The String of Destiny
Mercy Workshop

Wulan and Tamrin ride their respective motors. Tamrin drove slowly while pushing the motor driven by Wulan with one leg.

He said to Wulan, that he would take her to the workshop. Wulan just wants it. Then, he refocused on holding the steering wheel so as not to hit the shoulder of the road.Fifteen minutes of travel, finally they both arrived in front of a workshop. In the workshop, there was a board that read "Bakery of Grace".

The two of them, seeing a 40-year-old man sitting sweetly while enjoying a cigarette and a glass of black coffee. The man saw Tamrin's arrival and he switched off his cigarette.

"For a long time, the wheel test. How good is the pull?"

"Definitely! Who was it, dong. Good mechanic?! reply Tamrin.

"Who is that girl? Why was he brought here? You got him?!" joking of the man.

"Nga! How dare I kidnap a girl. If so, it's Cindy Yuvia I'm going to kidnap!" reply Tamrin.

"Hey, Tamrin. She who?" tanya Wulan whispered to Tamrin.

Tamrin started introducing the man in front of her. His name was Herman, Uncle of Tamrin's mother. Every day, he called her Bang Herman. Bang Herman, is the mechanic and owner of this workshop.

"Tamrin, who's this girl? Your boyfriend? Ciee! Niby!"

Tamrin blushed in embarrassment, she explained that Wulan was her classmate. Bang Herman didn't believe it, he just did it. He asked what really happened.

Wulan told me everything, starting from his motorbike that could not go even though the engine and gas tank were still full.

In addition, he tells about the sealing event carried out by the Motor Gang until Tamrin saves him. Wulan deliberately, did not tell the truth so as not to be flashy because the action hit the members of the Motor Gang.

"That region is vulnerable, neng! Next time don't go out at night. Mending in the house to sleep," said Bang Herman advising then he asked, "Where is it going?"

"Buy, Kebab."

"Okay, neng. Like a boy asking for candy. Day can also."

"Already, Bang. At least Wulan is safe with Tamrin!"

"Well, Mas Brave Girlfriend," Bang Herman's tease made Tamrin blush in shame.

Bang Herman said goodbye, he walked into the workshop. Now the two of them were in front of the workshop. Wulan looked around, the atmosphere in the workshop and then he glanced at Tamrin.

He fell silent, seeing what Tamrin was up to. The man was so serious about checking the damage to the Wulan motorbike. Wulan recalled, when the Exchul Band he paid for part-time work.

"Tamrin, you work here?" ask Wulan.

"Yes, Wulan. I work here" he replied, then he turned and spread out his hands, saying, "Welcome to my place of work!"

"Hmm.., now it makes sense why you always want to go home quickly. Since when do you work here?"

"Since third grade SMP. When I was in Junior High, I moved schools in this city. But actually, this isn't my job."

"In addition to working in the workshop, what do you do?" ask Wulan then Tamrin replied, "Online Objects!" answer with passion.

The night wind started to blow, a bit of motor drove across the workshop. Tamrin found out the problem with Wulan's motorcycle.

"Hey, Wulan. How many times do you go to the workshop?" ask Tamrin.

"A once a year."

"A once a year? Crazy one! You see this!" reply Tamrin while pointing.

"Belt your bike until it breaks up. Engine oil is a drop! Look, Wulan, it's not a human who needs treatment. The motor also needs treatment" Tamrin said.

"I guess gas is enough."

"Where can that be!"

Tamrin began advising Wulan on the importance of motor care. Wulan fell silent and he just said it. Seeing that, Tamrin shook his head, he resumed his work on repairing the Wulan motorbike. As Tamrin was repairing Wulan's bike, she remembered how to fight Wulan.

"Hey, Wulan. During Elementary School or Junior High, did you often get into street fights?" tamrin asked and Wulan replied, "No."

"liks. There's probably a girl who can beat up five guys at once."

"Tamrin. Have you ever seen a movie looking at the future?" asked Wulan then Tamrin replied, "Gue knows."

Wulan said that she has the ability to see the future. He saw what his opponent would do in the next five minutes.

Hearing that, Tamrin was in disbelief but considering the way Wulan fought she finally believed. Later, Wulan told me about the fortune telling ability he had. He admitted that he could predict what would happen to someone even though it is uncertain when the time occurred.

"Great! You're a real fortune teller girl!" praise Tamrin.

"Often, the future is unpredictable. All the power of the Creator."

Tamrin fell silent, he resumed his work on repairing the Wulan bike. Inwardly, Wulan said that in addition to looking at the future. He can also see the background and past accurately.

Time had passed so quickly, Tamrin finally finished her work. He walked into the workshop and washed his hands and took two glasses of water along with a snack. After that he walked out carrying a tray.

"Come, get eaten first," Tamrin said as she placed the tray on the chair.

They both enjoyed a snack together. Wulan recalled Tamrin always called her "Boss". She wondered why Tamrin called her that.

"Tamrin, there's something I want to ask."

"What's that?" tamrin asked, and Wulan asked back, "Why do you call Alex the Boss?"

"Because Alexander's an interesting man."

"interesting? Whatchu mean?"

Tamrin told me the meaning of her words. When he first met Alex during the Student Orientation Period, he saw Alex watching around with a sharp eye.

Alexander always paid attention to the black notebooks, before doing anything. Unbeknownst to Alex, Tamrin sees the contents of his notebook.

"You remember, Alex once told me he was a victim of bullying. From there, I concluded that Alexander is the type of man who likes to observe and analyze situations. In addition, teenagers like us like to make groups. I think Alex is fit for the chairman position"

"Hmm.., I thought the same thing. But there's one thing you don't know, making Alexander deserve the nickname Boss" Wulan replied.

"What is that, Wulan? Don't make me curious."

"You will know too."

Tamrin is increasingly curious about Alex, about the thing that makes him deserve the nickname Boss. After enjoying a snack, Tamrin asked for a bill for his motorcycle repair. Wulan started taking money in the wallet. At the same time, Bang Herman came out of the workshop.

"Tamrin, your trouble guy is even asking for a fee. Nengs! No need, neng! Make Neng Wulan free!"

"Hmm.., then thank you."

"Tamrin! Take your thump back home! Workshop let brother close."

"Yes, Bang. Aye!"

"No, Wulan's still curious about the Kebab."

"Yes, already. Let Tamrin be with you, take you home" replied Tamrin.

"Well, that's dong. His name is a real man!"

"Yes, bang. Yes," he replied while riding the Supra X 125 motorbike he had used.

Wulan got on her bike, they both drove on the asphalt to where the Kebab seller Wulan wanted to be. They drove slowly down the road. Some young people, crossing them with modified motors. Tamrin rode a motorbike, speeding towards Wulan.

"Wulan, are you sure you want to go ahead? Who knows, the Kebab shop is closed. In front of the road is closed because there is a wild racing event."

"As long as it's not midnight yet, keep going! At home, let it be my business."
