Radit Will be Promoted
"Uh, sir!" he called with outstretched hands so that Mr. Edi would take a step closer to him.
"Yes, Lord Arsya?" Mr. Edi also approached with a questioning face because Arsya also showed his face which could not be interpreted what the purpose and purpose of calling him was again.
"Radit is home?" Arsya asked his step-brother, who a year ago had graduated from bachelor's degree but was still taking courses from previous entrepreneurs before he was accepted into the company as the main director.
It was Arsya who put forward the requirements so that Radit, his half-brother, could understand better before going directly into the field.
He has learned many things, both marketing, leadership, and various things that can be a selling point for the company in the future.
Not to forget, Radit is also trained to find out the latest technology updates such as market places, websites, social media for business, graphic design and various other things.
"Oh Lord Radit, just now his friends came here and then they left, until now it seems Lord is not home yet," replied Mr. Edi with a frown on his face, a sign that he was remembering what happened this morning related to Radit.
Arsya nodded, thanking her for being told.
Without replying to Mr. Edi and simply pointing his hand so that Mr. Edi could resume his duties, Arsya also turned his body back into the house.
Just as his legs were swinging, Mina—his sister came with her bicycle which she was leading while calling for Arsya from the front gate.
"Brother Arsya!" the call is quite loud and shrill.
Arsya looked up with a frown on his forehead, hearing Mina's shrill voice, which was like hearing a moneymaker who was always screaming, who became their family's regular.
"Brother why are you home early?"Mina asked after storing her bicycle at the security post and now in front of Arsya while shaking her brother's hand.
"As i wish, brother, the CEO is also a brother," Arsya replied arrogantly, but it was just a joke that was often thrown at Mina. Not to be too serious.
"Yes, very arrogant," Mina teased as Arsya hugged her neck and walked into the house.
"It's not arrogant, Mina."
"So what?" Mina's face looked up as if challenging her step brother's words just now.
Arya smiled seductively.
"This is confident. In the business world, confidence is very necessary. Because if you don't, you will be easily knocked down by people's insults. If you are confident and believe in your abilities, and humble yourself as low as you can, then there will be no one who will look down on you and yell at you again. People are confident and humble, right?"
Arsya who smiled, actually made Mina not guess what the meaning of his words just now.
"Strange, confident but must be as low as possible. You're weird, brother."
"One day you'll understand why, don't worry. Just enjoy your teenage years now."
"Emch," Mina replied as she rolled her eyes. Arsya pinched the sharp nose, and the two of them giggled together while still walking towards their room. "Ah, Brother, my nose will be snub."
"How is this pug, it's actually nailed."
"Arsya!" a loud voice broke their jokes, heard above the stairs.
They both turned their heads, Arsya removed his hand from Mina's nose which had made it difficult for his sister to breathe.
"There, enter the room. You change your clothes!" ordered Arsya to Mina and she immediately obeyed.
Mina knew if that person had called her brother as loudly as before, it meant that something was wrong at the office.
The person then came down from the stairs, Arsya just stood and looked at the steps that set her feet step by step down.
Hendrawan, his father looks unusual today.
Maybe because Arsya wasn't in the office and decided to leave at nine this morning.
"Where have you been? Bram kept calling dad, he said your cellphone was turned off, and you just left the office. Even though in the office everyone asks for your decision because there are losses that have been made by employees. Do you actually intend to work or not, Arsya?" Hendrawan snapped at his own biological son.
Arsya had often been scolded by his father and after that his stepmother came and defended him like now.
Nia comes rushing to catch up with her husband who is now facing each other with Arsya.
"I was on campus, there was a final subject before the thesis," replied Arsya.
"The reason is you, Rachel said that you and Irwan were gone. Isn't it that there are no more discussions with Irwan? Is there a new contract or business renewal? No, right?" Hendrawan already has a feeling that Arsya is just trying to run away from responsibility.
Arsya's performance is always good, but whenever there is a problem in the office, Arsya always assigns it to her subordinate, Bram.
After Nia was between the two of them, she then held Arsya's arm.
Rubbing him gently, and always issuing his flagship move, namely defending Arsya even though he was wrong.
"Dad, Arsya must be very tired. He might need to refresh for a while, right, Arsya?"
Arsya was silent, he turned his face haphazardly in the direction he could see.
"Just keep defending Arsya, this isn't the first time either. It's been many times, Nia." Hendrawan pointed at his own biological son with emotion.
He actually knew that Arsya's performance was declining. And that's because he's back thinking about his departed mother.
Especially if Arsya has been seen often going out at night just to go to the bus stop. Of course, it is guaranteed that there will be work that Arsya ignores.
"Yes, but Arsya is also studying, Dad. He must be tired. Now you just go to your room, Mama has also cooked something delicious for tonight with Aunt Ani. Now Arsya just take a break, okay?" Nia persuaded, she was always the best at calming Arsya's emotions from the start.
Suddenly, the door of the house opened. Radit has gone home, he has a lot of books in his arms.
Radit is indeed a geeky child who is slang, he also if he has learned something he must memorize it fluently.
"Assalamualaikum." Raditz says hello.
Everyone answered in unison, including Arsya who is currently being tried by Hendrawan.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Radit already knew what the problem was.
"Wa'alaikumsalam."
"Here you are Radit!" Hendrawan called out to him while sticking out his hand, ordering Radit to come closer to him.
With a glance, Nia told her son not to obey Hendrawan for long.
Radit also saw the movement of his eyes, glances that indicated a hidden order.
"Yeah, what's up, Dad?" he asked in surprise.
Radit is not sure why his father called him when he just came.
He embraced his stepson, who had been recognized as his own son.
"Tomorrow, you are allowed to become the main director of the company," he said suddenly, Nia's smile could not be prevented either.
That's what he wants, he wants Radit who is more powerful.
But, Radit really understands what Arsya is feeling right now.
Radit also knows that actually Arsya's mental fluctuations are the cause of the medicine that her mother often gives to Arsya.
At first, Nia always gave sleeping pills so that Arsya could fall asleep, because if she didn't … Arsya wouldn't sleep until the sun rose in the morning.
As a result of his mother leaving, Arsya always has nightmares and doesn't want to sleep and prefers to stay up all night.
Nia knows that her stepson is stressed, she uses the situation as best she can and provides her help with tranquilizers until Arsya becomes addicted.
Without medicine, he would not be able to calm down.
Until once Arsya lost without Hendrawan knowing, Radit forced his mother to take Arsya to the doctor and stopped his act of force-feeding Arsya, but Nia didn't do it.
He again increased the dose and always took Arsya to a fake psychiatrist who would give him fake medicine and Radit just kept silent, he didn't dare to reveal his own mother's behavior.
"Really, Dad?" asked Radit very surprised.
