I'm Young Wife
S2_108'S CHAT. Mahardika

After Alex leaves for the office, Nara also goes to Bisma's office. There are many things that must be prepared for the official handover event. Although Bisma has served as President for quite a long time, but there has been no official announcement.

Bhishma still needs Nathan's approval if he makes a decision. But after the handover has been officially announced, important decisions can be taken by Bhishma directly.

The inauguration of the handover ceremony was just waiting for the day. But the internal problems remain unresolved. Some of the board of directors still objected if Bhishma became their President.

The ability of the bisma is not in doubt. Almost a year of Bhishma's leadership, much progress was made by Mahardika. But the problem is that Bhishma is not Nathan's real son. Although Bisma already has Mahardika as her last name, but still it is in question.

Bhishma himself initially refused. Instead of continuing Nathan's leadership, he chose to set up his own company. Like Bima who can stand on his feet. He really wanted to be like Bima.

He talked to Nathan when he refused when Nathan conveyed his intentions. The heir to Mahardika Grub is Gerry. Not himself.

But Nathan's words always ring in his head.

“Bisma, you know papa never differentiates you from Gerry. Ever since papa married your mother, I have accepted you as my son. My eldest son.”

“I know pa. But I had another dream. I want to build my own Business empire.”

“I know you can do it. But you are my eldest son. I'm an old Bhishma, I've been sickly a lot. I want to enjoy old age with your mama.”

“Hem. Okay pa. But I have a condition.”

“What are your terms?”

“The first condition, this is only temporary. Once Gerry is ready to take over, he will lead this Mahardika Grub. Second condition, let me set up my own company.”

“Good. Papa agrees. You are indeed papa's son who boasts.”

**

“Excuse me sir, Mr. Nathan has arrived. Everyone is also waiting in the meeting room.” Andi's voice broke the Bisma's daydream.

“Good Andi. Let's go over there. This problem should be quickly resolved.” Bisma grabbed her suit. Wearing it while walking out of his room towards the meeting room.

When Bisma just got out of the elevator, Nathan and Nara were also walking towards the meeting room. The three also go hand in hand.

Those faces look serious. They must succeed in convincing the board of directors. Otherwise, there will be disputes and result in the faltering position of Bhishma in the future.

The discourse to make Bhishma as the President of Mahardika is actually not new. Nathan had this idea many years ago. But this is often a heated debate.

Until his peak, Nathan decided unilaterally his plan. Every now and then, that board of directors had to be dealt a slight blow.

The moment the three people entered the meeting room, everyone stood up to greet them. After the three sat down, the new meeting participants could sit back.

“I don't want to measure time. I'll just talk to the point. I have already made my decision. And I stick to my stance that I will appoint Bhishma as President Mahardika Grub.” Nathan sat down handsomely in the chair of leadership. His face dominated strongly.

“What is this not worth thinking about anymore?” one of the men raised his hand.

“Is there a problem with my plan?” nathan said coldly.

“Indeed there is no problem with this change of position. But is lord Bhishma worthy?”

“Bisma has proven its ability to all of you. Can anyone deny it?”

“The ability of Mr. Bhishma is indeed no doubt. But lord Bhishma is not a direct descendant of the Mahardika family.” Excite someone else.

“Huh! Bisma is my eldest son. Indeed, who else is more worthy to be President of this company?”

“There is no Gerry.”

“Do you have no brains? You want Mahardika to be someone else's laughingstock?”

“Or we can choose others more appropriate to hold for a while.”

“In this company, the shares I hold are the largest. Bisma itself owns a ten percent stake here. Bhishma is my son. And as the largest shareholder, I have the right to decide who will sit on the bench of the President.”

No one can oppose. But many of the shareholders objected. They were still whispering with their comrades.

The bisma looked at everyone. He knew that Nathan's decision would definitely be challenged because of his stepson status.

“Pa, let me talk.” Bisma looked at Nathan. Nathan agreed. He was sure that Bhishma had his own plan.

