Brakes.
Bara and Morgan were jolted together when the door of his room was opened violently by someone. Bara stopped his hand who was signing the papers of the cooperation agreement and stared at the passageway that was connected to the door.
A Bara-tall man with a face similar to himself appeared from behind the hallway and stared intently at his son.
Morgan was wide-eyed, he retreated from where he stood beside Bara. The aura was gripping as if it was venturing out in the room. The gazes of the two big bosses were locked onto each other.
"Morgan, you can leave us" Bara ordered firmly while putting down the ballpoint pen and closing the file he was signing.
Morgan said he was quick to come out after bending down to greet Friz.
"Is there anything so important that Daddy took the time to come here?" Bara had not yet finished his question, Friz threw a newspaper that he had kept in his pocket.
Bara noticed the sheet of paper that fell right in front of his face. Incidentally, the first page of the gossip paper featured a photo of her holding Kyra.
"Explain what all this means!? Who's that woman!?" hardik Friz with emotion.
Slowly Bara's hand reached for the paper, opening the sheet to read the text.
[The betrothed of Valeria Alianzo refused to give information about the news of their marriage and was caught on camera cradling another woman in front of Valeria]
Bara's laughter broke after reading the article at a glance. The news hit Valeria severely and must have greatly embarrassed her pride as an artist. We should give gifts to those journalists.
"Why laugh? Is there anything funny?" friz's snapping got angry.
"Oops, sorry, Dad! But this news is really fun for me."
"Funny what you said!?" cut Friz fast.
Bara got up from his chair and approached Friz without any fear.
"Dad, so your goal was to come here just to tell you about this news?"
"Not only that, explain to me is it true that you impregnated that girl with Kyra Sada!?"
Bara's breath that was stagnant suddenly tight. How quickly did the father get information about him?
"Who told you, Dad?"
"It doesn't matter who told me, Goddamn kid! How dare you fuck a kid who's not on the same level as us!"
Bara shook his head in disbelief hearing Friz's swearing at him.
"Dad hasn't changed yet."
"What do you mean!?" crush Friz while pushing her son's shoulder violently.
"Dad is just like before! We need to find a woman who is our level. Though the heart cannot choose who we feel comfortable with."
"Stop that shit, Bara! Don't make me remember Daniel."
"We're the same, Dad! We were born of the same mother."
Plaque.
"Leave the woman. Drop the baby and forget all this shit! Go back to Valeria because she deserves to be Lazuardi's son-in-law better than that village girl!" friz's absolute precept.
Bara smiled wryly. "Valeria? After Edy fucks her, Dad still hopes she'll be Lazuardi's son-in-law?"
"At least they just slept and didn't get pregnant!"
"Bullshit, Dad! Not everything I have can be owned by Edy! Even Daniel doesn't have the same things as me. Why do I have to obey you after what you did to my brother?"
Plaque.
"So talk! At least I still pity Daniel even though he's no longer part of Lazuardi."
Bara rubbed his cheek that felt sore after being slapped the umpteenth time. A glimmer of blood tasted on her lips as Bara was about to open her mouth.
"Leave the girl. Or you'll end up like Daniel!"
An hour after Friz left, Bara was compressing her cheeks and lips with ice cubes while waiting for the scheduled board meeting to begin in a few minutes.
"Do I need to buy anti-pain medication, sir?" morgan asked worriedly when he saw Bara's left cheek slightly swollen with an injured lip.
Bara shook his head weakly, he would take the hardest hit from Friz and Roni because he was guilty. As a man who used to vent his frustration with violence, Bara understood for sure Roni and Friz were now relieved. It's okay though that Bara is hurt, the most important thing right now is to focus on Kyra and her baby. Bara does not want to pass the request of the father arbitrarily. Bara doesn't love Kyra yet, but Bara loves their baby.
Arrive meeting hours. The managers make presentations regarding their bimonthly reports in front of the Board of Commissioners. Bara, who was sitting next to Friz, kept quiet and watched the managers take turns reporting their duties.
At the very end of the seat, Edy was watching Bara and Friz alternately with probing gazes. He had heard the shocking news about Bara from Valeria last night, it was certain that the freezing atmosphere between Father and son occurred because of the events yesterday afternoon. Edy smiled wryly. Apparently, she's more embarrassing than she is. As an experienced man, how could such a sloppy Bara impregnate a child of people! Edy was inexhaustible and still astonished himself.
Three hours after the meeting ended, Edy deliberately waited for Bara to ask the news. He waited patiently until Bara finished greeting and greeting all the board of commissioners. As one of the shareholders, Edy is also entitled to be respected in this company, right?
"Bara," called Edy as her cousin passed by without greeting her first.
Bara's steps came to a halt, he turned a glance at Edy's chair. "What's wrong?" the question is short because it does not want to linger spending time.
Edy got up from his chair and approached Bara.
"How's your baby, huh?" edy laughs with a scornful look.
Bara's gaze turned cold, both of his hands clenching rapidly.
Bugs. Pork!
A punch soared across Edy's face that he staggered to the table and fell hard.
"Damnn you! How dare you hit me!" Edy got up after wiping the blood that poured from her lips.
Morgan who was surprised by Bara's blow to Edy could only panic. Everyone had already walked out of the meeting room, there were only the three of them in this large and soundproofed room.
After Edy stood up, a fight was inevitable. The two hit each other and beat up to make the table and chair tamburat messy. Morgan did not dare to approach because the two human gazes seemed to say they did not want to be disturbed. After quite a long fight and running out of energy, Bara got up with a blue face full of blood on his lips, nose and temples.
"Once again you make fun of my son, I'll make sure your life is over!"
