The Love I Don't Miss
Part 152 (Day on Wednesday )
Discussions that are not just any discussion occur on one side of the special room meeting foreign guests or who have no business relationship with the Adhitama Group.
A special room without doors, which there is only a partition in the form of one frosted glass wall, making one side can be easily seen by those who have access to enter the office space on the top floor. One of them is Zio, part of the company's board.
The conversation that can be said hot chatter is getting hotter with the presence of the figure of Zio Alvaro, the General Manager of Adhitama Group. The other and not the real father of Clarice.
Which can be guessed, if it will not be accepted if someone insults his child with a variety of words and sentences that hurt. As a father, his emotions are certainly no less great than those shown by Kenzo Adhitama, as the father continued the princess.
The difference is that he does not have as much power as Kenzo Adhitama in stock and business matters. But he knows a lot about the company and also business partners who work with the company. One of them he knows quite well the figure of Mahardhika, one of the entrepreneurs who supply cosmetics and food ingredients in Java.
Kenzo, Zio and Mahardhika are certainly much more familiar with their children's friends since sitting in Junior High School. So that their relationship is not only because of business, but also good friendship.
Moreover, Zio and Mahardhika are in the same area, only different housing. The two often met and talked about many things. So do not be surprised if Zio knows, if Mahardhika also has a stake in ARL Express.
"As far as I know Mahardhika is also investing in the company, I don't know how many percent" Zio said in an intimidating tone, and it could really make Afrizal and his wife belittle in disbelief.
"You sure?" kenzo asked Zio who was sitting with a fixed gaze on Afrizal on the sofa where the businessman was sitting.
"Yes, Sir! I'm so sure!" zio replied staring with complete confidence at Kenzo.
Kenzo smiled in anguish. Staring cynically at the half-century man who was ready to fall poor in front. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Afrizal will be easier to fall.
"You know, my relationship with Mahardhika is very good." said Kenzo stared intently at Afrizal. "If he knows I'm pulling my shares, then don't expect him to stick with the shares he planted in your company."
"Master... We beg...help us, sir.." said Gita softly. "Don't make our lives fall apart and fall apart..."
The look on the woman's face was really slick. It had never been imagined in his mind, if he would plead like this in the presence of someone who was even much younger in their appeal.
In his mind all this time his life will be fine. Then can leave the already successful business to his children. Moreover, the eldest will soon return from abroad because he finished college.
But what happened yesterday to this day really opened their eyes wide. It is not easy to hold the world. That it is not easy to maintain a position that is considered safe. All destroyed by just one small mistake that had a huge impact.
"From the story I just heard, it doesn't seem like Mr. Kenzo ruined your lives. But it's you yourself." said Zio felt unacceptable with the phrase Gita's plea that makes no sense. Worried that Kenzo changed his mind, he immediately said so.
"Zio, right!" venom Sahut. "You do it. Why do you say Mr. Kenzo ruined your life?"
"And without Zio reminding me too, I would never change my mind! I will still withdraw my shares." said Kenzo firmly and without hesitation. Even without mercy. "If you had seduced my Papa yesterday, I would never have changed my mind!" Kenzo resolute.
The husband and wife looked back at each other again, not expecting Kenzo to know their presence at the residence of Adhitama, the founder of Adhitama Group.
"Whoever insults my wife and children, I make sure they will regret saying such a sentence." continued Kenzo in a flat tone, but sounded very creepy in anyone's ears.
Especially for a couple who are restless and restless, because it has been viewed unfriendly by a Kenzo Adhitama.
"You'd better get out of this building" said Kenzo flat and seemingly ordinary. "Don't waste your time on something that won't pay off." he continued by exorcising it subtly but piercingly.
"At least we beg you, give our daughter a chance to take the exam, sir." Gita said once again.
"We promised to move the school after this." continued Afrizal assured.
"Why don't you guys just move now? than you like beggars like this!" sahut Zio's.
"School regulations can't get students out when exams are going, or are going on." replied Gita. "While the midterms at Alexander's school are empty, the next school will be just as empty, sir..."
"And I don't care!" kenzo said firmly that he was getting tired of useless chatter like this. "I still have a lot of work to do!" he continued to move from the sofa. "You'd better go home! but if you still want to be here. Yeah, whatever!" kenzo said as he walked off the couch, and out of the room.
