Inside the Director's office.
"Mr. Tristan, please have a seat," said the Director.
Tristan sat cross-legged, and his cold gaze made Roni Kesuma nervous.
"I don't like to linger or beat around the bush, I want you to sell this Bank, now!" Tristan said firmly and curtly. I don't know what's on Tristan's mind, only he and God know.
Suddenly Tristan wanted to acquire the Bank. Levi, his assistant, was surprised because that was not their original goal. Today's plan is Tristan wants to discuss investment.
"Master… Tristan, aren't you here to discuss investment matters? Why do you want to buy this bank now?" Roni asks Tristan's wish.
"Don't ask too many questions! Are you going to sell it or not? You can ask any price and you can still work as my subordinate, but you need to know what I want. I must get it or I will destroy it if I can't get it." Tristan said with a threatening look.
"Mr. Tristan, please… don't destroy me. I will sell this bank to you, but… please don't destroy me," said Roni with her body shaking with fear.
Tristan tugged at the corners of his lips and smiled with satisfaction. A smile that Levi was used to seeing, but for people who didn't know what Tristan was like, then his smile was too scary to look at.
Everyone knows who Tristan is. If he wants something, he will get it, whatever it is. There was only one thing he couldn't get, the title of the wisest person in the family. Tristan's arrogant, selfish and stubborn nature makes Tristan and his father always argue. Only Chris always gets praise from his father, because Chris's character is not like Tristan's.
Izham Putra gave Tristan the position of Director because Izham believed and believed that Tristan could make their company more advanced. Tristan's ambitious attitude is the main reason Izham believes in him. While Cristian is only a Deputy Director because he was only sent by his father to supervise Tristan. His father was afraid that Tristan would abuse his position.

Lunchtime had arrived, but Roni was still sitting quietly in the office. He didn't want to leave the office. The room that Roni is proud of, the room that holds so many memories.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in!" replied Ron.
"You didn't go to lunch, sir?" Roni's secretary Aulia reminded Roni that it was already lunchtime.
"I still want to sit in this room, because tomorrow I'm moving to the Manager's office. Why did Mr. Tristan suddenly want to buy this bank? Did something make him angry?" Roni asked quietly.
"I don't know, sir," answered Aulia.
"Yes, I have. You go to lunch first. I'll follow later," said Roni.
"Excuse me then." Aulia left Roni alone.

In the cafeteria, Haruna and Sari are eating at the same table. In the canteen, several people were talking about the bank they worked for that was sold this morning. Aulia approached them and sat in front of Haruna.
"See, you want to change the boss," Sari teased.
"Yes, that's right. The new president is very handsome, hihi," replied Aulia with a smile.
"Lia, is this Blessing Bank bankrupt? Why did the Director sell it?" Haruna asked curiously.
"No, but because Mr. Tristan suddenly wanted to buy this bank this morning. Anyone who refuses Mr. Tristan's wishes, then he can be crushed to dust, nothing is left," said Aulia.
"Tristan the owner of 'IZHAM Corporation', is that what you mean?" asked Sari.
"Yes, that's right. He is the most powerful person in this city. His company is also everywhere. So no one can fight against the billionaire family," Aulia replied.
"Great from where? He oppresses people who are weaker than him. I hate people like that. Pretentious," said Haruna.
The break ended and they went back to work. Until the afternoon, and time to go home.
***
At Kamal's house. The evening arrived, Haruna and all the employees of Bank Berkah were ready to go home. Haruna drove his motorcycle at high speed, the many events that he experienced today, made Haruna want to get home quickly.
"Ah, tired," Haruna muttered. He parked his motorbike in the garage and entered the house through the side door.
Haruna stepped into the house, quiet, not as usual. Usually, Haruna will be greeted by Anggi when she returns home after work. Haruna checked every room, but Haruna didn't find anyone in the house.
"Where are Mama and Vivi? Did they follow Papa to Mila's house?" Haruna wondered to herself.
Haruna sat on the sofa in the living room. Not long after, Haruna heard the roar of a car engine coming into the garage.
The side door opened and saw three adults and a little girl in Anggi's arms. That little girl is Kiara, a poor girl who has just lost her mother forever.
"Haruna, are you home?" Angga entered the house and lowered Kiara.
"Mama," Kiara said as she ran over to Haruna who was sitting on the sofa. Kiara hugged Haruna's legs.
Everyone exchanged glances when Kiara called Haruna Mama. Haruna pulled Kiara onto her lap, and Kiara immediately hugged Haruna. Kiara's face hid in Haruna's chest. Kiara cries like a child who has just seen her mother after being left at work. Haruna stroked Kiara's hair gently.
"Mama, let's go home. Kia wants to sleep at home," said Kiara. He invites Haruna back to the house of the late Mila. I don't know what made Kiara feel that Haruna was her mother. The face and height alone are much different. Mila is shorter than Haruna.
"Well, why do you want to go home, dear? This is Grandpa and Grandma's house, so from now onwards Kia and Mama will live here," said Haruna gently coaxing Kiara.
Haruna brought Kiara into her room. Half an hour later, Haruna came out of the room after Kiara fell asleep.
"Haruna, you should explain to Kiara that you are not her mother," said Anggi.
"It's okay, Ma. Haruna will adopt Kiara as a child," Haruna replied.
"What if the man who wants to propose to you someday objects? Because you have an adopted child," said Anggi.
"Mom, if that guy loves Haruna, then it won't be a problem for him," Haruna replied.
"But when are you getting married?" asked Anggi doubtfully. Because he knew Haruna's answer was always the same.
"Ma," Haruna said without daring to look Anggi in the eye.
Angie sighed wearily. Anggi just wants Haruna to get married soon because she is already old enough to get married. Haruna's friends even have two children. But Haruna doesn't have a boyfriend yet.
"Come on, Mama knows your answer won't change." Anggi left Haruna who was still staring at Anggi who stepped into the room. Haruna knows Anggi must be disappointed in him.
"Sorry, Ma. Haruna has disappointed Mama," Haruna muttered quietly. The fear of knowing love makes Haruna a girl who is anti-men. Although many men propose to make Haruna his wife, Haruna rejects them all.
