The String of Destiny
Used Money

The next day, Alexander sat down daydreaming while looking at the atmosphere of the school behind the classroom window. Today is Thursday. All the students were wearing light blue clothes and gray pants.

Today is an empty hour, so the atmosphere in the classroom is so crowded. Alexander kept thinking about Tiara's desire to have a cell phone. Money is a sensitive item. Despite getting a shipment from the Father of ten million, he could not use it without permission.

Moreover, the money was used to buy a mobile phone for Tiara. He did not want to, making Tiara known as a milk girl.

"Thinking about Tiara, Boss?"

Alexander was aware from his daydream, he was surprised to see Wulan suddenly beside him. The girl wore a hoodie while shuffling her tarot cards.

"No," Alexander replied making Wulan look at him seriously.

"Hmmm...."

"How about you foresee me!" Alex pinta.

Wulan exhaled, making some of her Tarot cards crash. Once again, he shuffled his tarot card and then placed it on the table. Seeing Wulan's actions, making her look like a real fortune teller. Then, he took one of the cards and looked at it with a serious look.

On the card, there is a picture of a man bound by an iron chain. The man was looked at by the look of the craftsmen. The faces and behavior of these people are different. While the man who is bound, has a look of despair.

"Boss is going to have a problem. The problem is related to expertise and confidence. The chain of trauma due to the past, made the Boss even worse and hesitant to trust others."

"Hmm..., what do you think I should do?" ask Alex.

"Don't doubt the past, if you can't afford don't hesitate to ask for help. Open your heart to others only half the door. Finally, dare to resist trauma and seek your own freedom" Wulan said.

Hearing that, Alexander fell silent and thought hard to digest Wulan's words. He wondered what kind of trouble he would face. Not long after, Tamrin came and he sat opposite Alex and Wulan.

"What are you guys doing?"

"Precites. I just finished divining the Boss," replied Wulan.

"Why didn't you guys take me? I also want to be predicted. Bad, bad you guys..."

"It's Tamrin, don't be envious. You will also I predict. Now you are silent and attentive," Wulan replied to Tamrin.

Wulan started collecting his tarot cards then he started shuffling them quickly. Then, he placed the cards on the table and took the two cards.

The first card, there was a man walking through a hollow road riding a horse. The man's journey was blocked by two red-horned Roman soldiers and the man gave him a card.

On the second card, the man is in a room with a judge.

"How's it?" ask Tamrin.

"Today, you're going to have bad luck."

"Fuckin' shit?"

"The misadventure is related to the path you often pass. You forgot the time limit, on one of the things you have."

"Confuses. I don't understand at all" replied Tamrin.

"Once again, ignore that explanation. I suggest you don't go home today. You'd better go home at dusk, "he gave advice.

"Where can! After school, I have to work. Otherwise, I could get a boss's reprimand at work. Anyway, I don't really believe in prophecy."

"If you don't believe me, why ask me to predict? Whatever. Believe it or not, at least I told you. The consequences are your own."

"Ok, Madam Wulan. No problems..."

Meanwhile, Tiara and Hana had just entered the classroom. The typical aroma of culinary Bandung is seblak, filling the kela space. The two of them, sitting in the front seat and enjoying a meal together.

"Tiara, have you entered the Class Group?" hana asked and Tiara replied, "Not yet."

"Why?"

"Nobody has my number..."

"Then I ask you to ask if there is a difficult task."

"can't. My father was very strict," he reasoned.

Finished eating, Tiara walked away throwing garbage inside the front trash can of her class. Someone called out to him, he immediately glanced towards the person who called out to him. Apparently, that person was none other than Inspiration.

"Hi" said Ilham.

"Hi, too."

"At empty hours?" ilham asked, and Tiara replied, "Yes."

"Your two students talked about our match?"

Tiara recalled, regarding class 10 IPA A challenging her class. The girl replied, that she and the Class Leader will talk about it soon. Inspiration only fell silent while folding both of his hands.

