The Prince
95. Meet Aslan

Delvin was waiting for Kia's answer. Kia looked wrong. 

“Ya.. How do you ask me? Where do I know? Ask them” replied Kia redirecting. 

“Oh..., Denger-denger the hell Mr. Aslan had a relationship with one of the employees in the office here” satirical and whispered Delvin again. 

“Huh?” ask Kia in shock. 

“Huum,” Delvin nodded looking at Kia's expression.

“Oh so huh? Do you know who he is?” kia replied back to ask and somehow Kia even became a nyesek herself.

Don't-don't be right Delvin said, but who? Is there any other woman besides herself and Paul in Aslan's life. And Kia's face was now flushed like a boiled crab. It's okay lest Delvin know Kia's secret.

“So please, not you?” delvin replied, asking.

"Glek," Kia immediately rounded her eyes.

"Gawur you!" kia replied evasively, noticing the many other children in the room. Although the two of them whispered Kia still had to be careful. Kia then escapes from Delvin.

Delvin did not ask any further. Instead of later Kia became suspicious of where Delvin knew. And it could be found out that Delvin once spied on Kia.

It seems like his plan to scrape and catch wet Kia claimed to be unsuccessful. Delvin is back in focus on his work. 

But Delvin believes Kia has a special relationship with Aslan. Especially in the near future Kia can quickly have a car and a nice house.

Then they started working. The pile of manuscripts had already piled up in front of Kia. Kia started editing with a professional.  And time passed quickly. 

**** 

In a large and magnificent hall on the 30th floor. The top brass, shareholders and board of directors of the Nareswara company gathered. There were rows of large chairs and a circular glass table.

The Grand Lord accompanied Bu Vienna his wife sitting in front as the former owner of the Narewara Group. Although still using a wheelchair, but the Great Lord's health has changed a lot. The look on the Great Lord's face stiffened.

Clearly there was sadness and disappointment. Why did his son make a decision without his authority. And where did that bad boy go. Why don't you go see him.

Although I don't know how the Great Lord's feelings to Aslan really are. But still, handing over the company to someone else who had nothing to do with her was heavy.

Rendra had been sitting neatly in his place as well as Satya and Manda. Satya who knows the closest person to Aslan is Rendra, approaching to Rendra.

"Is Brother coming?" satya asked whispering.

"Come away!" rendra replied frustratedly.

It was very difficult to talk and understand Aslan's intentions. He always acts as he pleases and is unpredictable.

"Hhhh" Satya just sighed equally dizzy with her brother.

The event also began. First welcome reception. Rendra and Satya looked frantically at their expensive watches. Why did their brother not show his nose.

"Truly, that Aslan!" batin Rendra was upset. Whereas during Aslan served as a leader. He was most keen to uphold discipline. Late employees can be penalized. He said a minute is precious. What'sthis? He's been molested for hours.

And get to the core event. Now is the time for the higher-ups to vote on who will be the ruler of Aslan. They were given 15 minutes to think. Of course it is a formality. Because his notice was long ago. And they must have their own choice.

Aslan's supporters made a choice for Satya. Including Rendra, but I don't know the other higher-ups.

Rendra and Satya panicked to see the clock. Why didn't Aslan come too. How'this?

"Are Aslan still missing too? Oh my God" Rendra's inner more and more gemash.

And time's up. Votes are counted and displayed. It turned out to be fifty fifty. Satya and Paul's support numbers are the same.

The vote results are still inconclusive. Then they negotiated again. And the way out is there is still Aslan who has the right to vote. Because Aslan also has shares there.

And when the participants of the meeting panicked about Aslan. All eyes turned towards the door.

The door of the Hall opened, still with the aura of his leadership, with his sturdy body and jaw firmly. Coupled with his blue sharp eyes. Aslan's aura did not diminish in the slightest.

Aslan looked ahead with focus. Not looking to the right and to the left or paying attention to the eyes of many people who are fixed on him. Aslan sat on his stool close to the Great Lord. Aslan then fixed his suit and sat up straight. His arrogance radiated, not decreasing in the slightest even though it was nothing anymore.

Rendra also explained to Aslan about the problems that occurred. Aslan nodded and opened his voice. In front of all the board of directors. Aslan asked for a deal.

