Mr. Bimo, allow me to speak with Mr. Alren Lazaro" Voren told Mr. Bimo.
Mr. Bimo with his face as stiff as wood frowned. After Doni's attempt to plead with Mr. Bimo to ask Mr. Alren's time to be fruitless, Voren finally intervened himself to plead with his father's secretary once the meeting ended.
"Sir Bimbim, five minutes, ten minutes at most, give me time to talk to Mr. Alren Lazaro as father and son" Voren said.
Doni frowned hearing Mr. Voren even changed the name of Mr. Bimo with the name Bimbim which sounded ridiculous.
Mr. Bimo harrumphed, "You can talk at home, Mr. Voren."
"Sir Bimbim, I never even knew when my father's schedule was coming home! Three fasts three times Eid, I never met my father at home!" Voren.
"Come on, Mr. Bim! I am also very busy" said Voren, urging Mr. Bimo.
Mr. Bimo was forced to open his smart tablet to check the schedule of his boss.
"What's up, Mr Bimo?" ask Mr. Alren who came out of the meeting room with the members of the board of commissioners.
Alren cast his gaze towards Voren.
"Mr Alren, Mr. Voren would like to have a conversation with you personally" replied Mr. Bimo.
"True, Mr. Alren, it is an honor for me if you grant this wish of mine" Voren said, bowing.
Alren breathed.
"Alright, to my room now," the middle-aged man said as he strode away.
...~...
Voren immediately sat on the sofa, circulating his gaze around the room which he soon hoped would be his study.
"Sir Bimo, please wait outside," Alren ordered.
Mr. Bimo understood, he just nodded in code to Doni to leave father and son in need of privacy in their one-on-one conversation.
"Father," said Voren.
Alren looked skeptically at Voren.
"Papa, I'm sorry that I didn't attend the meeting a while ago and I didn't fulfill Papa's call either" Voren said.
"I really didn't mean to ignore Papa's call, really Papa, I just." Voren stopped his words because Alren waved in a gesture as if he was driving away a fly.
"Voren, get to the point! I don't have time just to listen to the obvious reasons will only make you reason more!" alren.
"Okay Papa, I get it!" Voren.
Voren took his breath before blurting out what he had to say.
"Papa, I don't understand why Papa thinks that I still don't deserve to be President Director! Papa, I even work almost twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, thirty days a month! I really dedicate the time I have just to work, Papa, then where is my cage so that in Papa's personal view, Daren is still better than me?!" Voren.
"Voren, you should be able to answer that question yourself!" alren.
"Father! How could Papa throw that question back at me?" voren asked trying to stifle his emotions.
"Ask yourself, do you really feel you deserve to be President Director with your premature abilities?!" alren said with a gaze that was so intimidating to his youngest child.
Voren tried to review his smile, but as usual, in his heart he cursed and cursed the man who became his father.
"Voren, don't you think I've never watched your progress! Don't you think by taking my big name and then you can act like it! You also don't feel special just because you're the only boy I have! You still have more to learn, Voren!" cecar Alren's.
"Look at you, what achievements have you achieved?! Just so you know, I already saved the Emperor Group that was on the verge of collapse when I was twenty-one years old! At your age, I even managed to make the Emperor Group thrive! What you're doing right now is just reaping the fruits of my hard work!" Alren still continued his fervor to Voren.
Voren singled out a smile that was more visible as a sneer.
"Papa, did Papa mention all of Papa's accomplishments because Papa meant to show it off to me?" ask Voren.
"I don't mean to show off my achievements to you, Voren! I'm just telling you the truth!" answer Alren.
"I'm really surprised at you, Voren, I don't even see a quarter of my ability at you! Do you know, I've always even wondered, are you really my son?" alren.
"If Papa is so doubtful, whether I am Papa's son, I doubt, whether I am Papa's son" said Voren.
"Voren!" hardik Alren's.
"Papa never sided with me! Is it because I am a child who cannot meet Papa's expectations that are too high?! No matter how hard I try, there is absolutely no result in Papa's eyes, right?!" Voren is still smiling.
"Voren! I'm just saying what I should tell you for your own good!" alren.
"For my own good or for Papa's ego?!" ask Voren again.
"Voren!" Alren tried to hold back his anger.
"Papa even blatantly reveals that Papa is more on Daren's side! Do you know, Papa's words really hurt my pride! Papa made my dignity plunge free in front of those people! Papa is shaming me!" Voren.
"Papa, I've always upheld Papa's good name, Lazaro's good name! But this is what Papa gave me in return?!" continued Voren.
The father and son were still staring at each other. Alren certainly had to control his emotions, obviously this youngest child provokes to provoke his anger. Alren of course must be a wise and firm figure in leading the company. He certainly does not want the company that is the result of his efforts to fall into the wrong hands because of the absence of special competence.
"Voren, I really feel doubt if you deserve to take my place! I don't know what you've learned all along! Or did you learn nothing at all! Ah yes, don't you suck at studying! And I don't know when I'm gonna have to understand that shit of yours!" alren said with a mocking tone.
Voren rolled his eyeballs, he really did not accept getting such ridicule from his father.
"Yes, Papa just kept putting me down like that! But just look Papa, I'm really going to prove that a lousy kid like me, a kid who doesn't have the support of his own parents, is going to, uh never mind, I don't need to mention it! Just look later, Papa!" voren said immediately moving out of his chair.
"Papa, take care of Papa's health! I don't want to replace Papa just because Papa is dying" Voren lowered his head and immediately walked out of Alren's study.
That kid, how dare he swear at me like that! The child does not know himself! Inner Alren who felt like he was about to take off his shoes and throw them towards Voren.
