from the dark with you above me chapter 8

“I’ll stop,” Serena warned, whispering next to her ear. Abbie shivered. “Do you want me to stop?”

“What’s their deal?” Tracey asked her when Alex and Olivia passed them, walking incredibly closely, on the steps of the courthouse. The air nipped at Serena’s cheeks and nose. A gust of wind infiltrated her too-thin-for-the-weather coat. She took a sip of her hot coffee.

“Exactly what it looks like,” said Serena. She didn’t bother hiding anything from Tracey, ever. It was not worth it, because Tracey would figure out anyway and then be far too triumphant in her victory.

“Interesting,” said Tracey, delighting in gossip. “That’s nice for them.”

“Alex is really happy,” said Serena.

“And you?” asked Tracey. “How are you doing?” Serena sighed.

“I’m okay,” she said.

“Mm-hm,” said Tracey skeptically.

“I’m dealing,” she clarified.

“You know what you should do?” Tracey began one of her sage pieces of advice.

“What,” said Serena hesitantly.

“You should go on a real date. I know someone. She’s your age, single, and not a lawyer.”

That was exciting and nerve-racking. She was getting over Abbie, or telling herself she was anyway. The further away from her she got, the more Serena realized how much affection had built up for the woman, and she started to worry for her. With some distance, the night Abbie had panicked began to make her concerned rather than angry. She wasn’t sure she wanted to get herself into that, after all. Some distraction, some reminder of what else was out there could be really good.

“You’re sure she’s real?” said Serena.

“Positive. She’s general manager at a bar in Chelsea.”

“How did you meet her? Serena said with amused confusion. They were so busy, she hardly imagined Tracey had much time to get to know many people outside of the profession.

“She’s a friend’s niece,” said Tracey.

“And she’s my age?”

“Maybe a little younger, I’m not sure. But I’m older than you think of me, Serena.”

“I guess you have a young soul,” Serena replied. Tracey smiled at her, flattered.

“So what do you say?” Tracey asked.

“I’ll do it,” said Serena. She may as well. Tracey gave her an approving look.

“A Cabot and a detective,” Tracey went back, “how fascinating.”

---

“I have a date tonight,” Serena announced. Alex emerged from her bedroom half-dressed.

“A date?” She said, “with who? Since when?”

“Tracey set me up with her friend’s niece. Get this, she’s not a lawyer.”

“A miracle,” said Alex, pulling on her sweatpants.

“I know. I’m meeting her at this cocktail bar. Seems kind of hipster.” Serena leant against the wall.

“That should be nice,” said Alex. Serena went into her bedroom and Alex followed She sat on the edge of the bed.

“This dress or this one,” she said, holding them up. One was short, black and satin, form fitting with a subtle ruffled hem. The other was longer, A-line, red.

Alex considered them both. “The black if you’re going to wear silver, the red if you’re going to wear gold.”

“Good point,” said Serena, looking at her jewelry. She tried on the black and looked in the mirror.

“This one,” she said. “I’m a little nervous.”

“Aw,” said Alex. “There’s no need. I’m sure you’ll dazzle her.

“That’s not why.”

“Oh,” said Alex knowingly. “You’ll forget all about that.”

“I hope so,” Serena said, fidgeting with the dress.

---

Her date was not her age, as Tracey had thought, but 23, fresh out of college. Serena kept her mind open-- men did it all the time-- and she was attractive, tall and redheaded, slight and bubbly. Serena was enjoying herself, and not thinking about Abbie at all.

Until she walked into the bar, trailed by Elle then Lisa. She could not believe her luck. When they made eye contact, Serena coughed on a sip of her (overpriced, botanical) cocktail. Abbie elbowed Lisa in the ribs.

“Are you okay?” said her date.

“Yes, yeah I’m fine, excuse me,” Serena said. “You were saying something about Cornell?”

“Yeah, I went to their hotel school,” she said.

“So you want to work in hospitality forever?” Serena asked, preoccupied. She looked over the other woman’s head. Abbie was staring. Elle was patting her shoulder.

“I want to open my own hotel,” her date said. Serena tried to shake off Abbie’s presence and mostly succeeded.

“That’s cool,” said Serena.

