Picking Up the Past

Family Company

“do not insult the people in this house, or I will not hesitate to make a fuss with you” said Arya full of emphasis.

He really could not bear to see Vanessa suffering all this time, he did not want to see the girl continue to be treated like that in front of him.

“brothers should go to kak”'s room immediately said Arya pulled Vanessa's suitcase and lifted it to the 2nd floor where Vanessa's room was, while Vanessa just looked down to walk to the 2nd floor following Arya. After putting Vanessa's suitcase in her room, Arya then immediately exits Vanessa's room.

"sister here aja sak, do not need to serve them" said Arya briefly, "not Arya, they are our guests, grandfather must serve them" answered Vanessa flatly, "not Arya, they are our guests, which makes Arya take a deep breath instantly, she does not want to see Vanessa humbled by others.

Arya and Vanessa walk up the stairs, before going down the stairs, Arya then looks for a moment at Vanessa, and she again asks Vanessa, “ aren't sure you want to go down?” arya asked doubtfully.

“iya, sister is okay kok dek” said Vanessa assured Arya.

“you don't like that anymore yes, sister does not want you to fuss because sister, later Mila even went mad again with sister” said Vanessa slowly. Arya took a deep breath and then went down followed by Vanessa.

At the dinner table Ardian was sitting with his wife Sarah and also Mila who had put Arya's carrier and her suitcase into their room.

“you can fit in a foursome bedroom?” mila asked confusedly watching Ardian and Sarah.

“load Kok Mil, don't worry gitu” replied Ardian casually.

“right also, the body of sister Sarah will be as small as me, it must fit” Mila half jokingly told Sarah. The joke was followed by the laughter of the three of them.

Arya who had just reached the 1st floor immediately sat down beside Mila, while Vanessa walked into the kitchen to prepare a warm drink.

Arya looked casually at Ardian who was staring at him. Arya momentarily took a deep breath before opening her voice to Ardian.

“sorry, I was just carried away by emotions, just as tired also after walking far, now I have to call you what, is brother also like Mila?” arya said kindly to Ardian.

Ardian then smiles at Arya. “should be so, just like your wife” replied Ardian casually.

“ok, so now what is your purpose to come here?, your arrival is very surprising to us” continued Arya with a relaxed tone without wanting to talk to Ardian.

“do you not want to know my family first?, why immediately talk about serious problems like this, we even wait this late to welcome you guys” said Ardian also casually.

Vanessa then sat down at the table, serving a hot pot of tea in the middle of the table,

“we drink tea just okay ya” said Vanessa in her friendly tone.

“nothing kak” replied Arya while taking a glass and immediately poured Vanessa tea in 5 glasses. Everyone who was there looked carefully at what Arya was doing.

Arya with a relaxed attitude then serves the tea to Ardian, Sarah, Vanessa, Mila, and also herself. “Please drink, tea made by my sister-in-law is quite tasty” said Arya still with her relaxed attitude, she does not want the people there do not appreciate the presence of Vanesa, he said, he felt that neither Ardian nor Sarah would drink tea made by Vanessa, for that Arya served the tea directly in front of them.

“so we discussed what?” arya said after sipping her warm tea,

Sarah who had also just drank the tea that Arya served then smiled looking at Arya, she raised her hand to shake hands with Arya.

“Sarah” said in a friendly manner. Arya just keep quiet, she is not interested at all with the friendly attitude of Sarah. “aku Arya, sorry, I did not touch the skin of women” Arya replied flatly.

“oow, its ok, I like your attitude, my husband should also be rich so” said Sarah still kindly as she pulled her hand.

Sarah then raised her hand towards Vanessa to shake hands with her, ”aku Sarah” said Sarah politely, Vanessa had not had time to welcome Sarah's hand, Ardian had already pulled the hand of his wife, the attitude that made Arya take a rough breath at once, while Mila already understood what his big family's attitude was like to Vanessa, she could only regret it all without being able to fight it.

“sorry bang, I think you do not respect us who are here” said Arya with a tone of dislike.

