THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)
65. Chivalry is dead :)
Reksa received confirmation that Ningsih had intervened about Erik. All Arina did was check, behind the scenes, Reksa had already moved all the way.
"Erchiel Mobile decided to cancel the partnership?" The king received a call from his second son, Milwan. "Why is it like this? They don't know what, if they cancel they have to pay compensation?!" The king exclaimed without being able to hold back his emotions.
Across the street, Milwan was silent for a moment before replying "They know and they've chosen to pay the fine."
Although the fine fee was not small, compared to their upcoming projects, the amount was nothing. The company's project has been delayed by a year. For the sake of this project and the continuity of the company, small projects must be stopped temporarily. Any more delays will only add to the unclear cost.
The King's face flushed and he sat down to take a deep breath. "Did they tell you why?"
"Says there's a difference in vision with our company."
Of course the reason was just nonsense and both of them knew. But clearly, something happened that both of them did not realize until it made Erchiel retreat.
"Dad, don't you think this incident was someone's interference?"
Hearing him the King was immediately skeptical. "Even if it's true that someone's interference, you have to find a new partner is the main thing."
"...Fine."
"There's nothing we can do about this. If you can find out, otherwise, just pray the guy stops there."
This year delay makes them a lot behind and the original idea has been copied by many others with a larger investment. With Erchiel's departure, many were reluctant to cooperate. Only small-to-medium companies are willing, but they cannot cover the shortcomings of Triyanto company.
Two days later, Milwan still has not found a new partner. He called the King and relayed the information he had just received.
"What did you say?"
"Erchiel in cooperation with the Mutual company??" The king checked once again and received a positive answer. Even opening the main page of the internet, he could see the news about the cooperation of the two big companies.
"...." - ".If you do not know anything strange, in vain the experience of the King so far. "Dad's gonna try talking to your sister."
Milwan across just assented, but in his heart he guessed. Could it be that his half-brother was agitated and wanted to shake Triyanto to make it more takeoverable? But with this project delayed, Reksa would be equally troubled if Triyanto officially changed hands.
Milwan stopped thinking and called his mother, Ningsih.
"Milwan, son, when are you coming home," greeted his mother as soon as the call was connected.
"Mother," called Milwan, without answering he immediately asked, "Mother is doing something like Mutual?"
Hearing that Ningsih was silent for a moment, while replying there was even a laugh at the end of her sentence, "Oh, why? Something going on with him?"
Recalling Milwan's question, Ningsih immediately denied. "Ngga there's a Mother of the same affair Reksa. Whatever happens to him, it's his fate."
Ningsih who was still drowning in pleasure, thought that Mutual was in trouble, instantly made aware.
"Erchiel Mobile has cancelled its partnership. Chances are our company will be in trouble for a long time."
Those words were like ice water being dropped onto his head, Ningsih instantly rounded his eyes.
"What, what do you mean?"
"Mom knows what our company is like now." Maybe going bankrupt will be their next step. The remaining funds are not enough to continue the project or pay the loan.
"Ca-look for another partner!!"
"I'm on a business, Mom." Milwan said without meaning.
From that answer Ningsih knew that Milwan's efforts were fruitless.
"Ask your wife. Yeah, well, his family does have a company? Ask him to contribute to the family!"
"Mom, Alyona can't do that." Especially the prospects of their company are widely viewed as skeptical lately. When he married Alyona, Alyona's family immediately cut off the relationship. But his mother insisted, what finally happened?
Milwan did not want to think about the bitter incident, but Ningsih did not accept.
"****** that one is secretly teasing you! Just want to eat with Triyanto's money! But this kind of participation is not too bad either! Not even giving birth to a son can!"
Ningsih stopped, but her voice changed. "Son, I just want to do what's best for you. Alyona's a good daughter-in-law, I'm sober."
Milwan whose emotions increased immediately subsided. But the next sentence made Milwan want to curse.
"Mom sure Alyona won't mind you remarrying. We have to prepare for the future. However you have no male successor."
Milwan ignored his mother's words and replied with another thing, "Mom knows who drew Erchiel?" Milwan immediately replied to himself, "Rexa. You know what this means?"
Milwan doesn't want to hear his mother make a mistake on anyone without understanding the real problem point.
"Mother did what to Muta until she specifically hit us like this?"
"What?? Mutual?? He is a child who does not know himself. Now it felt.." but in the middle of Ningsih began to think of Milwan's words.
"Mom, remember our company is in a difficult time. Muta does this he's still kind. If there's really no way to make things right, maybe we're done." Milwan hopes his mother can understand and not use this way again in the back. Even if they can, do it without being discovered, but are they able to?
Compared to the Mutual powers, they were nothing. Triyanto only lives in shells.
"...I know." Ningsih said at last.
The phone was closed, but Ningsih still had other thoughts. King, her husband must have known this. Given the tragedy when Reksa left the house, the King certainly would not make a mistake twice and blame his son. If the King knew all this because Ningsih was playing around in the back..
Ningsih hurried out of the balcony and got off, saying goodbye to her friends at the salon and immediately went home.
When he got home, he saw the King standing facing the window in the living room. His hands were tied behind his back, his back looked like when he was still the president of the company, dominating.
But the King who did not react even though he knew Ningsih had returned signifies that he was angry.
"..Baby…,"
The king turned around and looked at his wife coldly.
"Say, what's the reason this time?"
"My fault, I was wrong." Ningsih said instantly admitting. He lowered his face, putting on a hard face. When she was still beautiful this way was most powerful to make the King give up.
But what age are they? The king who saw and noticed little knew the true nature of his wife. Only because of their relationship all along, and still within reasonable limits did the King allow it.
"But I do it because I care. I only sent information to his uncle Sera about his nephew. Was wrong?"
"Oh yeah? Didn't you know that his uncle Sera was out of prison?" Why deal with ex-convicts, just take care of each other's lives. That criminal trail will only make a stain for Muta. The king will do the same, stay away from such a man.
"Didn't I just give way? He is still part of the family, could they (Reksa&Sera) be that cold to the family? He added that his uncle Sera had just come out of prison and that he was facing hard times. Is it natural that I help?"
"Is that?" The king nodded he turned to look at the window. Suddenly a glass ashtray on the slam, floated past Ningsih's face.
"You….!! How dare you!!" The shocked Ningsih realized the King's treatment just now and went berserk right away.
"We don't think I know what you're like?! Family?! Are you the one who cares about Mutual? Answer and ask your conscience if you still have!! I was tolerant of your previous attitude but the little thing you did this time, which you said was just ‘give me this’ information makes us finish!”
“Go, do not appear in front of my face.” said the King then turned away.
Ningsih stood where she was just silent, but her red eyes held in anger. His wrinkled hand gripped the handkerchief so firmly that it tore it apart.
King, how long have I known you? Something like this can just make you turn to me? Ningsih did not accept.
He's sure the King got something from the Mutual. Otherwise, it might be that the old man was blatantly defending Mutsa and opening up against Ningsih like just now.
Ningsih is on target.
Muta promises something to the King, on condition that he can curb Ningsih and stop harassing them.
The king could not give up on the remaining sweat he had built for the sake of a woman's behavior. Of course Muta conveyed his request in a provocative way, otherwise the King might have been angry just now.
