THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

Chapters. 42

Meanwhile, Bahri, who was not happy to see Zahra as CEO of Bahri Group, tried to instigate the directors and employees of Bahri Group to strike after Zahra led the company.

Although not everyone was consumed by his persuasion still almost thirty percent of the company's leaders went on strike.

Not only the directors and even many employees who were absent from work after hearing the ultimatum from Bahri.

Of course it makes Zahra difficult in carrying out his duties.

This strike made the company's condition worse and caused the stock price to decline.

Knowing the company's stock price declined made Bahri rise and blame Zahra who was considered impudent in running the company.

"I told you I'm the only one who understands Bahri Group the most.

You think you're smart enough to lead this company. Look at the results of your arrogance, now the company's stock price plummeted at the lowest level" said Bahri

"Aren't you the one who made things worse by inciting directors and employees to go on strike?" zahra replied so lightly

"You!" bahri exclaimed so furious after hearing Zahra's reply

"Originally you know that the condition of your company has collapsed before I came. Things get worse after you provoke employees and directors to go on strike. If you'd worked with me, maybe the company wouldn't be like this. If you think you're the one who understands this company the most, you should know better why this company is collapsing??"

Zahra then showed the company's financial statements and sales results one year before Bahri left.

Bahri was so surprised when he saw the cause of his company collapse. He even immediately had a seizure due to a heart attack.

Seeing Bahri collapsed made Zahra immediately contact the ambulance.

Bahri was taken to hospital for a heart attack.

His critical condition meant he had to be treated in an ICU room.

The panicked and frightened Merry came to Zahra at her residence.

The woman begged him to restore her husband's position in order to help her husband's recovery.

"Help me to persuade all the striking Directors to return to work, I promise to make Bahri Group come forward like Bahri Fashion. You know I can't make it happen alone, I need the help of all the employees to make that dream come true. I'm sure your husband will improve soon when he hears the news that Bahri Group has risen from its slump. So how, do you want to help me??" zahra asked Merry

Merry looked dumbfounded at Zahra's reply. He did not expect that the woman who used to always be demeaned and humiliated really care about his company.

He even thought in detail about the condition of the company and its impact on the Bahri family and the people who work in the place.

I did not expect your heart to be so noble, though you looked firm and fierce but your heart was so soft as silk.

Without hesitation Merry then agreed to Zahra's request. The woman was willing to help him persuade the directors and other employees who went on strike after Bahri Group was led by Zahra.

That day Merry held a closed-door meeting with directors who were loyal to her husband.

He then persuaded them to return to work so that the company could get back up soon.

The woman managed to convince the employees by selling her husband's name.

"Trust me that this is a message from my husband, I've heard everything from Zahra. Before he was rushed to the hospital he had time to meet Zahra to talk about the company. Indeed, at first he was not in line with Zahra's thinking, but after seeing the financial statements and sales of the company he only realized that he had to support Zahra if he wanted the company to return to success. But unfortunately he first had a heart attack so did not have time to tell you. So on behalf of my husband, I beg you to help us fight together to save this company from destruction, after all Bahri Group is where you make a living so let's together we support the new company leader to advance our company!" exclaim Merry

Zahra was very grateful for Merry's help and asked the woman.

"Thank you for the help, I hope you will continue to support me because I believe without your help it is impossible to advance this company alone,"

"Of course, if you need anything or want to ask me anything please do. I'm always ready to help at any time" Merry replied

"Thank you Mother" replied Zahra

"I'm actually very embarrassed to have to ask for your help to help our company that is collapsing. Though I used to hurt you and insult you, I'm sorry Za, forgive your mother's lust" said Merry sobbing

Zahra then hugged the woman.

"I have forgiven everything, which has passed let it be a past that we do not need to regret, but make it our drive not to make the same mistakes and become a better person" Zahra replied

"I didn't think you were so wise, I'm really sorry to have wasted a diamond like you,"

****************

Thanks to Zahra's hard work and guidance from Ivory slowly the stock price of Bahri Group began to crawl up.

Even direct product sales shot after Zahra used Zalika as the company's brand ambassador.

By carrying out the concept of shopping while giving charity managed to increase sales of Bahri Group products.

Zahra's success even to get the award as the best young entrepreneur with the best sales amount in Indonesia.

Not to forget like his promise in the promotion of Zahra donated some of the company's profits to the foundation that takes care of children with special needs.

Bahri's condition gradually improved after hearing his company began to rise.

He was so proud after seeing the sales charts of the company. He is even more proud to see the company leader always appear in various media.

"I didn't expect him to make a renewal at the company. Though all this time I always underestimated him but I did not think he was really a true entrepreneur who could turn things around with all his abilities. I hope my children can be like him" Bahri said when he saw Zahra doing a talk show on a television station.

Not long after Bahri recovered from his illness he accidentally invited Zahra to dinner at his home.

In the evening Zahra came to fulfill her invitation with her beloved husband and daughter.

Bahri immediately welcomed his arrival with a friendly even he hugged Zalika who had never done so far.

"My grandson is big apparently, forgive grandfather if all this time grandfather never hugged you let alone talk to you" said Bahri teary-eyed

The man could not hide his regret for ignoring his grandson. He never even touched her from the time he was born until now. He always considered if Zalika was the unlucky bearer but fate actually said another, the little girl he so hated was transformed into a genius child who prides his family. Likewise, the son-in-law he banished has turned into a goddess of salvation for his family.

"Yes grandfather is okay, I understand, grandfather is busy. I'm sure if grandfather is not busy will certainly be more attentive to me," replied Zalika makes Bahri immediately filled to make.

Bahri re-hugged her as her tears suddenly came down wetting her cheeks.

"From now on, I promise I'll take the time to play with you,"