“I believe in the power of service, you know? I like making people happy and stuff.”

“I could use some of that,” said Serena wearily.

“Not a lot of joy in the law?” asked her date. She placed her hand on the table invitingly. Serena took it. It was soft. It was appealingly simple.

“No,” said Serena. “A lot of my job is making people miserable. People who deserve it, mind you, but it doesn’t feel good. And when I’m not doing that, I’m disappointing people who don’t deserve it.” That may have been too much honesty, Serena realized when her date’s face fell. The downside of non-lawyers is they had no capacity to understand what she did for a living.

“That’s too bad,” said her date.

“Yeah,” said Serena. An awkward silence fell over them. “What do you like to do for fun?” she asked.

“I watercolor paint,” the other woman said, clearly still bummed out. “What about you?”

“That’s nice,” said Serena. It was, in fact, bland. “I don’t have much time for hobbies. I read.” she finished her drink. Her date followed suit.

“Shall we?” her date said, gesturing to their empty drinks and the door.

“Sure,” said Serena. As they walked out, Serena caught Abbie watching them the whole way. Could she really be jealous?

“Can I kiss you?” the redhead asked, out of obligation, on the sidewalk.

“Yeah,” said Serena, doing her best impression of enthusiasm. The kiss was fine, pleasant even. But there was no passion, nothing like Abbie. Shit, Serena thought.

“It was nice to meet you, Serena,” said her date, flagging down a cab. She didn’t give her her number.

---

“What did you think of Kristina?” Tracey asked her over lunch.

“She was nice,” said Serena.

Tracey snorted. “That’s a ringing endorsement.”

“She’s 23, Tracey,” she said.

“Who cares,” was her reply.

“I guess,” Serena said, and took a spoonful of soup. “She was fine.” Serena took a second to decide whether or not to mention Abbie’s appearance. “Abbie showed up at the bar.”

“Oof,” Tracey said.

“It didn’t help things.”

“What did she do?”

“Just stared at me until her friends made her stop,” Serena said.

“I see,” said Tracey knowingly. “She’s still into you.”

“I don’t think so, Tracey,” Serena said. “She was pretty clear.”

Tracey furrowed her brow. “Maybe she just got spooked.”

“Maybe,” Serena said. She felt a little glimmer of hope in her chest.

---

“Hello, Serena,” said Jack to her after a mandatory all-office meeting. It was early in the morning, before anything started happening at the courthouse. Everyone walked sluggishly and yawned. At least there was free coffee and bagels. Jack held a blueberry one. “How are things?”

“Things are fine, thanks,” Serena said cautiously. She had no idea how much he knew, if anything. “Our caseload’s a little heavy, but when isn’t it?”

“True,” said Jack. “Anything going on otherwise?” Abbie must’ve told him a lot. How interesting, she thought, that Abbie would come out to Jack.

“Not really,” Serena said. She didn’t need Jack to know how she was doing. Was he collecting reconnaissance for Abbie?

“Well that can always change,” Jack said, and took a bite of his bagel.

“Guess so,” said Serena. What a strange man.

---

Serena heard laughter coming from inside her apartment, two distinct voices. She jingled her keys loudly before opening the door, but still walked in to find Olivia over Alex on the couch, the two of them nauseatingly happy, kissing. Serena tried her best to feel nothing but good for them but she couldn’t help some jealous sadness.

“Hi guys,” said Serena.

“Hi,” said Olivia, only turning towards Serena for a second.

“Hey, Ser,” said Alex.

“Hello?” Serena questioned. “Get a room?”

“Oh, right,” said Olivia, shaking her head out of its entrancement. She hopped off Alex’s lap and took her hand, pulling her off the couch. Serena shook her head. She took off her coat and shoes, changed into comfy clothes, and poured herself a glass of wine. She heated up some frozen dumplings and settled in with her book.

---

They’d been stealing glances at each other all night.

Serena was determined not to stay away from Penelope’s despite the risks. It was her place, and she wasn’t giving that up. The problem was, neither was Abbie.

Alex was out with Olivia. There was no sign of Elle or Lisa. Serena was socializing with some women she knew from various places, loose acquaintances of hers who had no stake in her love life.

Serena ordered another drink. She was feeling it, not too much, but enough to have her seriously thinking about doing something entirely unadvisable.

