Not the Wrong Destiny

Resellers

Lukman had just gotten out of the office when the sun was about to set, he walked towards the parking lot to pick up his car. For almost a week he returned to the office to fulfill the responsibilities of each subsidiary and all employees.

After successfully removing the car from the row of four-wheeled vehicles parked there, finally the car owned by Lukman began to move slowly leaving the spacious office area.

Actually, he was tired of taking care of everything, if not thinking about the fate of thousands of employees, maybe Lukman will stop not want to return to take care of his business. What's more since he had heart surgery, his body became very easily tired.

Perhaps what Anya said at that time was indeed true, if now it was time for her to retire and enjoy old age.

However, is choosing Bima as the successor to the company leadership is the right thing? Even to this day Lukman is still fondling his decision.

Staring straight at the street, Lukman kept thinking, he must make a decision, or forever his mind will never feel calm.

His mind began to rummage everywhere, imagining that if Sheerin was pregnant and gave birth to a child, Lukman was the first to feel very happy. Maybe his old age will be memorable if decorated by the laughter of his grandchildren. What a simple dream of an old man who longs for the warm embrace of his children.

The lights on the streets one by one began to light up, welcoming the night that soon arrived. At times like this, Lukman's view began to blur because from a long time ago he was suffering from night blindness.

He fumbled the next seat with his left hand, while his right hand remained faithfully holding the steering wheel, remembering that he had put the glasses there to make it easier to find.

Lukman long enough to look for the existence of his glasses, after his hand managed to find the object, Lukman immediately put it on.

But what did he get in front of him?

Lukman's eyes were perfectly rounded, his mouth wide open as his vision began to return after wearing glasses. Then there was the sound of a long horn that was mutual from the outside.

Thiids... Tidiiiiiidddd.....!

Apparently, without realizing Lukman had broken through the lamp a minute ago lit red, his hand on the steering wheel vibrated violently when he realized he was in danger.

BRAKKKK!

Then he felt if the car he was driving was dragged with tremendous force along with the loud noise was heard, whether what was a stone just hit his car, or not, but for sure the vehicle was much larger so that it was able to make Lukman's car bounce up to somehow a meter away.

Instantly, Lukman felt pain all over his body, the blow did not stop until once, even though he was wearing a seatbelt, but he could not avoid the accident that had just happened.

The pain he felt now was much more painful than when he had a heart attack. His body was crumbling, as if his bones had slipped out of his body cavity, his brain was no longer able to think, only a black shadow flashed before him.

Now his body was squeezed by the car's nearly fused skeleton, only to be blocked by his helpless body. Lukman's car turned dented after being hit by a mini bus, what else the minibus hit right at the wheel.

A mini bus crashed shortly after hitting an APV, a blow so powerful that the vehicle itself could no longer defend its defenses. The rumbling and panicked cries of the passengers rumbled inside, only certain people could possibly survive the accident, even the driver of the mini bus itself was killed.

Not expecting if this is the last day that Lukman can see the world, all the beauty and happiness that is in it is just a mortal.

The hope of fondling grandchildren, must be lost in one blink of an eye. However, another hope re-emerged, there, precisely in eternity, the angels he had always longed for must have been waiting for him. His lips developed a smile as his soul flew away, leaving the body that had been his place. Clearly visible twinkling of light to the serenity on the pale face, Lukman returned to the lap of God in peace just as the adhan maghrib reverberated.

"I am very interested, in addition to the unique and contemporary model, the price is also quite good." A middle-aged man spoke while nodding his head. Various types of home-produced veils look messy in front of him.

Sheerin began folding one by one the samples that had just been shown to his prospective reseller. Levin's the spokesman there.

"Of course, we always give the best price for the resellers, because we are first hand, we produce it ourselves, if you like, please stop by our convection. We'll be very happy."

"If there is free time, God willing I will stop there. But it seems like I have to leave right now, the day is getting dark. It doesn't feel like we've spent two hours here." Saying the man in his formal language, Levin tried to match him.

"Well, our courier will deliver the goods tomorrow morning to my father's house." Levin.

"Alright, then, hopefully our cooperation can run smoothly and durable!" The man then reached out to Levin. Shaking hands signifies the cooperation that has just begun.

"Amiin, thank you so much you have believed in us." Levin.

"Then I say so now. Assalamualaikum." The man clenched his hands at Sheerin while nodding and smiling.

"Getishalight." Sheerin and Levin answered in unison.

Sheerin who saw that smile, so remembered the warm smile of the father. If you look around, maybe the age of the man is not much different from his father. Ahh, dad, Sheerin misses you. When will he get a chance to see his father? There were many longings and questions in Sheerin's mind that all this time he could only suppress himself.

"Hey!" Levin flicked his finger right in front of Sheerin's face. Makes Sheerin jump in shock.

"You daydreamed Nin?" Levin asked with a small chuckle, laughing at Sheerin's startled expression that looked funny in his opinion.

"Now, not really." Sheerin was forced to develop a smile to cover up his nervousness.

"Where? Everything all right?" Ask Levin.

"Not yet, there's much more to this." Sheerin pointed to a pile of veils on the table.

"Yes, I'm helping with lipatin!" Sheerin nodded, then they began to tidy up the veil to put it back in the bag.

"Geev!" Sheerin exclaimed in the midst of this activity.

"Yes?" Levin Sahut.

