The Long Way to Be a CEO

Debts

Rania bowed lethargicly looking at the shabby carpet before her. During this time he persevered with his work as a Kindergarten teacher, with a generous salary alone donations from parents of students who may only get no less than 2 million rupiah each month. Armed with the expertise of drawing, he also opened drawing services on the internet on a platform site that provides drawing services from several local and foreign artists. With his ability in the field of graphics he benefits enough to cover the needs of himself and his son who is currently still attending a private elementary school in Jakarta.

His parents are not entrepreneurs, he is just a civil servant who recently retired at the age of 67 years. After learning that Rania is pregnant out of wedlock, her family begins to stay away and does not give the opportunity to return to her family home, with the condition of conceiving a baby due to her forbidden relationship with Toni, he decided to live independently alone in a rented house 3 plots in a slum area in central Jakarta.

He really did get the unfortunate fate, not only his family, but his old friends left him just like that, including the savage man who had buried the seeds in his womb. Toni left Rania at the age of 5 months. On the grounds that he was going to Sumatra to work in a mining company owned by his uncle, he went and promised to return and every month would continue to send him financial income. But it was only 2 months later, toni disappeared without news after that.

“I'm really sorry I can't help when you need help, I'm sorry ran” I apologized as a close friend I just found out this news fact after meeting stefan.

All these years I broke up with my friends, thinking I might have had some success out there forgetting to tell me. I was reluctant and embarrassed to ask news, of these 3 good friends of mine, only stefan was still in contact and the other 2 could never be contacted again.

“I'm too embarrassed to contact you guys” her face implies a deep pain from all the misfortunes that befell her.

“I could haunt you or stefan, but I'm afraid you guys will stay away from me as well as the other friends”. The foundation connects the sentence with tears that are now dripping.

“Have been Ran, I don't want you to think about things then, we have to keep going, and I need you now, of course I will be happy to help as much as I can for your future life. My love is holding her skinny, unkempt hand.

After that conversation I understood further what kind of life he had been through, also Toni who until today there is no news about him. However, Dea is the fruit of his heart that he loves so much and hopes will provide a life worth more than what he is able to give now.

With little hope, Rania received my invitation to join together to build a company that will later be a lot of work in the field of software house and became the publisher of the Oxygen project. The ability of graphic art that he has is quite good and can give a better impression on the software that I make, he said, this will be the value of more than a variety of applications out there that compete later with the company we will build together.

Our conversation became more relaxed and fluid, no more sadness that haunted Rania's mind. Sometimes joking about our past he recounted with a cheerful look better than before when he told his life. I am grateful that she remains the Rania I know.

“I have a little problem sha..” he said suddenly seriously.

“Whatever it is I will definitely help you, say.”

“With all my heart I will help you build a company, only I ask for a salary every month I smoothly, for the life of my daughter as well to cover my debts” he told me about the problems that were wrapped around his life, he said, debt that continues to accumulate interest in each month.

After agreeing, I also asked the amount of debt he had to pay with the interest. As much as 40 million to pay the entire debt he owed to a loan shark in the city that he had to pay monthly, because it was not completed, then the interest just piled up to this day.

“You are sure sha.. That's money for office rent, right?” ask her.

“Casual.. Office rent is only 50 million per year, after all this is only a small shop, and may only be used by 5 to 7 people.” only. I also told him about the strategy of making the company so that he did not think too much about the money he would use to pay the debt. I'm pretty sure everything will go normally and we can build this from the smallest point to the next big company.

“Alright sha, I'm really grateful for” he bowed before me.

“do not think about it.. We can definitely!” my answer is full of confidence.

The phone ring surprised me when I talked to Rania.

"Sha.. You're done with your friend?" ask indira my lover.

"It has. I'd like to introduce you this afternoon, we'll meet at dekafe ya". I invited rania and Stefan this afternoon at our cafe.

"ok, this afternoon I'll be home at 4, I'll be there".

"ok" I answered briefly ending the call.

"Ran, take the time to get to dekafe ya later at 4" I ordered to rania

"I have something else to talk about, and I want to introduce you to my girlfriend".

"I'll be there with Dea" he replied.

We also say goodbye and today I have to meet with a manager of the central office area for the process of renting buildings that we will use as offices later.
