My Soul in Grandpa's Hands

Legacy

With a fierce gaze, Maurin scanned the meeting room where they were currently. Enough room to fit 20 people, which is only equipped with tables and meeting chairs and LCD Projector facilities. Before long Maurin and Lastri waited, Rico and Ridwan accompanied by a lawyer immediately entered the room.

"Good morning Mrs Lastri, dear Maurin, welcome back to the company." Rico greeted them. The three of them sat down immediately.

"Yes" Maurin replied briefly as he slightly raised the corner of his mouth slightly upwards.

"For Pastry." Anggoro who has known the woman for a long time since becoming a lawyer Mr. Broto also greeted his client's ex-wife.

"By the morning, too, Anggoro. Thank goodness there are still people who know who we are." Pastri replied with a tone of sarcasm.

Hearing Lastri's words, Anggoro just smiled. Fortunately a pantry officer came in to bring drinks and Snack in a brown meal box.

"Let's have a drink for a while, but it's still hot water, and a light Snack to fill our stomachs." Ridwan offers drinks and Snacks that have just been served.

They then took a drink and drank it, without opening the meal box..

"I'm sorry I won't be here for long, maybe I'll just talk about my papa's inheritance. Since I was the only daughter of the late Papa Broto, so this papa company should have fallen into my hands." without further ado, Maurin immediately expressed his intention to come here.

"The "heritage? Which legacy does Maurin mean? Individually, I know that Maurin is Mr. Broto's daughter, but legally the evidence, the deceased has already bestowed all inheritance rights on his grandson mas Axel.'" asked Anggoro.

Hearing that, the faces of Lastri and Maurin instantly flushed. Emotions rule them, especially Maurin.

"Don't pretend to act stupid you Anggoro, yes heritage for Maurin. You know, if Maurin's Broto's only daughter."

"Sorry Bu Lastri, maybe earlier I have said if in the inheritance letter there is not the name of mbak Maurin as one of the beneficiaries. There is only Axel, even if he is 17 years old. My grip is black over white, not an assumption we built ourselves."

"Who are Rico and Ridwan, why run the company? I should have been more deserving than both of them." Maurin appoints Rico and Ridwan.

Both adopted children Mr. Broto had suspected before if the deceased's daughter would attack him, so they had just kept quiet and handed everything to the lawyer.

"They are both adopted sons of the deceased Mr. Broto, and are clearly written in a will, if they are appointed directly by the deceased to run the operations of the company. But the highest decision is not in their hands, there is one more person appointed."

"It could be, the will is your wits to master papa's treasure. Especially for today, anything is easy to fake." Maurin would not listen to Anggoro.

"It's up to Maurin and Bu Lastri, but we're just doing everything based on a letter written directly by the deceased. Or please wait for Axel's age of 17 years, he who has the rights to this company." don't want to say much, Anggoro handed it all to them.

"And this, a copy of Mr. Broto's will. As the closest family, I am sure if Bu Lastri who despite the status of divorcee, and mbak Maurin his daughter will recognize the handwriting of the Father." he added again, while submitting a scan copy of the will.

Maurin looked at his mother and then took and studied the will. Their faces were both red withstanding emotions after they finished reading it. The name of Maurin is clearly mentioned in the letter, if it is not recognized as his daughter. The company managed Rico and Ridwan until the age of Axel 17 years.

"That's right the signature of your late father Maurin.., '" Lastri whispered to his daughter.

"Maurin.., we go home first. And we will find a way out, later we will consult LBH first." take Lastri, while helping his daughter stand.

"Just wait, I'll sue you..," Maurin suddenly shouted, then came out while pulling his mother's hand.

***********

Maurin and Lastri, Rico and Ridwan invite Anggoro to meet Devan in his office. Devan received them in his study.

"Don't let your guard down, I'm sure Maurin will figure out a way to get Mr. Broto's legacy! But it's up to Axel too. Even though he's not 17 yet, he already knows what's good and what's not." Devan gives instructions to Rico and Ridwan.

Finished talking, Devan raised his hand to call OB to make a drink. Then focus back on looking at the three people sitting in front of him.

"Yes Mr. Devan .., we are also not happy with Mrs Maurin. But how else, if we leave the company to him, we are afraid to betray the trust of the deceased." Rico responds to Devan.

Devan took a deep breath, then returned to speaking...

"You were given the mandate to develop the company, until the time Axel was worthy enough to run the company himself. Do not be easily tempted or feel tired to people whose hearts are dead. Don't you think about the boy's future."

"Yes mas Rico.., mas Ridwan because of your hands too, the company of Mr. Broto can still survive so far. If we're dead in the term, for us to keep the company so far. But at the end of the day, if Maurin holds it, we will feel sinful with the deceased." Anggoro lawyer who has accompanied Mr. Broto during his life, also spoke.

OB put a coffee cup in front of each of them.

"Drink first!" Devan asked them to drink.

"Yes Mr. Devan., Mr. Anggoro. It is a heavy moral burden for me with my daughter. But in particular I promise, I will give ownership rights to Axel as soon as possible. For now, I will fight to keep the company from anyone." after drinking one gulp, Rico voiced his promise.

"Okay.., now what do you think Anggoro is?"

"We still have to prepare ourselves, sir. We benefit from a letter written by Mr. Broto himself, who no longer considers Maurin as his son" Anggoro said.

"Yes, but in Islamic law the child also needs to get an inheritance, even though he is defiant on his parents." Ridwan mediates.

"The cause of the dispute was because Mr. Broto did not accept and could not tell his daughter. Maurin had abandoned his own son, and by Mr. Broto all the inheritance was given to his grandson, who in fact was also the son of Maurin. Now we have to gather evidence that Axel was born to Maurin." Anggoro argues again.

"For the last issue, we already have. Axel himself who got the evidence where he was born in the hospital in Singapore."
