Friday afternoon after work, Dimas finally returned to his family home. It just so happened that there was only her sister, Lili. Both of his parents are out of the house. But after Magrib, Prakash came from Singapore specifically to discuss about tomorrow with Dimas and his Papa.
"Hey, Dim. How's things? Did you hear about yesterday's appeal?" Prakash asked who passed Dimas before entering his room.
"A little bit, mas. But I'm definitely looking forward to tomorrow"
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. It's not like Papa hasn't fired you as president yet"
"I'm actually not too worried about that. Justjust... Shame on Papa... "
"Look down, Dim. You have to skip this phase if you want to get better"
"Yes mas"
After that Prakash patted Dimas' shoulder gently and went inside his room.
**
Dimas, Bram - Papa from Dimas, and Prakash are already in the living room which is sometimes used for guests who come to eat together. The conversation was opened by Bram.
"You must know what Papa wants to say."
"Yes Pa" said Dimas.
"Papa must be the same as mas Akash who was disappointed after knowing what happened. Papa knows you used to love changing partners, but what makes Papa disappointed is the affair you have made to make you become negligent with your obligations. If you want to be in a relationship with anyone it's your right as long as you can still carry out your obligations properly."
"Yes Pa"
"Listen Dim, Papa sama mas Akash was also young and ever like you too but Alhamdulillah during this duty and obligation for the family still must be number one"
Before Bram continues his conversation, a housekeeper comes to inform him that Arya and Steven are coming. Dimas who had been moody felt better to hear their arrival. Shortly after, Arya and Steven are invited to enter.
"Sorry Papa and Akash, we don't mean to interrupt, but we'll just hand this over after we leave" Steven said.
"Ga nothing Arya and Steven. You guys just stay here until it's over. Please kash, the CD that Steven brought please play, Papa wants to see"
"Yes Pa"
Prakash then takes the projected laptop to the screen until the image is seen more clearly. The CD contains footage of Dimas and Nine being drunk before entering the hotel room where Dimas was staying.
Elena exits the elevator and sees Dimas and Nine in front of Dimas' room door. Elena who looked startled after that hid in the emergency staircase.
Dimas who saw the tape could only cover his face and groaned softly in embarrassment. But Prakash finally finds out that Nine has been lying to him.
"That's really your secretary, isn't it, kash?" Bram asked Prakash.
"Yes Pa. Yesterday he lied to me for another reason, Pa. He doesn't acknowledge his connection to Dimas."
"Hm... Do whatever you want to do about this, kash. There are still many honest people who want to work for us" said Bram wisely and approved by all in the room.
"Where did you get this tape, Steve?" Ask Steven Prakash.
"From one of my assistants named Mr. Rami, mom. He used to work at the hotel where Dimas stayed as security, so he was well acquainted with the staff there"
"Yes, my mom."
"Dim, as promised after seeing this evidence on Monday, will fire Nine. Not because you have an affair, but mas do not like being lied to because in the future it will also affect his attitude in handling work. In addition to the punishment, you leave it to Papa"
"Yes mas" Dimas told Prakash.
Bram continued the conversation.
"Dimas, about your position Papa will keep you because all this time Papa thought you had done your job well. But unfortunately you still have to accept punishment. First, your birthday will be held next week which is usually held in a star hotel, for this year will only be held simply at home by inviting relatives and close friends."
"Yes, Pa. I accepted the punishment because I didn't like my birthday too much. I'm too big for that and kind of embarrassed for that, actually, Pa"
"Yes, Papa knows. Most also protest your sister who has always been so sexy bothered like her birthday in the morning last month. Now it's time for the second sentence. You ready?" Bram and Prakash smiled meaningfully as they had already talked about this behind Dimas.
"There's a second sentence, Pa? Kirain was just one" Dimas began to complain and protest.
"There's dong" Bram replied casually.
"Then what's the penalty, Pa?" Ask Dimas curiously.
"The second punishment is that you must want Papa to match with the choice of Papa and Mama"
"Oh Paa... It's not your time to play fools! I can still find it myself" Dimas began to protest to his Papa.
"During this time Papa will give you the opportunity to find your own soul mate. What is the evidence and the outcome? There's nothing yet, right? So let Papa and Mama step in. There is one that Papa feels can attract your attention" Bram said with a smile full of mystery.
"Who, Pa? I know ga?" Ask Dimas curiously.
"Leticia Angelina. Do you remember him?"
"Yes, I remember. Last time I met him was Junior High, I was in High School. He's the one whose teeth used to fall apart like that spotty ?"
"Yes, it was Dim. Now she's beautiful. He graduated from S2 at Harvard. So he must be smart, too. Yeah, kash?" Bram asked for Prakash's approval.
"Yes, Pa. Beautiful plus smart" Prakash repeated his papa speech.
Arya and Steven who had just listened to the chatter and smiles, finally chimed in.
"Yes Dims, try to meet first who knows what is suitable. Yeah, yeah'?" Said Steven
"Yes right. Instead of you looking for yourself, not necessarily dapet who really mending the recommendation of parents. Must be a good guy, Dims. It's not like Nine!" After that they all laughed and Dimas could only remain silent while pouting at the thought of his fate. Bram continued the conversation.
"Same Arya Steven should also look for a mate, your age is also mature like Dimas. Do you want Papa to find a mate too?" Said Bram while smiling mischievously.
"Ah, no, Pa, thank you. I can find my own Dimas style" Steven said rather hesitantly.
"I also don't need Pa, still can find it myself" Arya chimed in with a grimacing smile because she felt bad for Bram.
"Yes already if you can find your own origin do not over time will be hunted moss"
They all laughed at Bram who just wanted to joke and melt the atmosphere.
