My Startling Destiny's

Part 91 [For You I Will Survive]

That afternoon, Andra had just had a meeting between the directors and commissioners. This meeting is an annual general meeting of shareholders which is held every year.

Andra who served as a Director in one of BuminTara Group's subsidiaries certainly could not miss the meeting. And once done, Andra came out last after some people in suits older than him came out first, one of which was Papi and Opa.

“Andra, you'll come with us!" Opa and Papi stop step by step to talk to Andra.

“No can Opa, because this afternoon I have to attend the launch of a new product Astra Megantara.” Said Andra who still has a further agenda, which is to attend an event organized by one of BuminTara Group's subsidiaries.

“Ya. When it's finished, we will finish maghrib together to attend the engagement of his son Pak Purnomo!” Papi chimed in while mentioning the name of one of the state officials who will hold the engagement for his son, tonight.

“OK, later Andra after!" Andra answered steadily. The charismatic aura was so emanated as he bowed as a sign of being ready to carry out what Papi and Opanya had ordered just now.

Papi Ervan and Opa, along with other boards of commissioners and directors, then immediately stepped into the elevator together, leaving Andra who now switched to checking the phone with Novi who was still faithfully accompanying.

“Beres Nov? Leaving now?" Andra asked when she saw Novi was ready to make a phone call.

Novi nodded, “The driver who will deliver is also ready!" Obviously Novi again, where every visit of all parties must use the facility.

The two then entered the elevator, Andra squeezed a line of numbers right next to the door. So that the screen on the side of the number is now switched to show the arrow image along with the numbers that continue to change.

Once on the first floor, Andra and Novi went straight out. Both were seen entering a black MPV car owned by the company.

Andra sat in the back seat, while Novi sat in the front. When the car had driven away from the company yard and began to break the road in between the hustle and bustle of passing vehicles crowded the capital road. The clock shows at 3 o'clock past 20 minutes, but the road is so somewhat jammed. Make Andra prefer to play mobile phones to prevent boredom.

Repeatedly he called Lany, to just accompany him during the trip. Looks like chatting with that strange girl will be very exciting. Andra had thought about what chat he would discuss with his wife. However, the face that was so excited, then shriveled when the call was answered by the voice of the operator.

“The number you are going to is in another call!" Of course it makes Andra sigh disappointed. The shadow of how fun chatting with Lany just vanished.

“Whose phone is the same?" As she asked in her heart, Andra turned to lean her hand against the window of the car.

For a long time he was silent to observe the passing vehicle, until he remembered a row of missed calls from his father-in-law and the brother-in-law who was on the call log Lany. Andra then again grabbed the phone that was located on her thigh. He decided to contact Mamak. It didn't take long, her in-laws had already raised her call.

“Assalammualaikum, Mom!" Say hello to Andra while smiling. Highlight his eyes had a glance towards Novi who turned around when he heard him mention the word Mak.

The mama who had long wanted to talk to him, immediately welcomed the call with such enthusiasm. Of course, as Lany said, the witch would only want to ask about the news that had been on television at that time.

“Waalaikumsalam, Andra!" From the way he said it, it was very clear that the witch was smiling.

“Where have you guys been? Why is there news?" Said Mamak who immediately scattered Andra.

“Lany too, called often but never picked up, huh!" Mamak protest, “Your wife is so annoying, Andra!"

“About living in the city and being the wife of a rich man, she's forgotten family!" Look how the witch is so good at saying. It seems he is not aware, if he used to be the one who often forgets Lany and only remembers when there is a want. So sucks.

Although Andra knew the relationship Lany and her stepmother did not get along but she still responded well. Andra doesn't seem to have involved the issue at all.

“Sorry yes, Mom. Lany has been lazy to pick up the phone lately, she is often angry if someone calls!" Andra chuckled amusedly hearing her answer. Instead of wanting to vilify the wife, he just did not want Lany considered to forget the family.

“Perhaps because of pregnancy hormones, so lately he has become often angry."

Mamak who was heard exhaling annoyed breath, surprised when he heard Andra's words.

“What Andra? Lany pregnant?" Ask Mamak.

“Yes, Mak!"

And their chat continued, of course, with Andra who answered all the things Mamak asked about the news that once contained his face on television at that time. Of course his confession increasingly makes the witch who used to be always ketus instantly turned into a very meek dream in-law, mamak pretend as if he loved Andra so much from the beginning. Hmmnt, had Lany known, maybe Andra would have been taken care of for serving her ignorant stepmother and her double eyes.

“Oh yes Mak, maybe next week me and family will visit.” Of course Andra's narration makes mamak prancing pleasure.

“Oh, come Andra, you will tell me. Surely he's happy to meet his iron!”

The conversation should end when Andra has arrived at the hotel where the launching event will be held. Andra who came as one of the show's performers immediately entered.

Completed the task as one of the people who gave a word, two words and also promoted together on stage. Andra rushed out as soon as her task was done.

“Pak Andra!"

Andra is walking out with Novi. He looked up to find a person who was calling his name.

Andra frowned when she saw a familiar figure standing among the rows of guests passing by.

“Can you have time to talk for a minute, sir?" Ask the man politely.

“Bby, but later around 9!” Andra's reply left the man speechless, “I still have to attend this Maghrib finish event!" Connect again.

