When Destiny Re-Picks
Short, but Shortened

A commotion ensued around the swimming pool of a high school. A student was unconscious on the tile floor. Some people try to make him aware after drowning. Before long the schoolgirl coughed out the swallowed water.

Uhuk ... uhuk ....

The student regained his senses while pointing at a girl standing behind the crowd.

"She– she pushed me," he said stammeringly.

"Who?" People are watching around.

"Diandra–" Almost whispered.

Everyone was silent when they found out who was meant. The teachers stared at each other with confused faces. Everyone whispered to each other without daring to make a sound.

"Why are you quiet. He wants to kill me!" the students scream.

Anyone knows the girl is not someone they can offend. He has the power to keep them from twitching. A dangerous incident like this is no longer the first time. Despite trying to fight back, the girl would get away without any effort.

Evidently when Diandra just smiled every student accused him.

"He dropped himself. I didn't push him." One reply from Dian had already managed to shut everyone's mouth. No one would dare to blame him.

"There's a cctv there," he pointed out. "You can see for yourself." Even if Dian is guilty, they can't do anything about it.

That's his life. When you have power, you can subjugate the law. Turn lies into truth and vice versa. His clean self is broken. Why be a good girl if everyone already considers bad. No matter how strongly we prove the truth, no one will believe it.

But behind all that, challenges and tests are unceasingly approaching. He began to get tired and hate himself, until even bad deeds no longer scared him. The education of the closest people has contributed to make him an empathetic human being.

"The girl's not dead, is she? I'll compensate you as payment. So this problem I consider finished. After all, she was the one who bullied my daughter first," Rea dropped out on the principal.

His parents always protected him from problems that could damage his reputation later as their heir. Don't think he's protected because he cares. In return Dian will be punished behind the scenes until the wealth they have is unable to pay for every pain.

All this continued until he was a teenager. Entering late school until almost entering college. But because of one decision, everything changed. At the age of eighteen, her family required her to marry an unknown man.

Enough of his quiet life. Not his future. He can still run away from torture, but marriage will not be his choice!

But again, the world seems to never take sides. God also refused to help him. While trying to run, he was faced with a heavy choice. A choice he cannot afford to refuse!

"Tonight I want to see the marriage certificate on my desk! You and that girl!"

The words made all his hopes collapse. Dian didn't know what to go next. If he steps back, he must be faced with the choice of his parents, but if he steps back, he must be faced with these great men.

"Call me papa. From now on you're part of our family."

"We'll protect you. So don't be afraid. Grandpa's here with you."

His dead heart began to move. He almost forgot his bad self with them. He felt the warmth again. Falling in love with the wrong person is inevitable.

Everything feels short, yet imprints in memory. Only those who feel know what it feels like.
