Tonight Zafier plans to discuss his departure to Indonesia with Alex. Zafier feels 7 months is enough for him to manage this company, especially if Alex has undergone a recovery period after a kidney transplant surgery for 2 months. Adriea has also fulfilled her promise to more seriously study the management and ins and outs of the company on Zafier.
After the family dinner, Zafier had a serious conversation with Alex in the study.
"What's Oom's condition?", asked Alex.
"It's been better after almost 2 months of Zafier's recovery" Alex said.
"Oom, next week I plan to go back to Amsterdam, there's some business there. After the business in Amsterdam is finished, I plan to go to Indonesia to finish some business there. It has been more than 5 years that I have not set foot in my homeland Oom. It's time I became a filial son, handling all things related to my daddy's business" explained Zafier.
"It's been too long since I escaped Oom. Now it's time I have to face daddy's request. If all the problems in Indonesia can be resolved according to my predictions, then I can settle down and run all my business in Amsterdam quietly" Zafier said.
Alex stared at Zafier. Alex seems to mind taking Zafier off. But Alex knows that he is unlikely to hold Zafier longer at Roterdam.
"Have you turned down my offer to become the CEO of the Port of Rotterdam? daddy's company, your grootvader" asked Alex.
"There's still Adriea Oom, your eldest daughter, that's her right, I can't possibly take over. Daddyku is also a fairly large company owner with many branches in Indonesia. It's been a long time since he asked me to return to my homeland to replace his position, but I still don't want to because I'm still focused on developing my own company in Amsterdam, I can't just leave my company." said Zafier.
"I hope Oom can understand my position. Adriea has changed anyway, please give her Oom's trust", Zafier said.
Alex breathed his breath out violently. His eyes looked at Zafier expectantly.
"Of Zafier, there are still doubts in my heart, I'm afraid that the company that was pioneered by daddy suffered a setback later on because of Adriea's incompetence in managing it" Alex said, looking desperate.
"Ooh. Come on Oom, don't worry like that, Adriea's changed. He showed me his sincerity. I promise if anything happens to the company, I will do my best, I will give all the resources available to save the company. Oom don't have to worry" said Zafier trying to convince Alex.
"I hold your word and promise Zafier" Alex said trying to believe things would be okay after Zafier's death.
"Zafier while you're here, what about your company? You've been here almost 7 months. It wasn't a minute" asked Alex curiously.
"There's Gavin Oom. Gavin's ability is almost on par with mine. I started the company from scratch with Gavin Oom. Gavin is someone I can trust a lot. That's why I can calmly leave the company for so long. Besides, there's a Gwen family-owned company overseeing in Amsterdam. The Gwen family already considered me as their son. Grootmoeder Gwen already thinks of me as their granddaughter. If there is a problem with my company, they will contact me immediately" Zafier explained at length.
"You should be grateful to have a friend that you can trust Zafier" Alex said.
"What if Alex you're assigned to my company after Zafier's death?", asked Alex again.
"I'll think about Oom after all my business is done" replied Zafier again.
Alex was calm with Zafier's statement.
"Zafier.", Alex seemed hesitant to continue his conversation.
"Yes Oom?", asked Zafier looking at Alex fixedly.
"Hmm... When are you going to give up your single life? Do you have a future wife?", asked Alex again.
Zafier choked, 'Oh no, not again', he lamented inwardly.
Zafier breathed his breath out violently. Zafier is uncomfortable with Alex's questions, but Zafier still appreciates his mommy brother. Zafier tried to smile to cover his discomfort.
"I still haven't thought about it, Oom. I'm still trying to find Gwen" Zafier replied.
"Ooh well Zafier, I hope you find her soon, otherwise Oom's friends have beautiful daughters" Alex said.
Zafier and Alex's conversation is over. Alex rushed to his room to get some rest. While Zafier headed for the back garden to breathe fresh air.
Suddenly Zafier's phone rang. A row of the father's mobile number filled the screen of his phone. Zafier pressed the on button.
"Hello dady, how are you?", asked Zafier.
"I'm still the same as I used to be, it'll only be fine if my only son accompanies me" Zaki replied.
Zafier just smiled at Zaki's innuendo.
"Ooh please dad." said Zafier.
"Daddy would know, if I'd only come home if daddy had found Gwen. But there is a daddy instead first find a mother-to-be for me", complained Zafier.
"Ha ha ha, then I have to how Fier, I'm tired of waiting for you to come home and accompany me. I feel alone without sharing friends. So I decided to find a life-sharing friend" Zaki said without burden.
"But like a good daddy, I need an assessment from my son, whether or not the woman deserves to be my Istiku" Zaki added.
"As a good daddy, you should look for my future wife, not your future wife, ha ha ha" Zafier joked.
"I've offered you a lot of women, and you just want your Gwen" Zaki complained.
"Isn't that mommy's will, dad" Zafier said.
"Hmm. I hope one day you can find your Gwen. Don't let you be an old bachelor" joked Zaki.
"So how is Alex now?, has he recovered a hundred percent? Can you leave?", asked Zaki.
"Daddy can't wait to marry that woman?", seduced Zafier.
"Dad you dared to tease your own dady", Zaki wrote.
"Ha ha ha.. I don't dare daddy", Zafier laughed.
"So when are you going to Indonesia? I will adjust my schedule, so if you return to my homeland, I will cancel all my business trips abroad" said Zaki.
"Maybe around the end of next month" Zafier replied.
"Next week I'm going to Amsterdam and I have a meeting with my business relations that Gavin cannot represent. After that, I have to make sure that all my corporate affairs in Amsterdam are safe and in control, before I go to Indonesia" Zafier said.
"Dad, if you're married, can you make a sister for me as the successor to your company, so there's no need to wait for me to continue the company" Zafier said without a burden.
"If you wait for your brother to grow up, the company that I started to hunt is destroyed by Fier" Zaki replied with a laugh.
Zafier laughed at Zaki's words.
"Well dad, I'll call me if there's a change of plans" Zafier said.
The phone call ended.
