Hello, welcome to my first story in the English language, I'm sorry for the bad grammar.
An old man puts his reading glasses on, massages his temples thinking about the future of the company he has founded for 27 years, the Leonidas Group. A mining company that has been trusted by investors and the government, is world-renowned, behind all this splendor he has anxiety over his two children who continue to dispute, Rafa and Bramastya, both sons whom he has loved for a long time even though they continue to be at odds until now. Since Rafa found out that he was not a biological child, he continued to demand equal inheritance rights, but Bramastya did not accept Rafa's demands because Bram was Leon's grandfather's biological son. This dispute made the 83-year-old grandfather continue to think about the inheritance rights of both of them until finally, Leon's grandfather wrote a will which reads
"All the assets and inheritance I will give to my son's great-grandson."
Grandpa Leon had finished writing his will which he signed on the stamp, then handed it over to the notary, Dahlia. Dahlia not only worked as a notary for the Leonidas Group, but she was also the nurse for Leon's grandfather, she was the only one who served the Leonidas Group for the last 15 years. Gently he led Leon's grandfather to his room, helping Leon's grandfather lay on the bed.
"Dahlia, however, I will not let Rafa and Bram continue to fight over assets, keep my will carefully, if I die, or I am seriously ill, read the letter in front of them, I am very sure they will not cry over my death, what they are after is wealth, it is my fault to educate them both by only focusing on possessions, you must know Dahlia, this world is cruel and full of cunning people, and you have to be careful, "Leon's grandfather said to Dahlia.
"Yes grandpa, I will fully guard against this will until my grandfather's death, and I will promise, to reconcile Rafa and Bramastya," said Dahlia full of sincerity.
"Good Dahlia, I invite your 7 descendants to work in the Leon group, I really trust you," said Leon's grandfather.
"Thank you, Mr. Leon, for the compliment."
"Yes, now you can come out of my room," said Grandpa Leon
Dahlia returned to the head office in her car, she smiled triumphantly at the brilliant idea to unite Rafa and Bramastya on Leon's grandfather's will.
Meanwhile, at the head office, there was a commotion caused by a dispute between Rafa and Bramastya
"Hey, how is your son Zahra, Bram?" Rafa asked Bram
"What are you asking my daughter for? Just take care of your son Felix!" said Bram to Rafa
“Felix is a smart kid, try to compare it with your daughter Amanda, what can she do? Even now Lukman has almost graduated from postgraduate, but your daughter? In fact, being a social volunteer, it's sad, ”said Rafa to Bram.
“ENOUGH! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY Daughter! HE IS MORE WISE THAN LUKMAN," said Bram emotionally gripping Rafa's collar.
“OH MY GOD!!, you guys! It's already old and still wants to fight! Here I take you to the field! You don't see it? The employees peeking behind this room? Embarrassing! What if this makes the news? The Leonidas group never got along, or is that what you want huh?! ” shouted Dahlia in front of Rafa and Bram, while both of them just sat there sitting away from each other.
"You know why I invited all of you to Jakarta?" Dahlia asked Leon's grandfather's 2 children who were still filled with emotions
"Mr. Leon is old, and you already have adult children, but your behavior is still like that of small children, I just want you here to be seen getting along in front of Mr. Leon, don't worry about his two children he took him to death," said Dahlia.
"What are you talking about? Father can't die quickly! His body is still healthy and fit and well maintained, "said Bramastya
"Yes, daddy can't possibly leave me!" said Rafa
"I am 100% sure that you are actually happy with Mr. Leon's death, because what you are waiting for is your inheritance right," said Dahlia, which made them both speechless.
"Come on, I know you guys are fighting over the inheritance, but at least you have to look good in front of Mr. Leon, tonight we'll have a big family dinner, of course at the main mansion, your house since childhood" said Dahlia.
"No, I'll never set foot there, I wasn't even told who my real mother and father were," said Rafa.
"Hey, then get away from our family, don't just take advantage of our wealth, you use our assets for your business and your children's school fees, don't use the Leonidas Group connection for your success, if you really hate us," said Bramastya.
"Instead I have to finish all of you, I have to take advantage of all of you, even papa took care of me just for the purpose of getting mom pregnant, without telling me who my real mother and father are, don't you realize? Did they give different affection all this time? Obviously they will care more about you, Bram, their biological son, ”said Rafa with a cynical smile
"You should thank mom and dad, without us you will not have abundant wealth, maybe you might even become a beggar in the fringe if papa doesn't pick you up, you should be aware of yourself, Rafa, have you forgotten? Who caused Mom's death decades ago?" said Bram no less cynically.
