The String of Destiny

The String of Destiny
The Father's first visit


Alexander began to tell about the search for his interest in following Ekskul. He had approached every Exkul, but because he was too nervous and bad luck he experienced made Alexander not find his bright spot. As he walked down the school hallway, he saw the door of the music hall open.


He walked into the music room. Later, he began playing two guitars that had been available at once. Alexander played it, he enjoyed it too.


A few days later, Alexander returned to the music room. This time, he brought his friends. They saw Alexander playing the guitar.


Unexpectedly, Kak Tigor is a member of OSIS as well as the Chairman of Extracurricular see it all. He gives two options, first out or join the Exckul Band. Because it has already been, inevitably they join the Exkul Band.


"According to Dad, actually you did not join because you had to. Joined because of destiny. Maybe the gods have shown you the way. Who knows in the future, your band and your friends will become famous" Erwin told his second son.


"Amin," reply briefly.


"Keep, what's your band's name?"


Alexander smiled then replied, "Single Band."


"Any name, I love it. I want to see your band perform" Praise The Father makes Alexander very happy.


Alexander started eating a piece of meat. While chewing he said, "Thank you, Dad. The plan is, our band's gonna be in the race."


"When? Where's where?!" ask the Father so enthusiastically.


Alexander drank his favorite Orange Juice and replied, "April 30 in the City of Flowers. Location and full information, Alex forgot."


Erwin immediately grabbed his cellphone in his pocket. He immediately included April 30 as his main agenda.


For him, it was rare to see the appearance of his second son. So enthusiastic Father, notification of messages at work he ignored.


Alexander was astonished and asked, "What is it, Dad? Work call?"


"No, Dad wrote the agenda for April 30th. I promise you, I will definitely watch your concert. I'll tell your Mother and Brother" he answered with pride.


He remembered memories from childhood. During Kindergarten, Alexander walked alone to his school. No family members accompanied.


Sometimes, she is accompanied by a forty-year-old maid named Mirna. At that time, she won the first place in the singing competition. Unfortunately, none of his family members were present.


His mother would rather hang out with her friend than see him holding a trophy. His father was too busy with his work.


It was very different when his brother won the Math and English competition. They were all present watching his brother receive trophies and awards. His father and mother continued to attend whenever his sister calmed down a certain race or event.


They continued to support, accompany and fulfill what her brother wanted. While Alexander, when wanting something Mother always refused and full of consideration.


Given that, he preferred to finish his meal feeling disappointed. The father saw the son's reaction to the two, making himself very guilty.


Erwin, looking at his son, said, "This time, I promise you will come" he said in his heart.


After eating, Alexander was brought home by his father. On the way, Alexander was silent looking at the road behind the car glass.


The sun began to set, all the lights of the house and the road began to light up. Erwin looked at the watch he was wearing.


Apparently, the time has already shown at six in the afternoon. After dropping off Alex, the plan was to go straight back to the villa. However, seeing the distance to the Hotel where he lived in the city next door made him plan to stay at Alex's House.


"Alex, the plan is to take you home and I want to go back to the hotel. Unfortunately, the day is getting dark and all employees of the company have gone home. Can I stay overnight?"


Alexander turned to his father and replied, "May. You don't have to ask permission, whenever you can."


Erwin smiled and said, "Thank you, Alex. I'm so curious, how is the atmosphere of your grandmother's house after it's occupied by you."


Both of her eyes opened wide, she was shocked as soon as she remembered Tiara staying at home with her. His heart was pounding, he was sweating coldly until he reached his home.


Arriving at Erwin's house, his second son Alexander and Anton are a private driver descending in front of the gate. Alexander began to open the gate of his house and the car driven by the driver into the yard of the house.


When Erwin was about to hold the doorknob Alexander held his hand. Then Alex said, "Don't come in, Dad."


"Why? Why can't you come in?"


"Alex's house is a mess, Alex wants to clean up for a while."


Hurriedly, Alexander opened the door and went straight inside the house. Unbeknownst to his father, Alexander locked the door slowly.


"Wait a minute, Dad. Alex wants to clean the house first!"


Inevitably, Erwin and his personal driver waited on the front porch. Meanwhile, a few minutes earlier after locking the door Alexander went towards the backyard of the house. He remembered Tiara's clothes and underwear.


How surprised Alex was, seeing Tiara already in the backyard. They looked at each other and were both shocked.


Tiara stroking her chest said, "Honey! Just be surprised!"


"Sama, I'm surprised to know. I thought you were a ghost!"


Tiara became very sullen, she recalled the moment Alexander left her alone in the park due to a misunderstanding. Then he said, "So you will stay with me in the garden?"


Alexander laughed and said, "No dear. You're funny too if you're pouting again," he said, playing his girlfriend's cheek.


Tiara took off Alex's hands and rubbed her cheeks and asked, "Udah, huh! By the way, where's Dad?"


Alexander pointed back with his thumb as he said, "My father and the driver are on the front porch."


"Then we have to hurry. I'm afraid that your father will know where I am here!"


"You're right!"


Hurriedly, the two of them tidy up and secure Tiara's belongings from being noticed by Alex's father in a hurry. At the same time, Erwin and his driver sat on the front porch. The two of them heard a loud noise inside the house.


"Somewhere, even though the house is a mess I am not angry," said Erwin.


"I'm sorry, sir, maybe Young Master would like to give a surprise and best service to you. Moreover, Master rarely visits the Young Master's house," said his personal driver.


Erwin smiled and said, "Maybe you're right, Anton. Since his move here, my second son has really grown."


His smile faded when he heard the voice of the girl in the house. He peeked through the window. Unfortunately, the house curtains blocked the view so Erwin could not see the sound inside from the outside.


"Anton, did you hear the girl's voice inside the house?" tanya Erwin tried to peek.


"Yes, I heard it too Sir," he replied peeking out of curiosity.


They were both shrouded in curiosity. Then, the two of them stood up from their seats. The plan, they both wanted to enter the house from the back door.


They did not walk, the door of the house began to open. They saw, the uniform worn by Alex was dirty and wet with sweat.


Alexander breathlessly said, "Please enter."


On the table, there were three large glasses of milk. They all sat down and Alexander invited his Father and Personal Driver to drink.


A mouthful of milk went into both of them. Erwin's eyes and the driver were wide open.


The freshness of cow's milk, mixed with honey and the cool temperature created a sensation they had never felt before. Dozens of milks once they felt nothing with the milk they had been drinking.


"Just the first time, Dad drank this wisdom milk. Is this imported milk? Where did you buy it?" erwin asked so curiously.


"True Young Master, this milk is very tasty. My throat and body felt fresh" continued the driver praising the milk he had been drinking.


"Alex doesn't know dad, this milk is a friend's gift."


Erwin again drank the milk up to half a glass. While the driver of his privacy, he sat outside to smoke a cigarette.


Satisfied with drinking milk, he put the glass on the table. Alexander looked, His father looking around the house.


"Dad guess, the atmosphere inside your house is like a broken ship. Unexpectedly, as soon as Dad came in the house was so clean. Even in the yard there is no wild grass. You've really changed, I'm proud of you. It's worth your haste to go inside" Erwin said to his son.


Alexander smiled then said, "Thank you, Dad. After all, I rarely come here."


"Indeed it should be, let alone entertain guests. By the way, I heard the voice of the girl in your house," he said, looking at his son with a serious look.


Alexander's heart was racing, as he looked at his father's serious countenance. He was silent as he lowered his gaze. He was very worried, if his father knew that Tiara was staying at home with him.


Erwin looked suspiciously as he said, "Don't, you're hiding something from Dad."
