The String of Destiny
Charming Round

Alex walks towards GOR in the school environment. He walked under the heat of the sun. Four times, he visited the site of extracurricular activities. Sweat began to pour profusely, but he continued to walk in search of excrement that he might be interested in.

Slowly he walked into the GOR. Suddenly a volleyball hit his face quite hard. He felt pain on his face and he just ran away from the GOR.

"Skips! Skip out!" he said while running.

Two student volleyball players out of GOR. They're both, looking for the famous volleyball guy. However, they only saw two schoolgirls seen running across the GOR.

"Wooh! Where's the student?!" ask a member of the volleyball exkul.

"I don't know, I think he's run away" replied his friend while looking around.

Wulan and Tiara ran in search of Alex, they were very worried to see him running in pain as the ball hit his face. So long searching, they finally found him in a quiet hallway in front of the music room. Not a single student flashed by, the atmosphere around was so quiet.

A cool breeze started to blow, they saw Alexander crying while covering his face with his own two palms. Tiara quickened her pace, she wanted to comfort the injured Alex. Suddenly, Wulan withdrew her hand then Tiara turned her head towards him.

"Don't" said Wulan.

"Why? My husband is hurting, I can't just let him go."

"Let's get caught. Not exciting if we just appear, is not it more exciting if we stalk? All right, you can get to know the other side of Alexander unknown to others," Wulan replied making Tiara speechless.

"You're right Wulan," he told Wulan.

The two of them back to stalk Alex secretly. They had not stepped up yet, someone called the two of them. Suddenly, they both looked back. A mature, brown-skinned student stood behind the two of them. The student was none other than Tigor Fauzi, a former MOS committee serving in room four.

"What are you two doing here?" ask Tigor.

"Sorry brother, we are both looking for a signal" replied Wulan.

"Yes, already. You guys don't stay here for long, even though the school environment is still unsafe or you want a list of music lessons?"

"No, brother," replied the two of them.

"Then I go to the music room first" he said farewell to the two of them.

"Yes, brother."

Tigor walked away leaving them both. Wulan and Tiara realize that Alexander is nowhere to be. Hurriedly, they speed up footsteps while searching for Alex's whereabouts.

Their footsteps stopped, when they heard the sound of a guitar in the music room. Tigor, Wulan and Tiara were curious about the figure playing the guitar. Secretly, they peeked behind the window.

Apparently, the figure playing the guitar is Alex. He's setting the tone on the strings. In addition, he installed a plate as a drum on a guitar. Tigor fell silent, watching what Alexander was doing. Finished setting the tone on the guitar, he placed an acoustic guitar on a special table.

The guitar has twelve strings and two bridges attached to the body of the guitar. For the first time, Wulan and Tiara saw the guitar. Then he picked up a regular brown acoustic guitar.

They wondered how Alexander would play it. Alexander started playing guitar, he started performing a song called sweet child o mine. Acoustic guitar strands, making them all speechless enjoy.

They all did not expect, that Alexander could play two guitars at once with one hand. Tigor looked at everything without blinking, he was amazed at Alex's ability to play the guitar. In addition to strumming the guitar, he also shrewdly patted the guitar like a kendang.

"Luca Stricagnoli's guitar playing style, cool!" puji Wulan looks at the way Alexander plays the guitar.

"You know that too?" ask Tigor.

"Who is Luca Stricagnoli?" tiara asked the two of them.

"Luca Stricagnoli is a famous guitarist able to play two guitars at once. It's millions of people, watching his YouTube channel," replied Wulan.

"Wow, my husband is so cool" he murmured in praise of Alex.

Six minutes later, Alexander played the guitar alone. Without him noticing Tigor, Wulan and Tiara saw him behind the glass. The acoustic guitar and the quiet atmosphere made Alexander forget himself.

After playing the guitar, he smiled with satisfaction and Tigor entered the room. Seeing his arrival, Alexander was a little surprised. He was silent while folding both his hands. Alexander had a chance to see Wulan and Tiara crossing. He had no idea at all, that the two girls saw the action to the end.

"Hey, what are you doing in the music room?" ask Tigor.

"Anu, sis. I was just a fad," he replied with great nervousness and fear.

"Let's hear, only members of the exkul music can play here. Unless you join this exkul."

"In that case, I'm sorry for playing without permission" he said apologising to Tigor.

Alexander tidied up the musical instruments he had been wearing. Then he walked up to Senior and said goodbye to Tigor and left the music room. Tigor simply fell silent, seeing Alexander walking alone through the passageway in a hurry.

Not felt, the day has begun to twilight. The members of the exkul, seen one by one leave the school environment. Wulan and Tiara saw Alexander walking in front of the school building and he started walking across the street.

"The boss is home, let's also go home before the school gate is closed," Wulan invited back home.

"Yes," his reply bowed languidly.

Once again, Tiara parted with her heart. Eight hours felt short, different when he was in Heaven. Inevitably, he had to return home. Meanwhile, Alexander had just arrived at the parking lot opposite the school. The atmosphere of the parking lot looks quiet, there are only a few motorcycles still parked neatly around the parking area. Before leaving, he began to darken his motor body and helmet using a piece of cloth. Wulan and Tiara had just entered the parking lot, they both glanced at Alex and walked over to him.

"Good afternoon, boss. Want to go straight home?" ask Wulan.

"Yes. Where did you guys end up anyway? Why did you just come home at this hour?"

"Ah, we both went around the school all looking for information about the experience" replied Wulan.

"Gue is also the same around the school as well as looking for information about exkul. Who knows, I'm interested in one of the students at this school."

"The boss has determined, who will join the excrement?" asked Wulan then Alexander replied, "Not yet."

Wulan patted Tiara on the shoulder, she smiled as she nodded as a sign of gesture. Then, he walked away leaving the two of them to pick up his still-parked Beat motorbike. Alex and Tiara looked at each other, their eyes unblinking and they looked away in shame.

The sound of the motor getting closer, Alexander glanced back. Wulan sat on the bike with his hands out as a sign that it was time for Alexander to apologize. He only fell silent in embarrassment when dealing directly with Tiara.

"Tiara," Alex said stammeringly.

"Yes?" reply Tiara shy.

"I want to..."

Some members of the exkul began to enter the parking area. Once again, Alexander failed to apologize and he told Tiara to go home. Alexander rode his motorcycle and he drove while saying goodbye to the two of them. Before that, he took the time to ask for the phone numbers of both of them. But unfortunately, Tiara does not have a phone number. Wulan silently shook her head while looking at Alex with a flat face.

"Come, get on. We must also go home" Wulan ordered Tiara.

"Yes," she replied briefly.

Tiara got on the motorbike and the two of them started driving away from the parking lot. Along the way, he was silent in light of a brief conversation with Alex while in the parking lot. He smiled happily, able to talk even for a moment. In the depths of his heart, he hopes that tomorrow he can talk longer with his idol.