"Master!" afrizal exclaimed and immediately chased after Kenzo and rested at Kenzo's feet by hugging the legs of the typical level of the bule. "Please, Mr. Kenzo help us!" afrizal said with great sadness. "Allow Zuria to take the midterms, sir... Please don't ruin his education, sir.. Mr. Kenzo may destroy our company, but please help Zuria's report value not to be empty."
A Father, willingly begged even to hug the feet of a man even younger than him. Just to make up for the mistakes of the child who had been wrongly cared for by him. And in that way he pleaded for the future of the princess who was very greedy.
Everyone in the room turned to Afrizal, hugging the left leg of their CEO. Zio, Venom, the secretary and also a cleaning service who was cleaning the top floor of the building.
Kenzo, whose legs were locked without being able to move due to Afrizal, stood up holding all the anger in his chest. He took a deep breath, slowly stopping him. Hopefully his anger will be well controlled.
He looked straight ahead. Not one bit he saw his legs being embraced by a man older than him.
"Stand up.." said Kenzo after feeling more relaxed.
"Please help us first, sir... Help Zuria.." said Afrizal pleading.
"Stand.." Kenzo said a second time. Still with a flat tone and remain without looking at Afrizal.
"Please Mr. promise first." beg Afrizal.
"I SAID STAND UP!" yelled Kenzo to make Kenzo's secretary, Cleaning service, and Gita jump in shock.
Reflexes, Afrizal was immediately toppled backwards when he heard Kenzo's voice that sounded like the screams of the ceremonial leader. Making both palms as a buffer for his body's burden.
"Are you deaf, huh?" kenzo asked, looking at Afrizal who was still back. Stare sharply at the man he already considers to have lost his pride.
Kenzo Adhitama, the intelligent, assertive and determined CEO, hates anyone who prostrates himself easily in front of him.
Not only on him, but he hated people who easily dropped his pride by worshiping people who were considered more influential. Begging in a way that is inappropriate for fellow human beings.
"I ask you to stand up! And I don't like repeating orders!" kenzo said in a tone that sounded very cold and very sharp.
"You think the way you hold my leg, I'm gonna change my mind and pull out everything I've said?" asked Kenzo with sharp eyes. "No will! Afrizal!" kenzo is sure.
Afrizal lowered his head deeply, enduring the shame of also bearing the weight of the world that was about to collapse on his fist right now.
Kenzo turned around and stepped back. "Go! I don't want to see your face on this floor anymore!" he said without looking at Afrizal a second time.
Everyone under the auspices of the Adhitama Group looked at Afrizal and his wife with various kinds of eyes.
Someone stared at me with a sad look. Like the cleaning service's gaze on duty. As a Cleaning service, of course, the person is very unusual to see this kind of thing happen. Where one businessman pleads with another businessman.
There were also those who looked at Afrizal with satisfied gazes, like Zio. He was very satisfied that his son's insult received a reply that was far more poignant than he had expected. He even smiled in anguish at Kenzo's treatment of Afrizal.
Some were staring flatly and a little pity, that was the gaze of secretary Kenzo who was still sitting in his chair.
And the most unconcerned look in the room was Venom. A dozen years into Kenzo's personal assistant, it was common to see this kind of thing happen before his eyes. He had often seen a sycophant pleading with his master.
Added to the cold attitude of the Assistant, making anyone unable to read what the Assistant was thinking.
"Call security and tell them to take them out!" venom told Kenzo's secretary.
***
Leaving the top floor of the Adhitama Group building that was going on an incredible drama between the CEO and his former co-workers that afternoon, then the day has changed.
Tired yesterday, missed last night. When you close your eyes between the dark sky with an infinite number of stars. Until finally the Sun again greet the Earth, and activity in the afternoon must be lived again, to feel tired again in the afternoon.
Today is Wednesday, H-1 before the midterms start. Which means today Clarice is still in suspension.
When people are busy with activities outside the house along with the sun that is increasingly crawling up, the girl is busy in her room. Choose to live out the last day of his sentence by studying and studying.
