The String of Destiny
Eavesdropping

Three hours have passed, the bells of the hour of rest have rung. The teacher walked out of the class. All the students, one by one, began to leave the classroom. Hurriedly, Alexander stood in front of the blackboard while Tamrin closed the classroom door before the other students came out.

"Consider everything, don't come out!" alexander said giving instructions.

"What's wrong?" tanya Dawn, the student in an upside-down hat and gray pencil pants.

"Today, we will determine the picket schedule. If you want to be quick, please write the name in a small paper roll. Let Tamrin do the raffle and write it on the blackboard," Alex orders all the students in the class.

All the students in the class, wrote their names on a small roll of paper. Nanda, the braid-haired girl of two, was fair-skinned and had acne on her face walking collecting rolls of paper. After that, some students go out of class while others are in class.

Nanda started mentioning the names of the first-graders. As per the draw, Alexander got the picket duty of the first day, Tamrin the second day while Wulan and Tiara on Friday. After that, all the students left the class.

"Tiara, Wulan let's go to the cafeteria!" take Hana to the two of them.

"Yeah!" reply Tiara.

The three of them walked outside, but unexpectedly Ilham and his friends passed by. Seeing Tiara, Ilham immediately stopped his steps and smiled sweetly at him.

"Hey, Tiara. Why just got out?" ask Ilham.

"Yes, because our class just shared the picket schedule," replied Tiara.

"Yuk, the cafeteria together," Invited the three of them.

They all, walking down the school hallway. The students passed by all of them. Secretly, Ilham and Tiara became the center of attention.

The good looks and popularity of Ilham as the National Football Team, make it look like a magnet attracts everyone. Moreover, he walked in tandem with the prima donna of the school that is Tiara. While walking, they all talked about learning activities in their respective classes.

Sometimes, Ilham and friends throw jokes that make Tiara and her two friends laugh. As they walked, they finally arrived in front of the cafeteria. The atmosphere of the Canteen was quite crowded, making them all doubtful.

They all walked into the canteen. Martin and William, occupying an empty seat followed by the four of them. The yellow-haired girl, standing from her seat, Ilham stood up.

"Wait, let me deal. What do you want to order?" tawar Ilham's.

"Don't!"

"Why?" ilham asked and Tiara replied, "Tiara feels bad to be paid continuously."

"Look easy. Make a Tiara, buy a canteen I can."

"Yes, that's it. I ordered fried rice and Mango Juice," Tiara asked and Ilham replied, "Ready, Queen."

"We're both booked as well?" ask Martin.

"You two, message yourself," replied Ilham and smiled very widely.

"Basic Inspiration! The turn of the girl immediately responded," lead Wiliam.

"Oh, so it's just Tiara being ordered?!" hana to Ilham.

"Yes, already. You can all order, let's order what you all?!" ask Ilham.

All of them, began to order to inspiration one by one. After ordering, Ilham went to his subscription booth and then he sat back in his place. Hana remembered about the extracurriculars, she was curious about the exkul that Tiara was interested in.

"By the way, have you decided to join which Exkul?" ask Hana.

"Still not thinking," replied Tiara.

"Hey, how about you join the Football Excluster?" tawar Ilham's.

"Football? Isn't the Football Excule kid only accepting male members?" ask Wiliam.

"No Williams, it just so happens that the Football Exckul needs an assistant coach. It seems, Tiara fit to join there," said Ilham.

"Hmm.., you can use the mode. Tell me, if you want to be alone with Tiara" whispered Martin.

"Sttt!" reply while gluing the index finger with a shy blush.

It didn't take long, two canteen servants came to take their orders. They all started to enjoy their lunch menu. The taste of fried rice is quite bland, but the hunger makes Tiara forced to eat it.

"What's wrong?" ask Tiara.

Inspiration did not answer him, he took a grain of rice attached to his cheek. Sontak Hana, William and Martin were surprised to see Ilham so romantic. While Wulan, speechless with a flat face.

After eating, Ilham moved from his seat and walked to his booth. He bought two pieces of Vania Ice Cream at a fairly expensive price.

"Tiara?" whispered Wulan then Tiara replied, "Yes?"

"Don't be easily lured, remember our Boss," he warned. Tiara turned to him, "Don't worry. My heart belongs only to my husband" he whispered and smiled.

Inspiration came, he walked carrying two Ice Creams in his hands. He gave one of the Ice Creams to Tiara. The girl looked happy, receiving an Inspiration-giving Ice Cream.

Then, he started licking it starting at the very top. A sweet taste, dancing on her tongue made Tiara involuntarily start smiling. His smile, made anyone become captivated as well as cause misunderstandings.

"Where's the Ice Cream?" ask Ilham.

"Enak, sweet!" tiara answered and Ilham said, "When you look, this Ice Cream has the same thing with you."

"Eh, what equation?"

"Same-sama is sweet," his waves made Tiara laugh.

Hearing the flutter, Wulan shook his head and saw Alexander and Tamrin sitting right behind Ilham and his three friends. He sat down with Tamrin, since Ilham had just arrived with both Ice Creams in his hands.

He looked down, his eyes sharp and his hands clasped quite tightly to each other. Alexander heard everything, both ears were hot and his heart was pierced by a needle.

"Huh.ha.ha! Could be, a basin of water. Serem is also called Ice Cream!" reply Tiara.

"Sorry, about my fight. Later your girlfriend heard, it's bad to misunderstand," he said to Ilham.

"Relax, my girlfriend is not a misunderstanding person."

"Eh! Do you have a boyfriend?!" tanya Ilham and her two friends then Tiara replied, "Have."

The heart of Inspiration hurts, it feels like a knife pierced his heart. Sick but not bleeding, that's how I feel now. Even so, it is not the name of Inspiration if it does not get what it wants.

However, he tried to think positively that who knows he was just joking. If indeed Tiara has a boyfriend, surely she will continue to be alone with her lover.

Moreover, he was determined to find out who the lucky man had captivated his heart. At the very least, he could find a loophole to snatch Tiara's heart from the man.

"So apparently, what kind of person is your boyfriend?" ask Hana.

"His face was handsome, his beautiful eyes were like a pomegranate red stone. A smile as sweet as his heart, although he was not very clever," he said imagining Alexander's figure and his kindness as he carried him in the City Park.

"So Sweet!" exclaim Hana.

"Hmm.., I was curious. Who knows, I could be friends with him" said Ilham.

"Sometimes, I'll introduce you guys."

"right, yeah. Can it be next Monday? If it doesn't, then you're lying" said Hana.

"Huh.ha.ha! What the heck," she chanted to Hana.

"When you're dating, what do you usually call her?" ask Wulan.

"My husband," Tiara replied without a second thought.

They were all shocked, hearing Tiara calling her boyfriend a husband. Speech so excessive, making them more curious about the lucky man to be his lover.

Alexander heard him, he put his face on the table and buried his face behind his hands. His face flushed red, his heart pounding as he held the happiness within him.

"Ciie."

Tamrin whispers, making Alexander look more like a boiled crab. Tamrin looked at each other and nodded her head. Then he sat up straight and fell silent as if nothing had happened.
