198. New Life Agus
Agus, who now occupies the CEO's room previously occupied by his father, seems to be busy doing tasks that are so piled up after his father was hospitalized for his illness.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of knocking on the door so that disperse the concentration of Agus who was working.
"Please enter!" agus gave permission to enter.
" I'm sorry, sir. There's a Mr. Word wants to meet you!" secretary Agus told him about the arrival of guests for him.
" Who is the Word? I don't know him!" agus said frowning because he felt he did not know a figure named Firman.
" Geez, it's bad to be a CEO now you're forgetting your old friend!" said the Word that went directly into the room Agus so as to make Agus jerked because of it.
" Astagfirullah! I guess whose Word!It turns out you are?" agus immediately rose from his seat and welcomed the uninvited arrival of the Word to his office.
" Where do you know that I'm back in the office when I'm back here is still a company secret!" agus asked while diving into his old friend who he had not met for a long time since he ran away from his father's company.
" I came to this company to see your father. But he said the CEO has now been replaced. Yeah, I was thinking, you must have replaced him. Who else could replace your father, if not his own son?" word said his hypothesis about the existence of Agus in the company he knew.
" A long time ago you were no opponent I salute you!" agus said he felt very happy with the arrival of Firman on his first day working again at his father's company.
" I'm only temporarily replacing my Papa. Until he gets back to health. After that, I will return to my habitat. Don't you know for yourself, I don't like the frenzy of this kind of life at all. I'd rather live free and free out there. Even in a state of deprivation and humiliation for others!" agus said with sadness because he suddenly remembered about his father and his family who always insulted him just because he was considered a person who did not have.
" The philosophy of your life has never changed. I really salute you, Gus. It's just that I think your philosophy is a bit wrong actually!" Said Firman trying to express his opinion about Agus' current lifestyle.
" Try explaining to me! Where's the fault?" tanya Agus seemed curious about the opinion of his best friend who had been famous for being very smart and intelligent.
" You love a free and free life beyond the control of your parents. But I'm sorry Gus! It's just the way you're wrong!" word paused his speech so as to invite the curiosity of Agus.
" Where is the error? Can you explain it?" agus asked really curious.
" You should be able to prove it to both of your parents. Even without their support you can succeed and become a great person. Not by being a taxi driver and living insulted by others as a poor person. That's really a very misguided freedom!" say the Word to the point because he does not like to go around and mince words.
" That means like you do?" agus asked with a smile to the Word.
"Bingo!" said Firman while flicking his finger in front of Agus.
" It's not that I don't want to be a great person like you, without the help of my parents. It's just that I'm tired of all these luxuries and want to taste as a person who doesn't have any!" agus said with a smile to the Word who nodded his head.
"I salute your life principle Gus! Indeed, every human being has his own views and ideals. It's just you as your father's son. Moreover, you are the only heir in this family. Agus, you have a responsibility to develop your father's company that he painstakingly built. Then, you remember the hundreds of thousands and even millions of employees who hung their lives under the company of your parents! Did you ever imagine what their life would be like if this company went bankrupt without a successor after your father died?" ask the word to Agus so that Agus began to think back about the principle of life that he had been holding.
" You're right Word! I was wrong in living my life all this time. Thank you for reminding me!" said Agus while reviewing a smile to the Word of his old friend.
" It should be as friends that we should remind each other, right?" ask Firman while smiling at Agus.
" Yes! It's true that I feel grateful to you. Hopefully after this my mind will be more open and able to accept my destiny as the heir of my father's company!" agus said with a smile to the Word.
" Let's enjoy the dish and hope it doesn't disappoint your tongue!" agus said allowing Firman to enjoy snacks provided by his secretary.
" Oh yeah I heard you're married? Why not create a reception and introduce your wife to the public?" tanya Firman was surprised to Agus who hid about his marriage.
" The marriage of the two of us is not real. Maybe even now I've become a widower!" agus said with a smile when he talked about his marriage with Ayana.
" What do you mean? Why is there so much mystery in it?" tanya Firman was astonished at Agus who was questioning him.
" He married me only to take back his family's company that was taken over by his aunt!" said Agus gave a little clue to the Word.
Word frowned and felt he did not understand what his best friend was saying.
" He regarded me as a poor and despicable taxi driver and he did not accept me as his husband. She wanted to marry me just because her aunt gave her the condition that she would make her family's company my wedding dowry!" agus said that his marriage was like in the land of novels today.
" Geez why is it so stupid that woman left a jewel like you so precious!" word was astonished and shook his head.
" I was just wondering if your wife knew you were the heir to a company of this size. Will he still look down on you?" tanya Firman while looking at Agus who is now bowing his head because it feels sad to think about his marriage which is only a corn.
" I asked her to move to the penthouse that I had prepared for our residence. But he refused to come with me. Maybe because she thought that I would ask her to stay in my little contract that she had seen before!" agus said smiling miris told about his marriage to a friend who he had not met for a very long time.
Agus and Firman were friends when they both studied in Jakarta.
Agus returned to Surabaya while Firman expanded his wings by opening his own company without the help of his parents who prefer to live in America.
