Spring In Paris

Alex is Rico's old friend

“Hai Ric, are you here?” A bule man greeted Rico while patting him on the back.

“Oh, Alex? Hi.” replied Rico in shock.

Alex was a friend of Rico when they were in college. But in the 3rd semester Alex was forced to leave Jakarta and continue to continue his college in his birthplace (Paris), in the following year. The reason is because, at that time his papa company was liquidated by its competitors. And Alex's family's economy suddenly fell apart. Fortunately, when his father fell, he got a loan from an old friend and slowly started his business again.

Now, although not as successful as his company used to be, his family's company has moved quickly. It all did not escape the many relationships that had worked with his family before..

“How are you sob” said Rico started the conversation. They're hi five.

“As you can see.” he replied Alex casually.

Rico pours the calvados into Alex's glass, followed by his own glass. They tos then gulped it down in one gulp.

“What happened, it seems you are not in a happy mood?” Alex probed, he saw some empty bottles on the table.

Rico looked at Alex. There, a brown-haired woman dressed in super sexy clothes with a tattoo on her nape, was writhing in Alex's arms. In his hand tucked a cigarette that he occasionally smoked and exhaled carelessly.

“Ahh.. You still haven't changed since we last met” said Rico smiling knot.

Rico still remembers when he always refused Alex's invitation to club and date beautiful girls on the dance floor when they were in college.

“Hahaha...It's a pleasure comrade” Alex stopped his sentence before continuing his next sentence

“And I see you changed a lot.. again there is a problem huh?”

Rico spent the contents of the bottle, “aku in measles right.” he said without looking at Alex.

“What? in measles, right? Hahaha.” Alex laughed

“is that the girl you told me about first?”

Rico has loved Kinan for a long time, and Alex has always been the place to share stories. Alex really did not expect, after so many years of feeling Rico still for the girl.

“Wow, I I'm not surprised at all, you are indeed the loyal type”

“I met him here.” Rico said

“What? Inhere? In Paris?”

Rico nodded. Alex didn't know what was going on.

Rico began to tell me about his enthusiasm to come here, his intentions and goals. But in the end, he had to swallow the disappointment because the presence of other men who arrived came and destroyed all his plans.

“Who? Who the fuck did you say? Dave's? David McLaughlin?” Alex was surprised to hear that name. A familiar name in his ears

“Do you know him?” Rico squinted his eyes.

“No, not just getting to know him, we have a grudge that we never forget, and the McLaughlin family has to pay for everything”

“What happened?” Rico wonders who Dave is to Alex's family.

“Huuh... it happened a few years ago, when I had to stop college and go home here.”Alex started telling stories.

He said the destruction of his family's company was due to the McLaughlin family. Family companies Alex “Emerald” and the family-owned SUN Corporatian Dave are involved in a fierce business competition. SUN Corporation with its capital and many outgoing business relationships won the tender they contested. Emerald has a lot of losses.

Not only that, Before long, news about frauds committed by Emerald became public. Alex's parents even received a phone call, that it turned out that the culprit of the incident was SUN Corporation.

Rico can see clearly, there is anger directed at Dave and his family for all the incentives that Alex and his family faced a few years ago.
