CHAPTER 24 | Tough Opponents

“The food here is delicious. Where did you find it?”, asked Mr. Umar, Chaca's father while continuing to enjoy his food.

“This cafe belongs to Chaca's friend, and the barista standing there is the owner. He also has one of the five-star hotels that we always go to when the big meeting”, said Chaca proud of his very great friend in front of his father.

“So, what do you want to talk to papa?”, asked Mr. Umar while spooning a mouthful in his mouth.

“Which Chaca wants to discuss is PT Warna Cakrawala. On the day of the crash, the company will soon go bankrupt. Do you know the potential of the company is very large and very great? But unfortunately because their debts are piling up and the President Director who does not want to mem – PHK either workers or employees make their expenses very swell and make the company shake”, Chaca said.

“So?”

“Is it possible if our company acquires PT Warna Cakrawala?”. Tanya Chaca who made Mr. Umar put down his eating utensils and then looked at the princess only wayangnya.

“What do you think? Don't we already have Mr Broto and Mr Lukman? they are both owners of a good fabric company right?” replied Mr. Umar did not understand what his son was thinking.

“But papa. It's not ours. They're just working with us. If we had our own fabric company, wouldn't things be much easier? Plus, this will give papa even greater support”. Reply Chaca tried to convince his father to immediately acquire PT Warna Cakrawala before Pak Karto managed to acquire it into private property.

“Say your words are correct, then how can we get so much money to acquire them? Doesn't the price start at 500M? At least we need 750 – 800M”. Reply Mr. Umar gave his argument.

The sekeitika silent atmosphere, Chaca forgot about it. It is easy if Chaca wants to get PT Warna Cakrawala but how can he pay?

“Just give Chaca papa's orders. The rest of Chaca will take care of it”, Chaca exclaimed confidently.

“As long as I get PT Warna Cakrawala, then everything will be fine. For payment I will think about it later”, he murmured inwardly.

“How? Already managed to get PT Warna Cakrawala?”, asked Pak Karto to Pak Hendra who was in his room at that time together with Mr Broto, Pak Hadi and Pak Lukman.

“It's very hard to get it. Besides the price is too expensive, our enemy is also very impossible to face”, complained Mr. Hendra answered him.

“So? You can't get it? Just tell me if from the beginning I can not do it, I will tell others to get it”, replied Mr. Karto upset with the results given by Mr. Hendra, however, no matter how, PT Warna Cakrawala should be his as what he wants.

“Then don't waste my trust. Come back when you have got it. I wait for good news from you”, exclaimed Mr. Karto with his pretty creepy gaze while raising both his legs up on the table in front of him.

Days have changed, without wasting any time Chaca immediately contacted Hanna to return to discuss something very important for the two of them in a cafe owned by Barra

“Yes, I'll do it. PT Warna Cakrawala will be one of the subsidiaries of Terang Abadi.The parent company will acquire PT Warna Cakrawala. So tell this news to the President Director, there will be no dismissal of employees or workers. We who will bear everything and the rest will be discussed again when the two President Directors meet”, said Chaca gave a very happy news for Hanna.

“Ah.. Chaca, thanks. I will convey this to the Managing Director”, Hanna said with a full cry.

He deliberately did not immediately return because he felt comfortable in this cafe and contemplated alone by looking at the very crowded streets, he said, until finally Barra approached him with a cup of latte with a heart shape in the middle.

“Maybe this will clear your mind of the noise of the world”, said Barra who resuscitated Chaca from her daydream. Chaca has been staring at the street and keeping silent without doing anything.

“Looks like a lot you think of”, Barra said smiling at Chaca to cheer up the woman of her heart. Chaca tilted her head slightly and saw many customers in line ordering while there was only one barista and one cashier on the spot.

“It looks like they need you more than me. Go to work first”, said Chaca saw the employees of Barra like difficulty responding to customers without Barra.

“They've trained, let it go. You are more important, what is it?”, asked Barra once again by rubbing Chaca's head to make her bow down in shame.

“Nothing, just a matter of work that is getting heavier. When one reaches the top, there will always be someone else trying to pull it down and even drop it to the deepest abyss, until the person cannot get up again. It seems like that is happening to me”, said Chaca trying to share her feelings for Barra while sipping a cup of latte with a heart character in the middle that managed to make her smile even though very thin.

“Although the man was dropped even to the deepest abyss but remember, there will be others who extend their hands and help you to reach the top again, even though the world is filled with bad people, but there will always be good people around you”, Barra replies trying to comfort and encourage Chaca with her words.

“Thank you, have been one of the good people around me Barra”, chaca smiled sweetly at Barra, who managed to make Barra's heart beat so badly that she turned her face away from Chaca because she could not bear to see how sweet Chaca was when she smiled.

“Stop that. Stop smiling like that in front of me”, exclaimed Barra turned her face and closed her eyes.

“Jeez, this girl. He doesn't know what he's done, I want to get it” Barra murmured in his heart.