“Because there are still those who feel I am unworthy, how about I give you some time to appoint a candidate more potential than me. The candidate must meet the appropriate conditions. If you can find such a candidate before the inauguration event in five days, I will withdraw with pleasure. How?”

Everyone looked at each other. They might not be able to find such a person. Bhishma is someone who is very worthy to sit in the position of President replacing Nathan.

Nathan is not easy to fight. Moreover, Bisma already bears the name Mahardika as his last name. It looks like Nathan has been preparing Bhishma from the beginning.

But how can love for a stepchild defeat his love for a biological child? At the very least, they think Nathan will be worried that if Bhishma reaches the highest seat, Bhishma will abuse his position and will get rid of Gerry who is the true heir.

“What do you want exactly? You guys don't see the ability of Brother Bisma?” Nara said with annoyance. He was already upset to hear all their protests.

“We are both stepchildren here. But the affection you give us shows that there is something closer than blood. No matter whose blood flows in our bodies, for us Nathanael Geovan Mahardika is our papa.” Nara Said.

“Nara, there is no point in explaining such a thing to people who see everything through possessions and power.” Nathan sneered.

“To dispel doubts, I agree with the proposal of Bhishma. If for the next five days you can't find a good candidate from Bhishma, I don't want to hear you guys are going to have this problem in the future. You guys understand?”

“Good sir. We accept that decision. If in five days we cannot find anyone who surpasses lord Bhishma, we will not interfere with the leadership of lord Bisma.”

“It's good. Alright. The meeting is closed until here. Five more days we meet again to determine the result.” Nathan stand. Code Bhishma and Nara to follow him.

After Nathan, Bisma and Nara left, everyone in the meeting room continued their discussion. They the UK are looking for someone better than Bhishma. They still hoped that the future President would come from their side. So they can also be in control in the future.

After the meeting was over, Nara was already tired. He asked permission to return first. But he did not go straight home, but met Karina. Since the girl saved him, they have often exchanged news through the WhatsApp app.

Nara asks Mr. Farid to take her to Karina. They had already made their lunch at a cafe not far from Karina's hotel.

As soon as Nara entered the cafe, she circulated her eyes. Looking for the whereabouts of Karina who had told him that she had arrived.

“Sorry yes old.” Nara sat in front of Karina.

“I'm also new to kok.” Karina smiled. Seeing Nara that afternoon looked different. Because to the office, he used his formal clothes. With that appearance Nara looked more mature and graceful.

“You look beautiful.” Praise Karina sincerely.

“You are also beautiful.”

“Hahaha. Cute gini from where?” Karina shrugged her shoulders.

“I think you're beautiful. Just a little polish is no less beautiful than famous artists.”

“Hem. Alright. Thank you for entertaining me.” Karina smiled. He still felt that Nara was only praising him for entertaining him.

“Hahaha. I'm really. I'm not lying. Now it is better to order food. I've starved.” Nara rubbed her stomach which had been rumbling since earlier.

Karina nodded and called the waiter. Both ordered food. They both enjoyed lunch while chatting.

“Lusa I want to invite you to come to the celebration of handover ceremony of my sister.” Nara took out an invitation from inside her bag.

Karina opened her invitation. From the invitation alone it looks it is a luxurious party for the upper class. He felt unworthy to join. He flipped through the invitation before opening it.

“Sorry Nara, it looks like I can't come.” With regret Karina rejected him.

“Why?”

“I feel unworthy to be present at the show. The ones that came were all big guys. You see me like this. I'm afraid I'll embarrass you.” Karina researched his appearance. He and Nara are very different.

“I don't accept rejection. And again, my family did not see anyone from his position. Moreover, you are the savior of their daughter. You know, my mom and dad really wanted to see you. But you're always busy.”

“Sorry. But Nara.”

“You just calm down. The day after tomorrow I'll have someone pick you up. I'll also send you a dress to wear later. So there is no reason to reject my invitation.” Cut Nara fast.

“Huh. It'll trouble you.”

“No. Do you really not want to come? You know I'd be sad if you didn't come.” Nara said. Nara currently has no friends. Only Karina whom he considered a close friend. The girl was sincerely friends.
