CEO Seed
Chapter 34

"Okay, really, yes, if the carcass is later stored will smell it."

The words of the next-door neighbor were heard clearly into Kania's ears. There was nothing I could do but be quiet. Wanna fight how? What he said is true.

What Kania tried to hide would definitely be revealed as well.

"Then you come back, you're upsetting the citizens, Kania. Many journalists disturbed our calm. Especially now, all the bodyguards. Moreover, your problem has gone everywhere. Shame our village."

Kania just kept silent. Kania realized, what happened lately must be very disturbing to the surrounding residents. But Kania also could not find the best solution.

But, Kania's father has called Mr. RT to apologize for what happened because of his family. Indeed, Mr. RT Legowo accepted Karno's apology. It's just that there are still citizens who do not accept if Kania still lives in their village.

Kania went into the house. Time has shown ashar time. Kania immediately took ablution and established prayers. Competing before God, begging for forgiveness and asking for a way out for the problems that are happening in his life now.

***

Kania's phone rang just as Kania came out of the bathroom. There is the name of Rama that is clearly displayed on the phone screen.

Rama called...

Breathing slowly out of Kania's nose. To be honest he was getting tired of having a relationship with Rama. Lately Rama rarely gave him news. Even when Kania was hit by problems like this, Rama did not ask how Kania was doing.

Kania began to doubt. Is this what you call fighting? What way does Rama use to fight so that Rama does not try to establish good communication with Kania?

Not that Kania asked to be notified every time. But at least Rama asked how Kania was after her disgrace spread.

But reality? Rama silence. There was nothing the man did for Kania and Shaka. He forgets his promise that will keep Kania and Shaka under any circumstances.

Reluctant to pick up the phone from Rama, Kania only took a quick glance at the name. Then change the settings to silent mode.

It does not matter how many calls will come from Rama. Kania won't lift it. Kania let the phone stay lit because he wanted to know the extent of the development of the problem that has been viral on social media which until now became the number three tranding under two other famous artists involved in the scandal syur photo.

"Have Shaka and I left this village, sir, Mom? Stay in the contract again."

Karno and Wening compactly looked at Kania after hearing Kania's speech. "What are you talking about? You are a father and mother. Either way, Father and mother will protect you and our grandchildren" Karno replied firmly.

"But I have made my father and mother ashamed of my scattered disgrace, sir."

"Not a big deal. It's all about time. Everyone has also done something wrong. The most important thing is that we want to change for the better."

"But, Mr_"

"If you want to go, please go. But don't you ever try to get Shaka away from us." Wening interrupted Kania quickly. Making Kania look at Wening with a puzzled look.

"Where might I go without Shaka, Mom."

"Yes, stay here. Don't be weird about going all out. Calm down, Kania. It's all gonna be over."

Though difficult, Kania tries to calm down as her father says. After all, where can anyone sit quietly at home while netizens all over Indonesia are talking about him and Shaka?

***

The morning Kania felt strange. The news about him and Shaka that was crowded yesterday is no longer there. Kania scrolls through Mak Lambe-lambean's account, no more news about her and Shaka.

Google and other online media no longer contain articles about him. Even the article that was yesterday is gone. Just disappear.

Oddity also Kania found when Kania drove Shaka to school. There were no more cynical gazes, insults from the parents of the other students to Kania and Shaka. In fact, they seem to be very respectful to Kania.

"Why, anyway?" ask Kania in my heart. "Don't it yesterday on talking to me? Why are they so friendly now? Strange," he continued, still in his heart.

Kania just nodded respectfully and smiled wryly as she passed them to escort Shaka to the front of the class.

Even in class, Shaka's friends greeted Shaka enthusiastically. There were no more taunts directed at Shaka.

"It's a big mistake that we meddle in Shaka's mother's affairs. Well, let's not let our fate be like Miss Renata with Mama Helen, huh?"

"After all, Mama Helen got information from whom, anyway, can it be complete? We're, so we're laughing too."

"Not knowing either, Bund. Huh, ah. Don't talk about this anymore if you don't want to be like Mama Helen and Miss Renata."

Kania who accidentally heard their conversation also started to think hard. What happened to Miss Renata and Mama Helen until they were so scared?

"Is there any chance of Devan's intervention?" Kania asked in her heart.

Somehow feeling Kania said the culprit was Dita. Remembering him and Dita there are problems that have not been talked about. Dita must be angry and jealous because Kania is close to Rama.

However, Kania could not directly ask Dita. Kania needs proof that Dita is the culprit.

"Sorry, Mother of all. If you may know, what happened to Mama Helen and Miss Renata?" Kania ventured to ask the mothers. They were lyrically intertwined and were repulsed because they got such questions from Kania.

"Don't be afraid to talk, Bund. I guarantee you'll be fine" said Kania, who saw fear in their eyes.

"It's really okay, huh, Bund?"

Kania nodded for sure.

"Emmm... Bu Renata's husband was fired from Citra TV, Bund and his name was on the black list of all companies. All this time Ms. Renata did not know that Mr. Devan was her husband's boss."

"Fired?" kania asked, not believing what she heard.

Mama Kesya nodded. "If Mama Helen, reportedly Mr. Devan's family withdrew all his investment in Mama Helen's husband's company."

"Huh?" Kania.

To that extent the Devan family tries to protect Shaka. Their descendants.

But Kania thinks this is all too much. Devan and his family don't need to shut down the windfall of such a person.

This is not their fault anyway. It's Kania's fault. A man who has a bad past. Why should anyone else be affected?

About Renata, isn't it natural that a mother would be angry if her child was hit? Yes, even though his son is guilty. But it was purely a natural act of a mother.

If it was Mama Helen, Kania couldn't force everyone to accept her past. They have the right to argue because everything in their hearts, they themselves will be responsible.

It can be enough to give a reprimand. There is no need to fire and withdraw all of his investments like this.

Instead of feeling relieved, Kania actually felt guilty to both people. Although yesterday he was despised, in talking about his ugliness, still Kania did not have the heart if they had to experience something like this.

Kania can't just stay quiet. Without wasting any more time, Kania immediately ordered a taxi online to drive herself to Devan's office.

***

"Sir, I want to see Devan."

"Have an appointment?"

Kania shook his head quickly. "Should I make a promise?"

"Yes, Mom. Anyone who wants to meet with Mr. Devan must have made an appointment beforehand."

Kania let out an annoyed breath. "But I have to see Devan now, Ma'am. Could you please show me where Devan's room is?"

The receptionist named Nindita looked at Kania strangely. Perhaps in his heart, who was this woman before him? Dare to call his boss by name alone.

"Mom can sit in the waiting room. I'll call Mr. Devan's secretary first."

"I can't wait, Ma'am. It's important."

"Wait a minute, Mom."

Kania finally gave up. He sits himself on the sofa in Devan's office waiting for Nindita to call Devan's secretary.

"How many floors are there, anyway, Ma'am? That's high." Kania.

"Twenty-one floors, ma'am."

Kania poked her lips withstanding a smile. He doesn't know for sure, but usually the CEO's room must be at the highest level.

When Nindita let her guard down, Kania immediately ran towards the elevator. Pressing him repeatedly hoped the elevator would open soon.

"Mom, where are you going?" Nindita screamed, panicking at Kania entering the elevator.

Nindita wants to pursue. But he's late. Kania got into the elevator and the elevator door was closed.

Kania smiled triumphantly. In contrast to Nindita who panicked and feared he would be fired because he could not hold a stranger to not get into the elevator special higher-ups and whether the floor Kania would go to look for that superior.
