A jet with 2 foreign pilots
waiting for them on the runway. Some people greeted Shakti. Shakti
give the car keys to one of the people there and return the greetings
pilot and get on the plane. The pilots closed the plane doors
tell Shakti they'll be airborne safely and get to the destination
in less than 2 hours. Shakti then sat down on the sofa, pulling the glass and wine
then downing it even before the plane takes off.
15 Minutes and 3 glasses later Shakti finally calmed down
and to start talking, he told me about what happened in the meeting room. April
let Shakti talk while continuing while drinking his wine
“I've guessed sir, in Mr. Robby's memoir he's the same
not once did he mention his children's business that bankrupted him, but he
nor does he mention the father as the one who helped his company expand,
he just mentioned his children helping his expansion” said April
“I also realized the success of PT Sigma expansion
started since I came home study”
“My brothers were raised in a rich way.
They're spoiled, whatever they want is bought, they're in school
or don't you don't care, it seems like that's how he made up for his childhood
poor, he spoiled them with abundant treasure” Shakti then chugged
the rest of the wine is finished.
“My birth was very unplanned. My parents
think the mother will not get pregnant because it has entered the age of menopause. Just suddenly
pregnant mother then gave birth to me, different from my brothers, I was born when Dad
he was busy with his electronics factory. So there is no time for
pampering me. Even so, he always sent me to the most important school
expensive, even abroad. I attended the summer camp and
exchange students all over the world, and I finally settled down long ago to
I finished my study right when my brothers experimented with expansion
they”Shakti poured more wine into his glass
“When I came home my factory condition was not
well, even though the business is running normally, but all the capital money runs out for
construction of Juna automotive plant. Every advantage of PT. Sigma allocated
for an automotive factory whose value is only good on paper.
While the sale is not going. Their marketing and PO systems failed
in total, even from the PO 700 units sold, the factory could only accommodate
300 units. The buyers demanded money back. The company demands PT. Sigma,
because the factory was under PT Sigma directly. Juna himself escaped with
her boyfriend to Cambodia” Shakti again downed his wine, apparently
this man is very strong drink, evident after 5 glasses of wine talk is still
smooth and his gaze was still focused
“In just 3 months the automotive factory was closed.
Dad sold a lot of assets to cover his losses, even though at that time
PT finances have not recovered properly from the losses of the Arbi Mall business and the park business
rezha entertainment. Automotive factory sold, dad sold his electronics warehouse
in Bandung, Surabaya and Semarang.80 out of 112 branch stores in Indonesia
closed, houses, cars, land, everything sold. Until the electronics factory
main was planned to be closed” Shakti poured more wine into his glass
until the bottle is empty
“When I came home dad said he was going to start it all
again from the beginning, like the 80s again. Because of my brothers at the time
all of them fled abroad I finally took the initiative to help dad. I took it
dad registered his company IPO to get capital, then cooperated
with china supplier to get cheaper price. I forced dad
to sell class 2 electronics at a cheaper price under the auspices of PT
the same, so that the minimum business continues to run. IPO success, because with
big names Robby Maheswara and PT Sigma, believers invest in
the company. With that money I made PT Sigma Ahli Abadi, selling intilan
computer, phone, and others at low prices. After my success, I
make PT Sigma Cahaya Abadi and Sigma Abadi Sentosa.10 years, only in.
in 10 years, my father's glory returned, and I was kicked out” Shakti downed
fill the glass, he then opened the wine refrigerator again
“Hmmm, Hermitage year 2000, this fine wine, you want
try?”Shakti offered, April shook her head strongly, she should stay sober at this moment.
The boss is not okay.
“Okay, whatever, one day I'll teach you about
wine-wine ya” he said then opened his Hermitage bottle and
pouring it into a glass, he kissed and sipped it satisfied.
“Pak, if that saved the company back then
is the father, is now with the father of the company will not
destroyed?” ask April
“ITU DIA...”hoyer Shakti, her second glass Hermitage
it seems to make him start to get drunk
“and somehow Pril..
caring about them, I still care about my family's survival….DOG”
he shouted again, blaring in the cabin of the ship. After the wine in the glass was gone, he
toss the glass, then drink the wine straight from the bottle.
April didn't ask any more, she sat in a chair
this private jet is covered in soft cowhide while hugging its shabby bag.
While his boss downed the wine in the fridge one by one.
“This..ini Moet & Chandon year 2008 for driver.
plane...” said Shakti while pouring 2 bottles of wine into the hands of April
continue drinking wine as if April wasn't there.