“Vodka soda,” the bartender said, handing it to her. Serena pulled out her card. “She says it’s on her.” She pointed to Abbie, standing at the other end of the bar. She looked good. She wore a tight v-neck long sleeve and a pair of jeans that exposed the skin at her hips. She waved.

Serena walked over to her. “Rather bold, don’t you think?” she said.

“What can I say?” Abbie said, surprisingly confidently.

“Absolutely nothing,” Serena demanded. She took Abbie’s drink out of her hand and kissed her, hard.

---

“Serena,” Abbie said, pulling away from a kiss.

“Nuh-uh,” Serena said. “No talking.” She backed her up until her knees hit the bed. Serena took her hands and slid them back, making Abbie’s back hit the covers. She crawled over her. She drew out, with pride, a hiss and a moan from her lips when she bit the soft skin of her neck.

“Look, I’m-- fuck--” Abbie said as Serena slipped her thigh between her legs.

“Did you hear me?” Said Serena impatiently.

“Yes, but I wanted to--”

“I’ll stop,” Serena warned, whispering next to her ear. Abbie shivered. “Do you want me to stop?”

“No, I-- fuck, please don’t,” Abbie said as Serena’s hand met her breast over her shirt.

“Then shut up,” Serena said. Abbie nodded obediently. “Good,” Serena said.

full name: shiloh prava sharma

nicknames: shi, lolo

age: 29

star sign: virgo (september 21st)

hometown: albany, new york

occupation: front desk at seascape hotel

pronouns/gender: she/her, cis female

time in town: 2 years

@aurorabayaesthetic

quick facts

(tw - bio has brief mentions of homophobia and parental disownment)

shiloh is the firstborn of six children -- three sisters and two brothers -- born to indian immigrants who settled in albany, new york to start their family. her mother was a preschool teacher and her father worked as a sanitation driver. they were both invested in the american dream and were devouted to their hindu faith -- which shiloh also grew up devoted to.

around the age of sixteen, shiloh's family relocated to new york city in favor of her parents not only seeking better job opportunities, but also wanting to be closer to a more diverse community of indian people.

it was also around this age that shiloh began to question her sexuality. she didn't act on it or say anything, but certain events in her life and her feelings regarding them led her to believe that she was not one hundred percent straight. instead of facing that, she internalized it and focused on her grades instead -- earning a scholarship to cornell.

when she was in college, far enough from home that no one knew her, shiloh began to experiment with her sexuality -- having relationships and experiences with women in the freedom of starting her own life.

after her graduation, she got a job at one of the hotels owned by the banner family. she eventually worked her way up to a concierge position and was renowned for being detail-oriented and cool under pressure.

that 'cool under pressure' was more of an issue when her parents began to line up suitors for an arranged marriage -- traditional in their faith -- leading shiloh to have a meltdown over a family dinner and confessing that she liked girls.

her parents promptly iced her out afterward. wanting to escape from the pain of being disowned by her family shiloh decided to made the drastic change to get her job transfered to the seascape hotel where she hopes to gain the management position someday.

fun facts

shiloh has an impeccably decorated apartment -- she frequently sees ideas on tiktok and thinks 'i can do that' and then has tunnel vision until she can accomplish it

has a black french bulldog named 'devito' that she adopted upon moving to aurora bay

big fan of red wine

local mom friend (she misses her siblings, so she tends to project)

theeeee person to have on your bar trivia team

gets around town via bike because she never learned to drive

trying her hand at pickball

usually has her sundays saved for dateline marathons

connections

shiloh is a brand new muse to me so i'm pretty open to anything that might work within her personality and timeline!

friendly.

co-workers / neighbors / pseudo-siblings / friends / drunk friends / new friends / brunch friends / bar trivia team / clubbing friends

romantic

flirtationship / friends with benefits / one time hook ups / tinder matches / exes / exes on good terms / potential ex from her college days (would need heavy plotting)

Pros: Known for its location in Las Vegas, the hospitality capital. Strong industry ties and job opportunities.

Cons: Las Vegas may be a limiting factor for those not interested in a casino-based career path.

Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) - Switzerland

Pros: Consistently ranked as one of the top hospitality schools in Europe. International exposure and strong ties to luxury and high-end hospitality brands.

Cons: High cost of living in Switzerland and language barriers for non-French speakers.

Les Roches Global Hospitality Education - Switzerland and Spain

Florida International University (FIU) - Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management

Key Factors to Consider:

Location and Industry Connections: Schools like Cornell and UNLV have strong industry connections, particularly in the U.S., while EHL and Les Roches provide more international exposure.

Tuition and ROI: Some programs are expensive but offer strong alumni networks and placement services, which can justify the cost.

Benarkah Donald Sihombing Pendana Anies di Pilpres 2024? Kini Sang Konglomerat Dijebloskan KPK

Konglomerat Batak Donald Sihombing ditahan KPK. Pengusaha ternama asal Lintong Ni Huta, Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan ini telah berstatus tersangka kasus dugaan korupsi pengadaan lahan Rorotan, Jakarta Utara, di era gubernur DKI Jakarta Anies Baswedan.

TRIBUN-MEDAN.COM - Dua tahun lalu, tepatnya pada Mei 2022, lokasi wisata religi di Danau Toba, Sibea-bea, Kabupaten Samosir, Sumut, sempat heboh di media sosial karena dikunjungi seorang pria tua naik mobil mewah Ferarri.

Dia adalah teman dekat Anies Baswedan, seorang Crazy Rich Batak, yaitu Donald Sihombing. Ia membuat heboh lokasi wisata Sibea-bea ini dengan Ferrarinya.

Donald Sihombing pun tak segan-segan memberikan mobil mewahnya untuk difoto maupun direview para pengunjung.

Salah satunya pengunjung yang melakukan review mobilnya adalah pemilik akun instagram Parsamosir.

Seketika para pengunjung pun heboh dan berusaha mengabadikan mobil mewah tersebut dengan kamera ponselnya.

Sosok Donald Sihombing, Orang Terkaya Urutan ke-14 di Indonesia Tahun 2019.

Donald Sihombing sempat menjadi sorotan karena masuk sebagai orang terkaya ke-14 di Indonesia versi Majalah Forbes tahun 2019.

Forbes menaksir kekayaan Donald Sihombing mencapai 1,4 miliar dolar Amerika Serikat (AS) atau Rp 19,6 triliun.

Setelah lama tak muncul ke permukaan publik, kini, Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) menetapkan Direktur Utama PT Totalindo Eka Persada, Donald Sihombing, sebagai tersangka kasus dugaan korupsi pengadaan tanah di Rorotan, Jakarta Utara.

Lembaga antirasuah pun telah menahan Donald Sihombing pada Rabu (18/9/2024).

Donald Sihombing merupakan pemegang saham terbesar PT Totalindo Eka Persada Tbk (TOPS).

Donald sebenarnya pernah dipecat dari perusahaan itu, lalu dia kembali merintis perusahaan tersebut pada Oktober 1996.

Setahun setelah dipecat dari PT Totalindo Eka Persada, proyek pertama yang digarap yaitu Mal Taman Anggrek milik Grup Mulia.

Proyek ini memiliki konsep superblok terbesar di Asia Tenggara.

Sejak berdiri, perusahaan Donald menggarap banyak proyek di antaranya Hotel Mulia Senayan, Hotel Four Seasons Kuningan, Roxy Square, Kalibata City, Basura City Tower, Podomoro City, dan Grand Indonesia West Mall.

Yang fenomenal ketika Totalindo terlibat dalam pembangunan perumahan murah yang dicanangkan Pemrov DKI Jakarta.

Dugaan Kasus Korupsi yang Menjerat Donald Sihombing

Tidak hanya Donald Sihombing, KPK juga menahan empat tersangka lainnya kasus ini, termasuk dua petinggi PT Totalindo Eka Persada lainnya.

Keempat tersangka lain itu, yakni mantan Direktur Utama Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan; Senior Manager Divisi Usaha atau Direktur Pengembangan Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya, Indra S. Arharrys; Komisaris PT Totalindo Eka Persada, Saut Irianto Rajagukguk; dan Direktur Keuangan PT Totalindo Eka Persada, Eko Wardoyo.

