"Sorry Mr. Zafran, for some reason that I feel disappointed, I will withdraw all my investment from the company" said a middle-aged man by telephone.
"... "
"Retail our meeting tomorrow to discuss this issue, I want this issue to be resolved without any other problems" the man said, ending his call unilaterally.
"How, Sir?" asked a woman who was now twitching the middle-aged man's arm so gently.
"Just calm down, honey. They will know the consequences of having imprisoned my lover, they do not know who they are dealing with," replied the man as he pulled the woman who had been kneeling him into his lap.

"Sorry, Sir. We have a big problem" Agus said after entering Akmal's room.
"What's Agus?" ask Akmal.
"The biggest investor in our company plans to attract all of its investments" Agus said.
"What?"
Not yet lost Akmal's shock due to the news, the sound of the phone ringing now makes him more riled when he saw who was calling him at this time.
"Hello, assalamu 'alaikum, Bang, '" said Akmal.
"Wa'alaikum greetings, what happened, Mal. Why would Mr. Andreas want to revoke all his investments?" ask Zafran across the phone.
"It seems like this is because of my problem with his secretary, Bang," Akmal replied honestly.
"What's your problem with Mr. Andreas' secretary?"
"It's a long story, Bang."
"Alright, meet me at home at 6am tomorrow, you have to explain everything to me."
"Good, Bang."
After greeting each other, their call ended. Akmal squeezed his temple which felt pulsating.
Is this the gift Via meant? If it is, then he and Mr. Andreas are still in a relationship.

The next day after performing dawn prayers in the mosque. Akmal immediately prepared with his office clothes. I walked to the kitchen for breakfast early.
"Well, what's so cool about it, Mom?" ask Aisyah who just finished her cooking.
"I was called Bang Zafran to the house this morning. There is a company issue that we have to discuss" Akmal replied as he sat on the dining table chair.
Aisyah immediately served the food on the table and spooned the rice to the husband's plate. "The problem? Bang Zafran is back?" ask her then after all her affairs are in order.
Akmal looks to be breathing rough. "I'll tell you later after everything's sorted out, baby," she replied.
Aisyah nodded her head understandably. He does not want to force Akmal to tell the problem because he knows very well the character of a man who is very different from a woman if faced with a problem.
If women will choose to tell the problem and hope to get support and attention and occasionally need a solution, in contrast to men who prefer to keep it first, after everything is sorted out then he will tell. In addition to not wanting to give the burden of thought to his partner, he also did not want to look weak because of his problems at that time.
After finishing his breakfast, Akmal finally said goodbye to Aisyah and drove his car to leave his wife at home.

Zafran had just arrived at his house, and immediately decided to go to the study at the house. Not long after, Akmal also arrived and immediately followed Zaftan in his study.
"I'm sorry, Bang, actually Via is my ex-fiancee I told you about, and the middle-aged man that was with her that night was Mr. Andreas." Akmal was silent for a moment to take a breath.
"Until this moment Via tried to return to me, even he almost made my household and Aisyah crack, if only Aisyah did not believe me back then, maybe we had separated."
"And you know what makes me so angry with him? He even gave the medicine per****ng into the Aisyah drink in high doses when we attended the Pak Andreas anniversary event. It was fortunate that night that he passed out right behind me, otherwise I really couldn't imagine what would happen to him." Akmal spoke with a trembling voice.
"Therefore, two days ago I reported him to the police, but it seems he is still in contact with Mr. Andreas so he is so easy to be free and this is what is happening now. I'm sorry, Bang." Akmal was downcast to feel bad for his cousin's sister.
"Astaghfirullah, sorry, I didn't know he was your ex-lover. If I were in your position, I would've done the same thing, Mal. Regarding this company, we leave everything to God." Zafran patted Akmal's shoulder softly which looked so worried.
"Calm down, this morning we will have a meeting with Mr. Andreas, hopefully there is a way out" said Zafran again calm Akmal.
⚓⚓⚓
As per the agreement they made, this morning Akmal, Zafran and the board of directors of shareholders held a meeting with a delegation from Gemilang Group who became the largest investor in Zafran company, PT. ZK.
Talks after talks are now starting to be carried out including the delivery of investment revocation decisions from the Gemilang Group.
"But Mr. Andreas, we're under contract, doesn't that mean you're violating our cooperation contract?" Zafran started talking.
"True Mr. Zafran, and in the letter of the cooperation contract we say that if the first party feels at a disadvantage from cooperation with the second party, then the first party has the right to file a revocation of investment," explained Mr. Andreas.
"Yes right, but in what ways were you harmed? Hasn't our cooperation been mutually beneficial?" ask Zafran.
"Because of some reasons that I cannot mention here, I feel aggrieved," replied Mr. Andreas.
"But Mr ...."
"Our decision has been unanimous" asserted Mr. Andreas who no longer wants to be refuted.
Zafran and Akmal looked at each other and let out a rough breath.
"But I have a little advice if you want your company not to falter after this? said Mr. Andreas.
" What is that?" ask Zafran.
"I'm going to buy 70% of this company's shares and acquire them. How's it?" Isn't that a good and safe idea for your company? You can still produce goods without any constraints, even the marketing reach of your products can be wider" said Mr. Andreas.
Now all the board of directors began to discuss each other, including Zafran and Akmal. Until the results of approval from Zafran.
"Alright, we agree" said Zafran.
-
After the meeting was completed, several procedures were carried out for several days including a meeting again related to the acquisition of shares through the General Meeting of Shareholders. Until officially today Gemilang Group acquired PT. ZK.
"Akmal, it looks like the meeting will be a reshuffle, and our position today will be demoted" Zafran said lethargic as they just arrived in the office lobby.
"Meet? Why don't I know? when's notice?" ask Akmal wonder.
"Last night in the new group chat office," replied Zafran.
Akmal immediately stopped his footsteps. "I don't have a new group chat on my phone, don't you ...." Akmal looked at Zafran guessing what would happen to him in a moment.
As if understanding the meaning of Akmal's gaze, Zafran immediately stepped into Akmal's room. And sure enough, at Akmal's desk there's already a letter in the envelope. In the absence of the envelope and read carefully every word written.
"I'm fired, Bang."
