MAHENDRA
The Extra Part 5

POV Grandpa Joni.

I'm a famous businessman in various regions, my shares are everywhere. I am 76 years old now.

Since meeting Mahendra I am grateful as if I have a family again.

My children have long died, I only have one sister, my sister was separated for 5 years with me.

I am very grateful to be able to meet Mahendra, from my help until I was given a kidney.

Since then I have promised to make Mahendra a part of my family.

Especially after he got married and took his parents to live in my mansion, since then I am very grateful.

In my old age, I was surrounded by good people.

When I was holding Mahendra's first child, it took my mind to educate him to be a great businessman.

I am determined to make him my successor. I see Aarash as very active compared to his two younger siblings.

"Mahendra, I want Aarash to learn business from an early age" I said loudly.

I saw Mahendra quite surprised by my wish.

"But the cake, I want my son to grow up like any other child" Mahendra said objecting to my request.

"But Grandpa saw your son look different from other children, when grandfather talked about the business, his eagle eyes look very excited" I continued.

"Grandfather, Aarash is still 6 months old, still do not understand what it is about business." protested Mahendra.

"Whether it is my decision, Aarash will always be near me" said Mahendra.

"Alright cake" said Mahendra relented.

From then on, I kept a close eye on Aarash.

Actually the figure of Aariz is also appropriate, but I see Aariz is quite quiet and inactive like Aarash.

Aariz is closer to my brother Rangga.

I just want between them to be someone who deserves to raise my company name again.

Actually I want Mahendra to hold my company.

But maybe he's not happy with my only brother's existence. For that Mahendra gave up completely to my sister.

I don't mind, but the company in my sister's hands is still mediocre.

I understand because my sister is sick. Not to mention if you have to go to meet the client must be represented by my assistant only.

I just hope that Mahendra's children will be my successors.

POVS. Grandpa Rangga.

I am Rangga, I am 70 years old now. At a time like this I should have retired enjoying my old age. But since no one replaced my brother I must inevitably have to stand tall leading the company.

When I carried Aariz, I felt like teaching him how to make a great businessman, but I was surprised by the statement that my brother wanted Aarash to be his successor.

Inevitably I have to resign, although still convinced Aariz who became my successor.

"Sister, we should teach Aarash and Aariz to be business people, who is really interested, means to be the successor of both of us" I said to provide a solution.

"But I'm sure Aarash should be a great businessman" he replied My brother convinced me.

"We'll see" I said resignedly.

"Grandfather Joni and Grandpa Rangga, your wishes are good, but I as his parents do not want to impose the will of my children. I want them to choose for themselves what they want not what we want" Mahendra and I both agreed.

"But I'll teach them both from an early age, 6 months away right they're a year they should already know what business is" my brother said loudly.

If this is the case, no one will dare to give a solution or forbid my brother's wishes.

I can only be silent, but yes I have to agree with my brother's words.

POV Atikas.

I honestly want my three children to be normal human beings like people, without the burden of being a businessman.

Whatever the decision of my children, I as a parent can only provide support.

Lucky my daughter they didn't talk about. I want my son to be a doctor, to take care of all of us who are old.

But whatever their ideals, I as his parents will continue to support their wishes.

Want Aarash businessman or Aariz for me halal origin is not a problem.

POVS. Mahendra.

I was confused by my grandfather's second wish.just as a baby they already had aspirations for both of my sons.

I as his father just want my son to get a decent and useful education for a country that is more like a good son.

Moreover, hearing from Grandpa Joni, if the age of 1 year has been given a mandate to study business, I strongly object.

I fear that their growth will become precocious.

Learning business is not an easy thing, I am the adult who thinks about business is very draining and mind.

I hope my three children are ready with the decision of both great-grandfathers later.

"Grandfather, I'll go to my room first. Poor kid must've been tired of their show just now"

"Yes, kid, go get some rest"

I took my wife into the room with my baby.

"Son, we go home first" my in-laws said.

"Father and mamah did not stay here first" added my wife.

"Same Papah mamah tomorrow there is an event in the company, next time we will stay here" said Mr. Tri Atika's father.

"Be careful on the road, Papah, Mamah" said my wife while splashing.

"Yes son, Omah's grandchildren, we go home first yes" said Ms. Tantri while kissing my three children.

"Yes omah, omah be careful" said my wife imitating the voice of a child.

We all laughed too.

My two in-laws say goodbye to everyone. They happen to be in sopiri mang ujang so they didn't ask me to deliver them.

After they left, my wife and I headed straight to the bedroom.

Grandpa Rangga and Grandpa Joni were still sitting in the living room while both of my parents had already entered their room.

When I got to my room, I laid my two children and my wife was replacing Arsyla's clothes.

"Ummy, how does ummy respond to Grandpa Joni and Grandpa Rangga's wishes?" I was curious about my wife's wishes.

"Aby, leave everything to God, if God has willed, whether they become business people or not. We as both parents they must continue to instill religious education to all three so as not to go the wrong way" said my wife calm me.

"True Ummy, thank you for reminding me of religious education for our children"

I hugged my wife from behind, watching my wife take the place of my three children's clothes. After that I put a kiss on my wife's neck. Understand my wife if already in the room does not use hijab.

"Aby, ticklish ah"

"But khan likes it"

"Ih, in front of the kids is no good Aby"

"Yes-yes I'm sorry, so if the kids are asleep then yes"

I saw my wife just blushing in shame. I also immediately noticed my three cute and adorable children.

I pray that in the future our lives will always go according to the pleasure of Allah.