Direktur Penyidikan KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu mengatakan, kelima tersangka ditahan di Rutan Gedung Merah Putih KPK untuk 20 hari pertama.

"KPK selanjutnya melakukan penahanan kepada para tersangka untuk 20 hari pertama, terhitung sejak tanggal 18 September 2024 sampai dengan 7 Oktober 2024. Penahanan dilakukan di Rutan Cabang Gedung KPK Merah Putih," kata Asep dalam jumpa pers di Gedung Merah Putih KPK, Jakarta Selatan.

Asep memaparkan, PT Totalindo Eka Persada merupakan salah satu perusahaan yang menawarkan tanah kepada Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya yang salah satu usahanya membeli tanah di Jakarta untuk dijadikan sebagai bank tanah atau land bank.

Lahan seluas total 12,3 hektare di Rorotan dibeli Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya dari PT Totalindo Eka Persada senilai Rp 371,5 miliar pada 2019 lalu.

Padahal, tanah itu sebelumnya dibeli PT Totalindo dari PT Nusa Kirana Real Estate atau PT NKRE dengan nilai yang jauh lebih murah.

Lahan seluas sekitar 11,7 hektare dibeli PT Totalindo Eka Persada dari PT NKRE seharga Rp 950.000 per meter persegi yang diperhitungkan sebagai pembayaran utang PT NKRE kepada PT Totalindo Eka Persada dengan nilai transaksi total Rp 117 miliar.

Akibatnya, negara dirugikan sekira Rp 223,8 miliar akibat penyimpangan dalam proses investasi dan pengadaan tanah Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya pada 2019–2021.

"Nilai kerugian negara atau daerah tersebut berasal dari nilai pembayaran bersih yang diterima PT Totalindo Eka Persada dari Perumda Pembangunan Sarana Jaya sebesar Rp 371,5 miliar dikurangi harga transaksi riil PT Totalindo Eka Persada dengan pemilik tanah awal, PT Nusa Kirana Real Estate setelah memperhitungkan biaya terkait lainnya seperti pajak, BPHTB dan biaya notaris sebesar total Rp147,7 miliar," kata Asep.

Tak hanya mark up harga, Asep menyatakan, pengadaan tanah di Rorotan itu dilakukan dengan berbagai penyimpangan.

Beberapa di antaranya, Yoory mengarahkan untuk tidak perlu menunjuk kantor jasa penilai publik (KJPP) independen untuk menilai harga tanah.

Selain itu, PPSJ juga belum melakukan kajian internal terkait penawaran KSO dari PT Totalindo Eka Persada.

Tak hanya itu, pihak Totalindo Eka Persada juga mengetahui enam SHGB tanah Rorotan masih atas nama PT NKRE dan belum ada peralihan hak kepemilikan atas tanah dari PT NKRE ke PT Totalindo.

Berbagai penyimpangan dalam proses pengadaan lahan di Rorotan itu diduga lantaran Yoory menerima fasilitas dari PT Totalindo Eka Persada.

Yoory diduga menerima valas dalam dolar Singapura senilai Rp3 miliar dari PT Totalindo Eka Persada.

Selain itu, Yoory diduga mendapatkan fasilitas atau kemudahan dalam penjualan aset milik pribadi yang segera dibeli oleh pegawai PT Totalindo Eka Persada.

"Pembelian aset Saudara YCP berupa satu rumah dan satu unit apartemen oleh pegawai PT TEP tersebut atas instruksi Saudara EKW dan sumber dananya berasal dari kas perusahaan dalam bentuk pinjaman lunak kepada pegawai yang membeli aset tersebut," sebut Asep.

Adapun pengerjaan proyek ini di era pemerintahan Anies Baswedan sebagai Gubernur DKI Jakarta.

Diketahui, Donald Sihombing punya hubungan dekat dengan Anies Baswedan. Bahkan, saat Pilpres 2024 lalu, Donald Sihombing diisukan sebagai salah satu pendananya di belakang layar, namun hal ini belum terkonfirmasi kebenarannya.

Atas dugaan tindak pidana tersebut, Yoory Corneles Pinontoan, Donald Sihombing, Saut Irianto Rajagukguk, Indra S. Arharrys, dan Eko Wardoyo dijerat dengan Pasal 2 ayat (1) atau Pasal 3 Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 sebagaimana diubah dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi juncto Pasal 55 ayat (1) ke-1 KUHP.

