The String of Destiny
Visit Workshop

Not noticeably, the time has shown at half-five in the afternoon. The atmosphere of the workshop began to quiet, the mechanics one by one returned home.

The entire inside of the machine is clean of sand. But unfortunately, some holes in the combustion chamber and cracks in the piston rod can not be repaired.

Bang Herman looked at Alex. Since then, Alexander was silent to watch his damaged motorbike. He wondered if Alexander had contacted his father or not.

"Alex, did you call Babeh?" ask Bang Herman.

"Already" replied Alex.

"Keep, what does Babeh you say?"

"Plan, I want to come here."

Bang Herman stood up as he said, "Thank God, then Aye went home for a while. Aye's body is sick, willing to rest and keep copying. Tamrin take care of the workshop for a moment."

"Think of myth! Speaking of it for a minute, for hours."

Tiara turned to a juice shop across the street. He stood up and smiled at the three of them.

"Guys, I'm going to buy some juice. You guys wanna take a tuck?"

"May, apple juice please," Wulan replied and gave the money in her pocket.

"Titip too! If I am an avocado," Tamrin continued, giving money from her pants pocket.

Alexander gave the money while saying, "Juice orange."

Tiara went to the Jus Shop across the street. Alexander looked back at his broken motor. Both of his hands clenched, his eyes staring intently at his broken motor.

"This motor is my father's only gift. How come, who's a coward doing this to my bike?!" he said full of anger.

Wulan glanced at Alex and said, "I know who did it."

Sontak Alexander and Tamrin turned to Wulan. They both asked, "Who-who?!"

"Ilham and her two friends."

Instantly, all the flames of anger spread inside Alex. Both of Alex's hands clenched, the face of Ilham and his two friends reflected in his mind.

"It all started, when the Boss bravely pulled Tiara's hand yesterday at the Amusement Park. Ilham felt upset, because his date was disturbed to take revenge on the Boss. Then Ilham groaned to him his friend. Martin advised Ilham to put sand in the oil tank. After the second break, they ditched and took the sand not too far from school. They carried it with plastic and put the sand in the oil tank" Wulan explained.

Alexander clenched his hand and then hit the seat beside him while saying, "Coward, let's just report it to Teacher BK (Bina Counseling)!"

Wulan developed a deep breath and said, "Despite the evidence, Boss? The work they do is neat."

"Then, we'll pay them back tomorrow!" tamrin said with emotion.

Wulan swung her hand forward as she said, "Silence guys, calm down. Control your emotions! It's not time we retaliate."

Alexander emotionally asked, "Certainly, do I have to keep quiet?!"

"Indeed, the deeds of the three of them were extremely outrageous. Moreover, damaged goods are valuable items for us. Please Boss be patient, while waiting for the right moment we should gather their evidence and rot" Wulan said earnestly.

"Gue doesn't know what you're up to, but I'll go along with your plan, Wulan" Alex replies.

Tamrin sat beside Wulan as she said, "The three cowards must not stop here."

"On that matter, leave it to you Tamrin. You just control the boss at school, if anyone interferes with the beat," replied Wulan.

Alexander laughed and said, "Attack? You think I'm your acting son?"

"Bos forgot? The boss is the second son of Mr. Erwin the Entrepreneur and Palm Oil Mater. Getting an escort is common" Wulan replied to Alex.

"Relax the Boss, whoever bullies the Boss let me make crackers!" tamrin told his best friend.

Alexander took a deep breath and said, "Come, just like you!"

The conversation ended when Tiara walked across the street carrying a black plastic bag. After crossing the street, Tiara distributed juice to them one by one. Now there is one plastic cup with orange juice.

"Who is orange juice for?" alexander asked his girlfriend.

Unashamedly Tiara replied, "Make Father-in-Law."

Not long after, a Black Toyota Camry stopped in front of the workshop. The luxurious car, has attracted the attention of the three of them. A stranger got out of the steering wheel and opened the car door right behind him.

A gallant man wearing an ash suit got out of the car. Alexander stood up and approached the man was none other than his father.

"Dad" said Alex, kissing his father's hand.

Erwin immediately held his two children's legs while saying, "You're okay right? Where are the injuries?! Is anyone sick?!" he said it was so panicked.

"Alex is fine Dad."

The father stood up and said, "Thank God, then."

Tiara, Wulan and Tamrin walked over to the two of them. They were standing right behind Alex.

Tiara patted Alex on the back making him look back. Alexander's face blushed in embarrassment when he saw Tiara smiling while moving both of his eyebrows.

"They're your friends?" asked Erwin to his son.

"Yes, Dad," he replied timidly and then he pulled Tiara's hand and held both shoulders with a reddened look he said, "This father, Tiara," he said stammeringly.

Tiara walked over to Alexander's father. Then he said, "Good afternoon, Om." He said and kissed her hand. Then he walked back and approached Alex's earlobe. After that he whispered, "I mean Father-in-Law."

Alexander was getting more and more misbehaved, hearing Tiara's whisper. As for Tiara herself, walking backwards while holding back a laugh seeing her lover misbehaving.

"It's Wulan," said Alex sticking out his hand.

"Oh, Wulan! Have not seen each other for a long time. How's your Papah doing?"

"Om Erwin," Wulan replied and kissed her hand and said, "Good father, Om."

"Last, it's Tamrin" Alex introduced Tamrin to her father in a stammering tone.

"They're three Alex friends" he said shyly in a stammering tone.

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. Thank you for being friends with my son."

Wulan replied, "No need to thank you, Om."

"Yes, Om," Tamrin said.

"How was Alex at school?" asked Erwin to the three of them.

"Well, what a om!" cananda Tiara with a high tone while patting Alex's shoulder made Erwin suspicious.

Erwin laughed and said, "If your tone is like that, Om is suspicious."

"No, Dad! Alex is good at school!" reply

Erwin laughed and said, "Dad believe. Now where's my bike?"

Alexander pointedly replied, "There."

They all walked into the Workshop. Erwin felt thirsty, he turned to his personal driver in the car.

Erwin had not had time to call Tiara also walked over with a Plastic Cup containing Orange Juice.

"Excuse me Om, I'm sorry this is Jus Make Om. It just so happens that I have more, um-liked goods," said Tiara gave the juice to Erwin none other than his father Alex.

Seeing Tiara so boldly, Alexander turned away with a reddened face. He was too embarrassed, seeing Tiara approaching his father.

"Thank you," he replied and received a juice from Tiara.

Wulan and Tamrin approach Alex. They both whispered, "Cie-cie."

"There's something that's looking for attention" Tamrin whispered to Alex.

"Whisper!" reply Alex blushed in embarrassment.

Erwin looked at Alex's motor. He saw a hole in the body of the engine and also a pile of sand mixed with oil in a container. Seeing his father go silent, Alex felt even more guilty.
