The Perfect Happiness

S2 - Eps 109

Still Tika POVs.

Time has shown at four in the afternoon. Jefri was waiting for me downstairs. I got off with some parcels I received from some of my coworkers.

"There's another party?" then he kissed my forehead. I just answered with a nod of my head. He chuckles.

"Sorry, where did it all go?" A security guard showed me some cookies and other items they picked up to help me clean it up.

"Oh, get in that car, let's sir." Jefri directed some office boy who helped me to clean up some of the stuff I brought home. Including some of the parcels that were in my hand.

I stared at this office lobby for a while, waiting for it to be over. I have been a resident of this office for a long time. It's not easy to leave a career I've been fighting for a long time.

But everything has to happen. I stroked my own stomach gently. While taking a few breaths and trying to exhale slowly. Jefri looked busy, he helped lift some of my stuff from the desk I had cleaned. Until it's finally finished.

"Yuks, it's all." Jefri reached out his hand to help me stand up from my office lobby sofa. Once again I looked around then my gaze ended on my husband's face looking at me.

Once I got home, I headed straight to the bathroom to clean my body.

———————————————

Jefri POV's.

After I finished checking up, had lunch and returned to deliver Tika to her office, I immediately drove off to the restaurant where Max and I had already made an appointment.

Yeah, it's not usually Max specifically wants to meet me like this. Sounds very formal and serious.

Once there, I immediately searched where Max was sitting and found him waving his hands at me. I approached him, shook hands and sat down in front of him.

"Sorry suddenly asked to see you here." Max opens the sound.

"No papa." That's all I can answer.

Without further ado, Max immediately took some documents that were already on his desk. Open the map and then thrust it at me.

At first I was confused by some of the initial sentences written on the initial sheet of the paper. While occasionally glancing at Max who was still watching me. Slowly I began to read through the documents one by one until they were finished.

While Max was eating his lunch in front of me. I did tell him, if I had lunch with Tika earlier. So I just ordered a glass of drink.

"So Great Company lost the tender to your subsidiary?" I was shocked when I finished reading all the documents. Max simply nodded then fed his last piece of steak meat into his mouth.

Max eats quietly and decisively. Yeah, I admit it. It seems very clear how to eat at this time is much different from when he ate together with family. Maybe that is the attitude of professionalism that he upholds.

"Everything is explained in the document. And before the problem widens, I want to propose one option. Great Company can still stand and I can give you back the tender. With the record, we're acquisitions. So for your raw materials that provide. Workers are all of us." Max explained very clearly and easily I digested. It's just that I feel like I need to rethink.

"I have to talk to you first. It's the first day I'm in the chair."

"Necessary. Don't let anyone know about this, it's enough of us. I've been very guilty about your papa's condition down and it turns out to be the result of this tender. If only from the beginning I had known the Great Company was a newly pioneered subsidiary of your papa, I would have backed down." Max leaned his back against his chair. Grab a glass of wine in the message.

"All decisions are in your hands. Despite the acquisition, the company remains yours. I'm just trying to get back some of the money your papa has already spent. And keep carrying my subsidiary's flag to carry out the project." Max explained everything.

"What major companies will also recover after the acquisition?" A stupid question came out of my mouth. Because Max had a grin as soon as he heard the question.

"Everything will be stable if you take the right path. Anyway I heard you wanted to take Tika's boss company for cooperation, right?"

"Yes, I've put forward some conditions. Actually it's just an excuse, let the boss want to let Tika stop working there." I let out a breath.

Max scrunched his eyebrows. "Where's still bothering Tika?"

"He called me yesterday too. Threatened to call Tika by force and in any way. And today, Tika's last day of work."

I explained to Max all the problems about Dana. Whether that's the case with Tika or Lisa. I admit, all these problems happened because of Lisa. But it may also happen even without its carelessness.