FAKTA-FAKTA DONALD SIHOMBING

Donald Sihombing lahir dan tumbuh di Kota Medan, Sumatera Utara, 23 Juli 1956.

Donald Sihombing asal Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan.

Donald Sihombing diketahui sempat menjadi orang terkaya ke-14 di Indonesia versi Majalah Forbes tahun 2019.

Forbes menaksir kekayaan Donald mencapai 1,4 miliar dolar Amerika Serikat (AS) atau Rp 19,6 triliun.

Ia merupakan pemegang saham terbesar PT Totalindo Eka Persada Tbk (TOPS).

Donald Sihombing sebenarnya pernah dipecat dari perusahaan itu.

Namun, ia kembali merintis perusahaan tersebut pada Oktober 1996.

Setahun setelah dipecat dari PT Totalindo Eka Persada, proyek pertama yang digarap yaitu Mal Taman Anggrek milik Grup Mulia.

Proyek ini memiliki konsep superblok terbesar di Asia Tenggara.

Perusahaan juga mengerjakan proyek perluasan Plaza Indonesia hingga proyek di Abu Dhabi, Uni Emirat Arab, yaitu City of Light All-Reem.

Yang menjeratnya ketika Totalindo terlibat dalam pembangunan perumahan murah yang dicanangkan Pemrov DKI Jakarta.

Donald Sihombing merupakan pemegang saham terbesar PT Total Bangun Persada Tbk (TOPS). PT Total Bangun Persada merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bidang konstruksi.

Perusahaan ini telah mengerjakan proyek seperti Taman Anggrek, perluasan Plaza Indonesia hingga proyek di Abu Dhabi, Uni Emirat Arab, yaitu City of Light All-Reem.

Dikutip dari SWA, relasi antara Donald Sihombing dan Djoko terjalin semasa Donald Sihombing berkarier di Total. Ia bekerja di perusahaan konstruksi itu tahun 1990-95.

Nah, selama bekerja di Total, ia pernah menangani sejumlah proyek pembangunan properti milik Grup Mulia, di antaranya Wisma GKBI di Jakarta dan Menara BRI di Surabaya, Jawa Timur.

Donald Sihombing tidak memiliki trah pengusaha atau mewarisi bisnis keluarga.

Ayahnya berprofesi sebagai pegawai negeri sipil dan ibunya adalah wanita rumah tangga. Jadi dipastikan profesi yang dijalani adalah hasil rintisan pribadinya.

Ketika berusia 9 tahun, ia hijrah ke Jakarta. Ia bersekolah di SD-SMA di Ibu Kota. Selulus SMA, ia kuliah di Jurusan Ilmu Politik Columbia University, AS.

Kuliahnya ini berhenti di tengah jalan karena ia pindah haluan ke Ilmu Teknik Sipil di University of Akron Ohio, AS. Gelar sarjana digenggamnya pada 1984.

Ia merintis karier di berbagai perusahaan, yakni Shimizu Contractors (1985-86), Balfour Beatty Sakti (1986-90), dan Total (1990-95).

Saat ini, Donald Sihombing mengatakan, Totalindo berada di jajaran elite perusahaan konstruksi swasta yang mampu menyelesaikan proyek konstruksi yang nilai proyeknya triliunan rupiah.

"Bisnis Totalindo berkembang karena owner properti sudah mengenal reputasi kami sehingga mereka sering repeat order (kontrak ulang). Kami dipercaya dan hasilnya memuaskan owner properti," kata Wakil Ketua Dewan Pertimbangan di Gabungan Pelaksana Konstruksi Nasional Indonesia (Gapensi) ini.

Saat merayakan ulang tahunnya di kampung halaman di Lintong Ni Huta, Kabupaten Humbang Hasundutan, Donald Sihombing bercerita tentang rahasia suksesnya.

"Pak Donald, bagaimana caranya agar sukses seperti bapak? Saya menjawab, semua dapat sukses apabila ada kemauan bekerja keras dan tekun berdoa kepada Tuhan."

