TAKEOVER THE COMPANY'S

AUTHOR POV

"Good morning Brother Nadine!!" arga and Arjuna screeched from a distance.

The volume of their voices was loud enough that Nadine who was engrossed in reading a book in the middle room slightly gasped.

"By the first as well.this makes you surprised to know not!" Nadine immediately washed her hands and greeted her two sisters-in-law with a hug.

"Sorry Brother, it was Arga's idea.he said he wanted to intentionally kagetin!" Arjuna complains and sits next to Nadine.

Nadine probed her gaze at the netra Arga full of intrigue that ignorance. "Hmm.have a habit!"

Arga immediately grabbed Nadine's shoulder and stroked her sister-in-law's distended stomach. "Sorry Brother, but my nieces in the stomach are nothing, right? They must be happy to be visited by a handsome uncle!"

"Beauty is yes, but hopefully the children of Kak Nadine later his behavior is not exactly with Arga who likes to seek attention and fun!" chirps Arjuna.

"Dihh..jahil-jahil like this I was making kangen know not!" sahut Arga does not accept. "Surely after they are born, I will be Uncle ter-the best..is right, Brother?"

Nadine just laughed in her head at the debate between her two sisters-in-law.

"What gender are they, brother? Not checked yet? From now on I have to prepare, I want to buy baby equipment and toys for them!" arga said spirit.

"Not yet to be seen Jun, the last USG time is still bumping his baby! After all your brother Adrian also refused to know their gender early. He said just wait for the next step, so he can surprise.." explained Nadine.

Adrian and Nadine agree to keep their twins' gender a secret. Nadine was curious and wanted to do further tests to find out, but Adrian did not want to. He said, let it be later.

"So mysterious, Ian! But if you know the gender of the baby, it would be better. Can prepare names and others.but yes already back again, like Brother Ian!"

"It can be you!" Nadine patted Arga's arm softly while chuckling. "By the way, what are you doing here? Want to meet Adrian?" ask Nadine.

"Betul Kak, yesterday Brother Ian called me. He said, I'm the same Arga asked to come to the mansion.so here we are right now!" Arjuna.

On this sunny Saturday, Adrian deliberately asked Arga and Arjuna to come to his residence. There is something they need to discuss together.

Shortly after, Adrian finally came down also from the top floor and joined his wife and two sisters who were busy chatting.

"You guys have been here a long time?" adrian asked with his flat face as usual.

"Barusan aja kak, about 15 minutes ago," replied Arjuna.

Adrian then embraces his younger siblings as a greeting to welcome their presence. Not to forget, Adrian ordered the waiter to make a drink and bring snacks for the four of them.

Without wanting to make small talk, Adrian immediately talked about the important points of his intention and purpose to invite Arga and Arjuna to come home.

"Live Arjuna..Arga.ada who wants to tell you. This is very important, this is related to Natadipura Group." Adrian's face turned serious.

"Hmm..wouldn't you guys just talk about it in the workspace? Or am I just leaving, so you can be free to talk?!" said Nadine.

He did not want to interfere with the strangeness of Natadipura's extended family conflict, because he felt it was not his spirit to speak.

"No need for Nadine, just stay here. You're my wife, you deserve to know this too!" adrian resolute.

Nadine nodded in understanding and obeyed her husband's orders.

"Back to the previous topic. Brother wants to inform if Opa asked Valerie to temporarily stay in this mansion." said Adrian.

"Well..Valerie's? The criminal? That's right, brother!" Arga was shocked and confused while showing a face of dislike, as well as Arjuna who gave the same reaction.

"Right, Opa yesterday called Brother to discuss that. And even more strangely, Opa suddenly wanted to consider Natadipura Group to establish cooperation with the family company Malik-Santoso," continued Adrian.

"Wait first..This Opa..Who's opa?" Nadine did not understand who Opa was referring to in their conversation.

Adrian explains, "Opa that's Papa Alan's real father. I haven't been able to introduce him to you because he's been living in Holland all this time. Yesterday, he called, asking me to take Valerie to stay in the temporary mansion. Valerie doesn't have a home and a job right now. Moreover, he has a baby dependant."

"Kis Ian's answer continues what?" arjuna wanted to know.

"Of course reject it. Brother is not that crazy to obey Opa's orders. You all know I hate Valerie. How could I possibly allow him to set foot in this mansion! And about the cooperation with the Malik-Santoso company, they are the enemy of business for a long time. Obviously Big Brother does not want it," stressed Adrian.

