IT was daytime during the 1973 holiday season at Palembang's Pendopo complex. Hatta Rajasa, son of a local subdistrict head, had returned home, taking a break from his studies at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). Young Hatta took his girlfriend, Oktiniwati Ulfa Dariahto, out to dinner. Oh no! The money he had with him was not enough to pay for their meal. "Ha ha ha, I also had to pay," recalled Okke, as she is known to her friends, when chatting with Tempo recently.
Oktiniwati is the eldest of five siblings. Her father worked for foreign oil company Stanvac, while her mother was a teacher. She lived well from an early age.