“You asked why we were snatched?” said Ardian who did not want the atmosphere to be gripping because of the presence of Vanessa.

“we are here because my grandfather told me to bring the company to Malaysia, all the company debts I have paid, some company assets I will bring Malaysia,” continued Ardian explained his arrival, that explanation also made Mila shocked to hear that, while Vanessa only heard that with a flat face, she did not care at all about what was happening in the company.

“what does that mean bang Irman won't lead the company again? “ ask Mila full search.

“dia has a chance of up to a month more, if the company's state does not improve, I will bring the company to Malaysia.” replied Ardian still casually.

Ardian was sitting on the porch of his house with Sarah, while their two children were playing in the yard of the house, they were both enjoying the afternoon in the yard of his grandfather's house.

Amidst their relaxed atmosphere, Irman's car then entered the yard of the house and, Irman nailed his car in front of Vanessa's car, the car, Irman then directly came out and stepped leisurely towards Ardian his eyes displaying a sharp gaze, yet Ardian only casually saw it all.

“bang” murmured Sarah who was not happy to see Irman's presence.

“you take it easy, now accompany the children to play, let me talk to him” said Ardian to calm his wife.

Sarah then said she got up from the chair and then walked towards her 6 and 4-year-old son and daughter.

“so this is grandpa's plan actually” said Irman coldly staring intently at Ardian.

“do you not want to sit down first?” ardian asked casually without caring about Irman's gaze and tone of voice.

“do you think you can snatch the company from me?” irman is full of hate.

“this house still belongs to our family because of me, as well as the company, grandfather has given you a chance and in fact you failed” said Ardian still casually.

Irman breathed a rough calm his emotions. “ I can take care of the company, I just need an injection of funds to improve the company's finances, grandfather just did not want to help me to get funds from the Adinata group, I just need to pay for the money, so you don't think if I fail, I'm still fixing the situation of the company” Irman replied in a cold tone.

“so what do you want?, I just obey my grandfather's desire to bring the company to Malaysia, besides my father's business is growing rapidly there, the company will be much better there.” said Ardian still casually while looking at his son and wife who play in the yard of the house, where Vanessa used to spend her afternoon.

“I want the company to stay here, I will show if I can return the company as usual, even more advanced than before” said Irman cynically.

“company transfer process to Malaysia will take a long time, I give you a month, if you fail, do not block my steps to bring the company to Malaysia.” said Ardian who this time spoke in a flat tone.

‘ a month?, it seems like that is enough, the shareholder meeting will definitely be held before that, and also Mila will also definitely return here soon,’ Inner Irman while closing her eyes, he said, he actually did not like it all, but he also could not avoid it because the man in front of him was the one who had paid all his company's debts to the bank.

“ok, I will show you” said irman who then left with his cynical face.

While Ardian took a deep breath while still paying attention to his little family who was playing in the yard of the house.

FB off

“so your guess is right Arya, grandfather has prepared this all to save the company” said Mila flatly, he was a little disappointed to hear it all, he said, there is a feeling of fear if his brother's life will fall into miskim because of that, a brother's feelings for his brother even though his brother is disrespectful and even demeaning his honor.

“I already know that the company's problem is because of the work of your company Arya, but take it easy, it does not matter to me and grandfather, because from the first grandfather did intend to transfer the company to me, so your company is very helpful to all of this, but if Saniah's problem, he seems not happy with all of this, yes, understand, the issue of inheritance in the family, he said, there must be a problem like this” explained Ardian.

Arya took a deep breath hearing Ardian's explanation, as long as she could be calm and not rash to take action, all the severe problems she faced would have been able to go through, that was the principle that he held so that he could be at that point, not rash to return to the Adinata group without taking into account the strength he had, including not rashly divorcing Mila when the girl hurt him. The principle that made him survive that second, and the principle that made him still be with Mila, even though he had to feel bitter in pain.

‘I have to be calm and patient facing mom, maybe mom is just like Mila, it takes patience to make her accept me’ inner Arya.
