Picking Up the Past

Last War

“What do you mean Rahman?, what war are you talking about?” asked Mr. Sarman who immediately saw the middle-aged man named Rahman with surprise, as well as the Saniah mother, he saw Rahman with a confused view.

“maybe this will be our last fight, because only a defeat that we almost certainly get from this war, after this war maybe we will fate the same as Arjun's secretary, Arjun, and those who are loyal to the other Gibran masters” Rahman said again.

“But we will keep going, this is what we can prove to the Lord Spirit of Gibran who may be looking at us right now, we are not the traitors to him, he said, unless we are faithful to him, we are ready to risk our lives to preserve the honor of Lord Gibran which has been tarnished in the eyes of the world, only with this can we avenge Mr. Gibran's priceless kindness to us and our family.” the man said again with great meaning.

Mr. Sarman took a deep breath hearing it all, “it looks like I will see this kind of business and political fight again, but I will not be directly involved in the arena like I used to be, my daughter is going to replace my position later” said Mr. Sarman while glancing at Ms. Saniah, while Saniah can only swallow her saliva listening to her father's words.

“what happened in the company?” asked Mr. Sarman to Rahman, Rahman took a deep breath, he then noticed the situation around the room to make sure no one else was there, he found a door in the corner of the room,

“try you check there” pinta Rahman on the middle-aged man who came with him.

“no one else there” said Bu Saniah who understood Rahman's purpose.

The person who checked the door only found an empty toilet, he then looked at Rahman and shook his head.

“Gini sir, Aliando already have an agreement to match his son with the daughter of Hardi,” said Rahman who made Mr. Sarman growled angry hearing it.

“so this is his way to make his son as CEO his successor” furious sir Sarman full of emotions, he really hates people who thirst for wealth and power. What else is it like Aliando who has cast out many people and destroyed many families to seize what is not his right.

“Aliando seems to have given up on usurping the company from Mr. Gibran, since the body of young lord Indra was never found, he now wants to try another way to seize the company, he said, he made his son CEO with shares of Hardi as his strength, we don't want that to happen, if our young master Indra comes back, then he won't get anything from the company, he said, because the presence of the new CEO will make Mr. Gibran shares held by the company will be released to the capital market” Rahman continued again.

“You're sure Gibran's son is still alive? You must have known the results of the police examination is actually Rahman?, the contents must be different from all media news that” asked Mr. Sarman who was interested in the words of young master Indra we returned from Rahman.

“I have kept a copy of the police report, Mr. Gibran's blood was found scattered from the living room to the room where his body was found, it proves Mr. Gibran did not commit suicide at all, but he was executed in the living room and his body was dragged to the front of the room, there were children's fingerprints on Ms. Naina's shirt, but none on Mr. Gibran's shirt, it proves that the young master had touched Miss Naina when Miss Naina was executed, but she did not touch Mr. Gibran, There is not a single piece of evidence that shows the young master Indra died that night, Police found the fingerprints of the children in Ms. Naina's clothes, in the open window of Ms. Naina's room and also in the back gate of Mr. Gibran's house that opened that night, We can only speculate the young master is still alive and escaped from Ms. Naina's bedroom window and ran away from home from the rear gate” Rahman continued. Ms. Saniah swallowed her saliva again hearing it all, at least what she heard could add to her strong guess as to who Arya really was.

“police has also long stopped searching for young lord Indra, we are already looking for young masters all over Jakarta and cities around Jakarta, we've also examined samples of many children to match Mr. Gibran's DNA, but we didn't find one that matched Mr. Gibran's, either, we have not been able to find young master Indra until now” continued Rahman again.

“then what do you expect from your fight with Aliando this time?” asked Mr. Sarman again full of investigation, he still felt worry, because there will be many more families destroyed by the fight.

