When Destiny Meets
77. COUNSELLING

Shortly after Arkana left school, Alina turned her back. He felt like someone was watching him. But Alina then ignored him and entered the school. It just so happened that Alina had the acquaintance of one of the teachers there.

Alina could get to know the teacher from Dance. The teacher had known the old man of Dance for a long time. Knowing that Alina is interested in becoming a counseling teacher eventually makes Tari's father recommend her to the teacher at the school.

Alina was immediately called and asked to meet the principal there. Today just so happens to be the day that Alina will meet the principal. At first Alina was hesitant because of her plan to become a counseling teacher in middle or elementary school.

But this school is a high school, Alina is hesitant to face the students there. But this is not the time to choose a job. Getting a recommendation and meeting with the principal is a rare thing.

Alina should appreciate everyone behind this. Alina had promised Tari that if she managed to get a job there, she would treat him to their bar. Coincidentally Alina was also re-accepted to work part time there.

So the plan is if Alina succeeds in working at this school, her night at the weekend Alina will also work at her subscription bar. Subscribing to a bar turned out to have an advantage for Alina. The proof is that he can easily get a chance to return to work there.

Recalling how she could be fired back then, it made Alina recall Arkana. Because at that time, what caused Alina to be fired was Arkana who complained to the manager. At that time Arkana still did not care about the people around him.

Alina now only hopes that when her part of the work is not there Arkana. Arkana is also a regular customer at the bar, he quite often goes there with his friends including Satrio. It wouldn't be a problem if Alina met Satrio, but Alina would avoid Arkana very much.

Alina did not want her heart to wobble when she saw Arkana. His feelings still need to be well-ordered. Even until now Alina still did not dare to tell that to her father. Her father's health is now Alina's top priority.

Arriving at the Arkana office did not work immediately, but approached Satrio in his room. "Sat, busy?" ask Arkana at the door.

"Masuk ... Why do you? Still this morning," said Satrio, astonished to see the disheveled face of his best friend that morning.

"So morning I saw Alina .. And when I tried to follow her, she went to our school."

"Our school? A SMA? kai school is also dong," said Satrio shocked.

"Why what?"

Arkana just shook his head, he did not know what Alina meant there for. He could not ask the school. Precisely the main purpose of approaching Satrio is for that. At High School, Satrio was the chairman of OSIS.

There will be many teachers and employees there who know Satrio, especially for those who are still working long ago. Satrio's time as head of OSIS and Arkana as head of basketball became their school heyday. A time that has always been proud in every generation, reportedly until now.

"Lo why don't you ask Dari anyway, why is Alina there."

Arkana turned out not to think there, "Especially, I called Tari aja deh...thanks Sat." Arkana returned to her room.

Alina was waiting nervously in front of the headmaster's room. This was his first interview with the principal. Even the first time he was in an interview. During this time during applying for work part time he was only tested directly in the field without conducting interviews.

Finally Alina was called inside, the teacher who had encouraged her before entering. Inside Alina walked awkwardly towards the chair in front of the headmaster.

"What a nervous wreck it's like to see one of the students make a big mistake and be called the headmaster?" the headmaster said with a warm smile.

That warm smile reminded Alina of Bu Rose. A smile that makes people feel comfortable around them. It turns out that it was true what the teacher said about the headmaster was very good.

"His name is Alina Prameswari? pretty named after her."

Alina went through after hearing the compliment, at the same time easing her tension as well, "Thank you Ma'am" she replied.

Alina also began to be asked some questions related to her experience working as well as her experience in college. Whatever Alina learned and what Alina tried to apply in everyday life. A question that sounds simple, but requires an honest answer from the one being asked.

It could be that at a time like this Alina remembers Arkana. Alina had seen Arkana meet with one of her business partners, and how Arkana spoke to that person was very calm and charismatic at the same time.

Alina tried to practice what she saw from the Arkana way of speaking to answer the question of the principal's mother. Alina has always noticed the difference in how Arkana talks to her family, to her and to her business partners.

Among them all Arkana sounded more spoiled with her mother, warm to her, and quiet professional to her business associates. Arkana had said that his calm way when talking to them made them unable to guess the next step from him.

After hearing the reply from Alina who sounded calm and confident made the headmaster quite satisfied. It did not take long, Alina was accepted into counseling there. But Alina has a job.

Alina needs to take another psychology education lecture to support her to become a permanent teacher there. But according to the principal's mother, that's not what needs to be done immediately. It can be done gradually.

That afternoon Arkana met Tari who was walking with her friends back to the office. Arkana was actually waiting for Dance there. Those who called each other before had made an appointment to meet in front of the office of Tari.

"So morning I saw Alina."

"I saw Alina quit in front of my high school with Kai first ... Alina, what's the business there?" ask Arkana to the point.

"Oh ... Alina was called to work there as a counselling force."

Honestly, it makes Arkana surprised and proud of Alina. Finally Alina was one step ahead towards her dream of becoming a counseling teacher. But this coincidence feels too good to be called a coincidence, it feels like fate.

Arkana was quite relieved to hear of Alina's progress. It seems like Alina's living is fine without him. Though sad enough to hear, but also a good thing. It means Alina is trying to rebuild her life and refuse to fall into mourning her grief.

I'm proud of you, Alina. I continue to hope you have a good life going forward, I promise I will help even though from the side you can not see.
