And it is a nice baby. A sweet little girl, light brown curly hair, and pampered a lot by everyone. It something to be proud of, such a nice mixed child, almost a status symbol.
When the baby is carried around by the pembantu, everybody looks and wants to touch her. The girl has a surprised look on her face, and looks around the crowd, if she is searching for something.
Harry likes the attention his child gets, he is really proud. Actually Harry is proud of many things he achieved. The Olympic medal has a little shrine at his home, and he knows many important people, not only in Bali, where he knows the governor, but also at home. When you meet Harry, he sometimes asks if you have ever heard of him, “you probably have, but it was some time ago, maybe you know my friend, who is still famous”. Harry does important things in the world, not only in Bali, but also in other parts of the world. “Children of this world deserve a chance to develop themselves”. Harry build a school in Bali, and made some medical facilities available. He uses his contacts to get supplies in his home country.
Harry knows about business in Bali. “I don’t trust anyone here, except my family”. If people frown when he says this, he usually replies that you have to try for yourself, and you will find out.
Harry likes to be on Bali, but not too long, he travels up and down, it’s the heat. It is probably the heat too, that makes Harry thirsty. Sometimes Harry is already thirsty in the morning, and goes to his favorite restaurant and the beach, and drinks an arak attack or two, on his own. He has an account there, he trusts the owner. Some people say that he once was throwing rupiah biljets around in that restaurant when is he was drunk, but that is probably not true, but many people know that Harry has some cash to spend. Harry has a big house with a swimming pool, and gave his wife a shop.
Harry has not only money to spend, but also good “deeds”. He spends some time offering help to others that want to help. (he likes to tell how much his foundation his to spend and he doesn’t know how to get rid of the money). That he not always keeps his promises and has a selective memory is easily forgiven, because he does so many good things, and anyway, he knows best how to spend. Even when he is criticized on his somewhat erratic behavior, people back him, Harry is a trustworthy guy!
He met his wife in that same restaurant. “I was presented the most beautiful girl of this town, and I couldn’t resist”. She is indeed attractive. 3 months later they got married. It is not more then a natural thing, that Harry now supports her family too. People on Bali are poor and need help. He had some trouble at home once, there was 20 million missing, but when threatened to stop the support of the family, the money was brought back, anonymously. Already 9 hand phones were stolen from him, but this just proves to Harry that Bali needs help.
When a girl is so lucky to marry a nice (and rich) guy, people get jealous. Jealousy is quite common in Bali, and sometimes this jealousy leads to “black magic”, but most of the time to gossip. They say many bad things about the wife of Harry. When Harry is back to his country, his wife is supposed to pay beautiful Balinese men to make love to her, and that she gave the stolen hand phones to these guys so she can easily “get them”. They tell that everybody laughs behind his back, because “he is so stupid”, they tell that he doesn’t even know that he bought his wife. Fortunately Harry hasn’t heard of these rumors, but if he did, he would know this was just gossip. It can’t be true, because Harry is a good guy, he even offered the former boyfriend of his wife 6 million if he gets married. No, whatever they say, Harry is a good guy, and nothing can happen to Harry, because he helps Bali, and people should be grateful for that.