"Saya bekerja dengan waktu 20 jam sehari. Dari 20 jam, saya meluangkan waktu berdoa kepada Tuhan dengan waktu 8 jam satu hari, pagi, siang sore dan malam saya bagi waktu berdoa dalam waktu 8 jam, dan bahkan saya belum dapat menandai ayat Alkitab apabila belum dapat saya pahami dan hayati apa isi ayat yang tertulis," bebernya.

"Jadi rahasia kesuksesan saya juga adalah sifat saling berbagi, tidak ada hari saya kalau tidak membantu orang susah tiap harinya."

"Sebab sifat saya saling berbagi,sebab masa kesusahan telah saya jalani,dan semua itu kembali pada kepercayaan pada diri kita terutama kepada Tuhan. Berbahagialah orang yang murah hatinya, karena dia akan mendapat kemurahan dari Tuhan."

"Itulah kata Tuhan yang saya jalankan, sebab apabila ada seseorang menyampaikan beban pikirannya kepada saya, dan itu sudah saya anggap menjadi beban saya, dan itulah prinsip hidup saya melalui kata Tuhan," ujarnya.

A BRIDGE TOO NOIR

This past weekend Your Humble Narrator made his way west to attend the 25th annual Arthur Lyons Film Noir Festival at the Camelot Theatre in Palm Springs, California.

As in past years, the fest offered a slate of black-and-white crime films from the '40s and '50s. Also as in past years, some of them inevitably strained the definition of noir; this year's schedule included a Sherlock Holmes movie, 1944's The Scarlet Claw, and a Western, Day of the Outlaw (1959). But so what? The definition of noir as a genre is nebulous anyway. The point is that the chance to see cool old flicks like these on a movie screen doesn't come along every day. For sheer entertainment, this may be the most reliably enjoyable film festival in the country.

Also on the schedule were such familiar entries as the John Garfield boxing drama Body and Soul (1947), Anthony Mann's outstanding and still relevant 1949 immigration thriller Border Incident, with George Murphy and Ricardo Montalban, and the hard-boiled thrillers Dead Reckoning (1947) and The Enforcer (1951), both starring noir king Humphrey Bogart. But some of us are most likely to be drawn to the relative obscurities.

This year, for instance, brought the opportunity to see No Man of Her Own (1950). In his onstage introduction to the film at the Camelot, TCM Noir Alley host Eddie Muller repeatedly referred to star Barbara Stanwyck as "the greatest actress in movie history." I'd certainly put her in the top five, anyway, and she's in fine, intense form in this adaptation of the classic Cornell Woolrich novel I Married a Dead Man (originally published under his pseudonym, William Irish).

She plays the heck out of a down-on-her-luck pregnant woman who, through circumstances generously described as coincidental, is able to pass herself off as the new daughter-in-law of a wealthy couple whose son has just died. Despite the obvious absurdities of the plot, the film is engrossing and even moving because of Stanwyck's impassioned star performance, and a fine supporting cast including John Lund, Jane Cowl, Phyllis Thaxter, Richard Denning, Milburn Stone, Carole Matthews as no-nonsense femme fatale and Lyle Bettger in a despicable turn as Stanwyck's sneering blackmailer.

The movie also had, for me, a madeleine of Proustian remembrance: Though I hadn't thought about it in years, the scene in which Stanwyck and Thaxter are upended in a train crash came back to me from childhood with the vividness of an acid flashback. I don't think I saw any of the rest of it back then, but that tidbit had been waiting in the memory banks to be revived for at least half a century.

Other gems this year included Escape in the Fog (1945), with the adorable young Nina Foch dodging Axis spies in San Francisco, and the compelling Southern thriller Woman in Hiding, from 1950.

The woman in question is Ida Lupino, who realizes she's made a major mistake marrying creepy Stephen McNally before the honeymoon even starts. Lupino's delicate beauty contrasts with her gutsy, heartfelt spirit, and director Michael Gordon manages a Hitchcock-worthy sequence set in the stairwell of a hotel. The cast includes, along with Lupino's real-life husband Howard Duff, a bit role by Joe Besser, a later-vintage replacement member of the Three Stooges.

