The first Indonesian proclaimer and President was known to have nine wives and often conquered the hearts of women in their youth. Not a few of the girlfriend of Bung Karno who is a Dutch woman in his time you know!
Through the book Bung Karno Masa Muda, Sukarno's older brother Wardoyo tells the story of his brother's behavior. This book was published by the Jakarta Intercity Foundation Library in 1978.
"According to his own confession (Soekarno), the first Dutch girl she had married was Rika Meelhuysen, who was kissed by Soekarno when she was 14 years old," writes Wardoyo in Bung Karno Masa Muda.
Soekarno's motive of approaching Rika at that time was for him to be considered to have the same class as the Dutch youth. But what is the power of Bung Karno precisely infatuated with Rika as a love monkey. Starting from Rika and the blessing of the father, Raden Sukemi to dating noni Dutch, Bung Karno increasingly become.
Countless number of Dutch girls who became her lover. Moreover, the father supports Soekarno's Dutch language skills. Call it Paulina Gobee, Laura, daughter of the Raat family, and Mien Hessels. Mien Hessels is the most coveted Soekarno at the age of 18 years.

But Indonesia's number one man in the Old Order era pangling the figure of women in front of him. "I'm Mie Hessels," he said. Of course Sukarno was surprised to make a funny reaction.
"My beautiful queen like the angel has turned into a magic woman and I quickly greet her and keep walking while giving thanks to God Almighty for protecting me The blow which her father had brought before me was actually a blessing that was veiled to me. thank God for the protection of God, "said Wardoyo in a book about the romance of the younger brother.