"so apparently. Tiara, after school you have an event?" tanya Ilham then Tiara replied, "There is. The plan, today I, Wulan and Hana want to visit Mall Cikini."

"Ok, I'll tell them right away."

"At school, my friends and I went straight to your class."

After that, the two of them separated. Tiara walked into the classroom and then walked up to Alexander talking to Wulan and Tamrin.

"Have you talked to Ilham?" alex asked, and Tiara replied, "Yes, Alex. He's asking for answers, about the challenges of Soccer in our class."

"Hmm.., but why long?" ask Alex.

"Cieee.

Alex's face flushed red, he turned his face away while enduring embarrassment. In his heart, he admitted that he was jealous.

"St! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Alex replies.

"Oh yes, one more. I asked permission to go to the Mall with Wulan and Hana. But Ilham and his friends plan to come."

"Great! It's started all permits" Tamrin said.

"Ehem! Why do I have permission?" wulan asked.

"Because, Alexander Wirawan is My Husband.."

Hearing that, Alexander's face instantly blushed red. Likewise with Tamrin, hearing romantic sentences made her very envious.

"Ah, shit I'm envious!" tamrin said as she stood up from the bench. "But lots of sugar, my ears hurt!" while running around the class.

Tamrin's attitude, being the center of attention of the whole class. They all asked, regarding the reason Tamrin was acting so strangely. He replied that he was jealous of Alex for riding his dream bike.

The whole class believes the lies told by it. Meanwhile, Wulan tidied up her tarot card and then paid her back to her seat.

"Tiara, go to the Mall do you have money?" ask Alex to Tiara.

"No, the grant money from the person I was temporarily staying in was up. But you take it easy, I don't buy anything there."

"Go back to school, meet me at the back of school. May the atmosphere be quiet" Alex whispered to Tiara.

"What's wrong?" tiara asked and Alexander replied, "Anyway, you'll do it" he whispered to Tiara.

The bell foreshadowing the next lesson hour has rung. All the students returned to their respective places to prepare for the arrival of the Teacher.

After school, Tiara walks out of class but has just come out she is pulled by Hana.

"Hayo, where are you going in such a hurry!? Don't forget about our show!" exclaim Hana.

"Basic, you're just surprised. I have business for a minute, I'll be back. Oh yes, Ilham and his friends want to come."

"Seriously? Wow cool, if those popular guys come with us!"

"Already, yes!" tiara replied, and she ran.

"Hey, wait! I'm coming!" said Hana.

Just a few steps, someone held his hand. Hannah turned around, seeing a man holding her hand. Apparently, that person was none other than Wulan.

"Don't" said Wulan then Hana asked, "J

Why?"

"If we catch up with him, Ilham and his friends are confused looking for us."

Hana did not catch up with Tiara. He prefers to wait for Ilham and his friends with Wulan. Thanks to Wulan, Tiara was able to meet with Alex according to the promised place.

So long ago, Tiara finally arrived at the promised place. He saw, Alexander waved in front of the small roadside stall. Sunlight shines bright, the atmosphere during the day is very hot. Pedestrians are just a matter of fingers walking by.

"Darling, what's up to asking me to meet here?" ask Tiara.

Alexander took the wallet in the back pocket of his pants. He took out three hundred thousand pieces of currency.

"Make you. As much as possible please save," he said while giving money shyly.

"But why, baby?" tiara asked feeling bad.

"I am your husband. How could he let his wife go, without money."

Tiara fell silent, her hands shut her open mouth. His face was flushed red and unblinking when he heard what Alex said. Then, Tiara smiled making Alexander even more wrong.

"What did you say?" tiara Goda.

"There is no repetition!" alex replied with a crimson face and then he walked away from Tiara saying, "Anyway you be careful, more than 7pm should go home!"

"Yes, husband. I try to get home as soon as possible" he murmured at Alexander from a distance.
