The Love I Don't Miss
Part 138 (Down! Really Falling! )

Time keeps passing... At that time the wall clock had shown at 2 pm. Which is another hour is the time for the Senior High School to leave the school.

But between the time that runs, among the students who are taking lessons, there is a girl who first left her class and was about to leave school. It is not without reason that the girl left school.

Clarice began to descend the stairs back to approach her parents who had been waiting in the lobby of the school building with their new friends, especially for Mommy Calina, who was none other than the two Arsenic parents.

There, in the iron chairs lined up, his parents were with both Arsenic parents were chatting. I don't know what they're talking about. When he came, everyone looked at him. As if talking about himself.

"Daddy. Mommy's! Cla is ready to go home!" clarice.

"Well, we should all go home." replied Kenzo.

"Yes!" nathan replied, who immediately got up from his seat and was followed by the women.

After having a good night, everyone immediately walked away from the Alexander International School building together.

"Don't hesitate to chat with me, huh.." Rania told Calina as they walked towards 2 parked luxury cars.

"Yes, of course!" calina walked in front of Rania.

the two had just exchanged mobile numbers. To establish silahturahmi, even though there is no business relationship whatsoever.

Clarice chose to walk alongside Daddy on appeal next to Mommy. The girl was not ready to be lectured at length by the super duper chatty Mommy, but also super affectionate to herself and her sisters.

"Daddy.. later if Mommy scolds Cla, Daddy defends Cla, yes!" whispered Clarice looked up, looking at the father who was 25 cm higher than her.

"Yes, Honey!" replied the Daddy gently rubbing the top of the girl's head. "When you stand up for the truth, Daddy will stand in the front row to defend you."

"Thank you, Daddy..." Clarice embraced Daddy Kenzo's arm warmly and spoiled.

While Mommy Calina shook her head slowly. She overheard what the princess was talking to her husband.

It's possible, none of this would have ended like this, if that had come Papa Zio. In addition Afrizal may be able to insult Zio who is only a General Manager, also certainly Afrizal could easily threaten behind Zio who incidentally only employees.

But lucky Clarice, because the one in contempt of her mother, not her biological father. So that comes is the number one person in the Adhitama Group. And easily made the rival topsy-turvy unclear until this moment.

Meanwhile, in the BK room there are still Zuria's parents and Zuria herself who seem to still negotiate with the school. I feel the punishment this time is very heavy. And again for the first time they were called to school for a case. And unfortunately, the first case of Zuria directly concerns one of the biggest investors in the company founded by the father.

To be able to take the midterm exam, really the conditions given by the school for them sound very heavy. If to be heard it is very heavy, especially to be done by an Afrizal?

Because the opponent is not just any opponent. Can't really make himself lift his chin even a little bit.

"Maybe Mrs. Maria could have made another choice... For example, Zuria must clean the school area during the suspension period... Or whatever!" afrizal Advice.

"Daddy!" exclaimed Zuria who immediately disagreed with the advice given by the father. "Zu won't!" zuria firmly with a half-stomping tone towards the Father. "Zu will never want to clean up this school! so embarrassing, Daddy!"

Of course, he would be very embarrassed if he had to clean the school area. Even in the hidden part. For Zuria cleaning the school area is the task of Cleaning Service. And all of his friends at this school are the children of the rich, who on average never hold a broom, mop and also a rag.

And if he gets that kind of punishment, what does the world say? He never even did the job in his three-story house.

"Zu's? shhhh!" Gita turns to her daughter and asks her to shut up without a fight.

Because if until the request of the father in the ACC by the school, of course it is in a sense much easier to carry out. Instead of having to beg and seduce a Kenzo Adhitama. The cold CEO who is always firm and strict with any affairs. It was definitely heavier than conquering the hungry king of the forest.

If the lion is hungry in the throw of one deer may be silent and full. But Kenzo Adhitama? Given all the shares owned by Afrizal, of course, will not necessarily be interested in allowing the princess to take the exam. Because Kenzo already has a stake multiplied from that owned by an Afrizal.

"I'm sorry, sir, our duty is to punish in accordance with the applicable regulations" Mrs replied. Maria. "And as for the punishment that falls coinciding with the time of the midterms, it is their fault, why should they act when approaching the midterms. Where should they focus more on learning."

