My name is Ayu
Chapter 47

"Pa, already... Shame to see many. Let's just talk inside." Mama Lia tried to relieve Papa's anger even though her hand had Papa tepis.

Papa breathed out in annoyance. His wife's words have a point, too. He will make his own good name shame if he had a big fight with his biological son and seen many people. Anyway he's an important person. He doesn't want bad rumors about him to spread by word of mouth.

"Come in! We're talking inside!" he ordered in a cold and heavy voice. This is one of those words that can no longer be disputed.

Mama Lia looked down at me and Dio. Signaled that we should follow Papa's will and finish it inside.

Mom and Dad went inside the house. Dio turned around and looked at his friends.

"I'm sorry, I talked to my dad first. You guys just rest first." Dio then walked inside. In front of me he stretched out his hand and I held Dio's hand. My grip is one of the forces in the face of trials.

"We face it together, Yu. Even if the final decision will weigh on both of us. I'm sure we can." I nodded giving Dio my support.

Papa was sitting with his hands folded on his chest. Mama just sat quietly beside him, Mama did not dare to say anything that would even make Papa more emotional.

"Sit you!" Papa's orders. Dio and I sat in the chair opposite Papa.

"How many people order furniture with you?" Papa's interrogation begins.

"One, Pa. It's the second time." replied Dio calmly. His hand still holds my hand tightly. Papa's eyes glanced towards the grasp of both of our hands.

"How many orders this time?"

"20 pcs."

Papa frowned. There was shock in the look of her eyes that was read by me. He certainly does not believe that the ability of his son to make furniture is appreciated by others, even to order a lot as well.

"Why did you take the order? You know that Papa's gonna be pissed if he finds out you took it?" Papa's voice began to sound full of pressure.

"Because this is the first time anyone has appreciated Dio's work, Pa."

"Don't Papa ever appreciate your work?!" Papa started to get emotional again.

"Honestly, Pa. No." Papa looked at us more and more sharply. My hands started to dry because I started to tremble in the face of Papa's anger.

"Newly diomelin in public only your guts have been shrunk. How do you lead Papa's big company?" Papa's words even make Dio more emotional.

"Dio never wanted Papa's company. Never, Pa. Papa who always forces Dio to obey all Papa's wishes. Papa's reason is always that Dio will continue Papa's company later. That's not Dio's passion, Pa!"

"Then if you don't continue Papa's company what about the company? It's good to say you don't want to inherit the company. Fucking kid. Think you! Who will lead the company? There are thousands of employees hanging their lives in Papa's company. There are families to feed. If you don't continue to lead Papa, what about the fate of them and their families?" Dio looked up and heard Papa's words. He never thought that far.

"Why? Just realized you now? You want to say that just leave leadership to Management? Heh brat, however Management is an outsider. Papa was the one who founded this company from the beginning. There's no love Papa has for the company. Management only cares about their own benefits, not even reluctant to mem-PHK employees who have considered Papa's own family. Want your company to fall on greedy people like them?"Dio shook his head. He felt overwhelmed by the words of Papa. No words of resistance were spoken from his mouth. His father is completely right. He bears responsibility for the stomachs of thousands of his employees.

"And now all you do is mess with furniture instead of focusing on working and studying in the company. How will Papa hand over the responsibilities at Papa's company to you?"

"Dio don't mess around, Pa. Like Papa who founded the company from scratch. Dio wants to be like Papa. Establish a company from scratch that will be able to support many people. We're the same, Pa. Both have good purpose. What's wrong with Papa supporting Dio's efforts? Dio promises to stay focused on working at Papa's company. But let Dio also set up his own Dio Pa."

Papa's speechless. He was thinking about Dio's words. Actually Dio reminded him of his youth first. His soul was struggling to start a company. He didn't want Dio to wake up like he used to. He just wants his son and wife to live comfortably from the results of his efforts since young.

Papa breathed a heavy breath. It is a difficult decision to make now. "You are not the typical child who will obey every word Papa. Good. Papa will give you a choice. You still lead the company or the company will Papa leave it to Om Lim, Papa's own younger brother?"

Dio immediately responded quickly to Papa's words. "Pa, why does it have to be Om Lim? Do you know what Om Lim is? Om Lim is greedy and likes gambling, his company just destroyed because of his gambling debts everywhere. How will our employees be? Papa said that if Papa thought about their fate, why would Papa leave it to Om Lim?"

Papa smiled grinning. He knew that Dio was already in his plans. "So you don't want Papa handing over the company to Om Lim?"

Dio shook his head confidently. He knows his Om character.

"That means you're going to take over the leadership of the company, right?"

"Yes. But on the condition that Dio can while pioneering his own business Dio. Dio will try to run both in line. Ayu will help in Dio's personal business management, Pa."

Papa smiled again. How I'm so horrified, I think I'm going to drop the bomb with that smile. Smile full of cunning.

"OKAY. You have a condition, Papa has a condition. Papa will let you take over the company and also run your business. Papa's terms are easy and you'll like it. Marry Sheila. He's Papa's business partner's son. By marrying Sheila, Papa's company is getting bigger, the more employees we can live. How, easy is the condition of Papa? You can have two wives, a boyfriend you've been dating for a long time and also the wife of your last night love affair."
