The Twin CEOs of Amnesia

Not failing at all

Elsewhere, precisely in Bara's office, it appears Bara, Satya and Adrian are seriously talking about something. The clock on the wall was showing at 11am by noon.

Their conversation stopped when someone knocked on the door.

"Lake in!" tell Bara firmly.

The task of the door seems to be spinning a sign of people out there opening the door. Sure enough, the door finally opened and someone entered.

"Tristan, why is this hour you just arrived? didn't you come back from Bali last night? and where have you been? why don't you go home?" blazing Bara in a row towards Tristan.

Tristan could not answer because he honestly felt that his father was angry with him. And he also felt that his failure even though it was not intended, increasingly showed that he was not the biological child of Bara. Tristan did not ask where her father could know that he had returned from Bali. He was sure that Om Satya must have informed his father.

"Tristan, why don't you answer?" reload again.

"Sorry, Pa!" instead of answering Bara's question, Tristan apologized.

"Sorry for what?" bara asked pretending not to know why her son apologized.

"I'm sorry I failed to get that project. Papa must have been disappointed in me, and Papa must have regretted entrusting me to handle the project" Tristan said softly.

Bara exhaled with a single bang and stood up from his seat of greatness, then stepped over to Tristan.

"You sit down first!" Bara invites his son to sit on the sofa, while Satya and Adrian follow.

"Tristan, who said papa was disappointed? papa is very proud of you, who know to prioritize which is more important first. Papa knows, you have ordered people to save Salena, but you can feel how you feel that you will not feel calm, if you do not do it yourself, so you decide to jump directly. Papa doesn't blame you, son. So you do not feel that you have disappointed papa. Once again Papa wants to emphasize that papa is very proud of you who can show your sense of responsibility," Bara said while patting Tristan's shoulders proudly.

"Om would also like to thank you for saving my daughter's self-esteem. Om is increasingly convinced that you are able to protect my daughter in the future," Satya also open her voice chiming in Bara's speech.

The two corners of Tristan's lips were now curved to form a smile. However, it could be seen from his smile if in fact the man had not fully felt relieved, because there was still a lingering feeling in his heart, where he felt that he still failed to prove his ability to Bara papa.

"Tristan, why are you still quiet, son? are you still thinking about the problem of the project you failed to get?" tukas Bara squinted his eyes.

Tristan did not reply at all because he already knew without him answering even his papa must have known the answer.

Tristan stares at Bara with a look of disbelief. How can he believe that he won, while he has not presented his proposal at all to Mr Maxwell.

"What a joke, right?"

"Why? do you not believe? papa's not kidding at all,. Tristan!" sahut Bara with confidence and steady. However, it still could not make Tristan believe it just like that.

"What your papa said was, right, Tristan! Mr. Maxwell has entrusted you to do this great project," Satya again opened his voice chiming in Bara's words.

"W-how could it be, then,? I did submit the proposal to him, but I didn't have time to present the proposal, Pa, Om!" Tristan shook his head hard to believe.

Bara smiled again and sighed with a single blow.

"Said Mr. Maxwell, he saw that you were the man in charge. Even if you didn't present your proposal, but he believed that you deserved the opportunity, because he saw from your sense of responsibility and courage, who immediately came to apologize and said he didn't mean to play tricks on him. He also judged from the reasons you said, why you should go. From there he judged that you could be given a big responsibility, not just talk. He also said that there was no point, a good proposal, a good presentation, but it was not accountable. With you coming to him before deciding to leave, he feels that you appreciate him, and your attitude has made him believe that you are the right person," Bara said at length without pause.

Tristan dumbfounded, silent a thousand languages. What he had just heard really made him at a loss for words. The man was still hard to believe what he heard. "Pa, isn't Papa playing behind me?" the corner of Tristan's eyebrows slightly rose upwards staring at Bara with a probing gaze. It was not without reason why the man could doubt. It was because he knew that his papa had a prestige and was highly valued.

"Did you think Papa was that slick?" Smirk smile bara.

"Papa has never lobbied Mr. Maxwell behind you and has never thought of doing anything like that . You know why? Because it has violated papa's principle. Because according to papa such a thing, is also a devious act, which deliberately uses the big name Papa to smooth the achievement of the child's wishes. And that according to papa does not include educational actions, it makes you more dependent on papa.

And if Papa does that .. it's the same as I doubt my children's abilities, and indirectly make my children have a false pride. They are proud of what is not their achievement. Something like that one day, sooner or later it will be dismantled. And it can be ascertained that it will be more painful later on the three of you if you know your success just because of papa's intervention. Papa is sure that your pride will be hurt. That's what you don't want to happen, son." continued Bara again, explaining firmly and straightforwardly.

Hearing the long words of her papa, Tristan was finally able to smile widely and this time was really sincere. "Thank you, Pa has believed and can understand my will. I'm proud of papa!"

Bara smiled again and patted Tristan on the shoulder. "There is no need to thank because it should and is commonplace for a father. A mother teaches me tenderness, and a father teaches courage and is a man of principles." said the middle-aged man with a smile that did not fade from his lips.

"Hmm, if it's like this, it means it will be more difficult for Arya to compete with Tristan to get Salena," said Adrian who from earlier was only a true listener.
