The London Business School, 2009
"Adrian Salman Erlangga aka Rye's handsome! Let's celebrate our graduation at The Glories!" cheers Leo Chung.
"Awesome ! We graduate with your birthday, Leo" said Adrian, embracing his best friend's shoulder.
"Yes, this is the best year of my life. 22 Years old, graduated from one of the best business schools in the world. LBS, baby !" Leo punched the air over his head.
"You still want to work in my family's office in New York? Or just go back to Hong Kong?" ask Adrian
"It seems I will always be a leech attached to you. .he.ha.ha! Yeah, of course I'll work with you in New York," Leo said
Suddenly, "Adriaaaaan ! It's me !" A beautiful woman screamed to him.
"Stefani ?" Adrian was surprised
Three months later ...
"Rye, next month you have your 21st birthday. How about we celebrate at the new nightclub in Soho ?" propose Leo while re-fitting his suit.
Rye budging.
"If you agree, let's go home, let's check the place. I know you don't like night clubs, but it's also convenient for people who want to hang out. They also have koq orange juice for your mama's son. Hehehe !" leo said excitedly
Adrian Salman Erlangga, the youngest of six children. The fight is calm, a little poker face. It takes extra effort to impress, upset, or sad. Very Boy Scout. Perhaps this is thanks to the upbringing of his eldest brother, Hendra Raharja Erlangga. They are 24 years old. Although different mothers, they are very close and loving copy.
Rye is generous, but never shows off. Leo has been very lucky to be his best friend since High School in Australia. Rye helped him in many ways, including accompanying him to S1 college in Japan and of course Rye who financed everything.
"Well, this is the club ! Cool, right ? Well, the queue is long, but I've reserved and gave the bouncer 100-dollar tips (guard and security officer). Total expenditure of 300 dollars. You can transfer to my account. Hehehe !" leo said while patting Rye on the shoulder.
"You want to, why did I pay ? Habits," said Rye flatly. Irreconceited, he took out his wallet and held out 300 dollars. " It's cash."
"Hi, can we join ?" said a blonde woman, followed by two of her friends.
"I'm Shannon. It's Gwen and Rita," said the blonde extending a hand.
"Hi, pretty ! I'm Leo and this is my friend, Rye." Leo introduced himself.
Leo was engrossed in chatting and laughing with the three women, while Rye was silent. Sometimes he sips his beer.
"May we order Champagne ?" leo asked Rye, in between her laughter
"Of course, with your money" replied Rye flatly
"Well, ladies, did you see for yourself ? That's my Rye ! By the way, three words are the longest. Haha !"
Since then, Leo and Shannon have been dating. Rita actually has a crush on Rye, but gets no response. Rye is also very busy commuting between the United States and Indonesia to take care of the family business.
Rye's 21st birthday is celebrated in a new penthouse, in the elite area of upper Manhattan. At that time, the price was still around USD 8 million. Rye is grateful to follow the advice of her brother, Hendra, because now the value has doubled to USD 20 million.
Hendra always reminded that all his expenses are not just a lifestyle, but also an investment.

Four years later.....
BRAAAKKK! Leo kicked down the dinner table.
"Shannon, what are you thinking? Four years of breaking up with me. Your time does not affect my nature ? I don't like commitment! Especially having kids!" snapped it.
"I know, Leo, but I'm afraid to abort. I saw the syringe was shaking." Shannon sniffled
"You can stay in my apartment, but don't expect me to marry you. You left here after your son was born" said Leo. " Oh, yeah, make yourself useful while here." Leo passed by, grabbed his jacket and walked out of the apartment.
Shannon hugged her knees on the sofa, looking out of Leo's bedroom window. He came to Ney York from Minnesota to attend Hudson University. Not only college, Shannon also dreamed to live among the New York jet set and become a socialite.
For all that, he lives super sparingly in order to always have money to be able to get into elite clubs. Entrance fee is only at least USD 50. For drinks and chairs, at least he had to spend USD 100. What did he do at the club? Looking for rich friends and girlfriends.
