Kurenai stepped into the elevator and pressed the number 12 button. The 12th floor was the goal. The floor on which the owner of the building is enthroned.
The floor where the magnificent throne is located.
Kurenai looks very graceful with a crem-colored three-fourth dress and a famous brand matching bag. His long hair he dipol upwards showing the face of his father that does not fade despite being consumed by age. His white skin looked very smooth without the slightest flaw.
Ting.
The elevator stops and opens automatically on the 12th floor.
Kurenai's beautiful legs walked slowly down that 12th floor. Look, research, and ask the receptionist on the 12th floor about the owner. After getting permission, Kurenaipun walked towards the room indicated by an employee in charge of delivering guests.
In his heart he thought if the procedure of visiting the company he was visiting was very complicated. Yes, it is only natural that this is not a small company, but a very large one. Security is the main.
"Please come in, Madam! The president is inside." Said the delivery officer, Tao.
"Aigataou gozaimasu." Kurenai entered the room.
The room is very grand just for a workplace. Super beautiful interior with ancient ornaments typical of classical Japan. Very epic. Not a strange thing, that is the style of the owner of the room and Kurenai does not need to ask a lot of questions or be surprised. The similarity he knew from the people he loved so much in the past.
"Good day, Wijaya-sama. How are you doing?" Sapa Kurenai's. Not forgetting the smile adorning her thin lips.
Grandpa Wijaya who was busy signing important documents immediately turned to the source of the voice that was quite disturbing his concentration. Lying if he was not surprised to see the middle-aged woman in front of him at this moment, but he could well hide his shock.
"Ho, Uchiyama Kurenai, you're the one who married Uchiyama Azumane." Grandpa Wijaya said.
"Did the news surprise you, Wijaya-sama? Hmm, aren't the Uchiyama company and Emperor Group mutually friendly? Ah, more precisely working together?"
"It's not so surprising because I knew that snakes would act fast."
"Don't you think you're too cruel for a man your age? The snake will indeed move quickly, Honored Lord Kazehaya, but not only that. The snake will also bite, after which, the snake will also stick its fangs and inject poison that kills its prey. You made a correct parable, Wijaya-sama. I really like snakes." Kurenai smiled back.
"It turns out you had some guts, too, apparently showing your nose. You used to be so obedient, now you're venomous."
"Humans can change, Great Lord, including me. The wounds of the past made me rise up and get stronger, even making me want those old wounds to pay off."
People will always change every day. There are stages that force humans to achieve changes in their lives. Getting better or letting yourself get worse. It all depends on each person. But, as a wise human being, it is certainly a good stage in life that one wants to reach, and Kurenai is on this merry path.
"Oh, so you intend to take revenge for everything you've been through?" Ask Grandpa Wijaya.
Kurenai stared at the outside window of the room, he saw the sun that was emitting its bright rays.
Revenge huh?
Is this included in the stage he is undergoing?
Revenge is bad, not good. It's just that many people make it an excuse to survive in a cruel life.
There are those who blindly insist on keeping revenge for the sake of life to a better level. Is Kurenai one of them?
"You made that conclusion yourself. It could be." Kurenai.
"I'm going to play your game, Kurenai." Grandpa Wijaya said steady.
Kurena smiled disdainfully. "You're a real Kazehaya, your age shouldn't have to play things like this. Shouldn't you just sleep at home and rest?"
The figure of Kazehaya Wijaya who is arrogant and always wants to win will not be easily overthrown. Kurenai knew that. He must always have a lot of ideas to continue to be able to continue his game.
"It was amazing as expected as it should be a Kazehaya, Wijaya-sama. You once! Very You! And it's really very similar to him."
Kurenai remembers how Alvin's late father was. It looks a lot like Grandpa Wijaya. It's just that his father, Alvin, has softer eyes. More shady and can override his kekuhyan.
"Is that so?"
"Let's play Wijaya-sama!" Take kurenai.
"Playing with you?"
"Yes, play with this woman your child loves so much!" Kurenai smiled.
Grandpa Wijaya still maintained his emotions so as not to waver. Talking about his father Alvin and Yudha always ripped his heart.
A past that cannot be forgotten. The past is so steeped in the surface of his wrinkled skin.
"I wouldn't play if the game wasn't interesting." Grandpa Wijaya said.
"You'll love it, Wijaya-sama. Love You! There are no rules, all ways are allowed. Very interesting, isn't it?" Kurenai.
Grandfather Wijaya laughed, he just did not expect if the once very weak and fragile woman dared to challenge him directly.
"Haha, I like your idea. Very enticing. It's really gonna be interesting."
"Then, prepare yourself, Great Lord Kazehaya! I'll bet big on this game. You better do it too."
"Of course, I'll serve you, the woman my son didn't choose."
Kurenai held a fleeting breath. Not chosen here means not chosen married by his son Wijaya's grandfather, Kazehaya Yoga. Kurenai was well aware of that.
"I look forward to a surprise from you, the great Wijaya-sama. Matta ashita."
"Matta ashita."
Matta ashita: see you tomorrow.
Kurenai turned around and walked out of Grandpa Wijaya's room. He held the door of the room and opened it. Before he came out he stopped for a moment.
"Oh yeah, just a reminder of the great Lord, 5% of Emperor Group owned by Uchiyama Corp, right? It feels like it will increase if all shareholders will take a side and join Uchiyama Corp." Said Kurenai who went straight from Grandpa Wijaya's room.

After Kurenai left his room, Grandpa Wijaya stretched the knot of his tie. He then leaned himself into the hot seat, his throne of power. He even smiled meaningfully.
"I don't know if that woman dares to start a fire in front of me. The game became more and more interesting, not only was I with the Serpent Woman, but Yudha could also be my pawn. Maybe Melody too? Even Alvin. The more pawns sacrificed, the more fun it would be. Let's see who will cry and laugh at the end."