“then what if the child is dead?, isn't what you're doing this going to be a waste, you're just going to destroy your own life Rahman, you've seen what Arjun looks like now, you know, do you want to be like him?” continued Mr. Sarman again asked in an emotional tone, he did not want at all good people who are still loyal to Gibran will be destroyed like the Arjun family, he said, to date, he does not know what he is like, which he knows only Arjun is still languishing behind bars for defamation of corporate money.

“we work for the Adinata family, not for the Adinata company, we will try our best to keep the Adinata family as the majority shareholder of the Adianata group, we have fought for this for many years, against Aliando who repeatedly falsified the death data of young master Indra, 22 years we fight for the status of young master Indra still considered alive by this world, against all the bad guys who want to take down the big name of the adinata, so that the status of Mr. Gibran's shares remains held by the company until the young lord Indra returns, we forged a lot of documents, bribing many people so that the government, police, hospitals and courts do not declare Indra's young master dead to secure his status as the true heir to the company, it's not an easy job for us to maintain the living status of a child for 22 years that we don't know where he is, we will keep fighting, until we were devastated by this struggle” explained Rahman emotionally to Mr. Sarman, he can speak openly to Mr. Sarman because he knows very well that Mr. Sarman is part of the people who are on their side, wanting the Adinata group back to the real heir.

“you are the same as walking towards your own destruction at this time” said Mr. Sarman full of emphasis, yes it has seen many people who are hurt in the struggle for business power like that, many people had to die the lives he saw to fulfill the ambitious desires of power-seekers in the business world. Many children's futures are ruined by that ambition, many children have had to lose their childhoods because their parents are busy elbowing each other in the arena of business and power battles.

“we prefer to be destroyed with the adinata family, and at least with this we will smile to meet Mr. Gibran and miss Naina in heaven, he said, but if we do nothing and let all this happen, we will be ashamed to meet Mr. Gibran later, he said, because of his kindness to us and our family we cannot pay with our loyalty to him” Rahman continued emotionally.

“I really salute you Rahman, to Arjun who is more willing to be imprisoned and his family destroyed than to betray Gibran who has died, and also those who are still loyal to Gibran until now.” Sarman said as he let out a rough breath, he realized that he could do nothing to protect the good people who were still loyal to Gibran.

“I hope you want to help us sir, you have 3.5% stake in the company, it will be very valuable for us, we do not have anything to bid the shares to you, we do not have anything to offer you, but of course we really hope you want to ally with us in this fight”

“when is Rahman's GMS?” ask Mr. Sarman in his tone.

“The Board of Commissioners will file it next month, after the news of the matchmaking of Aliando's son appeared, all the directors and board of commissioners were shocked, now the board of commissioners is compiling some reports for the submission of the dismissal of Aliando, but still the decision later is a vote of the owners of stock”

“then what happens if Aliando wins?”, asked Sarman again with full investigation, he still wants to know all the possibilities that occur due to the fight.

“after his son is married, he will step down from the CEO, Mr. Gibran's mandate will be returned to Mr. Gibran's personal lawyer, and the company will have to sell Mr. Gibran's shares that they still hold to the capital market, and after that, Aliando's son through his son Hardi will be the largest shareholder in the company, this is what we don't want sir, if that happens, he said, then Aliando will be successful in making Adinata group into his family's business empire”.

“so that's the plan with this wedding”ucap pak Sarman take off a rough breath.

“but there is still another possibility, this could be just Hardi's strategy to merge his company with the Adinata group under his control, After their son got married, then Aliando resigned from his position as CEO, and the shares of Mr. Gibran sold to the capital market, Hardi could have dumped the son of Aliando who became his son-in-law, he who will become the largest shareholder in the company later and master the adinata group, he said, this is really a war sir, and we have to keep the good name of Mr. Gibran here” explained Rahman again.

Mr. Sarman took a rough breath hearing it all, he was really tired to hear the fight of ambitious humans looking for that treasure and power, he said, the real thing he had seen and heard during his playing in the business world.
