shen. We came here actually to find the person."

"Oh wait." The young man then opened the locked gate of the house. "I am Azri. Just call me Az."

Azri held out his hand and shook hands with Qarl and Shen.

"Is this your house, Az?" Qarl began to ask.

"Yes, is it. This is my house."

"Do you live here alone?"

"No, it's not. I live with my dad, mom and sister. But they are all not at home. Dad and sister work. My mom went out to town. I'm the only one left now. "

Qarl looked at Shen. The answer that came out of Azri's mouth seemed to cast a shadow of hope on his quest.

Dad. Mom. Sister.

Are they Aunty Li Mei's family?

And this young man in front of him...

Is Azri also his cousin? An heir to Li Jie?

"Sir?"

Qarl winced as his shoulder was nudged by Secretary Shen. "Err ... huh?"

"Azri is asking you."

"Erm ... err ... sorry, Az. What are you asking just now?"

"Who did you come to find? You said you came here to find person, right?"

"Yes, I am."

"Who are you looking for?"

"My aunt."

"What's your aunt's name?"

"Nur Marina Yoong Abdullah. Or Li Mei. She lives here, right?"

Azri was silent. His forehead was slightly furrowed.

"Why are you silent, Az?"

"Err ..." Azri scratched his forehead.

"That's your mom, right?"

"Err... yes. My mom's name is Marina. But...,"

"But what, Az?"

"My mom's name is Nurul Marina Mazlan. Not Nur Marina Yoong Abdullah."

Immediately Qarl's face changed appearance. The ripple of high hopes mountainous just now felt destroyed.

"Sir ...." Secretary Shen touched Qarl's shoulder. Seeing the five men's book gripped tightly, he knew his boss was holding back the feelings. Might be sad, or probably disappointed.

"Brother Qarl, are you okay? Let's go inside first," asked Azri anxiously. Simultaneously, Qarl looked up at him again.

"Your dad ... what's his name?" Shen's secretary asked when he saw that his boss's face was already restless.

"Mohd Azhar Rahman."

Qarl bowed hollowly. His spirit seemed to be ripped out of his body. The whole body seemed to be torn apart by pain. His breath seemed to suffocate. Really ... he was really disappointed with the explanation he had just heard.

"How long have you and your family lived here?"

"About 13 years."

"Meaning before you lived here, there were other hosts?"

"Yes. My mom said she received this house from a family."

"Do you know who the host was before?"

Oh ... I'm so sorry, brother. I don't know much about the previous host. After all,

I was a kid anyway when my family moved here. Don't really remember that time. But if my dad or mom, they might know."

"Can I see your dad and mom, Az?"

"Of course. It's just… dad will be back from work in the evening. My mom, I'm not sure what time. But soon as possible. Let's come in first and wait inside. It's hot outside!" Azri invited.

Qarl glanced at his secretary. Seeing the man nodding, then the two of them arranged to follow Azri walking in.

"Az?"

Three pairs of legs that just wanted to hit the floor of the house were frozen from continuing their movement due to an old woman's voice that out of nowhere appeared to greet suddenly.