"It needs to be understood from here, sir. Actually we do not give the opportunity for Zuria to take the exam during the suspension period. Faiz.

"And if indeed Zuria was insistent on wanting to take the exam, her choice was only one. Apologies and permission from Mr. Kenzo and his family. Given Zuria who first brought the parents in their problems both, and latai with sentences that are not worth giving to any parents." continued Mr. Faiz.

"We felt that the school never taught the students to talk about people using ugly and inappropriate words. Especially for those who are older. And what Zuria did was completely contrary to what we taught.

"But Mr. Faiz, I'm sure! you've all heard of Kenzo Adhitama from the Adhitama Group, and everyone knows dealing with him is not easy." explains Gita who sits next to her daughter.

"Well, that's why, ma'am. If you already know dealing with Mr. Kenzo Adhitama is not an easy thing, you and the Madam should be able to warn her daughter not to deal with the Kenzo Adhitama family" explained Mr. Faiz. "Especially carrying a wife who has certainly been loved very much by Mr. Kenzo.

"But our daughter is 17, Mr! he doesn't know too much about Kenzo Adhitama." elak Afrizal.

"Look, Mister... Zuria firmly and loudly called Kenzo Adhitama, it means she knows who Kenzo Adhitama is, that is, the father of one of the students at this school, Clarice" replied Mrs. Maria. "I'm also sure Mr and Mrs know that Mr. Kenzo Adhitama's eldest daughter is attending school here."

"At least tell your daughters and Lady to avoid dealing with Mr. Kenzo's children, if it is for you and Mrs, they are a family that could threaten your family, Mr..."

Afrizal shook his head slowly, "It's not that easy, Mr!" reply fretted.

"I'm sorry, sir... We are the same, it cannot be that easy to violate the legal regulations that have been set in this school." replied Mrs. Maria. "For that, we beg for the Master and Madam to understand our position..."

Afrizal turned to his wife and Zuria who looked very moody and angry at what happened. Gita gave a small nod, and only Afrizal understood what the wife meant.

"Can we go through the private line?" tanya Afrizal gave an ultimatum which was a code.

"What do you mean, sir?" ask Mr. Faiz felt troubled by the disciple's question.

Sontak Mr. Faiz and Mrs. Mary looked at each other. This kind of thing is very often they encounter when dealing with people with money who on average want to enjoy it. Without struggling and trying to get what they want.

"Whatever you ask we will give, as long as Mr. and Mrs. give the exam question sheet to my son" said Afrizal. "50 million? 100 million? 200 Million I will give you, Mr. if my son can take the exam!" continued bidding.

In these places and problems, the offer will be even higher. Not like when bargaining in the market. Where buyers want to bid at the lowest price.

Smile faintly, Mr. Faiz looked back at the husband and wife who immediately sighed when the teacher turned to them with a thin, friendly smile.

It finally worked, thought the two of them. So did Zuria who expected the same.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kenzo, if you'd known to me that we, as representatives of the school, would have taken bribes from Mr and Mrs. Kenzo would have sued us!" said Mr. Faiz.

"And it could be that the demand will be greater than what you offer.." continued Mrs. Maria flatly rejected Afrizal's offer.

"Not to mention if the principal finds out about this fraud, other than us being fired, we'll go to jail too!" sahut Mr's. Faiz again.

"So until here I hope that Mr and Mrs understand our intentions..." Mrs. Mary tried to end the bargaining action that Afrizal and his wife had offered.

"We keep it a secret! only we know, Mr.!" Afrizal does not want to give up. "I'm adding, so 500 million!"

"we will reject 2 billion, sir! Because cheating at this school will always be strictly followed. Not only for students, but also for teachers who work in this school.

"You yourself are afraid of Mr. Kenzo, we are the same, Sir! instead we are educators who have been sworn by the principal to not accept bribes or commit fraud in any form. If Mr. Kenzo finds out, not only are we in trouble, but Mr, Madam and Zuria themselves will also be affected!"

Sontak two faces that had sumringah now back sour and pale. It was destroyed by their hopes. There was no more door for them to be able to make their daughter take the midterms. Let alone in the UKS, in a hidden location they can not get.

"We as teachers also want to remind the Master and Madam, so as not to spoil the children too much. Don't teach them bribery, sir... It will make them spoiled and unwilling to work hard to achieve what they want."

