After finishing dinner, mom and dad Zio chatted together on the side porch. Zio was watching TV. Coincidentally his TV room was next to the side terrace, so Zio heard the talk of his mother's father.
But Zio didn't really care about their conversation. When he heard about the Sahira family, Zio just eavesdropped on his parents' conversation.
"Papa actually pity see the Joseph loh ma," said Mr. Mahendra to his wife.
"Why indeed, sir Joseph pa" asked his wife.
"He had to pay all his wife's debts. His wife borrowed money from a loan shark to sell clothes. He sold it on credit. But those who buy clothes do not pay, eventually the capital and interest do not pay to the loan shark. The longer it is the more debt to the loan shark. So now his house letter is pawned to loan sharks" Mahendra explained.
"Yes Allah.
"Initially twenty-five million, now it has reached one hundred million" replied Mahendra again.
"So how now pa," asked his wife, Mr. Mahendra.
"That night papa guaranteed the money to open our branch of business. The plan is he wants to sell his rice fields in his village. If the rice fields have been sold, the debt will be paid," replied Mahendra again.
"Pity, Joseph. It was probably his wife's game. It could be the debt, but it is said so. We don't know. Why people who owe clothes are not billed continuously" said his wife, Mr. Mahendra, upset.
"It is not good to be bad to think ma..," said Mr. Mahendra.
"Yusuf's wife is his second wife and is still new. Looking at his appearance, it seems that his wife likes to be stylish, like a socialite mother," said Mahendra's wife again.
"We see people not only from the outside, but also from the inside. It could have been ugly outside, but it was good inside" Mahendra said.
Zio, who was watching TV, overheard the talk of his mother.
Then Zio came out and joined his mother papa who was busy chatting.
"Why open a branch of our company?" ask Zio to his papa.
"Why Zi." asked his father.
"Papa is sick. There's a little problem at work, papa's heart disease relapses. If later Zio holds his own company, papa also holds his own, what if there is a problem at work. While papa can not face the slightest problem," said Zio explained.
"So you mean." asked his father again.
"I mean Zio, just cancel the plan to open a branch pa. Let papa just supervise the effort here. Zio will hold. We focus on one company. Instead of two companies but we cannot control, we can spill later on" Zio explained.
"Your idea is also good Zi..," said his mother.
"Yes already, you will think again," said Mr. Mahendra again.
***
As usual, every morning Zio went to the office together with his papa. Lately he always went to his papa's office to study with his papa. Because Zio did not understand very well how to manage the company, so he had to learn a lot.
Starting today, Zio was officially appointed by his father as the manager of his papa replacement company.
"Suf.. please help Zio to manage this company. If he is lacking, please teach him. I've been sick a lot, so let Zio control everything" Mahendra told Mr. Yusuf, a confidant of Mr. Mahendra.
"Okay sir, I will be ready to help him" replied Mr. Yusuf.
"Regarding opening a branch of the company, the plan does not so. I want to focus on one company. Two companies if morat marit for what, because I seem to have been unable to handle myself," said Mr. Mahendra explained.
"Truely said father. Just one important focus," said Mr. Yusuf.
"From today you learn a lot with Mr. Yusuf ya Zio," said Mr. Mahendra to his son Zio.
Since today the company is fully controlled by Zio the only son of Mahendra.
***
During the break, Nayla comes to Zio's office.
"Sorry, mbak... Mbak want to see who?" ask the security guard to Nayla who just went in without permission to the security guard at the entrance.
"I'm engaged to Zio and want to meet with Zio the owner of this company" replied Nayla firmly.
"Bent on mbak. Ma'am just wait there," said the security guard while chasing Nayla sitting in the guest seat.
"I am his fiancee. Can't I go straight to his room!" nayla says emotion.
"Makanya mbak sit there first, I will tell Mr. Zio first. If said Mr. Zio mbak hunted to his room, let me later that drop there," replied the security guard politely.
Then the security guard told Zio by phone.
"Mbak.
Not long after, Zio appeared.
"It's great that your security guard is mas. Just become a security guard is arrogant. I was forbidden to enter your room. Can't you find a more professional security guard. Just fire the security guard is mas," said Nayla full of emotion.
"What do you need here!" ask Zio flat.
"I miss you, mas. Every time I call you never pick up. I wa neither do you reply," replied Nayla.
"And I told you last night with you, if we don't match. From now on you will find my replacement. Since my feelings have now changed," Zio replied calmly.
"We are engaged to be engaged," said Nayla.
"Married people can separate, let alone newly engaged ones," Zio replied casually.
"What caused your feelings to change, mas" asked Nayla again.
"My feelings changed because of your own behavior" Zio replied again.
Finally Nayla left with a feeling of annoyance at Zio.
Zio accidentally breaks off his relationship with Nayla because he can't stand Nayla's attitude.
Especially after getting information from Abin Zio High School friend.
"Are you engaged to Nayla?" abin asked when Zio met Abin at the mall. At that time Abin also brought his girlfriend to the mall. When Nayla was picking shoes, Zio had a chat with Abin.
"It's not wrong that you choose Nayla as your fiancee. He was often in the discotheque. I know a lot about her Zi. After my cousin found out he went to the discotheque a lot, it was finally decided on my cousin" Abin explained.
Since then, Zio's feelings have changed. At first he did not like the attitude of Nayla who likes to organize, selfish, willing to win alone.
But after knowing that Nayla also often to the discotheque, Zio's feelings towards Nayla become bland, like food without salt.
Finally, after careful thought, Zio decided to end their relationship. Especially lately they often misunderstand and eventually often a small storm.
