Gavin's words are like a paran tam to Adibrata. Gavin can appreciate and praise Bagas, while he dumped his son. And now it was his son who played an important role in helping his efforts to persuade his wife to forgive his mistakes.
" Thank you, Mr. Gavin. Because Mr. Gavin has given my son the opportunity to develop his ability to manage Mr. Gavin's business. I was really embarrassed as a parent, because it made him more trusting of working elsewhere than in my own company," adibrata said he expressed his disappointment at being too selfish in regulating his son's freedom to make his son choose another place to live rather than in a place where his own parents who get a lot of luxury facilities.
Gavin frowned until the strokes were clearly visible on the man's forehead. He remembered some time ago, Adibrata asked him to refuse Bagas who wanted to work in his place. But today, Adibrata thanked him for giving Bagas the opportunity to develop his career taking care of a different business with the company owned by Adibrata.
Gavin felt there was a tone of regret in the sentence uttered by Adibrata, not at all showing the arrogance of the man as when asking him to refuse Bagas work in his hotel.
" I'm glad my hotel is managed by a person who has the ability to lead the company, Mr. Adibrata. Although our business type is different, but the soul of a company leader, I think it can be applied to any type of business, including hospitality businesses," obviously Gavin is grateful for his hotel handled by Bagas who had served as CEO at the company owned by Adibrata.
" Right, Mr. Gavin. I'm really sorry I let him go. Yesterday there was a dispute between me and him, which led to him resigning from my company, Mr. Gavin." Although Adibrata did not tell what was the dispute between father and son, but Gavin already knew the true story of Bagas from the story told by Azkia to him at that time.
" In the family the quarrel was common, Mr. Adibrata. Especially between a father and his son." Gavin himself is grateful, his relationship with his son, both from his wife and from his former lover used to run harmoniously, he said, that's because he tried to apply the teachings of David Richard as a father figure who is very wise and patient in facing his attitude first. And he is grateful, until now he is a figure Daddy is very proud of by his son and daughter.
" Right, Mr. Gavin. Unfortunately, I cannot be wise as a parent. Too imposing a will as I wish, without seeing it as excruciating for my own son." To Gavin, Adibrata expressed his regret without shame. He knew Gavin was a clean businessman, who did not use one's weaknesses to attack or take him down.
Gavin pulled one corner of his lips up. He was happy to see the change that happened to Adibrata, at least the words spoken by Adibrata this time did not show the man's arrogance.
" We as parents do want the best for our children, Mr. Adibrata. But, the best in our opinion is not necessarily the best for them, and vice versa. Sorry, Mr. Adibrata," Gavin again said what he had said to Adibrata.
" I'm sorry if I was too presumptuous to think, if the problem you and Bagas all this time is the figure of Indhira, believe me Mr. Adibrata, she is a good woman. Indhira came and worked for my nephew. She was well received by my niece, even though my niece was not easily able to believe in others let alone a beautiful woman, but Indhira gained the trust of my niece, she said, that indicates that Indhira is a good woman, Mr. Adibrata." Gavin ventured to advise Adibrata about Adibrata's attitude which had been harsh on Indhira.
" I'm not a hypocrite, Mr. Adibrata. I used to be a little bit more naughty than your son. I live abroad, with a free lifestyle and relationships. I also did what Bagas did to his lover, until I finally left him. A few years passed, it turns out that I knew when I left her, when my ex-lover was pregnant with my child. But, God is very fair, until finally I can be reunited with my son. I felt that I was very guilty when I left her without knowing her condition when she was pregnant. And after I told him what happened to my Dad, my Dad didn't scold me, he actually told me to be responsible for my biological child because at that time my position was also married to my current wife. My father also gave a decent life to my son and the woman who became the mother of my child. My father did not demean the woman at all. Instead my father guaranteed his grandson to go to college abroad. Even now our relationship is very harmonious and there is no grudge between us." Gavin told Adibrata a little bit of his past story, because what Bagas experienced first was the same as what he had experienced. The difference is only the attitude of Adibrata and David are the opposite.
Adibrata is stunned to hear Gavin's past story. He also did not expect that Gavin would open up about his past story to him. Adibrata was once again ashamed to hear Gavin's story. Moreover, Gavin seemed to compare his attitude with the figure of David Richard, who had a child who had both made a big mistake.
" Yes, Mr. Gavin. I realize now this. My stubbornness kept me away from my wife and children. I really failed at being a father" Adibrata regretted.
" You have not failed, Mr. Adibrata. Bagas is a great guy, how do you say if you've failed?" Gavin chuckled, because in reality Bagas was currently a respected leader despite being under thirty years old.
Adibrata smiled faintly, even Gavin did not say that he failed.
" I'm sorry, Mr. Gavin. If I want Bagas back to manage my company that he left behind is Mr Gavin allowed?" tanya Adibrata conveys the real purpose of her coming to Gavin's place.
" Well, I'll lose my best employee this way, Mr. Adibrata." Gavin chuckled, as if he was right to lose a valuable asset in that venture.
" The thing is I need him to take care of my company, Mr. Gavin." Adibrata.
" That I return to Bagas, Mr. Adibrata. If Bagas wants to take care of your company again, please. But, if your son wants to stick to my hotel, I hope you can also accept it, Mr. Adibrata." Gavin did not want to impose his will by banning Bagas from his current workplace, although to be honest he was very heavy if Bagas decided to resign.
" If Bagas agrees to your request, I will also need time to appoint a new person who will replace the current position of Bagas, Mr. Adibrata." Gavin gave the condition that Bagas be out of the job held by the man at this time.
" Okay, Mr. Gavin. I understand that" said Adibrata. " But please don't tell Bagas this first, Mr. Gavin. Let me tell him." Adibrata asks Gavin not to tell Bagas.
" Okay, Mr. Adibrata." Gavin agreed to Adibrata's request.
" I'll say it first, Mr. Gavin. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. Sorry if I've troubled you, Mr. Gavin." Adibrata says goodbye to Gavin because he has already conveyed what he wants to Gavin.
" All right, Mr. Adibrata. Thank you for visiting my place." After shaking hands, Adibrata leaves Gavin's office to return to his own office.