The couple took a long breath. In addition to feeling helpless, he also felt embarrassed, because his offer was rejected by the school.

"It is better that Mr and Mrs leave this room immediately, because we have to go back to work." said Mrs. Mary was courteous and full of caution. "Because the principal will be coming to evaluate the case soon, sir.." he continued without prejudice to the respect of the student guardians who have just offered something that is indeed tempting to anyone.

"Alright, we'll excuse you." said Afrizal to represent his family.

The bad reality is in sight. With a careless step, the three people walked out of the BK room. Meanwhile, Zuria, with her disappointment immediately shot into her classroom to pick up her bags and school supplies to go home with her parents.

***

Afrizal and Gita wait for their daughter in a special guest parking lot. There was only their car there. Two white cars owned by Kenzo and Jonathan are no longer in their respective places. Obviously, they must have left the school area quickly.

Standing in front of the rear passenger door that opened while waiting for the arrival of the princess, Afrizal's phone rang loudly, a sign of a call coming into his personal number.

Soon he grabbed the phone in his pants pocket. And see who's calling him. Because if it's not too important it will definitely not make a personal call, to a number that is not too much in people know.

"Who, Dad?" ask Gita who is already sitting in one of the passenger seats behind the driver.

"Romi.." murmured Afrizal read the name of the caller.

"Let's go, Dad!" sahut Gita with a little lethargy. Disappointed because the princess failed to take the midterm exam, making Gita feel tired himself thinking in the future what will be like.

Imagining the princess getting a blank score in the midterm exam, it is enough to contain Gita felt failed to educate her child.

Afrizal swiped the green button on his phone screen. And the voice of Romi the personal assistant was heard from there. Not even Romi spoke, Afrizal's premonition was bad first. I don't know what the assistant will say. Hopefully not about bad things.

"Hello, Rom?" afrizal answered pointing the phone at his right ear. "What's wrong?"

"Sir, Adhitama Group withdraws all shares that they have planted on you!" report the Assistant in a panicked voice instead of a bitch.

Over there, the assistant trust Afrizal pounded uncharacteristically. The heart is like a rock, when someone known as Personal Assistant Kenzo Adhitama sends an email containing an official letter from the CEO of Adhitama Group, if they withdraw all their shares.

What the Assistant thought of the first time was his fate ahead. Adhitama shares are not playing games in the company of the boss. Reach 20% of the total shares managed by Afrizal.

If 20% is taken by the Adhitama Group, there are still 80. But what happened was... If the Adhitama Group withdraws its shares like this, it is certain that other investors will come to think again, and can help withdraw their shares because they consider the Afrizal company is experiencing a monetary crisis.

Because the original shares belong to Afrizal only about 30. Adhitama Group and one other company own the second largest share of 20% each%. And the other 30% are shares of some other Investors.

And that reality can make the fate of the Assistant will be swayed like floating on the open ocean. There is no direction and purpose. Just follow where the saltwater current will take it. To the beach, huh? or just cross the ocean until he has hypothermia and might die, like Jack in the famous movie Titanic, who had to die of cold in the Atlantic Ocean.

But that's where the Assistant's loyalty will be tested. Will they stick with the circumstances that make them have to prepare to fight with the boss.

"A...WHAT'S?" pekik Afrizal heard the worst news he had predicted could happen. And it turned out that the conjecture happened much faster than his prediction.

This is a terrible accident for the businessman. The world seemed to collapse on his head which had been standing upright, because he felt he had a business partner who was famous for flying hours that were not playing games.

And Mr. Adhitama is one of the Investors he has been proud of, and he always called everywhere he told about the business he was developing. Because not all entrepreneurs have the opportunity to be a business partner Mr. Aditama in his time.

But now the name, and other Investors seem to disappear one by one with the pull of the shares of Adhitama Group. Then he'll be a. yes, poor.

Adhitama Group, a large company whose influence is too extraordinary in the eyes of the businessmen of the country. They will not hesitate to become a business with that company. Under the leadership of extraordinary leaders, making the Adhitama Group more and more years, it will be more prosperous and global.

"Tell me if you're lying!" jerk the businessman to the personal assistant who can now only circle his work space with uneasiness. The laptop screen still shows the official letter he received from Venom.