The man then sparkled happy to hear his words, “When Sir, you have time I feel very lucky!" The man bowed respectfully so pleased.

Andra nodded, “Where do you want to meet?" Ask.

“Di Diamond Resto, Sir!”

“Okey, 9 o'clock yes!" Said Andra, then rushed off to go to the engagement event that Opa and Papi said earlier.

.....

The faces of two opposite-sex people slowly began to approach, indicating that soon a romantic kiss would be anchored. A white woman with her red lips that seemed to tremble as the warm breath of the man before her was completely surmounted her face, and ... Shitt's... The sound of ringtones accompanied by a small vibration of a sophisticated cellphone was forced to disperse Lany's view from the scene on the television screen which now shows the two people enjoying a kiss.

Jemari Lany directed to reach the phone on the table. Under the dimness of the room whose light only comes from the television screen, Lany looked seriously staring at the screen of her phone.

Andra : Baby... I think I came home a little slow, so I can't pick you up. You still have an event, you go home just like Anto! He is under waiting for you!

As soon as he read the message from Andra, he who was lying on the sofa then moved. His hand reached for the remote to turn off the tv.

“Like an impromptu nih people!" Lany clucked, upset because Andra's message made him have to rush down. Because making Anto mang wait too long is certainly not a good thing.

“Try to chat from earlier, you don't need to rush this!' Lany was still grumbling while cleaning up her pillow and folding the blanket she used, not forgetting she threw away the leftover trash of snacks and the skin of fruits she ate.

Now the feeling of anxiety is back present when he had to return to the luxurious house in which there are some people who still do not accept his existence. Especially when remembering if Andra will come home late, it feels like he wants to stop the time right then and there until Andra comes home, so he does not feel alone. And the feeling of fear and anxiety was getting stronger when the elevator door opened and revealed the apartment lobby area, so his eyes could look at the figure of Anto mang from behind a glass window was standing next to the car.

“Go home, neng?" Mang Anto said when Lany's step was approaching the car

“Iya mang!" Lany smiled clumsily as she grasped the sling bag rope and the crackle contained some of her clothes.

“Emnnnnt..”

“Where else are you going?" Ask Lany after pausing her words.

“Nanya doang neng, but there is still a purpose!"

“Not really, we just go home!"

Mang Anto then let Lany into the car. Actually, Lany is very awkward to be treated like this, she's not used to it.

The car broke up a busy road in the capital. Along the way Lany just fell silent while observing the glitter of the city from the car along with the chants of the song played when Anto began to adorn his hearing.

Calm down, my love

I know your heart is crying

Dare to believe

All this must have passed

Although it won't be easy

But you're not alone

I was right here

For you I will survive

In the dark I will not leave

You are a true friend

My love in every day

For your heart I will endure

A heart I've been waiting for

Only you and I know

The meaning of love that we have

*For You I Survive _Afgan*

For some reason, the lyrics of the song that still flowed from the car radio made his heart sad. He remembered Andra, the figure who always gave him the strength to face the problems that currently stuck in his heart. The lyrics really describe their current condition. Despite all the problems, Andra will always be by her side. The man always tried to make her sure that she would not face anything herself, because Andra would always be there for her. Until that is what strengthens her determination to stay afloat, other than because she already loves her husband.

“Loh, How to cry? Why?"

Instantly Lany rubbed her face roughly when looking from the mirror reflection, Mang Anto was looking in wonder at her.

“Eh, it's okay!"

“Nnothing but kok nangis, later I can be scolded Den Andra loh,!" Mang Anto's face looked anxious.

“Not what, really!” Lany is still trying to convince, “Just miss the family!" And this reason succeeded in making Mang Anto believe.

Moments later the car that Lany was driving turned into the courtyard of the palace's bathhouse. Fretfully, he began to step down from the car.

Several times Lany sighed to calm herself down. Great hope that not to be greeted by a deadly gaze from a female member of the Andra family, whether it is Mami, Oma or Dara.

“Assalamualikum!" Lirih Lany when opening the main door.

Passing through the living room made him breathe a sigh of relief, because there was no one there. Likewise, when passing through several large rooms that he himself did not know what its function was. Until the moment his steps began to set foot on the second floor, he was greeted with a deadly gaze from Oma who out of nowhere had suddenly been with Dara there. The two stared at Lany from head to toe.

“Where have you been?" Sergey Oma with cynicism.

“From Oma's apartment, take this!" Lucky Lany took some of the clothes she needed. So he can use it as an excuse and hope Oma will understand.

“House work all day, instead of waiting at home even dabbled until night!"

Truly Lany could no longer speak, the courage that he had so far seemed lost every time faced with the Andra family. Makes her think back to the timid little Lany, who had absolutely no courage to refute Mamak and protest at him whenever he was treated unfairly.

“But I've the same permission Andra, Oma!" Lany tried to defend herself.

“Andra give permission does not mean you can go home so late!” Still with a cynical look, oma glanced towards the wall clock. “See, what time is it?"

Lany's heart felt like nano-nano heard Oma's speech.

“What's up? How noisy?"

The voice made Lany who had lowered her head while squeezing her hands, immediately ventured to see who was coming. Mami Inka had just climbed the stairs wearing a beautiful evening dress.

“Nih, your son-in-law Inka. Just got home at this hour!"

“Truly-cannot keep dignity as a wife, how to be a good wife if this is it!?”