But maybe the real oddity of the schedule was Across the Bridge (1957), a British feature based on a Graham Greene short story and starring a mannered and sweaty Rod Steiger--with a German accent, no less!--as a short-fused white-collar criminal dodging extradition in a Mexican border town. On his way south he's thrown another man, who he resembles, off the train and stolen his passport, but he ends up with this guy's soulful-faced spaniel, Delores, dogging his footsteps (sorry) and gazing reproachfully up at him.

Directed by Ken Annakin, Across the Bridge was shown in Palm Springs in a fairly crappy digital copy, but the presenter assured us that they're working to get it properly restored. I hope they succeed. It's just about the most Graham Greene-ish thing ever, full of moral limbo south of the border and Mexican women wearing prominent crucifixes. And of course it's via "Delores" (suffering) that Steiger's rotten fugitive finds a fateful sort of redemption. In terms of performance, by the way, even full-tilt Stieger is no match for the beautiful Delores, who steals the movie like a dropped potato chip.

Woong Hee Lee: CEO and Founder of H2O Hospitality

The world is full of adventures and surprises, people are curious to explore it. With the high number of tourist places, South Korea has enhanced the way in hospitality. Though tourism is not a new thing, due to the increased interest of people it has become prominent.

The travel and hospitality industry also has a vital role in contributing to the country’s economy. It also has created job opportunities, along with culture which allows foreign exchange. South Korea and Japan are well-maintained in providing hospitality through their kind gestures. According to the World Economy Forum in 2021 report Korea is in 15th position in the travel and tourism development sector and attains a score of 4.8. Here let us discuss the famous and inspiring businessman of South Korea, Woong John Lee who is a pioneer of H2O hospitality.

Brief account of Woong Hee (John) Lee

John Lee by birth is a Korean-Canadian who was born in Vancouver, Columbia. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Cornel University in the stream of Hotel Management/Administration with the duration from 2007 to 2011. When his a keen interest in hospitality and entrepreneurship he wanted to solve social problems. He started his career as an intern at Macquarie Group in the year 2010. Later he worked as an associate at Morgan Stanley and then in the year of 2014 he was promoted as Vice president at GOGOX.

Woong Hee Lee with his vast work experience decided to start his journey as an entrepreneur in the year 2015 and founded H2O Hospitality Ltd., and continues to work as a CEO. Along with his interest in hospitality, he also thought that technology would be used to achieve his goal and would bring a transformation in the hospitality sector.

Initially started with the business in South Korea and later on encountering the increase in tourist people in Japan he expanded his business in 2018. He took the cleaning company in Japan and made it into an accommodation property. John Lee found it challenging to convince the hotel owners as they were not ready to change the system. The next challenge of accommodating guests was not that difficult as people we looking for the same.

The major difference between H2O Hospitality from other hotels is technology integration with management. With his new way of reshaping the business now H2O is managing around 40,000 units including hotels, vacation rentals, resorts, villas, and apartments. It has expanded its business to 30 different cities in Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and Korea.

H2O Hospitality

H2O Hospitality is the leading no1 Asia’s technology-based hospitality operation company, it is a hotel management business that provides digital transformation to hotels with their H2O Flow management. It is not the process that they change the facility but they just help you to provide differentiated service through their enhanced way of managing and operating.

They follow the flow in 3 different steps i.e., connect, maximize, and transform. Connecting with the operation has been made easy as one can make use of options like H2O CRS, RMS, and FMS. To maximize they do have options of H2O Smart D2C, AI-based CRM, and transform space. It is more cost-effective than traditional lodging management as it does not entertain the desk at the entrance. The customer can avail any facilities and query just through chat and hence reduce in large need for manpower. All these technology-based facilities are inserted in the cleaning process and checkout as well which makes it quicker and easier.

The mission of H2O hospitality is to connect all the operations of lodging and resort management tasks like reservation, check-in, check-outs, etc at a single tap with the integration of technology. Their vision is to provide an advanced user experience through digital transformation and will also help the leisure industry to focus on facilities and target customers.

Conclusion

Woong Hee (John) Lee was one of the entrepreneurs who was listed in Forbes 30 under 30 for his success and achievements from home cleaning services to managing hotels through the integration of technology. He made access to services quicker and easier for guests by making it automated. This also helped in increased business to holes and lodges as the operations through technology were more effective.
