When Destiny Chose Me

When Destiny Chose Me
Meet Kenzo


I took a deep breath, Closing for a moment his two eyes that felt so hot. Why does my life's destiny feel more complicated.


It's been two hours. But my eyes were still reluctant to fall asleep. I got out of bed and walked to the balcony. Quiet there while staring at the thousands of stars that look so beautiful.


"If the rainbow exists, bring it into my life, O God. Even though the beauty only lasts a moment. At least I wasn't always under the rain" I said as I stared at the dark sky.


Suddenly, the shadow just flashed. I miss the old days so much. A time when I was so happy with the people I loved. There are mothers, Fathers and Kenzo's sister who always make me carve a smile every day.


How can I marry a man who turns out to be the sister of my ex-lover. Geez, why is my life's destiny this complicated.


*****


Without feeling the night had passed so quickly. I woke up early this morning because I had a morning lecture. Yeah, I'm still in college and I'm still in semester 6. Even if for one year I have to feel the curse of Mama Lina, but at least she still wants to finance my college until now. Foolishly said all his words, Surely, I must graduate from college and become a scholar. Realizing my desire to become an eye doctor.


I cook for breakfast mama and also sister Larisa who is currently still wandering in her dreams. Every morning there is a lecture, I always deliberately wake up early so that when I go to college they do not bother me.


After I finished cooking, I went back to my room, I took a quick shower. Get ready and leave before the two of them get out of their sleep.


When I was about to step outside, Mom's voice stopped my footsteps. But this time I felt something was different from that voice. Mama's usually angry every morning, but not today. Makes me suspicious.


"Alena, wait" he called and made me stop my footsteps immediately"Yes, Ma. What's up?" I asked while looking at Mama Lina who is currently looking at me with a smile. Tumben once mama Lina smiles. After the accident that befell my father, only this morning did I get a smile from him. Mama took the wrong medicine last night.


"What time will you be home?" ask you. Why did Mama Lina ask me when I was coming home. It's not that he's always been so stupid like me. Even when I didn't come home, Mama never asked me where I was going.


"Not yet, Ma. Today Ale there are some practices. What's the matter, Ma?" manya curious.


"Your prospective in-laws want to invite us to shop all your wedding dress fittings that will be carried out next week"


"What! Next sunday? Why is it so fast, Ma?"


"Faster is better. Mama did not want to know, at 14:00 you have to be at home" said Mama and immediately left me who was still frozen in place.


Oh, my God, next week. Why should it be so fast. Even I don't know what kind of attitude and nature Alkan. What that means is that soon Brother Kenzo will be my sister-in-law.


I took my feet out of the house, This morning I felt no passion for going to college. Moreover, when I remembered the cold and stiff face of Alkan last night, made me even more unsure if I wanted to marry him.


This morning I went to college using an online motorcycle as usual, Besides being faster, of course the cost is also cheaper. I never got any money from my mom. Because my mom only paid for my college.


"Why Al? Is his face gulped like that?" kevin asked, Ijol was also the only friend who always wanted to be the place I shared. To be a place where I tell what I feel. The only one who always strengthens me. A man I consider like my own brother.


"Biasalah, Brother. I don't know my life's problems" I said to Kevin's brother. Yes, I did call him sister. Because he's five years older than me.


"You're not finished, Al. I don't think there's a day without problems"


"Come, Brother. Kevin's brother who heard the kayak was tired of the story of my life problems. But this time the problem is heavier" brother"


Hearing what I said, Kevin stopped the speed of the bike. Kevin's sister turned to me"There's a new problem again?" ask him.


"Next week I'm getting married, brother"


"What! You're getting married. Suddenly, didn't you ever say you were getting married when you graduated from college"


"Indeed, Brother. That's the planning I have. I got married when I graduated from college and had a good career. But it wasn't as smooth as I imagined. Because mama, want me to marry the son of his friend. Ah, No. More precisely I became a substitute for Larisa's brother" I explained to Kevin's brother.


Brother Kevin frowned his little forehead"What do you mean? I don't get it"


"At first, Larisa's sister, whom I'm going to marry the man. But after Larisa's sister found out that the man was blind, she didn't want to and asked me to replace him"


"What! So the man you're about to marry is blind?"


I nodded"Yes, Brother. There is no choice but to obey. Because if I refuse, Mama will" my words were cut off when Kevin's brother chimed in on me.


"Will stop your father's hospital bills. Isn't she?"


"Yes brother. Why does my life's destiny have to be like this"


"But, Al. Who knows if there is any wisdom behind all this. You know, if God will not give tests beyond the limits of his servants. Do your part as well as you foam. I'm sure you'll find beauty after you're tired of climbing"


"Understand, I mean"


"Yes brother. Well, it's better for Kevin to take me to college. I had some practice this morning"


"Jaudah, let's go up"


Kevin's bike again drove to the campus where I run my education.


By the time I got to campus, I got off and paid the fare to Kevin's brother. But he refused as usual. But I insisted because I know that Kevin's brother is currently collecting money for his wife's labor costs.


"Take brother. I know Kevin's brother is looking for money to prepare for the delivery of Dela's brother right. I don't want Kevin to refuse" I said, handing over fifty thousand bills.


"Thank you, Ale"


After that, I entered and walked quickly to my class. While walking down the corridor, I accidentally bumped into someone and made his belongings fall on the floor.


"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" I said, helping him collect the files.


"No problem" the man replied as he raised his face turned towards me.


"Alena" he said, sounding very softly calling my name. The soft voice I used to hear from him.


"K a k K e n z o" I replied as I looked into his eyes.


After a long time I did not look at him, it turns out that the feeling is still the same. The heartbeat I feel today is exactly the same as it was five months ago.