Shannon recalls her first meeting with Leo at the New Soho Night Club. The entrance fee is USD 100. One bottle of beer and stand on discotheque need USD 75. Therefore he was happy to succeed in attracting Leo who sat in the VIP seat. To sit there, visitors must pay USD 200.
Later, Shannon found out that Adrian was the rich one. Shannon still loves Leo. The man was the same as himself, happy to party and live to be a socialite.
Meanwhile, at the Erlangga Group representative office, Leo was waiting for an interview agenda with a prospective manager, replacing Jeremy Hanson who died in an accident.
Life is really unfair. Rye and I went out of the same school from High School to S2, but she became a manager immediately because her company was family-owned, whereas I had to wait four years to become a manager. That is if I am elected. HUH! inner Leo
Leo was indeed chosen to be the manager, of course with Rye's intervention. Rye, who was in Hong Kong at the time, made recommendations that overestimated Leo's achievements on several successful projects. Though success is the result of Rye's own smart work.
One week after Leo's appointment as manager, Rye returns to New York. Lunch at a restaurant near the office.
"Oh, my God, Leo! Come on, change seats with me!" rye blingsatan.
"Why indeed? What's up, anyway?" Leo was astonished and reluctant to get out of his chair.
"There's Mariska! Hurry, hurry!" rye said, panicking.
Leo turned to look at Rye's eyes. While looking down, Rye got up and moved towards Leo's chair, pushing him forcefully. Leo got up from his chair, but immediately his ignorant intentions arose.
"Hi, Mariska! Come on, come here!" Leo shouted as he waved his hand towards Mariska.
Rye was glued, she had not had time to sit in Leo's chair. His eyes were glaring at his friend. "Fuck you, Leo!" whispering anyway.
"Hello, Leo... Rye!" greet Mariska as she approached the table of the two of them.
Leo kissed Mariska's right cheek as a sign of greeting. Rye Hanys reached out clumsily.
"Oh, dear Ryr. Relax, don't strain. I get it now. You prefer Leo to me" said Mariska winking.
"No, no, me and Leo's friends," Rye's argument is misbehaving.
Leo and Mariska laughed. Mariska came to the toilet. Leo saw Mariska storing the bag at the left corner table, where three of her friends were already sitting there.
"I'm going to the toilet too" said Leo
The male toilet is on the turn to the right, while the female toilet is to the left. Leo stood in front of the toilet, like he was in line. He saw Mariska. Leo called.
"At that time, I had been dating Rye for four months, but she was always busy. I got upset and asked to break up. He apologized. I said I was lonely and needed more attention from him. Rye agreed and to prove it, she wanted to sleep with me, but her 'junior' wouldn't wake up. She panicked when she saw me angry and slapped her," Mariska said amusedly in memory of her failed ML incident.
Leo laughed, "Oh, poor, Rye."
One week later...
"Rye, come on, tonight accompany me and Shannon to the opening of the club in Tribeca. Jeffrey, my neighbor, one of the owners," Leo asked.
"Jeffrey's a doctor at Hudson Hospital? Or do you have another friend of Jeffrey's?" ask Rye.
"Yes, Jeffrey's the doctor."
That night, they left for the Hot Tribeca Night Club.
"It's also good for the club, although not as expensive as the clubs in Soho" Rye said when asked his opinion by Leo.
"Please, special one bottle of red wine and one glass of orange juice for Mr. Adrian. Hehe!" said Jeffrey, the host.
Rye, are you okay? Why are you sweating?" shannon asked in surprise.
"Eitherway. My body doesn't taste good. It's hot" said Rye, unbuttoning her shirt.
"I'd better call Leo and Jeffrey." Shannon went up and down to the disco floor calling out to the two. Soon they returned to the VIP seats.
"Have you traveled abroad in the past week?" jeffrey asked while holding Rye's forehead.
"I just got back from Spain two days ago" replied Rye. The adrenaline is roaring
"Well, there it is. It could be a virus or you want the flu. You know, alcohol at the right dose can be a drug. I'll give you champagne, on the house. It's the kind of drink that the body absorbs most quickly," Jeffrey said, coding the waiter.