“YOU STILL THINK I AM THE CAUSE OF MOM'S DEATH ?? EVEN IF I HATE IT BUT I DON'T KILL HIM BRAM! BEAR IN MIND THAT!" said Rafa in an emotional tone
"ALREADY ENOUGH, DO I NEED TO BURN THIS BUILDING?" said Dahlia which made them fall silent again
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you, and I ask that tonight you come to the mansion, bring all of your children!" said Dahlia irritated, stood up to leave the room and closed the door roughly
"I actually don't want to set foot in the mansion," said Rafa, making Bram sigh
"Never mind Rafa, if it is true that papa will die at this old age, shouldn't we make peace first, putting our egos aside? Besides, I also want to see your son, Felix, who you are proud of, "said Bramastya
"Oh yes, I also want to see your daughter Amanda, just try your son, you will definitely get a bigger inheritance right?" said Rafa.
"Make no mistake, my daughter will not lose to your son Rafa" said Bramastya
"You'll see," said Rafa no less cynically.
"Amanda! Amanda!" Bram called out to his beloved daughter but there was no reply to his call."What is it, honey? It's not like you've come home this afternoon, have all your work been done?" asked Laras, Bramastya's wife"Where's Amanda?" asked Bram to Laras
They talked about various things, from Amanda's career, Lara's boutique to the company branch in Turkey which was held by Bram, joked with joyful laughter, like a harmonious family. Before long, a luxury car entered the mansion's yard, Rafa with his wife Ajeng, and their son Felix entered the mansion. Instantly the living room turned cold, full of awkwardness."Hello, Dad," said Ajeng kindly to Leon and extended his hand in greeting"Yes Ajeng, please come in," said Leon to Ajeng"How are you daddy?" asked Ajeng while still hugging Leon“It's almost 7 years you've never been here, then only now are you asking how I'm doing? Where have you been, Ajeng? " Leon asked Ajeng"Don't be
Amanda is still annoyed by Felix's actions against her, it's been 2 days since having dinner together made her wonder who Felix is. To Amanda's surprise, there appeared several articles about Felix"Felix Leonidas started a securities company.""Leonidas group grandson won the gold medal.""Felix Leonidas graduated from the Master of Business Management at the University of Paris Pantheon-Sorbonne with the title Summa Cumlaude.""Felix Leonidas d
"Amanda .. dear?" called Bram knocking on Amanda's door"Yes Dad?" replied Amanda hoarsely"Open the door, daddy wants to come in," said Bram to Amanda"Later daddy, Amanda's face is still ugly," replied Amanda still embarrassed with her swollen eyes"Daddy's child is beautiful, there is no way to look ugly," said Bram"Dad, Amanda just wanted to be alone first," replied Amanda"But why are you dear who mad
"Mom, do you see my power bank?" asked Felix to Ajeng, his mother"This? Is yours?" said Ajeng, lifting Felix's black power bank"Well yes, then Felix will go to the office first," said Felix"Honey, can't you just postpone, you have Amanda here," said Ajeng, Felix immediately sat down and stared at his mother."What? Amanda ??! What's she doing here? " said Felix in an angry tone"Why are you so angry? You don't remember? You used to like you to play with her when you were in grade 1 elementary school, he was still in kindergarten, ”said Ajeng"Felix w

This letter reads' All my inheritance will I will testify to my son's great-grandson," said Dahlia reading the letter. that loudly, making Rafa and Bram frown in confusion"Wait, great-grandson? Does it mean? Son of Felix or Amanda? " said Rafa confused"Yes, that's right," said Dahlia, while Amanda and Felix stared at each other, they didn't understand the meaning of the will."But, neither Amanda nor Felix is married," said Bram"Then, let's just wait until they have children," said Dahlia"CANNOT, THIS IS NOT FAIR, HOW CAN THERE BE A TREAT LIKE
Amanda looked at the screen of her cellphone, a notification from Amar, she opened the message quickly, “Ms. Amanda, I want to talk about the introduction of our family, what about ya? When can I visit Ms. Amanda's house, and give me your address? ”Amanda could not hold back her tears reading a message from Amar, she recently fell in love with this young man, but her marriage was arranged, not with Amar or any other man, but with Felix. Now she can no longer prioritize her love, she has already agreed in front of a large family, like being cut by a dagger, her wounded heart will heal over time, Amanda always resigns and believes God's plan will be better than anything.
