Picking Up the Past

Unsupportive

Hardi walked quickly to Aliando's room, from the few reports he checked, there were no irregularities. But there was the testimony of one of his field supervisors who admitted there was a black flow of funds during the project.

Hardi opened the door to Aliando's room, the man was talking to one of the businessmen.

“tuan Hardi also came here” said the businessman saw Hardi.

“you come out first, we will discuss”, Aliando told the businessman.

The businessman nodded obediently to Aliando. He immediately stood up and came out with a salute to Hardi.

As the door of the room closed, Hardi could no longer contain his anger, he approached Aliando's table and dropped all the contents of the table onto the floor.

“you really are a bastard” umpatnya roughly.

“what do you want Hardi?” Aliando.

"we're no longer in a relationship, you've broken off our son's engagement, why else would you come here and break my desk like this”

“how dare you embezzle money for our cooperation project” said Hardi with anger.

Aliando was stunned, he did not believe Hardi knew it all, even though he had played in the bottom line so that what he did was not known by his business partners.

“what are you talking about?” aliando asked in evasion

“you see what Arya has prepared for you” said Hardi cynically, “you have brought me the hellhole” Hardi vent all his anger.

Aliando closed his eyes, preparing the money to save his family if he ever had to be in prison.

But he did not expect, the game he arranged as neat as possible, finally sniffed too.

It might even be that it will now take him to prison, not the murder 22 years ago that he did in a heinous manner to take over the Adinata group.

Meanwhile, Anjani is walking towards Arbi's room, he is still confused why his father asked him to meet with Arbi, ‘if he wants to support Arya, he said, why not meet Arya directly’ her inner wonder with her father's attitude.

Anjani entered Arbi's room with a flat face, the man was busy signing some documents at his desk. Arbi smiled at Anjani's arrival, He then immediately stood up and let Anjani sit on his couch.

“I'm glad you came here” said Arbi casually.

“what was yesterday that you discussed my father's stock issue in Adinata group?” ask Anjani.

“iya" answered Arbi briefly, "do you want to drink something” bargained Arbi.

“I hurry, I am here just want to convey my father's message” said Anjani did not want to be stale.

Anjani then sat on the sofa, looking at Arbi who was smiling at him.

"i already know your father's answer, your father will definitely support Arya, he's the most afraid person to risk”

Anjani glares resentfully at Arbi, the man's words seem to take his father lightly.

“so what does your father want?” ask Arbi.

Anjani fell silent, the figure in front of him as if mastering the game. He then took a rough breath to reply to Arbi's words.

“you only lead in small companies like this, but have dared to take lightly my father who is in power in Hardi corp” said Anjani with annoyance.

Arbi momentarily speechless, ‘what am I wrong to say huh?’ his inner.

“I don't want to base on” said Anjani, “we will not vote at the meeting for Arya, this is for the sake of my family's pride, because Arya's position is on the opposite side with my future husband”

“iya is off, but in the eyes of everyone I am still engaged to her, this is for the sake of my family's good name, we can not cancel it carelessly like this, our family can be stamped bad” explained Anjani.

“my father requested that cases related to our company not report, instead, all Hardi corp projects will be given to 3A Friend for the next 2 years” said Anjani conveyed his father's offer.

Arbi momentarily silent, Anjani offer is very interesting, but the problem is not the company 3A Sahabat, but Adinata group.

“it can not, the case that holds the Adinata group directors, if you want to bid, bargain for the Adinata group, especially the position of Arya there” said Arbi.

Anjani fell silent, now he had to make his own offer, because his father only gave one option of the offer.

“why silence?” ask Arbi.

Anjani tries to think hard, what offers he can offer with such a position.

Arbi let off a rough breath, Anjani is not as good as he thought, even though the attitude of the girl was enough to make him challenged when they first spoke in Anjani's room.

“no yes?” ask Arbi again.

Anjani is still trying to think hard, but he does not have the best solution to offer.

“I will talk directly with Arya” said Anjani gave up on the situation, he did not want to look weak in front of Arbi.

Anjani then gets up to descend to the 4th floor, but Arbi's voice stops her steps.

“Arya must have helped your father, because this also relates to your future in that company” said Arbi.

“we want your father's support, but if your father can't because of your family's good name, we also appreciate it”

Anjani turned her body to look at Arbi, the man's eyes looking flat, but her retina showed an ambition.

“my engagement was held very luxurious and large, if it was delivered to everyone if the engagement was void, how shameful our family, shareholders would also respond to our family, he said, we will be accused of being power hungry, having no stance and tailing on the victorious” Anjani explained slowly.

Anjani heart feels slashed, he will be considered weak by everyone. His father's decision made his position even more difficult. Worse, he is Hardi's only child, the one who is expected to continue the leadership of the Hardi corp.

But the conditions that exist instead make his position increasingly rated weak and low by everyone. She will be judged by many as a woman who can be used as a business tool.

Arbi looked concernedly at Anjani, he understood the position of the girl. He has assessed what Anjani's position has been like so far. Become a tool of his father's business, and in the end he became a victim of the failure of his father's strategy.

“aku and Arya will close the case for you,” Arbi said.

“in exchange, I want to have dinner together with you if there is a chance” Arbi said carefully.

If he invites Anjani directly, surely Anjani who looks arrogant in his eyes will refuse. Perhaps by taking advantage of the situation, he could have a chance to get close to Anjani.

While Anjani swallows her saliva hearing Arbi sayings, “do you also want to make me your business tool?”.

“business tools?” muttered Arbi in confusion.

“my father made me his business tool by setting me up, his goal was to save my family, and now you're doing something similar”

Arbi bit her own tongue, ‘ha shit, one more’ her inner self.

“not that Anjani, me, I and Arya must help you, you are Arya's friend, don't think about my words earlier, I just want to talk” said Arbi trying to save herself from Anjani's bad judgment.

Anjani then immediately came out, he did not want to look weak in front of Arbi, what else he felt the gaze of the man was like harboring a taste to him. He does not want to be considered a woman who can be easily obtained.

While Arbi rubbed his face rough, he used to be so easy to get the woman he liked, now Anjani instead made him start to feel riled up.
