GROANS OF DESTINY

GROANS OF DESTINY
THE S2-CHAPTER 21



The sound of keyboard typing is followed by the accompaniment of Riani's fast-moving fingers pressing in turns the keys on his laptop keyboard.


While brewing the hot coffee across his desk Riani continued to type quickly the documents that had to be completed tonight.


Suddenly the phone that has a new table rang, Riani was surprised to think about who called her this late, while Riani had permission to go home the night with her husband, Riani, and Albern's got business out of town tonight.


Riani decided to pick up the phone to dispel her curiosity.


There was a voice of a woman who was foreign to Riani with her clear Indonesian speech, no one Riani knew had such a voice intonation in Indonesia.


"Right with me" Riani replied after hearing the woman say hello, is this true with Miss Riani Putri?


"Include me Alisya Fitri from campus xxx" said the voice of the woman who was none other than Alisya.


Riani was immediately surprised to hear the name "Wah.kid glad to hear you call me Alisya" said Riani.


"Previously sorry to interrupt your time these nights, if my estimate is correct, maybe now the time in France is around 11 p.m?" tanya Alisya was again asserted by Riani.


"I can't call you with my number, because the international number is yours, especially I don't have enough credit to call your number, so I have to borrow the campus phone" it was clearly Alisya that Riani could understand.


"I understand Alisya, so when will you be able to go to the firm immediately?" ask Riani.


Alisya gave a small laugh from across the phone "why are you so sure that I will accept your invitation?" ask Alisha back.


"Because I'm sure that a great girl like you will not waste the opportunity I give" said Riani.


"Hahaha rather than as a lawyer, I think you are better off being a sycophant, Miss Riani, I contact you not because of my interest in the confiance firm, but because of the lucrative deal you promised me" explained Alisya.


Riani felt slapped at being said as a lick by the person who had first spoken to her, maybe this was the same feeling that Manquer Pamela felt when hearing the first sentence from Riani about her.


Riani only smiled faintly at the sentence that Alisya had spoken to her.


"Hahaha it doesn't seem like I'm wrong to send you a letter containing the deal" Riani laughed back.


"You are not at all wrong miss, so after all my tasks are sent then I will contact you again as soon as possible" Alisya replied.


"I'm not that stupid as Alisya, you could have turned down an interview with us for the reason of the assignment, I know very well your real reason is that your employment contract at the discotheque is not yet completed, and if you stop then you will be fined by the owner of the discotheque according to the contents of your first contract with the woman" explained Riani.


Alisya seemed surprised to hear Riani's explanation "As a sycophant, I admit you are also talented to be a reliable stalker miss, hahaha is everyone in the Confiance Firm like this?" ask Alisya.


Riani frowned at Alisya's words "from your words and tone, like you don't like our firm, do you?" ask Riani.


"It is unfortunate enough that your talent is wasted miss" said Alisya suddenly.


"What do you mean!?" riani asked with a slightly snapping tone of voice.


"I think you know very well what I mean, already Miss Riani, I have to go to work immediately" replied Alisya while directly hanging up the phone.


Riani let out a long sigh "it looks like I have to dispel my feelings while talking to this child" Riani muttered visibly annoyed. Riani resumed her work.

The Cast Back to Aisyah


Aisyah sat in a cafe waiting for the arrival of Rini Yulianti, the writer's girl who used to hand over the script directly to Aisyah.


After 10 minutes Aisyah waited while sipping her hot mochacino, the girl came in still wearing her white-gray uniform.


"Sorry sister, I remember there was a class picket" explained the girl saying the reason for the delay.


Aisyah smiled faintly at the girl "it's okay, please sit down, what message do you want?" ask Aisyah.


"Eh. I'm warm water" replied Rini.


Aisyah called the cafe waiter to order warm water Rini order.


After a few minutes the waiter came back to bring warm water.


"You got the flu?" aisha asked Rini who was sipping her drink.


"Typically many teenagers who have gone home from hot school choose to just drink water or ice, unlike you who instead choose hot water and again not containing sugar" Aisyah guessed.


Rini laughed grimly "yes sister, lately I have the same flu cough, so there must be a lot of consumption of warm water so that my throat does not make hoarse sounds" replied Rini.


Aisyah nodded in understanding, that was also the usual thing she did when she was in the flu or coughing.


Rini still sipped her warm white water, while waiting for Aisyah's opinion on the script, while Aisyah propped up her chin with her right hand while staring at the old highway view behind the 2nd floor cafe window.


