Capítulo 60: Cooperation Achieved

There is nothing unusual happened during lunch. There is only the spoon, and fork sound hit the ceramic plate throughout the dining room. Henry wiped his mouth with the napkin as he already finished his food.

In no time, Elise and Soeharto finished their food too. The waiter quickly cleaned the table and brought the dessert.

"This is the dessert specially made by my chef, and it's only served for a special occasion." Soeharto introduced the dessert to Henry

"Ohh, thank you for your hospitality then, Mr President." Henry humbly said. Then he took the special spoon that came with the dessert and immediately tasted it.

Henry put down the spoon and savouring the taste inside his mouth. 

"Praise for the chef." Henry can't say anything else. The dessert was genuinely exceptional, and it was the first time for him to tasted something like that. 

"Haha, many of my guest that tasted it said something like you too," Soeharto said with a smile on his face. Soon, they were chatting about the dessert and the topic around it. Elise occasionally inserted into their chat with her own opinion.

As their chat continued to heat up, the chat topic shifted from dessert to more substantial topic like business and politic. But it did not last long as someone entered the dining room. It was Prawiro, the Finance Minister.

"Mr President, the document already finished," Prawiro said respectfully.

"Well, it seems our chat will be continued later, Mr President," Henry said while rose from his seat. Elise immediately followed suit and stood beside Henry.

Soeharto rose from his seat and say, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

Then Prawiro was guiding them back to the meeting room earlier. Henry and Elise sat back to their seat earlier while Soeharto was reviewing the paper with the 3 Minister in another table.

"Why you bought so many mines, dear ?" Elise asked in a whisper as she can't hold her curiosity anymore. 

Henry pinched Elise nose lightly as her curious face is too adorable. 

"You will know it later." 

Elise pouted when she heard Henry reply. Unfortunately, she can't do anything about it. So she distances her chair away from Henry a little bit. When Henry wants to tease her again, he interrupted by Prawiro.

"Mr Henry, this is the report of the 38 mines you want, please inspect it." Prawiro handed a stack of paper to Henry.

Henry immediately turned into a serious expression. He received the paper and carefully inspected each of it with great care. Elise stopped her temper as she knew Henry was serious right now. She brought her chair closer back to Henry and tried to inspect the paper too.

Elise expression turned into a shocked one when she saw the report that Henry held. The report consisted of the complete information of all the 38 mines. It included the reserves, exact location, and other important information. 

Elise found the 38 mines basically covered all the natural resources that Indonesia has. 5 Coal Mines, 4 Gold Mines, 3 Silver Mine, 3 Natural Gas Well, 3 Tin Mine, 3 Copper Mine and the rest of it covered all other minerals like Bauxite, Platinum, Cobalt and many other.

Not just that, the price for each mine already marked clearly on the side of it. It started from $500,000 to $5 Million each. Although Elise never went outside of Indonesia, she still knew the value of the US Dollar. 

$1 can be changed for Rp415, and Rp415 is the average cost of living family of 3 for three days. So the string of USD in the paper made her dizzy. Although she knew that Henry was a rich man, it's not this much!

Elise surprise didn't end there, the total amount of money at the end of the report is even more shocking, $51.6 Million!!! That's not 51.6 Million Rupiah, it was US Dollar! Elise opened her mouth in O shape, but she quickly covered it with her hand. 

Henry smiled as he already expected Elise reaction to this report. He had not told Elise his exact wealth, he only let her knew that he was a rich successful Author. Henry put down the report paper to the table.

"Mr President, you know it's a bit hard to gather $51.6 Million at once for me now. Well, I can pay $9 Million with cheque now, just assume it as my advance payment. I will pay the rest later in the US at the latest 3 months." Henry said with a smile.

"Hahaha, no problem. Do as you want, Mr Henry." Soeharto laughed. Then he took a stack of paper from a briefcase and handed it to Henry.

Henry checked and found it was the legal contract for the transaction. The mining right is only valid for 30 years and it needed to be renewed once the contract period is over. But he had the priorities to renew it once the contract is done.

He can mine all the mineral in the 1 Miles radius of the mine area he had, but he can't build any commercial building other than for the mine. After carefully checked each term of the contract, Henry determined there is no legal loophole. 

"Mr President, can I borrow your pen? It seems my pen fell down in the dining room." Henry asked.

Soeharto glanced at Prawiro who immediately reacted. Prawiro then handed a box to Henry.

"My little gift for our cooperation. A fountain pen specially designed by Cross for me. Initially, I plan to use it for myself, but I decided to gift it for you." Soeharto explained the pen as Henry opened the box.

"Thank you for the gift, Mr President," Henry said while held the pen. Then he proceeded to sign the contract quickly. 

Soeharto smiled widely when he saw Henry signed it. He sighed by how easy it's to get $51.6 Million just by sold 38 mines. 

'Maybe I should sell another batch next time.' Soeharto thought. 

 Henry rose from his seat after finished sign the contract and extended his hand to Soeharto. Soeharto followed suit and shook Henry's hand.

"Happy cooperation, Mr President."

"Happy cooperation, Mr Henry."

Unknowingly by anyone that at this moment, the wheel of history had changed its track.