"It should be discussed today!" murmured Clarice as she opened the books on mathematics.
"Later in the afternoon I'll ask the tutor!" mumbling again.
Already an hour ago he was struggling with a book of Mathematics at his study table. Before that, he had also finished working on the Science problem given by his private tutor. As a guide to preparing for the midterm tomorrow.
Tired of the subjects she was in, Cla chose to get out of the room, he walked closer to the stairs that lead to the rooftop. On a scorching midday, the rooftop will feel very hot for now.
But Cla kept climbing the stairs, only he ended up on the sofa that was still in the room.
Rooftop residence Kenzo Adhitama is made like a cafe with abundant lights and will be perfect if the night. Rooftop connects to indoor, with thick glass wall restrictions.
In the corner of the room there is a mini bar that is commonly used to make drinks or prepare everything to complement their relaxing moments in the rooftop.
Carrying the phone in his hand and a laptop, Cla sat on a long sofa facing a glass wall that led to the rooftop. Putting the laptop on the table, Cla immediately turned on and found the latest Korean drama.
Well, young people are enjoying other hobbies besides chatting with the opposite sex.
And when it's only halfway through the episode, the phone rings. Hanna's name appeared there. Cla frowned. Then glance at the clock in the upper left corner of the phone screen.
"It's time to take a break apparently." he muttered while sliding the blue button with the camera image upwards.
In channel Video Call ...
"Hi!" cla once saw Hanna's face on her phone screen.
"Hi!" reply Hanna. "How's your day off, Cla?" hanna asked who was seen in the school cafeteria.
"What holiday! a day full of bad records!" clarice's protest disagreed.
"Huhah!" gelak Hanna and also accompanied by two men whose voices he very familiar.
"A lunch together?" cla asked who currently chose to lie on the sofa. Put his head on a cushioned sofa cushion, after turning off the drama he was turning.
"Yes! you're right, honey!"
The answer was heard along with the moving screen until the face of Arsenio Wilson who seemed to be sitting opposite Hanna.
The affectionate call that Arsen made immediately invited the laughter of Naufal and Hanna who heard it.
"Bas on spoiled children!" reply Clarice sneered a handsome face on her phone screen. Then he pursed his lips in disagreement with the call.
"Haha!" gelak Arsen heard and saw Clarice's voice that sounded adorable, especially in her ears.
"What do you want video call?" ask Clarice to Arsen. "You're showing off, you can eat together, and I'm alone here?" ask Clarice.
"Of course not to show off." replied Arsen who was facing Hanna's phone.
"It just doesn't feel exciting because there's no you." said Hanna.
"Today the school will be home early because tomorrow is the exam, so later we will go back to school, may the three of us play to your house?" ask Arsen directly at their destination to make a video call to Clarice.
"For what?" cla asked her frown.
"Looks like we should study together, Cla!" naufal said that his face appeared partially on Cla's phone screen. Obviously the young man was sitting next to Arsen.
"Yes, come here!" clarice answered, Deciding.
"Eh, take Vino along, gih!" sahut Hanna who will not forget her comrades in arms as an athlete student.
The deg!
Vino's name sounded so different in Clarice's ears. There was something crawling within the deepest recesses of his heart. Is it true that the young man will come to his house for the first time?
"Can you, Cla?" ask Hanna.
"A..." Cla hung up his sentence. Seemed confused to make a decision. If he could, he would answer yes. But...
"No, yeah?" ask Hanna again.
"Emmm! I can!" answer Cla quickly. "Mommy and Daddy never forbid my friends to come and visit my house! as long as I let you!"
"All right! I'll tell Vino!" sahut Naufal's.
"OKay! we'll be here four days later, okay!" sahut Arsen who controls the camera screen.
"Yes, yes." replied Clarice nervously.
"Yes, we have to go back to class. At 1 school will be home, and we will slide straight to your house." said Arsen.
"Yes.." answered Cla flatly with a flick of her slanted lips.
"Bye, honey.." seduced by Arsen.
"Don't be insolent, you spoiled child!" cla spray.
"Haha!" arsen's laughter ended their brief conversation.
The girl's heart beats faster. Though it is not clear yet Vino will be right to come if not. Even if it did come, what about her who was dressed for what it was?