Rini chose silence because it was not good to ask that first, let alone her late condition, instead making Rini even more unwell to open the chat. But Rini still felt that now Aisyah's mood was better than when she met the day after yesterday.


Aisyah was still busy staring at the passing vehicle from behind the glass on the 2nd floor of the cafe, 2 minutes later Aisyah turned her eyes back to Rini.


"Can I see the ending of the story you wrote the day after tomorrow?" ask Aisyah.


Rini nodded quickly while handing over some sheets of paper containing many stacks of writings neatened with paperclips.


Aisyah opened a new crush sheet typed by Rini back, to find out the end of the story the girl wrote.


Sania wept bitterly, the burden she was carrying was now gone, accompanied by the strong waves of the night ocean accompanied by the sea breeze that scattered Sania's clothes and long hair.


Sania's tears disappeared instantly pushed aside by the night sea breeze, without the slightest wave of tears remaining in her eyes, the sound of Sania's sorrowful cry was faintly covered by the loud sound of the sea waves.


Sania smiles thinly recalling her first love that has been lost, or has actually gone home to the right person, which now leaves a wound for Sania.


Her husband or her ex-husband, Sania's first love, Sania's greatest man after her father, has now returned to the right embrace, none other than Sania's best friend who has been regarded as her own sister by Sania.


Sania is forced to let the two men unite, although Rakry Sania's husband was initially not happy to divorce Sania just like that, but Sania chose to take the first step to divorce Rakry, who was not happy, although in the end Sania the most sick bear the reality of life that now slaps her very sore.


Sania does not want to be bound in the drama of life that loves her heart, what is the point for Sania to live with people who do not even love her at all, with men who had only considered Sania as his escape.


Although no one welcomes Sania's hand now, Sania still chooses to smile, because this is the right destiny for her, choosing her own in silence again.


Aisyah was stunned after reading the final written sheet of the script owned by Rini, the end of the story is so sad, so sad, the main character who has been idolized in the story must be very tortured because of a brash man who played his love.


Aisyah closed the manuscript while looking at Rini with a thin smile "tomorrow come back to the office, but before that go home and change your clothes first, we will discuss publishing, cover, and before that, and the budget for your new novel" explained Alisya.


Rini was shocked and smiled with satisfaction, she was so happy that the script was accepted and would be published soon. Rini immediately nodded quickly until unconsciously her happy tears fell slowly wetting the table in front of her while tightly hugging Aisyah with thanks that she always whispered repeatedly.


"Would I take you home?" asked Aisyah to Rini who was still busy removing her snot with a tissue because she was crying.


Rini shook her head "no need to, because later I want to go to the bookstore first" explained Rini.


Aisyah was silent for a moment "to the bookstore? can I come with you?" ask Aisyah.


"Eh... ?" wonder Rini.


Aisyah drove her car to a large bookstore a short distance from the cafe "sister not to the office?" ask Rini wonder.


Aisyah laughs at Rini's question "for today not yet, because for anyone your task the editors are indeed more outside, looking for inspiration, looking for new talent, and looking for new talent, and others related to the world to writing, especially I have not been to the bookstore for a long time" replied Aisyah.


Rini smiled while smilingly nodding Aisyah's reply.


"Oh yes Rini... You know? your name is almost similar to the name of someone I love very much" said Aisyah.


"Who is my brother?" ask Rini.


Aisyah smiled faintly "she is a great woman, intelligent, beautiful, kind, and my only family, even if there is something that makes one of us have to make a great sacrifice, she said, then I will be willing, I will stand up front to sacrifice for her, even though my life is at stake or maybe my heart will be at stake, I sincerely can see her smile" explained Aisyah.


Rini was silent for a moment, not knowing what to answer or respond to Aisyah's words.


"If Rini could have known.. Who was that woman, sister?" ask Rini.


"His name is Riani, if the letter a standing in the middle is omitted, it will be similar to your name... Rini, she's my sister, the woman who's been taking care of me, the woman I've been motivated to survive after the departure of our parents, hahaha funny isn't it? I told you this shameful thing instead" Aisyah's laughter seemed to be holding back her tears from coming out in front of Rini.


Rini smiled looking at Aisyah "it's okay brother, instead of hearing the story of brother, I feel closer to brother, I'm sure that Riani's brother also thinks the same as Aisyah's sister, I'm sure, Rini is sure that Riani's brother will also stand while holding Aisyah's hand while standing at the front" said Rini who made Aisyah speechless.