"Rye, I'll accompany Jeffrey to a welcome speech. You know, as a courtesy. After that, we go home. OJ?" said Leo patting Rye's shoulder.
"You can use my room while lying down." Jeffrey offers.
Rye drank a glass of champagne. He's feeling a little better. Then he drank another two glasses and started to get drunk. Shannon took him to Jeffrey's room.
"I helped you unlock your shirt and belt, yeah. My yoga teacher said, this can make you breathe more freely," Shannon said as she removed the buttons on Rye's shirt and loosened her belt.
Shannon's touch makes Rye very passionate. His eyes were twitching. His brain feels empty. Rye hugged Shannon and overpowered her. Shannon smiled and invited Rye with her gaze.
Rye greedily devoured Shannon's body. They do it three times, until Rye finally droops in Shannon's lap. They sleep hugging on the carpet.
Leo and Jeffrey enter Jeffrey's office. Leo hysterically sees his best friend hugging his girlfriend. Jeffrey calmed him down immediately.
Leo squeezed his head with both hands, trying to calm himself down. He asked Jeffrey to take a blanket. Jeffrey took out a thin blanket from the closet and enveloped the couple.
The next morning, Rye banguj first. His head hurts and he is very surprised to get himself naked with Shannon. Rye wakes up and crawls looking for her clothes. After getting dressed, he woke up Shannon.
Shannon cries and Rye tries to calm down.
"Rye I don't regret what happened. You are very manly and satisfying. I cried because I felt guilty for Leo" Shannon said with a hiccup
"I'll talk to Leo. It's all my fault." Rye said as she hugged Shannon.
Rye's out of Jeffrey's study. He finds Leo and Jeffrey asleep on the guest couch. Rye asks Shannon to go home, before waking up Leo and Jeffrey.
"So you guys saw us last night?" rye asked with a look of shame and guilt
"Of course, Rye! You think I'll leave you at the night club?" said Leo. " I'm angry right now, but I want to believe that you did it by accident because of a hangover." His face was disappointed
_____________________***______________________
Since that incident, Rye has felt very guilty towards Leo. It was he who caused Leo's breakup with Shannon. Rye felt like she was the ugliest human being on earth.
One day Leo came to submit a report to Adrian. Leo is welcome to sit on the sofa and Adrian sits nearby. After discussing the work, Adrian asked Leo for news.
"I'd be lying if I said I was okay. I'm hurt, Rye, but you're my best friend. I am also indebted for all your kindness. You financed my life, my school, even gave me a job" Leo said
"I could lose Shannon. But as time went on, I was able to find a replacement. But you are not replaceable. You're my true friend" he continued with glassy eyes.
Rye hugged him and cried. He feels more guilty
Shannon met Rye one month after the incident. At the apartment, he was very nervous. Back away he looked in the mirror. Fortunately, her stomach is small so it is quite convincing if she says she just got pregnant for a month. This will only be a problem if the pregnancy is large.
"Hopefully he will give you money. After today's meeting, we won't see each other again. So she won't know that I gave birth two months sooner." Shannon said
They met at a cafe. Rye came five minutes after Shannon.
"Thank you for meeting me. I'm pregnant, it's been three weeks. I'm not asking you to marry me or give me a lot of money. It's just, if you want to help a little.hiks..
" Shannon paused for a moment and wiped her tears. "I lost my job at Zara's fashion house, because I've been nauseous in the morning since last week. Can I borrow some money for living expenses and medical expenses?" speechwriter
Rye moved from her seat. He moved to the chair next to Shannon. He held Shannon's hand.
"I will also look for parents who want to adopt this child" Shannon continued in tears.
"Shannon, forgive me. You have to get sick and lose your job because you are pregnant with my son. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility. You stay in my penthouse. I was rarely there because I had to go back and forth to Indonesia to start my own company. But I'm going to hire one as your personal assistant" Rye said
"We don't love each other, but I'm gonna be the father to this baby. Thank you for not aborting it." continued Rye
Shannon was shocked. This is far beyond his expectations. He thought Rye would give him a piece of check with a tempting value, palin a little USD 100 thousand.
How is this ?
