God's Destiny

Arini was sitting inside a VIP-class restaurant while staring at her quiet phone. He made a deal with someone.

Yeah, suddenly last night Becca told Arini that she wanted to meet four eyes.

Becca hasn't been here in ten minutes. But Arini still faithfully waiting for the presence of Becca.

Suddenly the door of the room opened, and the figure of Becca appeared there. "Sorry late, Ma'am. Jasmine was a little fussy," Becca said as she walked over to sit in front of Arini.

"It's okay, I just got there too" said Arini.

"Have message?"

"Not yet."

Becca ordered a menu for the two of them. And so shortly the menu they ordered came.

"What are you talking about, Bec?" ask Arini to the point. Looks like there's something serious Becca's gonna talk about.

"Eat first, huh, Ma'am?" becca said full of requests. Becca was very hungry. He had no breakfast this morning, and now it was one in the afternoon.

Arini agreed. They then eat the food that is available. And soon they had finished eating.

"Look, Ma'am..."

Becca did not immediately continue her words, it made Arini a little confused and looked at Becca in surprise.

"What's up, Bec?"

"If one day I'm not around, I'll take Jasmine, yes. I believe Ms. Arini can love Jasmine like a child." Becca spoke with her head down and played with her long nails.

"What did we say, anyway? Where are you going?" Arini touches Becca's arm slowly. "What actually happened? You have the same problem with Leon?" Arini asked carefully and gently.

Becca shakes. He looked at Arini seriously. "Every one of us has to go, right? We are not in this world forever. Sooner or later we'll be gone."

Arini begins to feel something is wrong with Becca. Why is Becca talking like this?

"You don't talk like this anymore, do you?"

Becca looks at Arini in frustration. He was talking seriously but why did Arini even respond like this?

"But Ma'am can promise me, right? Ma'am gonna take care of Jasmine like a child?" Becca looked at Arini with pleas.

Arini felt strange. Becca talks like this as if she'll be gone forever.

Arini nodded with a smile. He placed his hand on Becca's hand on the table. "Yes. You will always love Jasmine like your own child."

Becca smiled happily. "Thank you, Ma'am." He stared at the clock on his wrist. "Back, yuk! I miss Jasmine."

Arini nodded.

Becca goes home first, while Arini can't get out of her seat. Because there was a lot of burden on his mind.

"What happened to Becca? Or maybe... Becca's going to kill herself." Arini immediately smothered her own mouth because it had been mispronounced.

"Cannot be. Becca can't be like that."

Arini then called Retno.

"Hello, Miss Arini."

"Bude I asked for help can?"

"What, Mom?"

"Please keep an eye on Becca, Bude. If there's any strange behavior, report me."

"What's wrong, Mom?"

Arini bit her own lips because she felt like she was talking. "It's okay, Bude. It's just that I think Becca changed."

Just contact Retno's words from across there make Arini more agitated. "Bude can please keep this conversation a secret, right? Don't let Becca know."

"Yes, Mom. Can."

At two o'clock in the morning Leon woke up as his phone rang aloud. He also picked up the phone.

"Hello, Bude. What's up?" leon asked still with his eyes closed from drowsiness.

"Bu Becca has a very high fever. Now I want to take him to the hospital near the house."

Leon was immediately aghast and literate for a moment. "Be careful, Bude. I'll be straight to the hospital."

"Good, sir."

Leon put his phone straight away, he's a nightstand bag. Then he got ready to go to the hospital.

"Who?" asked Arini still with slightly closed eyes.

"Becca's in the hospital. High fever."

"I'm coming along." Arini got up and went to the bathroom to wash her face.

***

Leon and Arini are waiting for the unconscious Becca. While Retno was taking Jasmine for a walk. I don't know why the toddler is so fussy, does not want to be silent. He wants to go for a walk while in the car.

Calina herself is in a job out of town, so she has not been able to visit Becca.

Becca had a high fever for three days and was unconscious. Leon's face was very tangled because several days did not sleep. Leon hasn't worked for three days either. He's focused on waiting for Becca. Arini will be home at night. But last night Arini did not come home, so now he looks sleepy. How not sleepy? He can't sleep here. Plus there is Leon who always stay up late making it stay up too.

"Darling, you go home first. If Becca wakes up, I'll tell you" Leon said, staring at Arini, whose eyes were five watts.

It's eight in the morning.

"I'm just here" Arini refused. Usually in the morning until the afternoon, he will be here.

"You please don't make me stifle." Leon spoke with great frustration. "Becca's sick, you don't get sick. Remember, there is our child in your stomach. Anyway I don't want to know, you have to go home." Leon spoke very strongly.

Because he did not want to make Leon angry, Arini finally wanted to go home. "Yes I'm home. If there's anything about Becca just let me know" Arini said and confirmed by Leon.

***

Arini just finished her afternoon shower. He was going to the hospital to visit Becca. He had rested for hours, and now his body condition was fit again.

Arini checked her phone while sitting in front of the dresser. There were five missed calls from Leon. And two chats are still from Leon.

Leon

Dear.

Becca is no more.

Deg.

Just contact Arini's shoulder immediately slumped. The phone in his hand just fell.

So this is what Becca meant a few days ago?

According to the doctor two days ago, Becca had malaria fever. And Becca doesn't have any other diseases either.

Come to think of it, Becca will definitely recover and will not die. But God's destiny no one knows, right?

After waking up from her shock, Arini immediately rushed towards the hospital. He does not bring his own vehicle, chaotic conditions like this will be critical if he forced to drive. Finally, I decided to book a taxi online.