"That Valerie has a criminal history. Not to mention Sean, his father is now behind bars after holding his brother Kak Nadine and involved in the murder of his father's plot Kak Nadine..." Arjuna paused his words while thinking hard.

"What's on Opa's mind right now? Why was Opa able to get in touch with those two people? This has nothing to do with Valerie and Sean trailing Nadine and me yesterday while we were shopping!" arjuna continued with passionate emotions.

"They certainly have ulterior intentions. Amazingly, they can affect Opa easily. Something big is being planned by them." - Arga.

"Sister would bet, if his other Papa sisters were involved. Aunt Rose and Om Farhan must have pumped Opa so that I would feel sorry for Valerie's current condition. They must have told Opa to accept the offer of cooperation from Sean," said Adrian full of confidence.

The younger brothers of Papa Alan from a long time ago were always involved in a dispute and feud with Adrian. Competition in the big family is real, even Adrian's cousins also contribute. They do not have the same vision and mission so often intersect when there is a family event held.

"Then, now Brother Ian must be even more extra in guarding Brother Nadine. There's gonna be a lot of danger out there that threatens the peace of your family." Arga gave me advice.

"Without you telling me, Big Brother will definitely do his best to protect Nadine. I'm sure if this is all just Opa's wits so I accept his offer to take over Natadipura Group's company."

According to Adrian's prediction, if he said he agreed to his Opa request, he would definitely retract his crazy ideas. Cheap tricks from Opa like an ultimatum threat or bluff to make Adrian obey his will.

"Opa seems to still hope that Brother can takeover Natadipura Group company. As the family's first grandchild, Big Brother indeed deserves control of the company's assets. Why not just accept it?" this question always lingers in Arga's head.

Somehow his brother always refused hard to take over the leadership of Natadipura Group.

"Sister doesn't want to, because brother wants you two to takeover!" adrian said lightly.

"We sister? Is it not wrong?" pekik Arga.

"Where's wrong? You are a descendant of the Natadipura family, so you are also entitled to the asset, bloodline also you are the son of the eldest son of Opa. Nothing is wrong!"

"But brother-"

Adrian interrupts, "No buts. Your job now is to take over 55% of Natadipura Group's assets."

There are several factors that make Adrian reluctant to takeover Natadipura Group. One of them is the financial company that is not healthy. Long before Papa Alan took the lead and it got worse when Papa Alan was about to resign lately.

It is not Papa Alan is not very clever, but because his brothers are the ones who commit acts of corruption and dilapidated in work. When Papa Alan married Imelda just before, the company was bankrupt because of the company's inability to pay off its long and short-term obligations.

The sisters of Papa Alan were so unreliable that they became a leader. The ending, Papa Alan took pains to cover all the problems that exist. Not to mention, Adrian is lazy to deal with Papa Alan's younger brothers who do not know the lucky. Papa Alan is also too soft and more relented, with the reason not to look for a fuss.

Arjuna doubted, "55% is big you Kak, let alone should be shared with his sister Papa. My ability and Arga are still minimal when it comes to business, I'm not sure I can succeed! Let alone 55%, I who have a 5% stake there is just desperate to keep it."

"Stop being a pessimist! You and Arga were able to lead the company. You guys are less showoff, so Opa only knows two or three grandchildren who are in the business world. Do not think you do not investigate the business you are in secretly, you have seen the progress. I believe you guys!"

Arjuna and Arga looked at each other. They still remain doubtful despite the full support of Adrian.

"Even if we are compatible to takeover the company, still Ian is more reliable. When our sister was our age, brother had already achieved everything. While we are still stuck and have not graduated from college. If you want to takeover a company as big as Natadipura Group, there must be a lot of risks. Not to mention facing Om Farhan, Aunt Rose, and her children! How willing!" Arga expressed his unrest.

"Everything is a process, brother used to be not instant. As long as there is a strong determination and ambition, it can definitely be. My sister will help too! Brother will galvanize you to master how the ins and outs of the business world. Hold the promise of your brother, in just 1 month, 55% of Natadipura Group's assets will fall into your hands" said Adrian with certainty.

Arjuna and Arga can no longer escape. They both try to consider Adrian's advice and follow his brother's plot. They're sure Adrian knows this better.
