"Boss, we got a big catch! We know what's the reason Brady never showed his son's face to the public!" exclaim someone excitedly, then continue with the next sentence in a slow voice.
"So that's a very interesting thing!" others murmured after hearing all the words from the first person.
......................
August 6th is the meeting date for the owners of every major company in Indonesia to gather together somewhere.
Then now that date has arrived, and Batam is hosting the meeting this time. The event will be held at one of the five-star hotels in Batam, Batam Marriott Hotel. The swimming pool area directly facing the sea became the main point of the luxurious meeting.
"Brady! Let's toast while talking about our next business!" shouted a man with a very neat look, to the person who was being highly highlighted in the meeting. Who else if not Brady, Batam is the territory of his company.
"Hi Pram! Long time no see!" said Brady while patting slowly on the back of the person who called him earlier. "But, what kind of business did you mean?" brady continued with a small laugh.
Pram laughed, "Just kidding. However, it's not a bad idea if our two companies start working together, is it?" he laughed, I don't know what's funny.
"Yes, I think you can if your company is not in the coal mining field!" brady replied, who laughed even bigger.
It turns out this is the joke, Brady company is a company that works in the food sector, has nothing to do with working with Pram's company.
"Oh yes Brady, I was curious about the young man standing next to you, who is he?" pram asked when he realized the figure of Erick who had always been following Brady.
At the question, Brady smiled, and then pulled the boy in front of him, "He's my son!" Brady is proud to introduce Erick.
This is the first time Brady has brought Erick to this company meeting. So no wonder only a handful of people know about Erick the son of the Brady family.
"Oh so ... But if it's not wrong, did you say that your son went to school in Switzerland? Is he on vacation now?" Pram asked again, he was very curious.
Pram's question this time made Erick stunned, he did not know that it turned out that all this time his parents said about it to their friends.
"Switzerland? I've never even left Indonesia for more than 3 years" Erick said in his heart, his cold face becoming colder.
Aware of the change in the face of the Son, Brady wanted to talk immediately and explain to everyone the real situation.
However, Hendra suddenly appears and meddles in the conversation between Brady and Pram. "Gee ... Turns out you've been lying to all of us, huh, Brady?" hendra was provoking.
Of course Hendra's words made Brady and Pram shocked, "What do you mean?" ask the two men almost simultaneously.
"Mahaha ...." Hendra laughed so much, that everyone was now looking towards them. "If Pram's asking is natural, but why are you asking too, Brady? These are all scripts you made yourself!" hendra said that made the situation even more heated.
After all eyes had been on him, Hendra began to speak in a big voice so that everyone could hear him.
"In this meeting, I will share one very surprising fact. It's about the Brady family's only child, Erick Brady Aditya. He is a very troubling motorcycle gang leader in Batam. That's the reason why Brady never showed us all his children."
Everyone was shocked to hear what Hendra had to say, including Brady and Erick. While they were still difficult to digest Hendra's sentence, Hendra spoke again.
"Who would have thought, if it turns out that the child of the most successful businessman in Batam is a very naughty child. Their family relationships were not harmonious all this time because of their child's mischief. And most surprisingly, Brady doesn't want to show us his son because he's ashamed to have a son like Erick."
The long sentence from Papa Navya came back to everyone's surprise, everyone who heard it was almost in disbelief.
Now everyone is silent, waiting for a response from Brady and Erick. Because those who are there are smart people, so they will not only hear from one point of view.
After a long silence, Brady finally spoke up, "What Hendra said was all true, now I will not say that it was wrong" Brady said aloud.
Brady's statement made everyone who was there was inexhaustible, they really did not expect that there was such a thing in the Brady family that they had thought was perfect.
But before a negative response from his business colleagues emerged, Brady quickly continued his sentence.
"But that was before. I used to have very narrow thoughts about my son, I don't know what he really wanted. Until one day I found out, and in the end I regretted treating her that way. And for now I'm really proud to have a son like Erick. He is a proud child to me!" obviously Brady is at length with a very proud tone of speech.
Brady also holds the shoulder of his son, "Erick is indeed the chairman of the motorcycle gang, he is a cold child, naughty, and sometimes lazy in learning. But he is also a smart child, even he just won the Olympics in Batam, he likes to share, and also has a soft side and very caring!" brady.
Brady said all those things with a sense of pride, he used to be embarrassed to admit Erick, but now all that has changed. Erick is now still the old Erick, which makes it feel changed because of the differences in behavior of his parents today.
Pproookkkk ... Pproookkkk ...
A few moments after Brady finished talking, the sound of applause filled the location of the meeting, now there is no longer an awkward feeling in the minds of the entrepreneurs. The Brady family is the perfect family. Not yet but now it is.
"You deserve to be a successful entrepreneur, Brady! You dare to admit mistakes and now make the family as something very valuable," said Pram accompanied by the action of embracing his business friend.
"Hendra, why do you know so much about the Brady family that even we as close friends don't know. Did you deliberately find out all this information to bring down Brady, you should have known that it was true that you could be prosecuted, right?" sahut a woman who has been standing next to Pram, she is Prita, a great businesswoman and lawyer.
Of course hearing what Prita said, Hendra was immediately fixated. He could not say anything until he decided to leave without saying a word.
Hendra left the meeting, while the others resumed the event without Hendra's presence.
