The String of Destiny
Uncoupling

It doesn't feel like midnight. Tiara lay on the bed. Alexander touched the switch button of the room light. Then he lay down on the bed right next to Tiara. The girl, tidying up her pink nightgown with the flower motif she was wearing.

Alexander's heart was racing, his face flushed red and glanced at him. Her sweet smile, radiating happiness she could not hide. The warmth of his embrace made Alexander uneasy.

"My husband, haven't slept?" tiara asked and Alexander replied, "Not yet."

What's the story today? I noticed these two days, you're often alone. What's the matter, actually?"

Alexander turned his body around, saying to Tiara that he was sleepy. In the end, Tiara found no answer as to what had really happened to Alex.

As the night wore on, Alexander began to walk into the Dream Realm. Slowly, his eyes opened he was surprised to see himself in the hallway of the school. His legs began to move forward.

The entire student, watching him with a look as if humbling him made Alexander feel uneasy. Someone kicked his leg down, Alexander looked back. Apparently, the person kicking him was Inspiration. He was with his three friends, looking down on him.

"Morning is lazy, quickly wake up losers!" hina Ilham's.

"Neck, quickly buy us breakfast!" ilham Command.

"Look at guys! Alex is crying!" hana made her heart feel like it was pierced.

"Go ahead, let's hurry!" keep Martin kicking Alexander pretty hard.

The four of them, pulling Alexandre's hand and then kicking him far enough away. Every step of his foot, the entire student looked down on him. Various maki and abusive words, making his feelings torn.

No one cared, as if the hallway bore witness to his suffering. Arriving at the cafeteria, he saw Wulan and Tamrin sitting on a long bench.

He was happy to see his two best friends, but when sitting right next to them both. They both glanced at him. Highlighting his eyes, looking down made Alexander speechless.

"Gapain look-look? Jiji I'm seen as you!" the word Wulan made his heart ache.

"Nyesel we both, slang the same you. Udahmah cupu, weak, arrogant mentang-mentanng have expensive motorcycles. He is Tiara's girlfriend. What's the love until Tiara is crazy about you?!" ask Tamrin.

"Tamrin, I'm sure Tiara must have been used" Wulan said.

Alexander was downcast, his tears began to flow along with enduring the pain in his heart. Someone doused his head with water, he looked back. Apparently it was the actions of Hadi, a former bully during Junior High.

"Cool that head, Pig!" bentak Hadi's.

As soon as everything went dark, there was nothing but a maki cacophony from all of them. His body floated in the darkness, crying hysterically.

"Why are you all bad to me?! Fucking assholes! Always a victim of bullying. What exactly is my fault?!"

The further it sank into the darkness, the louder the sound of his crying grew. Slowly he began to see a light, his tears kept coming out from which he began to feel. Behind the light, there was a voice of someone who was not unfamiliar to him.

The voice was so soft and soothing to the heart, when it called his name so many times. His eyes started to open, he saw the look on Tiara's face so worried.

"Darling, wake up baby! What's the matter with you?" tiara asked as she wiped her tears.

Alexander did not respond to the words, he lowered his head and came back crying. Tiara hugged him quite tightly, Alex's head he rested on top of his chest. She slowly rubbed Alex's back head until her crying subsided.

"My husband, what's the matter?" tiara asked as she rubbed Alex's head.

"Actually, three days ago when we were in the Canteen. Wulan and Tamrin, warning me about Inspiration. I also watched her for quite a while, for some reason I felt annoyed to see you two close."

"Ciee.., jealous of the story," Tiara's timpal made Alexander misbehave.

Every day, the thugs at school always treated him like a lackey. In addition, his crotch was once forcibly swiped on a school pole and he was always beaten as an impingement. Most make his heart ache that is, his mother believes more in the words of others than her own child.

Teachers always assume, that bullying as a form of joking makes bullying on him never ends. No one wants to be friends, even care about him other than himself. Among the bullies, Hadi remembered most.

Every day, he was always ignorant and did a fixation on him. Then, he once hit Alex for no reason. Every time he reports, Hadi always gets protection from his father who is the Headmaster and his own mother.

Therefore, Hadi's actions against him are increasingly outrageous. Inside the house, Alexander was often colonized by his own brother. Instead of getting a defense, the Mother defended her Brother more than she did.

"I want revenge!" he bowed with sharp eyes.

The aura of hatred towards Alexander was felt by Tiara. She smiled and hugged her boyfriend from the side.

"Based in the past, shackles you. You imprison yourself in an indecisive rage. Your soul wants to calm down, but is defeated by shame and grief. Go and forgive them all. That way, the shackles and shadows of the past will escape by themselves. Start to open a new page," he said with a wise word.

"I'm afraid that if Wulan and Tamrin know of my past they'll stay away. Even worse, they bullied me, "Alex timps with sadness.

"Calm down, the two of them aren't that kind of people. You'd forgotten? We are four. If that happens I'll step in."

"Thanks, Tiara. Honestly, I'm still afraid of bullying" he said grievingly.

"Wherever we stand, bullying happens. The strong will always oppress the weak, such is the reality of life. You are focused enough, growing better. Don't be afraid, I'm sure your life is much better now. Remember my message, don't dwell too much on the past and learn to live a better life."

Hearing that, Alexander smiled. Likewise with Tiara, smilingly looking at her lover from up close. Unexpectedly, Alexander kissed his forehead making Tiara's face instantly blush.

Alexander, change his sleeping position to the side. Tiara's heart pounded, she hugged Alexander from behind. The quiet atmosphere of the room, as if to be a silent witness to the intimacy of the two of them.

"Monday after school, please tell Wulan and Tamrin everything. They're so cute, for two days they keep worrying about you" she said, hugging Alex from behind.

"Yes," Alex replied.

"Don't be afraid, there's me who's always beside you. I won't let anyone hurt the man I love" she said, stroking Alex's head.

Tiara took off her embrace and the two of them fell back asleep. Alexander's heart was relieved to have told Tiara everything. He felt lucky, had been met with an angel figure like Tiara.

Two days had passed, after school Alexander, Wulan and Tamrin were sitting opposite each other on a long chair. White table, be the limiter of the three of them. As for Tiara, looking at the three of them from quite a distance away.

"Boss, lately why is the boss staying away so much? Are there any words we hurt the boss?" ask Wulan.

"If any of our words or behavior offends the Boss, we apologize" Tamrin said.

"You two are not wrong, I avoided due to trauma in the past. When you warned me, I immediately remembered the dark time during SD to Junior High. It used to be from the SD to SMP. I was a victim of bullying. Eating it, I was two days more alone. I'm sorry to make you misunderstand me" Alex told them both. Thanks for reminding me of Inspiration."

"Together, Boss. Now we both know what the Boss is thinking" Wulan replied.

"Has right, the Boss always carries a small book in the pocket of the Boss' pants," Tamrin continued and Alexander replied, "Betul. After knowing my past, you still want to be friends or you'll tell everything to the others?"

"Of course, no! The boss is my friend. I hate what's called bullying! No one can bully a member of the Four Triads!" Tamrin.

"Master Boss! Wherever the Boss goes and whatever the Boss decides, we will always follow" Wulan said.

After that, the three of them apologized to each other. Tiara approached, their four hands extended forward then compactly they said Four Strands while raising their hands up.

The misunderstanding had ended, Alexander was happy to be able to remove the shackles of the past within him. In addition, he was able to live out the day as usual with his four friends.
