Secretary Arogan Coveted CEO
The Darmawan Family

Due to the news spread in the media about Soni Darnawan, he is now called to the main office to get a reprimand for the furore he caused. Soni was being interrogated before the other higher-ups of his group.

"Soni sir, do you know what you did wrong until you were called here?", asked one of Soni's superiors.

"I know, Sir. I have broken the trust of the people by having 2 wives. But that's my personal problem, can't it be ruled out because I've always been professional in doing my duties?" . Soni responded with a polite attitude and a face full of regret.

"Soni, do you still not understand your work? When you are elected as the representative of the people, at that time you become their role model. Everything that concerns you will definitely be in the spotlight, including with your personal life" said one of Soni's superiors.

Soni was silent with her head down. He played his hand to relieve his nervousness, while the higher-ups discussed what decision they would take against Soni.

"Pak Soni, we've made a decision ". Soni raised her head staring at a middle-aged man sitting opposite her.

"Because you have violated the code of conduct as a representative of the people, we all agreed to remove you from the seat of government. We can no longer entrust this position to you" said Soni's boss

"But sir, given my hard work so far is there no relief for me?"

"We have considered everything and this is no longer inviolable. You should thank me for not being fined for your actions that defamed the government!". Soni's superior looks very upset with a frown because he does not want to step down from the government.

Soni was silent for a moment to hear the speech of the council member.

"Do all the facilities I have to be returned?", asked Soni to make sure.

"of course. It's not your right anymore, so you have to give it back to us".

Soni seemed limp and uninspired after hearing the decision given by her superior, but she had to accept it with sincerity and return all the facilities she got.

Soni rushed home after the meeting was over. He kept pensive on the way home. He limped down from the taxi after arriving home, how surprised Soni was when he saw some people in front of his house arguing with his mother.

"You can't do this to me! Our company is still not bankrupt and can definitely be saved!", cried Mrs Melati at the people in front of her.

"Mah! What the hell's going on?". Soni rushed over to her mother and asked to find out the situation.

"Son, tell them we're still not broke! The crisis in our company can still be resolved, right?"said the mother tried to convince people who would confiscate their homes.

"Nasya went home a long time ago in his car. He was also surprised to see the commotion that was going on in his house.

"Dad, Grandma, what's going on? Who are they?", asked Nasya with a frown astonished at those people.

"They said they were going to confiscate our house", said Ms. Melati with a panic-stricken face hook.

"What?! Seizing our house?! But isn't our company bankrupt? We still have hope" Nasya told the grandmother.

"No. The stock of our company declined drastically and the shareholders decided to sell their shares at a low price before it was too late. So there is no hope and our company is declared bankrupt and to cover our debt, the bank will auction the company building and also this house". Ms. Melati explained with a sad face.

"What?! Our company declared bankrupt?!". Soni was shocked to hear that their company had gone bankrupt. He immediately fell silent without a word.

How'this? I was dismissed from my post. Our family company is also bankrupt. What do we have to do?

Soni kept pensive in her own daydreams.

"Nasya, what about your mall? What situation can be overcome?", asked Miss Melati who made Soni aware of her daydream.

"That's.the traders who used to trade in the mall .. one by one have gone and rented another place. Now there are less than 10 traders. It is also just a matter of waiting until their contract time runs out" Nasya explained in a complaining tone.

"Yes, Pah. Most likely it only lasts until the end of the month because the contract with the last trader is also this month".

All were speechless after hearing the explanation from Nasya.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, we are here to foreclose on the assets of the Darmawan family. This house will be confiscated and sealed until the auction event. So, hope you all vacate this house immediately. Excuse me". The bank immediately turned around and left after they sealed the house owned by the Darmawan family.

"Grandmother, what should we do?", asked Nasya with a puzzled look on his face.

"We need to find another place to live"

"Give me our salary! Give us our rights! Give me our pay! Give us our rights!".

Ms. Melati, Soni, and Nasya were very surprised to hear the screams of the people. They immediately turned their heads simultaneously towards the source of the sound, and there was a crowd of people coming with various banners walking towards their houses while shouting.

"Give me our salary! Give us our rights! Give me our pay! Give us our rights!"

"Peace up everyone, calm down!". Soni tried to placate the demonstrators who were now gathered in front of them.

"How can we calm down?! You guys have been delinquent on our payroll for these 3 months! We also need a cost to live!", said one of the protesters.

"We know. We'll definitely pay all your salaries, but not now"

"When? Until when are you going to keep putting off our pay?!". One of the demonstrators spoke to Soni as a representative with a face of emotion and annoyance. He kept shouting and urging Melati ma'am to pay their salaries which they had not received in recent months.

"Fastly. We'll pay as soon as possible. We promise!", said Soni trying to calm the protesters.

"good. We'll give you a chance. We hope you keep your word!", said a representative of the demonstrators.

"Yes, we will definitely keep our promise!".

They all disbanded and left the Darmawan family home after getting an appointment from Soni.

"Dad, Grandma, how's this? Our homes have been confiscated and our employees are urging us to pay their salaries. What are we supposed to do?". Nasya whines spoiled to his father and grandmother.

"Soni, can you find us a temporary place to stay? We are no longer able to live in this house" said Ms. Melati with a calm attitude.

"I don't know where to go either. Actually .... today .. I just got laid off from my duties". Soni explained carefully about her situation.

"What did you say?! You dismissed?! Then, what are we gonna do?". Ms. Melati started to panic after hearing the story from her son.

"Nasya, can you ask Lucky for help? You are engaged and soon to be married, can't he help us?", asked Melati's mother hesitantly.

"Sister Lucky is out of town. He will only be back in 3 days", Nasya said in response to the grandmother.

"What?! So what now?".

They all fell silent and thought about what they were going to do in the future.

"I know where we're going. I'm sure we can stay there for a while" said Soni, letting go of the silence.

"Where?"
