THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
Riled

The president room of the director of Santoso Jaya Group feels stuffy. The temperature of 200 C which is regulated by AC room is not able to cool the mind of the leader of Santoso Jaya.

The man in his 50s has since walked around the room. Sometimes he would sit staring at the monitor. In just a few seconds, he stood up and paced again.

Now his attention turned to his phone screen. He touched the dial button after finding the contact he was looking for.

….

“Siang. Now where?”

….

“We met at Royal. It's imperative. I'll wait for 11. Don't molest!”

….

“Ya.”

After closing the conversation, he contacted the others. He asked to meet these people. Then, he called the manager of the Royal Restaurant booking the VIP room. It seems, he is upset.

By 11:00, Danu Santoso was walking towards the parking lot. He immediately drove his car to the agreed place. He did not ask for a driver.

Arriving at the location, Danu was greeted by the manager and escorted to the reserved room. The room is still empty. That made Danu more nervous.

Fifteen minutes into the wait, a man in his 40s came on the scene. His face looks pale.

“Sorry, Sir. There was a little problem. There are difficult clients.”

“Which other?” ask Danu cynically.

“Sorry, I don't know.”

“Huh, you don't know yourself! Do they think I'm messing around? It concerns our future.”

“Shortly, Sir. I tried to contact them.”

The man pulled out his phone and immediately contacted the contact of the person Danu was referring to. After waiting a few minutes, the phone remained unconnected.

“Maybe it's on its way. Please be patient.”

“Kun, are you paying attention to our target? You are aware of the current condition?” ask Danu in a high tone.

The man called Kun looked confused. He was a little trembling.

“Ma—maaf, Sir. Mean Tu—an how?”

“Hah, you are this. Never mind, later if they arrive. I'm dizzy. If I had to explain one by one, my head could break. Where are these two lizards actually going, anyway? They really-banar pissed me off.”

As Danu was nagging, a servant approached.

“What menu is served now, sir?”

“Later, wait ten more minutes.” Danu answered without looking.

The waiter nodded respectfully and walked away.

Five minutes later, two men wearing light-colored shirts entered the VIP room.

“Why new came?” ask Danu in a high tone.

“Casual, Bro. We have business too. Especially Feri, he's not the boss. So, he had to find a reason to be able to come out without suspicion. Never mind, don't get angry, later stroke!”

“You expect me a stroke?” grunts Danu.

“Not so. Never mind, we better discuss your problem. What's up, anyway?”

“Not my problem, but ours. Us, Ben!” sumpul Danu's.

Just about to reply, two servants came in carrying dishes that Danu had ordered. After the waiter left, they resumed the conversation.

“Try you tell me in detail. I don't understand yet,” said Ben casually.

“Fer, Kun, you're the ones I'm tasked with monitoring Wijaya Kusuma and Kencana. Tell me about the development of both now!” danu's orders while looking at the person in front of him with a sharp look.

“Why can it be like that? How do your people work? Isn't there someone inside? Ask to find the data we need!” snapped Danu.

“Widodo is no longer in its original position. Now he's like being watched by Arman. Hence, he could not come. If he comes, Arman could be suspicious.”

“Hmm, then you're Fer! What about Kencana? Why can't you get the data on the development of the old grandfather's company?” danu's question turned to men in their 40s.

“I am also confused. Is it possible that the old man changed the password?” muttered.

“You must not be stupid! Wouldn't it be if only your password could break it?” snapped Danu.

“I—iya. I mean, that e-grandfather changed his data security system.”

“Is there a new employee, IT expert?”

The man Danu questioned just shook his head.

“It is not possible that the issue of securing data is left to outsiders. You must immediately re-access Kencana Group's data no matter how.”

“So, now we can not control Wijaya Kusuma and Kencana?” ask the guy called Ben.

Danu patted his eel. His face looks red.

“You're…. Huhh!” Danu kicked the table.

This time Ben was silent. He no longer acts relaxed.

“Listen, Ben! Our people are no longer able to get information about these two companies. If it's Kencana, I'm not too worried. As long as the old man did not betray, no matter how the company grew rapidly. But, Wijaya Kusuma I won't let. I regret not destroying it first. I thought Wijaya Kusuma would die slowly by itself.”

“Then, what's your plan?” ask Ben.

“I don't want Wijaya Kusuma to rise. They can survive even do not rule out the possibility to rise because the spirit of the company is still there. If he is eliminated, I am sure Wijaya Kusuma will wither and die.”

“You mean Wirawan's only child?”

“Yes, who else? You're just scaring. Now, you must act!” Danu's orders.

“You mean, I have to eliminate that kid?”

“Solar, which is best. You're gonna vanish or you're gonna use it as a means of suppressing Arman, whatever. What is clear, do not let it be a source of motivation for people in Wijaya Kusuma.”

“And you Fer, Kun, I don't want to know how you can access the data of our two targets. If it comes off, it will be a serious threat.”

“Serious threat? Mean Mr?” tanya Kun did not understand.

“Their performance will affect us. If Wijaya Kusuma can rise, they can drown Santoso Jaya. If I drown, you come too. Remember, you are just a small company owner. And you, Fer, you too can be kicked by that old geezer and go black list.”

“Does Wijaya Kusuma now show significant development?” asked Ben hesitatingly.

“You don't see their stock movement?” snapped Danu.

“A—aku didn't follow him.”

“What are you doing, huh? Why are you off guard? Don't you want Arman destroyed? How could he be destroyed if Wijaya Kusuma could rise?” Danu back to snarl.

Ben smacked his coffee. He took a long breath. In his heart he was foolish.

“Why am I off guard? I think Wijaya Kusuma will slowly die.”

“You, Kun, find out who poured fresh funds to Wijaya Kusuma! I don't want to know how you. If this information is not immediately obtained, Arman will be more robust.”

“I'll take care of Wirawan's child soon,” by Ben.

“Secapnya! As long as there is a child, Armand and Wirawan loyal men must try their hardest to make Wijaya Kusuma rise.”

The conversation in the VIP room was so serious. They don't realize there's anything beyond their control.