"Thank you! If there were no you, I probably wouldn't be like this right now. Open a business and change the family economy." Sheerin.

"It's my commitment, Nin, I'll always stand behind you no matter what." Reply Levin.

"Emm, Lev, question your time...." Sheerin's words came to a halt when Levin's phone lying on the table rang.

"Just a minute, papa's on the phone. I'll lift it in the back!" Levin then moved on after Sheerin gestured through a nod of his head.

Sheerin breathed his heavy breath, was his decision to accept Levin's love and make him a lover right? His heart was so troubled, I don't know what exactly he was worried about, right? Love Levin? But the smile of the middle-aged man just now became another candidate causing unrest in his heart, Sheerin imagined that the smile belonged to his father.

PRANGS!

A waiter came and swiftly cleaned the glass flakes carefully. Feeling guilty and unwell, Sheerin helped collect the shard.

Mama Anya and Luis had just entered the door of the restaurant, the first sight she saw was two young women cleaning the floor, Anya's mother could not see the faces of both of them because of their position behind her.

"Basic sloppy." As soon as Mama Anya sneered.

"It's Anya, don't talk about it. Let's just sit over there!" Luis exclaimed as he pointed at one of the tables that only blocked one table from Sheerin's table.

Even if Mama did not want to take a headache, she followed Luis who had walked first.

Sheerin sat back in his chair after all the broken glass had been successfully cleaned. Her feelings are really not calm right now. As a matter of fact, what is going on with his heart?

But the thing that made him even more unsettled now was, he saw the creepy figure not far from where he was. Saliva with great difficulty.

It was clear that mama Anya was ordering a menu to a waiter, as well as the man with her.

But, wait a minute!

'Who is that guy? That's not dad. But why does mama Anya look so intimate with that man?'

With a quick movement Sheerin grabbed one of the veils and wore it to cover the head. He deliberately changed position on the chair that was occupied by his reseller. From that place, Sheerin could listen to what Anya's mama and the foreign man were talking about.

"I've Luis. That old jackass is really stubborn!" I heard Mom talking.

'who does he mean by old man?'

"I told Anya, your plan was a waste of time." The man who was with Anya's mother replied.

"Just go back to our original plan, if it can't be persuaded properly, then we use the path of violence." Mama Anya said.

"...We must get rid of Lukman immediately, so that there is no longer a barrier for us to control all the assets of wealth in his possession." Imbuhnya.

'A... Whahuh? Lukmans? So mama Anya wants to get rid of dad, does she? Husband himself? Just for treasure?' Sheerin really did not expect that today he got this astonishing fact.

So now that his father is in danger, they're after his life.

No, mama Anya will not be able to get rid of father that easily, Sheerin must act immediately and move quickly. He had to make sure his father was okay now.

While Anya's mom is here, Sheerin has to go see his dad. Aye!

Sheerin stuffed the unfinished veil he folded back into the bag in a quick motion. Then he stepped away from the table, before he was found out, of course.

At the same time, Levin came from the toilet.

"Nin, is it over?" Ask Levin.

"Udah, let's go home now!" Answer Sheerin.

"You why? Rich in panic?" Ask Levin.

"Why, let's get out of here!" Sheerin pulled Levin by the hand, before the man asked a strange question again.

"Yes, here's the bag let me carry it. Heavy!" Levin forcibly took the bag from Sheerin's hand. They began to walk out to the main door of the restaurant.

Sheerin asks Levin to drive him home first. Although he had to quickly meet his father, but there were several reasons that were his consideration. Other than this Levin guy who was half-dead, surely he would not stop asking if Sheerin asked him to be escorted to Lukman's house. Sheerin also had to take Nindi's exact same anklet as hers to ask her father.

"Nin, I can't take long, papa asked me to let him see his business partner who just died in an accident." Levin said shortly after they arrived in the alley to Nindi's rented house.

"Oh, yeah, that's good." That way, Sheerin did not need to waste energy to drive Levin away. It wasn't that Sheerin didn't miss, it was just a situation that was urging him not to waste any more time.

"Lho, how good is that?" Levin asked with a frowned.

"Ehh, no. Yes, you've come home, sorry papa you wait a long time." Answer Sheerin.

"Yes, later if you have come home to visit me VC you are!" Levin.

"Yes!"

"By!" Levin waved his hand at the farewell sign.

"By!" Sheerin returned the wave before Levin's motorbike shot up and lost in the alley.

Sheerinpun started walking in the middle of the dimness. He looked at the door of his house that was slightly open, without a second thought he immediately entered. Don't forget he closed the door again so no mosquitoes came in.

"TdssdghxDbjfsazzccbjg." There were soft whispers coming from the room as Sheerin was about to enter. Pronounced his intention, he preferred eavesdropping from the outside, which made him interested in listening was, Yuvi who carried around Nindi's name. It seems like mother and Yuvi are having a serious talk with Yuvi.

"What if Nindi later met her biological mother and family. He would have preferred to be with them and Nindi would have left us Mom!" Yuvi.

"No Vi, I'm sure Nindi will never leave mother. Even though she didn't give birth to him, it was she who had cared for him and raised him until now."

Wait - wait! Whatisthis? Did Sheerin hear wrong? Nah! His ears are still functioning normally. So it turns out, all this time Nindi is not the biological child of the mother?

Sheerin could not help himself anymore, he opened the door wide. When Yuvi and her mother turned to look at her, they looked panicked.

"Nindy!"
