The Ours In Another Story

73. Caught

From his wheelchair Jeffrey smiled at the jokes of his three children who he secretly missed. He really misses seeing his twin boys pranking his sister. She also misses seeing Junius will laugh as he manages to return her brother's words. These three sons were the lamp of his life. These three sons are the source of his strength and even these three sons are what made Jeffrey decide to wake up again after being in a coma for several days due to a stroke.

"Papa's kids are already big. Remember, kids, you are the Kusuma Family's pillar. Papa is no longer able to support it so Papa trusts our tower to the three of you" said Papa.

"Papa take it easy, as long as Prasetya Jovando Kusuma is still breathing, Kusuma Group will always be safe" Jovan said.

"Dih pede's. Prasetya Jevando Kusuma will also always install a shield to protect," replied Jevan.

"Haha, the two of you will not be able to do anything if there is no Junius Chandra Kusuma."

"really. You three triple J beloved Mama and Papa. All three of you are good mama, Mama's prince. Promise Mama, the three of you should always be together. Whatever happens, you are brothers. You are one" said Mama.

"Pray the three of us Ma" said Jovan.

"Surely."

"Let's go Papa, Mama, it's time for the show to start" said Junius who began pushing Papa's wheelchair towards the meeting room.

Papa entered while being pushed by Junius. Followed by Mama and their two twins. All of them immediately sat in the chair that had been provided while Junius still remained behind Papa who was now sitting in the chair usually occupied by a president director.

"I won't beat around the bush. On this happy occasion I would like to submit my resignation and as to who will take my place, I will propose my eldest son, Prasetya Jovando Kusuma. He who became a former executive manager at his old company has now decided to go back home and continue my mission to bring the company's goals," Jeffrey said as he stared intently at Jovan.

Papa has announced Prasetya Jovando Kusuma as his successor. After the councils had simply deduced they decided the same. Jovando is now officially the new president of the Kusuma Group. Even his appointment file was approved by all the board members present. Of the many only one looks unhappy. Yes that person is the one who will be the main star in the trial this time.

"Congratulations Mr. Jovan, you're a legitimate president. Please give a word of two to all those present" Papa's secretary said.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to lead you who are definitely better than me. I ask for his guidance and direction, hopefully with me sitting in this chair I can bring Kusuma Group to the peak of its glory," said Jovan answered by applause from all who attended.

"And as my first step on the journey to bring Kusuma Group I will call Mr. Bejo to come forward and help me read something to all of you" said Jovan.

Mr. Bejo who was summoned directly advanced forward. He received a stopmap from Jovando's hand and then stood on the podium preparing to read what was inside. Mr. Bejo was immediately shocked to find out if what was written in it was a recap of Kusuma Group's financial statements for the past 5 years. He immediately trembled as he saw that there was such a big difference there even though he had been responsible for financial problems.

"obvious. Because you're in charge," Jevan said, pressing the remote, showing the contents of the document through the monitor screen made the entire room rowdy.

"Can you please explain what's in there?" ask Jovan.

"Maa.., sorry.., I.., I do not know if..," said Mr. Bejo stammered.

"Obviously you don't know, because from the beginning you've been lied to," said Jovan made the whole room back silent. He turned his standing position now staring at the entire audience and then looked back at Mr. Bejo.

"You must know if before the report gets to you must go through the head of the warehouse first, after that checked by the new supervisor the report goes into your hands and you sign it. Then you only need to match the proposal that has been submitted before with the invoice in your hands. Your mistake is only one sir, you do not check the field conditions whether the report you receive is true or not" said Jovan again.

"Sorry.., I...."

"There is no need to apologize to me, sir, you just improve the performance of the Father so that it can be better. Not the father I will punish today but Mr. Haryo who is the mastermind of many cases of corruption and embezzlement of company money even for many years," jovan said that directly assigns the blame to the real culprit.

"What the fuck? I am a loyal employee of the Kusuma Group. I don't take the blame for it, just like that" said a shocked Mr. Haryo standing up from his seat.

Jovan then stood to replace Mr. Bejo who had paled on the podium. Jovan switched the monitor to show some other documents Jevan and Junius found in the field after several weeks of investigation, "You want to know where I got this record right?" ask Jovan to Mr. Haryo who began to turn pale when Jovan showed something that should not be known by people other than himself and the concerned.

"The head of the warehouse that you gave the money to shut up confessed it to us yesterday. He also said that if you continue to threaten if this information is leaked," continued Jovan.

"How Sir? Is what I'm saying true or is it possible that if you feel slandered we just bring the head of the warehouse here?" threatening Jovan makes Pak Haryo grin.

"Then what? You're gonna fire me? Just do it, and you will regret it for life. I am a shareholder in Kusuma Group. I'm also an important office that's not easy to replace, where would you look for my replacement when you fired me?" said Mr. Haryo.

"This is how a mouse gets cornered. It could threaten. Need your conspiracy with a number of members of the House of Representatives I expose here as well? You know Jamal? Do you think your relationship will help you? Not likely. Because at this time the police may have raided his office and arrested him for questioning" said Jevando who came forward.

"Cutting a broken branch from a tree would be better. Trees always have a way of growing new stems. I'm sure the Kusuma Group will not be destroyed just because of your loss" Junius said.
