In one of his endless parties, Gjergji "punished" me by saying:

- You sit there from the end with Mimika, because you are from the south, you have no business with us Maloks. That she has her great-grandparents from there, from those Beylers....

In fact, I, like many others, because we always associated Mimika with Ndreka Luca, I knew that she was from Shkodra. And there she started to tell me her story.

Mimika's mother is the granddaughter of Sami Frashër, whose family lived in Ioannina before the Second World War. She married a lawyer who lived between Ioannina and Gjirokastra, and Mimika herself was born and lived the first years of her childhood between Gjirokastra and Ioannina. At the height of the Italian-Greek war, her lawyer father dies in Ioannina from an incurable disease, at a relatively young age.

Her mother, until then a woman pampered by fate, was suddenly left with her children in the middle of Ioannina.

Mimika described her house in Ioannina, where the Police headquarters is today, and about 1 hectare of land around the villa. Panicked by being left alone, the mother leaves with the children towards the house in Gjirokastra, where her people were also close by.

In Kakavija, the Greek guards warned him that he was crossing into an enemy state, since Albania had declared war on Greece under the push of Italy, and if he chose Albania, he should forget Greece.

Her mother continued on her way and put a stamp of descent from Greece on your passport.

- The Italian soldier who received us gave me chocolate, Mimika remembers, and they accompanied us in a truck to Gjirokastër.

That's where the drama started. Their house meanwhile had been bombed and completely destroyed. All things were gone. They knew nothing. Suddenly they were left without a home, with the impossibility of returning to Ioannina and between the four roads, without a single lek.

The next day they traveled to Tirana and went to the Toptans. The Frashëri family members and Murad Toptani had established a friendship that had grown over the years.

But there he was again unlucky. The homes of the Toptans were filled with war refugees from the South, because of their connections to the great families of the South. There was no place to stay.

Someone from Toptan promised them that he would talk to Qazim Mullleti.

The next day, Qazim Mulleti received Mimika's mother and himself in the office, and it was possible for Mimika to stay at the "Queen Mother Orphanage", while her mother worked there as a cleaner. That's how they would live together.

It was like a miracle dropped from the sky.

From 1941 until the end of the war, they stayed there safely and Mimika grew up in a children's home with her mother at her head.

They stayed there for several years after the war, until they managed to secure their own apartment.

Years later, Mimika married Ndreka and started her own life.

I asked him what has remained hostage to him as an artist during communism. Even more so as the wife of an actor who, although he played mostly negative roles, was very popular.

- I was held hostage by my mother's worries, he said. She never accepted what we did. And all my life I felt bad for the truth that our art conveyed.

Mimika tells when she invited her mother to watch the comedy "The Prefect". It was not the version of Robert Ndrenika, but of the actor Mihal Popi. Nikolin Xhoja also played the role after him.

- We went to the show and after ten minutes the mother lowered her head between her knees and did not raise it until the show was over. I felt that he was insulted and angry.

When the show was over and we walked out into the hallway, he vented to me.

-Shame on you, he told me, for bringing me to see how you make fun of the man who saved you and me. And she broke up angrily with me and Ndreka.

For a long time, that event was the hostage of his life...

- Does Gjergji know this, I told him?

- We have shown it several times, he said, but he also laughs like all Albanians when he remembers the comedy "The Prefect". Only I feel like crying when I remember my mother.

I saw from George.

- Do you know what Mimika is telling me, I told her? Mother's story with Qazim Mullet.

And George burst into his thunderous laugh again.
