The String of Destiny

The String of Destiny
Beginning of Story


Evening has arrived, a car has arrived in front of a luxury house located in the Beautiful Flower Housing Area. A young man opened the windshield and looked ahead. He was amazed, looking at the house he was going to occupy.



The front yard of the house is quite spacious, the fence and walls look luxurious and comfortable to live in. Not long after, a freight car arrived. The gate of the house began to open, two cars slowly entered the courtyard of the house.


They all got out of the car one by one. The young man and his father went into the house. In the living room, he saw things so neatly arranged.


When he saw a room, he remembered the memories with Grandma. In the past, when he was a child he was always read a picture book to sleep. But he also knew that all memories remained.


Satisfied looking around, the young man whose full name is Alexander Wirawan and his father came out of the house. Her father, Erwin, had officers move house to bring Alex's personal belongings.


They both came out of the house and two people had cleaned the house across carrying Alex's personal belongings. Alex smiled at the sight of his guitar being carefully carried away. After that, two people carrying goods also paid off.


"Then, we're both saying goodbye" said a man wearing a capsized hat and wearing a black leggings shirt.


"Thank you, send greetings to Mr. Lurah," replied Erwin is none other than Alex's father.


"Ready sir!"


Not long after, a motor car arrived. On top of the car, there is a black Kawasaki W800 motorbike.



 Alexander was moved to tears. Erwin smiled as he patted his son's shoulder.


"Why are you crying?" ask The Father.


Alexander wiped his tears and said, "Alex doesn't feel like he deserves any of this, Dad."


"Don't say that Alex, you're Dad's son. It is only natural for a father to give his best for his son. I just want you to enjoy your youth happily. You have to prove, that your existence in this can achieve success. Don't want to lose to your brother who is studying at the University."


Alexander smiled and said, "Okay Dad."


The father patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Have your tears wiped away, let's try your new bike!"


Alex wiped his tears, he was so happy to see his new bike. One by one, they both rode the bike. The father sat in the back, while Alex sat in the front seat.


He started riding his motorbike slowly around the Beautiful Flower Residential Area.


The cool breeze started to blow, Father and son looked very enjoy the trip around the Beautiful Flower Residential Area with a new motor. Moreover, the motor has complete letters and license plates including SIM (Driving Permit Letter).


"Daddy did not expect, how to carry your bike is very good. I'm sure, at the beginning of your year of school you can lure a girl," praised the Father to his second son.


"No dad. A kid like Alex, who can have a girlfriend. Academic grades are substandard, even Alex's friends don't have."


"Don't lower yourself, Alex. Who knows, you met your soul mate and immediately married at that time. After all, what is Academic value for as long as there is money and insiders? Ahaha!"


"Dad could have, but if it were true it would have happened. Girlfriend may. But married Alex is not ready, because the money is still asking for the same father. After all, love is not always beautiful" she replied to the Father.


"You're right Alex, I'm proud of your mindset. But Father's message, you should enjoy your youth. Don't be so naive and don't push yourself, son. You understand what Dad means?"


"Yes, Dad."


"Good then. Oh yes, you wait here," he said, then moved from the seat to the car.


The car door opened, he picked up a brown map and a small book on the car seat. He walked up to Alex and sat right next to him.


"Alex, it's a land letter as well as home ownership. And here, your little book is on the study table," she gave it to Alex.


"Thank you dad," Alex responded to his father's gift.


"By the way, what book is that?" ask the Father in a black book.



"Oh, this is a guidebook."


"Guide book?" ask The Father.


"This book contains a summary on the internet, about the way to socialize with the community. Alex deliberately wrote it, so that Alex could blend in and not be considered strange and avoid bullying" replied Alex.


"Haha! You don't need a book like that. You just go and follow the current. It's time for Dad to come home, you're passionate about learning and always remember your family back home. I believe you can be more successful than your brother in your own way."


"Definitely Dad! Alex will never disappoint you!" alex's reply moved Father.


The father, gave me an envelope with five million dollars. After that, he told his son to go back home. When Father stepped into the car, Alex's heart felt heavy. It seems, he is not willing if it should be left far away by the Father. Moreover, there was no one accompanying him.


The gate began to open, the black Avanza driven by the Father flashed out. He saw the smile of the Father's trust for the last time. Instantly his body felt like it was interested, when the car started to drive away from the house. Unknowingly, he stepped up to follow the car until it was invisible.


After that, he walked back while feeling the loss and loneliness so deep. Even so, Alex is trying to toughen up and adapt to be better, even though he is not sure himself.
