First Woman President
Episode 8

But Ken's mind was still piqued by what he had seen before. "Sorry uncle if I'm sassy. Will you explain to me about the files?", asked Ken to the point.Tuan Danu was nervous again.

"Emmh.", Mr. Danu seemed to think, he propped his chin with his hand. "Should I tell Ken about my problem?! Can I count on it?!", he said in his heart.

"Did uncle not trust me anymore?", asked Ken to lure Mr. Danu to speak.

"Ok alright! So look, now Bram already owns 30% of Winata Group shares. That means he is the biggest shareholder now, because I currently only have 20. It looks like he's already started working on a plan to take over this company, Ken. It used to be this company he took care of, but because of his incompetence, then my father left this company to me which at that time I was comfortable with my world. So Bram was jealous of me, until one time he said he would take this company from me. I don't care if this is what he wants. Since long ago, I was not so interested in this company.But the problem is that he is so devious and merciless. I'm just worried about my daughter, Ken. I'm afraid my daughter will be in danger" explained Mr. Danu.

"All right! Now that I understand the situation, uncle", Ken replied.

"Emmhhh, uncle!", Ken called Mr. Danu with his heart.

"Did uncle remember about 5 years ago? When I was in a bad state and uncle helped me get up again. When I was able to stand alone, I once told my uncle to make a request to me. Whatever it is uncle. As long as I can, I will help you" Ken said, looking warmly at Mr. Danu.

FLASHBACKS

5 years ago

At that time Glory Corporation had not been this big, let alone its condition was in a state of near bankruptcy. Ken single-handedly went here and there asking for help so that his company can rise again.

Once, he came to see Mr. Danu in his office to discuss a project. It seems that Ken is so serious about explaining the benefits of the project. His eyes looked red, the wrinkles around his eyes were faint. Scars of tiredness caught by Mr. Danu. He also felt sorry for Ken's serious struggle to revive his father's company.

Coincidentally back then Mr. Danu had also just left his old world, he had not so long ago joined the company. Mr. Danu was a gangster leader at the time. He retired from the underworld, when a will was announced that he had to take care of the company. But thanks to that anyway, he has some connections with other fellow entrepreneurs. He thought he'd use it to help Ken.

Mr. Danu apparently contacted some of his colleagues to give the project to Ken. Provides an opportunity for Ken to prove himself, and rebuild his near-falling company.

Ken gladly accepted the offer. He felt touched by Mr. Danu's kindness. Some time they did not meet because Ken busy running some projects that he had to deal with.

3 Months later, Ken and Mr. Danu meet during lunch at one of the fine restaurants. They were sitting in one of the vip rooms next to it presenting a bustling view of the city with its bustle.

"Is everything going well?", asked Mr. Danu after finishing his meal.

"of course! Thank you uncle. You've helped me a lot. Help me wake up from my downfall. And help me resurrect that dying company" Ken chuckled. Ken also finished his meal.

"Basic to young people! Don't be too upset, son. Let's just say we're family. Shouldn't the family help each other" said Mr. Danu sincerely.

Ken was touched by Mr. Danu's words. His heart was warmed by the words this middle-aged man spoke. Words he had never heard, even from his uncle. In fact, it was his uncle who plunged him, his company and his family into a hole.

"Uncle", call him.

"Emmh.", Mr. Danu answered briefly.

"Make an uncle request! I'll grant you whatever you wish while I can, uncle. What an unstoppable thank you for just saying I don't think it's enough", Ken said with sincerity. Unstoppable gratitude to the help of him who is a nobody.

"Oohh come on, son. Why are you so sad about me. I sincerely help you, Ken", replied Mr. Danu. He is the type of person who likes to bring up what he has given. It doesn't matter to him, whether it'll be remembered or forgotten for all his kindness. Because he was always sincere in helping anyone.

"Ahh, what a maddening you Ken! Well I'll make a request", Mr. Danu seems to think. His face looks serious. He folded his hands in front of his chest then propped his chin with one hand. Looking up at the ceiling of the restaurant, he seemed to be thinking hard.

"Well, my request is.", Mr. Danu looks serious.

"Emmh,.?", Ken linked his eyebrows curiously waiting for a response from Mr. Danu.

"My request is.. I want you to grant my request someday. I don't think I need it yet" said Mr. Danu, chuckling.

Ken chuckled, truly he has been bullied by this middle-aged man. Ken who looks serious is even served in this way.

"Alright, uncle. If it's time, tell me" Ken said with emphasis.

"Come, boy! Why are you so serious", Mr. Danu chuckled with Ken's attitude.

Ken shook his head with a smile. He had not expected to be played with by this truly good middle-aged man.

"I will grant whatever you wish, uncle" Ken said in his heart.

FLASBACK OFF

Mr. Danu looked at Ken softly. "This time can I count on you, Ken?!", the question was raised without him knowing whether it should be directed at him or Ken. This time a sense of worry slipped in his heart. He's not worried about the company, he's just worried about his daughter. After his wife left, for Mr. Danu now the most valuable treasure is only Ana. For her, Ana is her breath, her spirit and Ana is her life.

Ken caught the shock that was afflicting his partner. But he was also unable to press too deeply to interfere. Because somehow this is a family problem. Yes, an exaggerated family problem. Ken is still waiting for Mr. Danu's answer. As much as possible, with all his strength, he hopes to help ease the burden that his partner carries.

"Uncle", call Ken to make sure.

"Emmh.", Mr. Danu seemed reluctant to speak. There was a little bit of a sense of unease in his mind. This family matter should not have any interference from others. But what is his power does require the help of others. A person who has power over himself. Who can take care of his daughter. "A little while, Ken. Let me think, what should I ask you in the future" said Mr. Danu finally.

"Alright, uncle. I really hope I can help you. Aren't we family?!", said Ken sincerely. A sincerity that can warm Mr. Danu's hearing. Ken's remarks reminded him of 5 years ago when he also said the same thing to Ken.

"Yes, family! Other people are like family, but their own family is like everyone else. Even more like an enemy" said Mr. Danu inwardly. Feeling sad about what happened.

***

While on the way Ana is seen making a call to someone. "Hello!",

"Are you ready?", he asked the person across the channel.

"Already" answered Sarah from across. "But Ana, isn't that a fancy restaurant. I can afford it", Sarah seemed worried. The cost of one meal at a restaurant is equal to his salary a month at a nightclub.

"Basic stupid! Surely I pay!", said Ana chuckling with the plain thought of her friend.

"Ahh, then I feel relieved!", said Sarah innocently again.

"Well, in 1 hour we meet there!", said Ana then hang up her phone.