Capítulo 61: Memorial

After the cooperation was achieved, Henry and Soeharto decided to hold a celebration party at 4 pm before Henry went back to the US. As time now is only 1 pm, Henry decided to walk around Jakarta with Elise.

Soeharto, of course, didn't object Henry wish. He even ordered Soetopo to be their driver temporarily. With Soeharto approval, they quickly set off.

Even though Henry already visited Jakarta in the future, but due to the time difference, everything that he knows is not the same yet. So this can be called the first time Henry toured Jakarta.

The same with Elise, even though she is born and live here for her entire life, she never walked around Jakarta properly due to her condition. So naturally, she was excited at the prospect of touring Jakarta, especially with Henry beside her.

"Where are we going, Mr. Henry ?" Soetopo asked.

"Well, we go to the National Monument first," Henry replied.

As the National Monument only about 300 meters from the palace, they quickly arrived with only 1 minute of the drive.

"Soetopo, is there a camera? I want you to capture a photo of my fiancee, and I stand beneath the monument." Henry asked.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Henry. I will let my people get it immediately." Soetopo replied immediately as Soeharto already implied he must satisfy any of Henry request as long it was reasonable.

As the camera was not ready yet, Henry and Elise decided to go up to the monument peak with the lift. Different from the future where all kind of people can go to the peak by only paid a little money. Now only authorized personnel can go up the monument.

So there's only Henry and Elise alone at the peak as the staff already left to give the guest privacy.

Elise already changed her high heel with a flat lady shoe before departed from the palace to facilitate her movement. She immediately ran around the facility to saw what's there. Henry laughed when he saw Elise childish behavior.

Elise disappointed when she found there is nothing here. So she just walked to the balcony to observed Jakarta scenery. Luckily the weather is now cloudy, so she didn't have to fear struck by a sunburn.

Elise suddenly felt Henry was hugging her. His broad and warm chest quickly made Elise loosened her guard.

Elise quietly leaned her head toward Henry. She can hear his powerful heartbeat. She felt a strange feeling crept on her body, which strangely comfortable.

"Beautiful, isn't it? In just another 6 hours, you will leave this city and country that gave birth to you and possibly never returned." Henry suddenly said while he was looking toward the horizon

.

"Do you want to know something, dear ?" Elise asked back.

"Hmmm," Henry nodded.

"I still feel that this is a dream, a dream that so beautiful that I didn't want to wake up," Elise said while snuggled on Henry's chest.

"Do you still remembered that night when you took my virginity ?" Elise said while pinched Henry soft spot.

"Oouchh" Henry whimpered in pain.

"Luckily, I'm a good and benevolent girl. So I decided to forgive you." Elise smiled proudly.

Henry just silently heard Elise blabbering as he knew that Elise needs to released her feeling that trapped inside herself.

Elise released herself from Henry hug and walk to the balcony edge.

"Even though I was born and raised in this country, but I never think that this is my home country. Everything here seems so foreign to me, and no one truly knew my true self.

It was until you came, Henry. Even though we were technically a stranger two days ago, but I already assumed you as my only dependence.

I had no relative or someone close anymore as they all died!" Elise tear can't help but fell when she said that.

Henry stepped forward and rubbed Elise tear with his thumb gently.

"Don't worry. I will be your most powerful dependence. I will never be left you alone again, and this is my promise, and it will always be valid until I, Henry William, died!" Henry then lifts Elise's chin and lightly kiss her.

Then both of them was looking at the scenery of Jakarta that's still in its infancy.

---

After 30 minutes, Henry and Elise decided to come down as the weather starts to show the sign of rain. They want to get their photo captured first to serve as the memorial for the future.

"Mr. Henry, the camera was ready, do we took the photo now ?" Soetopo hurriedly approached Henry and Elise who just out of the elevator.

"Yes, I think it will rain soon, so we must hurry up." Then they immediately go to the designated photo spot.

With the monument as the background, Henry and Elise do various pose for the photo. As time is limited, the camera that Soetopo brought can only take 20 pictures. So the photo session quickly finished in just 10 minutes.

But both Henry and Elise already satisfied as that are already enough. 

"Mr. Henry, where are we going next ?" Soetopo asked respectfully.

Henry looked at the sky and found it was already very dark.

"Unfortunately it seems mother nature didn't want me to travel for today. Let's get back to the palace then." Henry said.

As if the mother nature answered him, a drop of water hit Henry face. Before Henry can wipe it, his face hit by the second, third, and soon it was raining.

"Get the car, Soetopo. I will wait there." Henry pointed a tree as he quickly held Elise's hand and start to ran.

Then Henry and Elise were running as fast as they can to the tree that Henry pointed earlier. Alas, even when they arrived there, their whole body already wet from the rain.

"Pfftttt… Hahahaha." Henry starts to laugh when he saw Elise face right now. It was a mess as her simple makeup torn off because of the water.

"Why are you laughing ?" Elise suspiciously asked.

Henry didn't answer. Instead, he was rubbing her face with his clothes. Elise quickly noticed what's going on, so she promptly washes her face with the rainwater.

After cleaned her face, Elise glared toward Henry.

2 minutes later, the car finally came. Henry and Elise quickly entered the vehicle.