"I already know. I was taken straight from Lisa. I also regret that this has to happen. Thank you for always looking after my sister until this second," said Max and then sipped the contents of the glass with one lift.

***

It's over I dropped all Tika's stuff. He even went to the bathroom first. Until I decided to smoke for a while, thinking about Max's offer.

Moreover, he said no one should know about this. There is also a point, so that no speculation outside there is growing. So that there will be no people who lead public opinion in a negative direction.

After that, I decided to go to the bathroom and shower, maybe Tika was done. Not until I set foot on the last step of the stairs did I hear Tika talking on the phone with someone. I stopped moving and listened.

"Yes can not dong .. where I know if there is news, besides you also promise to boycott the news so as not to appear, why can it appear?" Tika snorted annoyed at that moment.

I felt like something was being covered up. And from his words, like he was talking about something related to me. I slowly moved my feet to get closer to her.

"Trus did you tell Jefri? What's he saying, want him acquired?" The next sentence that came out of Tika's mouth was like a big blow to me.

So all this time he knew the cause of papa's stroke?

He had also known for a long time about papa's subsidiary that was about to collapse?

Why didn't he tell me as soon as possible?

Suddenly anger enveloped me. There was a slight sense of disappointment in Tika trying to cover all this up. And fatal again, he knew clearly all the problems of papa's company from the beginning.

I immediately took his phone that was stuck to his ear, he was surprised. I glanced at the name of who called him. Turns out I was right, the call was from Max. I turned off the phone. I held her phone tightly.

Tika looked at me with a pale face. "You've known about all this for a long time? Why don't you tell me?" I tried to hold back my anger.

Tika has not yet answered my question. I re-examined him with another question. "We never promised. Whatever the case may be, we can talk as soon as possible. It's been going on for months. Max says no one knows all this, in fact you know and choose to make it?" I raised my voice even more.

"Darling, I'm finding the right time to say ...." Tika grabbed my hand which I immediately brushed aside violently. I don't feel happy being treated like this.

I looked at him with great regret.

"I don't mean to hide everything, I'm just—" Tika gave an excuse. But I cut off his words immediately.

"No point but you did until now. You want to squirm your husband is in a state of slump when replacing papa's office? You still want me to throw away my ego to return to this position because what? For whom?"

"Darling I'm sorry, I don't want to hide everything, I just need time to talk to you" he whined as he tried to grab my hand. I always put that hand away.

I was disappointed with his attitude this time. Big problem in papa company, he let drag on. Maybe if it's any other problem I can take it. Because the cost of papa's treatment is taken from some shares that papa has, until finally there are some shares that must be sold for the cost.

And if I had known about this problem first, long before I took office. Maybe I can anticipate about the cash expenditure that has grown.

I left Tika in the bathroom, she was still trying to grab my hand. And many times I've been pushed over.

Bruk!!

I slammed quite hard on the bathroom door.

I felt betrayed by my own wife.

I poured my body with warm water from the shower. Trying to calm my emotions. I realized I was wrong to treat Tika like that. I'm sure he's feeling hurt.

But I'm sicker. He and his brother hid all this for months. Trying to cover everything. Even what I heard earlier, Max who from the beginning knew had tried to suppress this news from appearing in the media.

Because if it's like this. News has emerged, then it will have an impact on all cooperation that has been run by major companies. Then what can I do??

Maybe just waiting for the moment of the collapse of this family company.

I really feel upset about everything.

After I finished the bath, as soon as I opened the door there was Tika standing with her face covered with tears. Then spontaneously he hugged me. Saying his apology many times. But my heart hurts too much for all this.

I acted indifferently, limping from his embrace, I headed to the wardrobe lamari and picked my clothes there. Tika was still following me with both of her hands hugging me. My mind is too upset. I couldn't hear clearly what he was talking about.

Even many times I snapped at him and last I subconsciously pushed him. Until he fell on the floor. Then with a sense of pride, I immediately set foot away from home. Leave him alone.