After discussing each other, all the officials agreed. The Great Lord and Satya himself wondered why Aslan had chosen that path. Why did Aslan not make the choice to support Satya completely so that Satya took the lead.

Or if Aslan doesn't like Satya why not choose Paul. But even though, Aslan's decision sounded wise. So either Paul or Satya remained equally powerful, only now Narewara was split in two.

And strangely though today Aslan officially became nothing, when Aslan spoke all still obedient and submissive. Everyone smiles at the final decision.

Aslan advanced to the podium while apologizing and conveying hope for the progress of Nareswara and ITV to his future. After Aslan withdrew the higher-ups shook hands and dispersed.

The Nareswara and Rendra families remain. Paul and Aslan stared at each other with hostile eyes. So did the Great Lord, staring at Aslan full of question marks.

"Pa_pa wants to talk to you. Come to the house this afternoon" said the Great Lord staggered to Aslan.

"Yes Pah" replied Aslan briefly. They both looked like they were not sons and fathers.

Lady Vienna then with her slick role took the Great Lord away. And Paul was stale enough to show his role as a good son-in-law to escort his former father-in-law.

Aslan acted unconcerned as if they had never known each other. Now only behind Rendra, Manda, Satya and Aslan. Then the four of them discussed and asked what Aslan's plan was to the future.

****

Although a little disappointed because Paul did not lead all of Nareswara's assets. But Paul slightly smiled, now he is not only a famous artist, but a President.

While in front of the elevator, Paul said goodbye to his in-laws to go to the bathroom first and they separated. And at the same time, because it was time for the worker to come home Kia walked out.

Kia briefly passed by Lady Vienna and the Great Lord in the hallway. When she was about to open her car, Kia realized that her car key was missing. Kia turned around to take her keys. And in front of the elevator Paul and Kia meet.

The two women then stopped. Stand up straight by looking at each other and equally brave.

"You!" say the two women at the same time.

"Huh. Hahaha" Paul laughed sarcastically at Kia's appearance as an office employee.

Kia stood gracefully, with beautiful heels, beige fabric pants and a sweet tunic combined with a neat voal hijab. Then Id card clerk Nareswara hangs around his neck.

"Why laugh at me? Is something wrong with me?" ask Kia to challenge.

"Sure you're an officer here?" paul asks closer and picks up Kia's ID card, reads it cynically then throws it again.

Kia swallowed her saliva furiously.

"Little employee" pompous Paul sneer.

"What if I work here? My job's halal"

"Kia, Kia, with your status as only a lowly employee. You think you can fight me? Do you think that with you getting me divorced with Aslan you will win and be happy huh? I will make you regret having messed with my life" Paul said again with a vengeful and mocking look.

"You think I'm scared? I never messed with your life or meddled in your business. You divorced because of your mistake, Mrs Paul herself" Kia replied boldly.

"You separated Alena from her father. You have to pay for that! You will know the consequences of daring to deal with me!"

"He's not Alena's father. He's my son's father, Prince! Take that." replied Kia bravely.

"Oh yeah? Who would believe. Everyone knows Aslan's Alena's father"

"I don't care if people believe or not. Aslan belongs to the Prince. He's my son's father, and we'll live happily, living together in love unlike you guys living miserable lives!" reply Kia increasingly brave and confident to call Paul.

Kia was already very upset because Paul always told the Prince.

"You're saying I'm pathetic? Don't you have a mirror? You're the pathetic one. Who do you think you are? And just as you know. Aslan is now poor, and you think you will be able to live happily in Aslan's poor state, huh?" challenge Paul insulting.

"Yes. We'll stay happy. Because we have love. Unlike you who only care about money. Me, Prince and Aslan will live happily and in love, unlike you, living in a charade. Go ahead and threaten me as much as you can. I'm not scared!" kia replied again very firmly and loudly.

And of course it makes Paul a drag. Paul's hand was raised to slap Kia.

"Don't hurt my wife. Dare to touch it, I broke your hand" said a man who had stood up smiling to hear the two women's fight.

Seeing the arrival of Aslan who defended her, Kia's face flushed perfectly like a boiled crab.

"Oh my God. When did he arrive? Did he hear all my words? Aah how is this? He's definitely going to gr an, it shouldn't be so fast that he knows my feelings" Kia's inner self stood stiffly withstanding embarrassment.
