Ferocious Flames

end to high school life ; birthday

Well I was enjoying my high school life until my birthday came which was supposed to be the best day! What do you expect when you wake up on your birthday? A happy birthday shout at least, right?! But when I woke up all (two actually) the men in the house were messing up my room.
"aye..what are you people doing? " they didn't reply 😰. after a while ryo shouted,"just go and dress quickly!! " what was the whole mess about?!
"why?😒"  they still didn't seem to listen to me.
"oh..don't you have any proper dress?!" ryo shouted.
"aye, what the heck?! Why are you peeking into my cupboard?!! "
"wait..I've bought the dress ryo..." dad said. Well, there goes my birthday present.
"thank yo--..."
"ema..you're still here?! Freshen up! We're already running out of time." dad snapped. What freaked me out was that dad too behaved like ryo! What was so special about today? Yeah, it's true that it's my birthday but it didn't seem like one. It was worse than my first day in school. Even that day dad was getting all hyper and messing around my room.  ryo was after all his true son,  behaving all freaked out and tensed up for no such good reason.
But then I did accordingly and dressed in the most official manner as if..ah I don't know but the dress was a bit strange for my style. When I went out of the Bathroom expecting at least now for them to wish me,  no body was there! Wow! I went downstairs and saw dad over there talking in phone.
"hey, dad..what is this dress all about? "
He turned his face towards me as if he just noticed me now and then he hung up by saying,"I'll talk to you later, okay."
"hey, ema.." he kept both his hands on my shoulder and said,"it's a big day of your life! Just do as your heart says okay..don't rush up to decisions."
"yeah..but about what? "
"After all you're a suzuki, right?! "
"are you teasing me? "
"obviously not.. Just take things as they come up and face them with all your might!" am I going to a war? Someone honked right in front of our door and then dad said,"ryo's here...now go. Okay.."
"huh?" I headed outside with a complete blank look.
"just remember that cherishing every single opportunity is very important! " dad shouted from behind.
"you're always late, aren't you?!" ryo shouted at me as I sat beside him in his car.
We were now heading somewhere I don't know.
"where are we going?"
"you don't know?!"
"what I don't know?! You guys just storm in my room at early morning and order around there, what am I supposed to infer from that?!"
"ema..you're suzuki! "
"you also..?!!why you guys are teasing me?!"
"what?! Teasing? I think you don't know where are we going, do you?!"
"obviously I don't know and that's why I asked you at the first place, weren't you paying attention? !! "
"oh my god! Where were you all this time?!"
"beside you!! "
"listen, I can't tell you much now. Because we'll be reaching there soon..but listen carefully for now, you.... Haven't just inherited beauty but a lot of money and business! "
"ah..?"
"you're 18 now..so you're gonna have to take some decisions for your inherited wealth."
"just to take a decision I'm going to this... Whatsoever place?!"
"idiot! Well, now we've reached here..see for yourself the whatsoever -place! " I looked around where he was looking right now.
"SUZUKI GAMES LTD.INC" it was written in bold letters on the top of a huge building that was facing us and there was a huge crowd in front of that building.
I got out of the car and then the face of crowd turned towards me along with the camera flashes.
"just call me when you're done here, okay?!  I'll pick you up!" he said and made his way out to another road.
"you can't leave me like this!!" I shouted at his car.
Now what am I supposed to do?! The crowd had soon surrounded me and they asked various questions. They sure seemed more doubtful than I. Or maybe they got doubtful when they saw me with a doubtful face?! It was then when two huge strong guys, who seemed like the perfect bodyguards, came towards me and limited my space even more. They actually were clearing my way till the door. So now I was in this building! Yohoo!
"ma'am you're supposed to be in the board room right now!"one of them said.
Board room?! They guided me to that room and that room was on the 30th floor which was the last floor of this building. I went inside the room and saw 6-7 men in that room and they looked almost similar with black and white suit. They already were sitting and stood when I entered. There was sure excitement in this small group of similar looking men. But that made me a bit confused as for where I was supposed to go. All these men stood beside their chairs but  there were two  chairs left and somehow I could figure out that which one was for me. Also, that vacant chair had something special about it. It symbolised power because of its special position. So was that the chair where my real dad used to sit? That chair for sure fascinated me. Just as i stood beside it I looked around the huge table. I don't know but I had this strange feeling when I stood beside it. Was it the vibe that I received from them or was it the weird warmth that I felt from this chair when I sat on it.
"You must be Ms ema suzuki. I'm Mr yagami. Nice to meet my friend's daughter at last." a man in his early 50's said.
" I'm Ivo Fernández and your lawyer." he smiled.he was an old French -Japanese guy.
"I'm shinohara . " he was an equally old guy. But something about him made me felt uneasy. I felt as if he was forcing this wide smile on his face. Or maybe they fact that Mr Fernández being the same as his age seemed more passionate and lively.
"well,  we understand that this responsibility is actually very very huge. Actually. When I say responsibility, it's more like a burden, isn't it?!" shinohara said. What is it with this guy?! 
"let that Ms suzuki decide on her own . Let us not jump into any conclusions for the time being." Fernández said. There was something nice and charming about this guy. Though he seemed to be in his late 40's but his voice seemed far younger like a guy in his late 30's.
Mr Fernández sat beside me along with Mr yagami.
"so...let us start with the introductions, okay." yagami said.
"so, that's Mr.scarlet. His department is mainly concerned with inventing new games and softwares." scarlet was the youngest guy I could see here and shortest. Actually, he was of same height as me (5'6) while others were all tall, Ivo being the tallest almost over 6 while others had an average height around 5'8. He sat beside Fernández.
"now that's Mr marude. He fixes bugs in our new softwares and is also concerned with the feedbacks by customers."marude sat beside beside scarlet and had a welcoming personality. He was guy in his early 40's. Before we could move onto the next introduction there was another guy who had just arrived.  this guy sat beside marude. And there was something that I didn't like about this guy.
"you're pretty late Mr suzuki." Fernández said.who is he?! My brother? Or maybe he just happens to have the same surname as mine?!  He obviously isn't my brother or something! 
"well that's Mr suzuki and he handles international branches."
"and finally, this is Mr karp."