When the plane landed the sky was already dark. Lights
the lines in the airport are very beautiful, the buildings are very beautiful. If
only April was not in this situation, he might be able to enjoy the scenery more
out there. But this time his boss needs him more, Shakti is lying down
in his chair, there were 6 bottles of wine scattered on the floor. April was amazed
the ability of his boss to drink wine, until it takes 6 bottles to make it not
be aware.
The plane landed perfectly, then the pilot
direct the aircraft to a smaller hangar. A pilot came out of
the cockpit is approaching April
“Tough day right?”ask in April, April
nodding slowly
“Give me your passport, I’ handle the customs, you
driver can help Mr. Maheswara entering the car” April
his passport and gave it to that bule pilot
“Okay April, see you again in the minute, anyway
name is Tom, and the other guy is Brad” he said while reading his April passport
“Nice to meet you, and thank you again. Anyway Shakti
told me to give both of you this” April hand over 2 bottles of Moet & Chandon
to Tom. He smiled happily
“Oh Boss, you are such a nice guy, tell him we love
it” said
“Asolely” replied April while nodding
The plane stopped perfectly, a black sedan
luxury and golf carts containing 2 airport officers approached. Plane door
then it opened, Tom and Brad went down first and met the people there. Visible
Tom handed over April and Shakti's passports to the airport staff, then Brad
get a luxury car driver on the plane
“Goodnight Miss April, I Andi the driver will
drive you today” said a man of about 40 years old
entering the plane , April nodded, she was shocked to be spoken to by language
Indonesia and already know his name, it seems Tom and Brad told him when
come down earlier
“Night Pak” reply April short
“Me and Pilot Brad will be carrying Mr. Maheswara
car yes Nona” said asking permission. April nodded and followed
they're from behind. Tom helped her get off the plane while giving her a
passport
“Take care of him yes, we will go back to Jakarta, If
you need us Mr. Maheswara know how to reach us” she said with a smile
“Thank you again, safe flight” said last April
walk towards the car.
The car then walked out of the airport
“Where are you Miss?”ask Andi while driving.
Honestly, April doesn't know where to go. This is the first time he has been to
Singapore, even the first time he went abroad. Saw Shakti lying in
the back seat couldn't have asked April
“Does Mr. Shakti have a place to stay in
Singapore?”ask April
“Yes, the Maheswara family has a condominium in the middle
remember the feud with his family
“We go to hotel aja pak” said April, he wants to make
Shakti realized first and then let Shakti decide where to go next
“Good Non, to which Hotel?”andi asked again, her eyes
keep focusing on the streets
“What Mr. Shakti has a hotel that he often goes to
here?”ask April again
“In addition to Condo Pak Shakti often stay at Marina
Bay Sands, we're there Non?”
“Iya, we are there yes Pak” pinta April. Mr. Andi
nodding in understanding then driving his car to Marina Bay Sands.
A few minutes later they arrived at the hotel
very large with the form of a cruise ship at its peak
“I check in first, Mr. Andi can help find
concierge to bring a wheelchair for Mr Shakti?”pinta April
“OK Non, I parked first in the drop off front” says
Andi.
Before entering the hotel April ransacked the jacket
shakti used it and took Shakti's long purse. He thought it would
useful in later.
Bellboy points out the direction of the receptionist, the atmosphere of the lobby
very crowded like a mall, the visitors either stay or just
visit his famous skypark observation deck, then wander in the lobby.
As April approaches the receptionist, the receptionist sees April from the end
feet to head
“Good evening, how may I help you?” ask the women
uniformed receptionist with fluent English
“I would like to checked in” said April slowly, still
hugging his shabby bag. The receptionist did not cover the face at all
trust in April. Of course with April's shabby appearance, her face
the one without makeup, not to mention greasy after a day here and there. If April
even in the position of this woman, she will think the same, from where
who dare to check this at a hotel as expensive as this. But April is not out
wit
“I need one room for Mr. Maheswara” says April while
giving Shakti's passport and black card he took from the wallet
Shakti. See the black card and Maheswara's name mentioned April's look
the receptionist changed completely
“Mr. Maheswara..of course..” he said cheerfully, he then.
call one of the concierges and deliver April to a special room to
registration of guests staying in the Club Room
“He is one of our beloved guest, his preferred room
always in Club room facing City, Mr. Maheswara loved citylights” says Concierge
delivering
“Anyway, Mr. Maheswara kinda passed out right now, so
if he is regular in this hotel, could you give us the room first and we finish
the registration tomorrow when he wakes up?”pinta April
“Absolutely.let me grab the key and escort you to.
the room” said the tall man in the neat blue uniform, April at a glance
reading name tag on his chest ‘Brian’. Before long Mr. Andi and a bellboy
coming while pushing Shakti in a wheelchair, the situation is very
alarmingly.
