CHAPTER 31
But before Haris can put Gil's company under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. there is a problem that arises.
The owners of the companies under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. are only relatives and close friends of Haris who all belong from upper class society; they only wanted business partners or company owners that are also from the society where they belong.
They don't want to accept anyone who is not related to any one of them like Gil to belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.
They suggest that if Gil wants to belong in H & A Summit Holdings, Inc., any of Gil's son or daughter will marry anyone who belongs to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.
Unfortunately, Gil's daughter and son who are step brother and sister of Haya got married at their early age.
So Gil's only hope is Haya.
Haya is still single at the age of 30.
The relatives and friends of Haris who own a company under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. suggested that Haya, the daughter of Gil will marry Atif.
Because Atif is the only available or still not in a relationship so he can marry Haya.
Most of Atif's cousins are married or have a fiancé.
Even his step brother Jasmin is about to get married next month.
Also the sons of their close friends who are their business partners and own the companies under the holdings are all in a relationship.
Some are married.
Others are about to get married
So Atif is the only choice.
Yes Atif is only in his early 20's and too young to get married but he is the only choice.
Atif is 5 or 6 years younger than Haya.
Haris explained to them the condition of Gil's daughter Haya.
Because of Haya's condition she and Atif cannot just get married even Haya will arrive in the country as an overseas worker.
But the company of Gil needs a fund badly.
It can't wait for Haya to regain her memory.
So they all agreed to accept Gil's company to become part of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and release the fund for Gil's company to be saved but it is accompanied with one condition.
Their condition is: Gil will sign an agreement.
On that agreement, it is indicated that in exchange of the subsidiaries that Gil will get from H&A Summit Holdings, Inc. Gil will agree that Haya will marry Atif when Haya know that she is the long lost daughter of Gil. And if Gil didn't fulfill what is asked on the agreement his company will be taken by H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. and this will be given to the other business partner to manage. In short, Gil ownership with his own company will be terminated.
Gil agreed to them and signed the contract.
Haris, as a chief executive of the H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. ordered his relatives and friends not to tell it to Atif until the date of the marriage was set.
Haris' relatives and friends agreed to what he wanted.
They will not tell Atif anything about the contract until the date of his marriage is set.
Haris intentionally send Atif on a business trip for 2 days before he called this meeting among his relatives and close friend who belong to H & A Summit Holdings, Inc. to resolve the issue that arise when Haris made about the proposal that he wants to put Gil's company under H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.
Haris did that because he didn't want Atif's mind to be disturbed such things at this early point in time.
Haris knew that his relatives and close friends will suggest that his grandson Atif will be the one who will marry Haya.
So he chose to send Atif away for a while so that he won't hear these suggestions and decisions of them.
He wanted Atif’s mind to focus first on the new business that is about to open.
Haris fears that if Atif loses focus on that the progress of the opening will be delayed.
Haris wants to inform Atif about this marriage after the business is successfully open and if the factory is in its successful operation.
On the other hand, Atif is on his way to Mostar for the business trip.
Atif wonders why his grandfather sent him away while what he knew is there is a meeting between Haris and among their relatives and close friends on H & A Summit Holdings, Inc.
What he knew about the reason is to resolve some issue about one company that his grandfather wants to become their subsidiary.
But his grandfather didn't tell him anything about this.
Atif just heard it from the rumors that arises on the company but he didn't know which exactly the company is and who the owner is.
