The Past of the President
Graceful like a Model
"Assynnya!"
"Waalaikum salaam,
"Let's sit down, can anyone help?" Ameera's soft voice invited Benny who came directly to the Melati Villa just a friendship between the next door neighbors. While Benny finds out the information and tries to enter the gap in the Melati Villa family.
Ameera kept her stationery and closed her book, looking at Benny the first time they met.
Benny made him shake hands and get acquainted, with his hand thrusting but Ameera shook hands from a distance by holding her hands together on her chest.
Benny was stunned, beautiful women with so fashionable, had never seen a woman with a complete modern hijab that was so graceful, the stature of a model and artist was so good at looking at her.
"Please sit sir, I am Ameera managing the Melati Villa here." Ameera felt her chest with one hand.
"Benny, the clerk from the new hotel next door is this villa."
"Oh yeah? it's nice to meet the people of The Rich Hotel, isn't that his name?"
"Yes, The Rich Hotel, probably taken from the name of the owner."
"What a name! hope the hotel goes well and well." Ameera smiled looking at Benny.
"I only carry the mission of the owner of the hotel next door Bu Ameera, also hear from people if this villa wants to be sold, is that true? the owner of The Rich Hotel is interested in buying this villa if it was, wanted to be issued by the owner of this villa."
"Oh yeah? our feelings from the owner and manager did not issue and spread the news that this villa will be sold, we became a question mark Mr. Benny!"
"Oh, is that it? But if it's going to be sold, Boss Richard is very interested in this villa."
"So Richard is your boss? tell the owner of The Rich Hotel that we are from the manager and the owner there is no intention to sell our villa, at any price. So obviously this statement Mr. Benny heard directly from the heirs of the H family. Marzuki, my own son and family H. Marzuki once again has no intention of selling this villa."
"Alright Mrs Ameera, I am clear if I hear from the manager and the owner directly."
"Realat! I'm not the owner just the manager, this villa still belongs to my parents H. Marzuki, but enough of the statement I made represents the owner of this villa."
"Okay Bu Ameera, the discussion about the villa has obviously been heard, sorry Bu Ameera same parents I mean Mr Haji original people here?" Benny spoke carefully.
"It looks like Mr. Benny's a negotiation expert as well yeah, trying to find a loophole to know my family. Well, my parents are still the family of the founder of the most famous Foundation in this area, Al-Ikhlas, our family in the field of education there are also other businesses such as this villa, and another plantation owned by my parents Pala and Melinjo plantations which are now being developed into agro-tourism are still in the revamping stage."
"Well, I was lucky to be able to get acquainted with Bu Ameera the son of a successful entrepreneur as well."
"Not really, don't overdo us ordinary people only have small businesses that are managed by the family, our villa is only this is still the old building, but Alhamdulillah keep the rame every weekend always full."
"If I may know, why is the owner of The Rich Hotel so interested in our villa? what is for widening and expanding only?"
"The Rich Hotel Peak is the centerpiece of all the Bos Richard hotels, where he also lives here, in the filing of a meeting a few months ago the night club manager proposed the expansion of the night club because it felt less extensive, starting from there Bu Ameera."
"Is that so?"
"Our boss insisted that he wanted to own not all parts of the villa."
"I so want to meet with Mr. Benny's boss, let me give an understanding that allows The Rich Hotel also want me to buy if sold! please tell me that, Mr. Benny!"
"Haaa .. sorry Bu Ameera don't get emotional, I just say it."
"I know what you want Mr. Benny but it seems like the wrong target, me and my family have no interest in selling this villa land, let alone making it an expansion of the nightclub."
"Alright Mrs Ameera, I'm sorry that we remain good neighbors. I'm waiting for you if Ms. Ameera would like to visit our hotel."
"Together Mr. Benny, forgive me too, hopefully one day I can visit and meet directly with the owner of the hotel."
"It is with great pleasure that Ms. Ameera may we be able to share anything about our hospitality and business."
Ameera smiled.
Benny got up from his seat bowed, and implored himself. So did Ameera stand up and walk Benny forward. Benny walked until it was lost blocked by the front gate wall in Ameera's view.
