Love, Treasure And Erlita

Chapter 49

That day is the day Erlita will announce an acquisition deal with Southeast Asia's largest furniture company, Kusumo Group, one of Susbihardayan Group's perpetual business competitors.

Later they led far ahead thanks to the support of one of their sole heirs who was not widely known to the public. Since the death of the owner and founder of the company, Kusumo Group has increasingly stepped into the European and American markets and has a very good performance as an acquisition company.

So the officials decided to release Susbihardayan Corp shares to the Kusumo group. All the Susbihardayan Group officials have gathered and are preparing for the arrival of their big guests.

Erlita seemed very agitated, because in fact she was not willing to let go of her company just like that. He hoped the acquisition announcement that day never happened.

Erlita intends to leave the room that has been filled with news hunters. But soon a well-dressed man entered the room. The man Erlita once knew.

“Alan?”

The man politely greeted and introduced himself, “Good morning, sorry for our delay. I'm Alan from Kusumo Group. And this is the president director and owner of Kusumo Group.”

Soon another man came in with a few of his employees.

“Nafan?!” Erlita didn't know why her husband was there.

Not wanting Nafan to interfere with the day's events, he approached Nafan and dragged him to sit next to him.

“What did you do coming here? Isn't this working hours anymore? I'm not papa, you calm down!”

Alan suddenly came to them, “Sorry, Sir, Miss. Event should start soon.”

"Why does Sisil talk like that?"

Sisil immediately opened the company's handover event and the owner and new CEO Susbihardayan Corp who rarely appeared in public to give a speech.

Nafan got up from his chair, kissed Erlita's hand and walked towards the podium on stage.

“Wait.” Erlita doesn't understand anymore.

Nafan began his first public address as sole heir, owner, and CEO of Kusumo Group. He said that his acquisition was solely because he saw the enormous potential of Susbihardayan Corp.

He then added another common reason and closed with the statement that what he did was an attempt to merge two great powers with his beloved wife.

“Since when did you know?” search Erlita to Sisil.

“Since I was a child, Miss.” Answer Sisil casually.

Erlita felt angry and disappointed at being played with. She doesn't even know who her husband is. How could Nafan who was so trusted by her possibly lie to her all this time.

Erlita stood up and left the room. Nafan immediately followed her out of worry. And they went into Erlita's office.

“Honey, relax first. I can explain everything.”

“What do you want to clear? Are there any more lies you haven't unloaded?”

“Ta, plis horrified me first! Grandfather is the owner of Kusumo Group, but I never want to be involved in the grandfather's company. That's why I took the cpns test and worked in the forestry service. Since graduating from High School I have been out of the family kusumo because I always assume that grandfather was the cause of the accident experienced by both my parents. Until before he died, my grandfather assured me that it was not my grandfather who asked them to come to Jakarta. Since grandfather's departure, Alan has been overwhelmed by the company so I was forced to leave my job to take care of the family company. Just like you Ta, I also have a responsibility to the millions of people who work in grandfather's company.”

“Because I have absolutely no intention to become the heir of Kusumo Group, until when we have to lose our first child due to this problem.”

Nafan set his breath that started panting “I tried to consult with Alan and the team at the company and they agreed to take over your company. I'm just doing this for you and our son, Ta. No more.”

“So Sisil has known about this for a long time?”

“It is Ta, Sisil and I have been friends since childhood. He knows that I am the grandson of Purnomo Cokrokusumo but he also knows exactly that I have absolutely no interest in the company of grandfather.”

Erlita began to soften and tried to believe the words of her husband who turned out to be a sole heir of the tyrant and noble Purnomo Cokrokusumo. However, Erlita felt a little relieved to release her company into the right hands. There was no more doubt and fear in his heart.

***

That afternoon, after making the announcement of the acquisition, Nafan took his wife along with Johan, Sisil and Alan to lunch together at a favorite luxury restaurant Erlita.

“Sorry yes, Ta. All this time I had to pretend I didn't know who Nafan really was. Because I think it's absolutely not important for lo.” Sisil tried to be honest

“Sorry, Madam Lita, I deliberately did not tell Mbak Lita because Mas Nafan must be very angry if his personal life is linked to the Kusumo Group.” Alan also felt guilty for not telling Erlita.

Now Erlita is curious if Johan who is very trusted also lies about it. He stared intently at his cousin brother who was relaxed as if he did not see and hear anything. “So you already know?”

“Gue......... I.......” Johan is thinking of the right sentence to avoid the tantrums of his cousin's sister, “Yah, I also just found out, Ta. Pas we go to Nafan's house on Jalan Cemara runs out from the birthday lo it.”

“What?!”

“Sori, Fan. I'm keceplosan.”

“So there's more I don't know yet?”

Nafan was upset with the mouth of his wife's cousin's bucket. Though he intends to give a surprise on the birthday of his wife later. But he was forced to open it all now because Johan could not keep his mouth.

His son also left him first. So there was no reason to delay telling Erlita.

“Darling, there's nothing else I'm hiding from you. I am indeed the only grandson of Purnomo Cokrokusumo and the house we live in on Cemara street that is my home for you and our children.”

“So, is that your home? Pantes aja all deket servers are very similar to you. So the luxury car lined up in your parking lot was –“

“That's only part of Mas Nafan's collection, Ma'am. There are still many in Jogja. Mas Nafan has its own special parking space to store a collection of antique and luxury cars.”

Now Erlita is completely overwhelmed. “What is your job as PNS that is also a lie?”

“Ngga, Ta. That's the only honest part. I am registered as a civil servant. I became a PNS because I felt I had enough of life. So I want to dedicate my life to others, nations and nations. And why the forest police? That's because I always thought that if only that time there were no landslides due to deforested forests, maybe your mother's body could be found, maybe even still safe. But that day, the rain was very heavy and suddenly the flood came along with a landslide. As a result your mother's body was dragged by flood currents and –“

Nafan stops the story because he sees Erlita being tormented whenever he hears the story of her mother's death.

“I'm sorry, Ta.”
