"Pus, hello." Rian called Riri several times when Riri long time did not respond to Rian's words.


"Eh yes, hello. What's?" riri asked in surprise.


"Are you asleep?" ask Rian.


"No Mas. It's delicious" replied Riri.


"Where did you go first?" ask Rian.


"No Mas. Let's continue talking again," replied Riri diverted the conversation.


"You miss your parents, don't you?" ask Rian.


"Yes," replied Riri slowly.


"Why didn't you call them?" ask Rian.


"It's not yet time. I will only return once I can stand on my own feet. I want to prove that for college, I don't need help from my sister-in-law" replied Riri.


"Sister-in-law is the same as the most beautiful ex-lover," seduced Rian.


"Mas, what the hell. Will not be an ex if the most beautiful," said Riri.


"Yes too. What is the former ter?" ask Rian.


"Have not discussed the ex. It's no use. Life has to move forward. If we talk about the former, we talk about the past. Why does the past continue to be discussed?" ask Riri.


"So what do you want to talk about? The future?" ask Rian.


"Yes, it should be so dong. Life must go on looking to the future" replied Riri.


Rian had to let out a long sigh because Riri did not understand where he was speaking. The code from him was not accepted by Riri at all.


"Mas, yes it was! Mr. Aric called me," said Riri.


Not yet over Rian tried to code Riri, but the call had to be over. Riab just resigned. He took a shower and calmed himself. After that, he immediately went to see Mr. Felix.


"Bah" said Rian.


Many times Rian called Mr. Felix but his call was ignored. He felt very uneasy when he did not find the whereabouts of Mr. Felix. After repeatedly knocking on her bedroom door and still without an answer, Rian opened the door.


"Pah, sorry. I'm in!" said Rian.


Slowly his hand touched the door handle and opened it. There's nobody there. Rian grew more agitated when he saw a photo and a shabby paper.


Rian grabbed the paper. He tried to open the paper and photos on the table. His eyes were wide when he saw the photo. Two different photos. One of Mr. Felix's wedding photos. And another photo of his ex-wife's affair.


"So this is what Papa's ex-wife wants?" rian murmuring.


Rian shut up for a second. He tried to look at the woman's face. Beautiful, doesn't look like a bad woman. Especially considering that he is no longer young. Could it be that Mr Felix's ex-wife is still ambitious about his father's destruction?


Just as Rian was about to find out where Mr. Felix was, his phone rang. He saw Riri's name plastered on his phone screen.


"Pus, I want to find Papa first." Rian tried to end the call.


"Mas, Papa is here. I'll send you a picture" Riri whispered.


"What's? What do you mean Pus?" ask Rian.


Foeto..Tuout.. Tuuuut


Phone connection disconnected. Rian tried to contact Riri back. Turns out Riri had sent the photo first. Rian is shocked to see Mr. Felix at Mr. Felix's house. Arics.


Rian soon followed his father. But it has not yet reached Mr.'s house. Aric, Riri has contacted Rian again and asked him to go to Mr. Felix's office.


"Yes Pus" answered Rian.


Without a second thought, Rian immediately turned around and went to the office. There's no Mr. Felix there. But he saw the woman in Mr. Felix's office.


Rian went to see the woman. Feeling unacquainted with Rian, the woman behaved arrogantly and admitted the company would be hers. He had convinced the woman that he would keep his father's company. But not when the woman shows evidence that Mr. Felix will immediately hand the company over to her.


"Rian," call Mr. Felix. "What are you doing here?" continued.


Rian immediately asked for an explanation of everything that happened.


"It's already night. Why is Papa still in the office?" ask Rian.


"Papa, I'm Papa's son. I have the right to interfere in this matter. Because it's about my future. I don't want Papa to make decisions with unstable emotions" Rian said.


"All of these decisions are already full of consideration Ri. Papa has given up. We can't possibly survive with this fifty percent. Not to mention if we reject his wishes, we will be in deficit again by ten percent. How can the company survive? We better give up" said Mr. Felix.


"No. I'm not giving up. Let us hold on at forty percent. We're going to start from zero" Rian said.


"No Rian. You can't" said Mr. Felix.


"I can. Give me a chance, Pah," said Rian.


"No Ri" said Mr. Felix, shaking his head.


"I can definitely Pah. Please give me a chance. Just this once," said Rian.


"But the risk is great Ri" said Mr Felix.


"We better lose because we've fought to the end, than we give ourselves up." Rian still persuaded Mr. Felix.


"At least Papa can still secure your future" Felix said.


"Bah, I beg you." Rian pleaded.


Rian managed to convince Mr. Felix. He lost another ten percent of his company. The woman looked grim. Mr Felix's ex-wife believes the company will not survive with forty percent left.


"Papa take it easy. I will not let Papa's name get into the news of the destruction of this company" Rian said.


The woman left with a very satisfied face. He even said that he could not wait for the news to spread widely in the media. Mr. Felix is down. He's resigned. It's just about time. Now or later, the news of his bankruptcy would definitely spread. How could the company survive?


"We're home. It's late" Mr. Felix asked.


"Apartment Pah. I brought the files that can be learned tonight" Rian said.


"no need. You just focus on Ri's lecture," said Mr. Felix holding back Rian's steps.


"I'll divide my time. Papa take it easy" said Rian.


Rian immediately returned after bringing the two files he needed.


"Come on, Pah" asked Rian.


"Come on!" bring Mr. Felix.


They're home. Before Mr. Felix left the office, his eyes stared fixedly at the towering building. It hurt as he regretted his carelessness. But it all happened. Regret will be of no use.


"Ri, forgive Papa." Mr. Felix tried to break the silence.


"There's nothing to forgive. All we have to do is fight. Prove if we can" said Rian.


Mr. Felix could have used his savings for Rian's future. But he couldn't have done all that. Too risky for Rian's future. He is worried that his company will continue to be stalked by his ex-wife.


"Pah, stop. There's Brother Mia and Brother Dion if I go back to Indonesia. But this is not a financial thing anymore. It's about self-worth. He will feel victorious when he sees Papa's name spread in the media with the news of the bankruptcy" said Rian.


"But he's sneaky" said Mr. Felix.


"I will go straight to Pah field" said Rian.


"That's not what Papa wants" Felix said.


"Papa said he wanted to make me happy. And Papa must know that my happiness this time is to see this company still standing under Papa's control. Whatever the outcome, I just want us to fight together. Papa can't you?" ask Rian.


"You know Papa's in Mpus' office right?" ask Mr. Felix.


"Yes" answered Rian.


"Yet Mpus saved us. If you don't exist, the company doesn't belong to Papa anymore. Mpus is great" said Mr. Felix.


"I prevented all of that. Why is Mpus great?" ask Rian.


"Because if Mpus doesn't tell you where Papa is, you can't necessarily do all this." Mr. Felix still continues to boast of Riri.


"Yes, yeah. I know he's Papa's golden boy. What am I just a crumb of cookies" said Rian.


For a moment Mr. Felix dismissed the problem. He laughed so happily when he saw Rian feeling rivaled by Riri's care and kindness.