“I can not long non, car is still parked
in drop off” said Mr. Andi
“Oh yes Pak gapapa, I'm back, we will
phone if need gap” said April. Mr. Andi then said goodbye and left. Brian
then they brought back the keys and went to the 24th floor. Brian
explain which floors for lifestyle and shopping, which elevator to go to
skypool, where casinos, clubs, restaurants, museums and then they get to the rooms.
The room was quite large with a king size bed,
sofa, bathroom with bathtub and shower and free minibar. Brian and Ali
help carry Shakti to bed. April who had ransacked the wallet
Shakti found Singapore dollars in it.
“Please call concierge if you need further assistant”
brian said before closing the door. April gave each 10 dollars
Singapore on Ali and Brian.
April sat on the floor. He doesn't believe
with what happened today. He woke up in the capital, and his sore was already
being in another country. His life for a few days has been very surprising,
his meeting with Shakti changed everything. From April who only ate rice
rames once every 2 days, becomes April who eats all you can eat lunch at a cost
600,000 rupiah in the capital's luxury hotel. Compared to April
sad, who cried because his father died, then his mother. April
the one in and out of the flea market sells goods in his house. Then April the
tricked his lover and his own best friend to just have a swipe
dress. April chooses to follow Shakti, a smart man who betrayed her family.
Who had desperately defended his family and was even kicked out. April
I know what it's like to be betrayed, and because Shakti helped April, April
want to help Shakti.
April stood up from her seat. Opened his coat then
approaching Shakti on the bed, opening his glasses, his bomber jacket, shoes and
his socks are also his belt. Last April, I took mineral water
looking at the large windows, Citylight Singapore is indeed very beautiful. April
open the drawer and find ramen, and potato chips. Seeing his boss still
fainting and his stomach feeling hungry, he then brewed his ramen to eat it with
potato chips while watching the show on cable TV.
Suddenly heard ******* and a loud moan, April
who had finished eating and was being engrossed in watching hurriedly turned his head on
his boss who was already sitting in bed, April knew what was going to happen
furthermore, Shakti will definitely vomit. April took him to the bathroom, and
before reaching the toilet, Shakti had vomited, on his clothes and on his clothes
April. April is all that power driving Shakti's big body to the toilet, tying
his hair tangled with his hair tie and let Shakti pull out the contents
15 Minutes passed, it seemed that Shakti's stomach was empty, his body was already
no shaking and the only thing that comes out is gastric fluid. Last April it was released
a checkered shirt and Shakti trousers, then take her to the shower,
pair the shower cap, set the air shower to warm and then rinse the Shakti
with warm water and soaking it. He took off his full clothes
with Shakti vomit. April dared to do that because she saw Shakti
still unconscious, let alone to realize that April is half naked in
before him, to stand alone he could not. April must rest the body
Shakti is 180 cm tall to his tiny body which is only 150 cm.
Once it felt quite clean, April half carrying Shakti to the mattress
cover him with a towel, put on a bathrobe, then he himself attacked
water while wearing a bathrobe, from the April mirror saw the reflection of Shakti's face.
This time because her hair was tied back by April, and covered in a shower
cap for the first time April could see Shakti's face clearly.
His firm jaw, his dense black eyebrows, his nose pointed, his lips
the pink one, the protruding cheekbones confirmed his handsome face.
Yes, behind his thick glasses and tangled hair that covers part of Shakti's face is very
handsome, very very handsome. Not to mention models or artists in Indonesia,
with overseas models and artists it seems that Shakti is no less handsome.
Why did he cover it all this time?
The water kettle then rang, the water sign was already
seethed. April brews the twinnings of mint scent for Shakti, in addition to
refreshing, it also eliminates the smell of vomiting in Shakti's mouth.
Last April helped Shakti to drink, he recalled
a few days ago Shakti did this for him. Even without
opening his eyes, Shakti was able to finish his tea. April is very
again, this time so that Shakti's stomach feels warm, he also adds sugar. Subsequent to
april's second glass helps Shakti to be comfortable in bed, and
let him sleep quietly. April went back into the bathroom
cleaning his clothes, then Shakti's clothes are vomited, and,
he hung it with a coat hanger, and he took a shower. April dried up
his body, wrapped in a bathrobe, again he did not sleep
wearing underwear because it was wet when bathing Shakti earlier. But April
no longer caring, he was tired and sleepy. April tried to lie on the couch,
but unfortunately the sofa was too small even for his tiny body. Because
already tired April did not care anymore, she then went up to the bed, rolled on the side
sebrang Shakti, then closed his eyes.
