He's my man
CHAPTER 25
Abian walked to the podium and stood next to his wife. A lot of questions are asked at the moment. He asked how his father was here and owned 15% of Arkarna Group.
" Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, good morning all" said Abian looked at all the participants present.
Some answered Abian's greeting and some answered only good morning.
" Include me Muhammad Abian Alfaiz, I am the husband of Dita Tiara Arkarna's mother, thank you for the trust of Dita's mother and the people who fully support Dita Tiara's mother Arkarna, I promise to bring Arkarna Group forward again, for that I ask for his guidance and the help of all the board of directors present this morning, thank you, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." Abian took his wife's hand to his father.
His father Abian welcomed his son and daughter-in-law with a smile. He had expected this to happen a long time ago. Agus Arkarna seemed emotional with his defeat. He walked towards Abian's father and stared intently.
" It turns out you're still alive Faiz Arkarna" he said coldly.
Abian, Dita and all around them looked surprised to hear Agus Arkarna mention the name of the man.
" Well Thank God I'm still alive" he replied with a mocking smile.
Agus Arkarna left with his entourage in annoyance. He had felt already up in the wind because he thought easily he defeated the little elbow of his son Rama Arkana, but he did not expect any support from Faiz Arkarna.
" Who is that man" asked Bara, Agus Arkarna's second son.
" He's Faiz Arkarna the grandson of Ian Arkarna who you think is dead" said Agus.
" Why don't we know Pa?" ask Bara again.
" He disappeared when you were little, his father Faiz Arkarna was expelled from the family for marrying a girl who was not approved by his late grandfather, Ian Arkarna." agus replied telling a bit of Faiz Arkarna's past.
...****************...
Elsewhere, there were three people trapped in one room. They all stared at each other. No one has decided to open the conversation. They sat quietly in the highest room of the Arkarna Group. They are Abian, Dita and Faiz Abian's father
" I understand what's on your mind" his father said, opening his voice.
" What's really going on" Abian said with a slight emphasis.
Dita just quietly waited for the next story because she was also curious who this in-law was.
" Do you remember the story last night?" ask father.
Abian nodded his head while looking at Dita. Dita who felt stared at Abian became curious and asked in her heart what the gaze meant.
" Rama Arkarna his father Dita knows your grandfather, and he knows that father is part of the Arkarna family" Abian's father tried to remember the incident some time ago. " then he gave the shares that are already the rights of Ian Arkarna's descendants 10%, it should be 30% shares but before your grandfather had sold it 20% to others." explained Abian's father again.
" Why don't you ever tell me you're part of Arkarna" Abian said with a flat face.
" Dad also just knew all of his papa Dita a week before Mr. Rama died, your grandfather never introduced father to his extended family, even your grandfather used to bring your father and grandmother live from Jakarta." said Abian's father.
" So the relationship between the two of us?" abian looked at Dita.
" You're distant cousins" replied his father.
Abian and Dita are flabbergasted to hear the story of Faiz Arkarna. Dita did not expect that her husband was also part of the Arkarna family.
" How can you not tell a story?" one question finally came out of his mouth.
" This is indeed the request of the father who wanted to keep it a secret, the father at that time did not want Abian to be part of the Arkarna family again, but it turns out that fate has been like this" replied his father.
" Yes, come on, the CEO's got us some fun." He tried to melt the atmosphere even though he felt strange in his heart as well with Abian's current status.
" Alright, on one condition." said Abian exhaling heavily.
" What?" tanya Dita and her in-laws simultaneously.
" Dad will help me at Abian Work, then you." Abian pointed to Dita." You'll help me at Arkarna Construction." Abian's answer made Dita feel a bit tense.
" But I am old" answered his father.
" Dad's still a lot of experience, and there's aided by my assistant" replied Abian who knew her father had the ability to remember his father's experience.
" I want to focus on college steel can't I?" ask Dita by forcing her smile. He really wants to escape from work problems that make him dizzy. He just wants to have fun.
" There is no rejection." Abian replied flatly.
Then they walked out of the CEO's room. Dita walked with a bit of a frown because she still could not leave her job. They walked out of Arkarna Group. But there are a lot of journalists standing there. Seeing those who came out, the reporters immediately ran after them.
" How did Mr. Abian feel about being CEO." asked one of the reporters.
" Is it true that Abian's father is Arkarna's great family." asked another journalist. There are many other questions.
Abian did not answer questions from reporters, he just smiled asking for a way.
" We will hold a press conference later" replied Abian's father.
They got into a car to an elite restaurant. No one followed them in a taxi. They did not expect the person who followed him was Abian's mother. He's been standing at their table.
" May I join" he said asking for permission.
" Please." said Abian coldly.
Dita and her in-laws just looked at each other. They don't know what to do. Sukma's mother sat in front of him. She is next to her ex-husband.
" Congratulations Bian, you can finally achieve what you want" he said with pleasure.
" I was not successful, this is only a message from Dita, I am the same as Dita's lackey" he said Cold.
" Where can it be like that, without you Dita will also be eliminated from there, all thanks to your hard work." said his mother Abian made Dita's chest a little tight.
" Partially you also have rights there, you are also the granddaughter of the Arkarna family." explained her mother again.
" What was your purpose here?" ask his father not to be flat with Abian.
" i'm just happy with my son's success, what's wrong if a mother is happy with her son's success" said Abian's mother looking cynically at Abian's father.
" It's not wrong, but what kind of mother leaves her child for another man" her father Abian said with some emotion.
" All of us are silent, we are here to eat not want to make a fuss" said Abian who was emotional to see the attitude of his parents.
They ordered food after the waiter approached them. Abian's father and mother ate voraciously, but not with Abian and Dita. Abian saw Dita just stirring his food. He saw this woman there was something he kept alone. Abian tried to focus the depth in front of him. But he also had no desire to eat it. His mother who saw it immediately rebuked him. It was as if a mother cared so much for her child.
" Why don't you eat Bian? are you still hit with Mira?" asked his mother to make the atmosphere tense.
