The Past of the President
Vanny

Richard re-enters his hotel across the front office and to the left of the main building.

Change clothes and ready to step out of his loneliness.

Entering the nightclub that is still so quiet there are only one or two visitors casually drinking in the corner of the sofa, some workers and servants are also busy improving.

Richard occupied his seat of greatness near the right bartender while sweeping his surrounding view, although not a Sunday night but the night club is still usually rame on the visit of hotel guests who want to hangout and momentarily relax the nerves of the busyness and routine.

The longer the night the more people on the go and enjoy the atmosphere that is served, although it is only Saturday night and week this clab can present DJ or Disk Jockey to be more able to liven up the atmosphere, although it is not until Saturday night and week this clab can bring DJ or Disk Jockey to be more alive, but other nights only present live music accompanied by singers there are contracts there are also singers who remain in the band itself.

Club manager Alvin approached the once-your-own Rich boss with a respectful bow.

"Boss himself? do I talk and drink?"

"Can, sit!"

"Alvin, is this room guaranteed soundproofing?"

"Why, why the boss? is there a neighbor protest or is there something uncomfortable with the club tonight?"

"I'm just asking, it's okay."

Alvin silently looked at his boss.

"Who's the singer tonight?"

"I'll ask the head of the band first."

Alvin went to ask the head of his band, the little guy was so smart managing the club tonight, he said, the strategy is always fresh and the results are quite up the night club rating is above the average night club other hotels are still under management from The Rich Hotelis.

"Janeeta Boss, there's a new band singer but a guy."

Rich just nodded and smiled.

"Oh, heee..just say it and order it later if it's over don't go home." Alvin joked in front of Boss Richard.

"Gue's bored of your stock Vin."

"Haaaa.new Denger Boss says bored."

"Can't I say bored?"

"By the Boss, but not bored of the language but I want a new sting haaa..."

Richard smiled.

"Kok, Annet hasn't come Vin?"

"The boss' ngaret habit, the old girl has not worn this."

"Usually he doesn't sing tonight when last night was, instead of changing up with his friend?"

"It just so happened that today the other singer was not present so the head of his band called him, Annet was ready, just ready, I was also amazed at his persistence he wanted to be an important replacement maybe just as the honorific."

"What do you think Vin Annet is?"

"He talks to me a lot, sometimes he confides too, sometimes, he's a smart guy who is good at taking care of himself even though his life is like this in quotes but he doesn't want to be shown to others and tries to cover it up.

Do not want others to know the profession plus the plus, in the presence of others trying to find an alibi especially in front of his mother, especially in the presence of his mother, he has the ambition to change his life for a better future all must also start with the sacrifice of the Boss."

Richard just found out that Janeeta has aspirations to change her life now, she does not look as glamorous as others. The women he dated were on average socialite-looking and that was their demand.

But Janeeta is simpler in Richard's view but indeed more pleasing to him, Janeeta also reminds him of his past, like his past which began from a dark black valley and even concentrated until now he can not get out of the problem and the world.

But he can now better be able to pioneer the effort from his efforts to collect rupiah from serving anyone who needs his warmth with abundant material. But her admiration for Janeta seemed to open the veil of Richard's own past who began his life pioneering his efforts from the road of collecting with the results of his own sweat.

"Call him here before he sings."

"Do you want friends now?"

"Can."

Alvin went out of nowhere but soon appeared again in haste before Richard and whispered something in his ear Richard nodded and let go and assented.

Alvin ran to one of the tables and held a woman with a charming smile.

"Hello Richard, how are you?"

"Vanny?" Richard laughed while standing the woman called Vanny kissed the flamboyant cheek with a smile.

"Yes, I'm still Vanny."

"Haaaaaaaa.. I know that, but when does it come home? how's your business there?"

"It's not as fast as The Rich Hotel and Night Club."

"It can be lo."

"Gue just found out that The Rich Hotel and Club is like a mushroom in this town."

"After we discuss it, pantesan I want to come here earlier want the arrival of super special guests apparently."

"May I be special?"

"Haaa.maybe, I'm sure glad to see you back at my new place."

"Thank you handsome, you're still the way you used to always catapult me heeee..."

"Have you been drinking yet? let me take a penny."

"Gue doesn't want to drink here, he wants to eat! you know, right?"

"Gue's still not senile Vanny, but before 'eating' with us just drink first, I still remember orange juice fizzy."

"Gue doesn't like to get drunk on Rich, because I want to enjoy life and all this pleasure consciously."

"Slogan and his life motto hasn't changed, hopefully the person hasn't changed either."

Vanny laughed as she rubbed Richard's cheek.

"Okay Vanny, your favorite drink is coming, we're toast for the night of this meeting."

They toast each other's drinks with meaningful eyes.

Vanny is a lonely successful widow, always a friend of Richard in every way, Vanny a free man with no commitment like Richard too, living with success brings Vanny to life and glamorous promiscuity.

They need each other to give and take, they are best suited friends in everything including bedmates.

Vanny developed her parents' business in Surabaya, inevitably following what her parents intended for her there, they met at a nightclub when Richard had not rocketed to what he is today.

Property business and contractor managed Vanny so fit and connect with Richard who just built his business. And again intensively build hotel hotel.

Part of The Rich Hotel in Bogor city was built on the cooperation of Vanny and Richard, and they are also mutually beneficial personal cooperation.

Vanny is the widow of an Australian engineer who has so much discrepancy and compatibility in every way, Her husband needs to return to his country because the project in Indonesia is done to make Vanny is in the chosen community, Vanny does not want to come to Australia and Jim also does not want to live in Indonesia, they finally split well.
