Title: You Are My Destiny (Part 1)

_________________________

Sonia threw her body on the sofa of the living room. He breathed a long breath with relief. College this semester has ended with a satisfactory IP. He welcomed the holiday with great joy. His father had promised to allow him a vacation in the family-owned villa. Sonia's father was a successful and well-known businessman. Many men want to get the heart of Sonia, a wealthy businessman's only daughter. But never once did Sonia receive the love of the men who were chasing her. He preferred to focus on college and learn to manage his father's business.

'You're going on holiday to our villa on the beach?' asked Papa while approaching Sonia on the sofa.

'So dong, Pa. Kan Papa promised. But Nia can invite a friend?'

'Papa let you. But the condition is that you go there alone. Don't take friends. Okay…'

'Yaacchhh, Papaaaa. Hhmm, yes that's it.. Thanks, Pa.., ' Sonia hugged her father spoiled.

The long-awaited day arrived. Sonia left for the villa by the beach. The plan was to be there for a week. After a three-hour journey, the girl finally arrived at the beach. Sonia's eyes began to be pampered with her favorite blue. The blue sky of the day is decorated with white clouds. The blue sea water glittered in the sunlight. The waves are chasing the sound of nature that secures the ears. An atmosphere that greatly reconciles the soul.

It was only a short while for Sonia to enter the villa for her luggage and luggage. Then he went back to enjoying the beach view. Until the afternoon, he still spent his time playing on the clean white sand beach. This beach is quite quiet because it is still rarely visited by people. Most visitors only come from the owner or tenant of the villa that is lined along the beach. Sonia was still engrossed in enjoying the touch of her feet stroked by the small waves. Suddenly the voice of a man shocked her.

'As beautiful as you are, are you alone?!' the voice of the man approaching Sonia.

'You're talking to me?' sonia asked in surprise and looked at him suspiciously.

'Yes, who else? It's just you and me here…'

'But I don't know you!'

'If you know me, my name is Andra. You who?'

'I didn't ask your name!' Sonia's getting uncomfortable.

'My company is here!' andra's words were heard as a command for Sonia.

'Who are you anyway? Don't know, just mess it up! Want you what?' Sonia was getting upset.

'We already know. I said my name. You don't want to call your name yourself! Don't be so smart about judes! No guy wants to be with you!'

'Oh, you don't know anything about me! So don't comment like that! Don't understand the manners, do you? Contact kok maksa.. Iihh, ogah…!!' Sonia is leaving.

'I'm here alone, you're alone too. What's wrong with being friends? I want you to accompany me!' Andra clasped Sonia's arm. For a moment Sonia was shocked and looked at Andra.

'But you can ask politely, right? Take off my hands!'

'Yes, okay. Accompany me here, please.' Andra clenched her palm with a pleading face. Sonia sat on the sand holding her head. Surprised by this strange day. So unlucky to meet a person who's kind of 'not right'. Andra sat down next to Sonia.

'You are frustrated, right?? I don't know what you're having trouble with, you suddenly come, then I'll get acquainted, and tell me to go with you! Crazy... I came here to say stress, uh even meet stress people like you!' Sonia nagging. Andra just laughed. Sonia was getting scared. But Sonia felt quite 'lucky', meeting 'crazy people' as good as Andra.

'Yes, I'm in deep frustration…'

'Why? Diputusin chick?'

'Hahaha... Is my face there a look cut off by a girl? Not in my dictionary! I am mostly a girl!' Sonia's getting more alert with this one guy. It's crazy, play boy again!

'Don't mess with girls, go crazy!'

'Yes. Because of that, my parents want to match me. They have a friend who has a daughter. I want to be fooled by their choice. He said, rather than me changing girls is unclear. Hahaha... Crazy isn't it? That's why I ran away here.'

'Oooo. So you need me to make it your 'trash bin. Damn fuck! That's bad!' sonia Gerrutu.

'But you want to, right? Hehehe.'

'Make what??' sonia protest. But he couldn't dodge. Without further ado Andra immediately took HP in Sonia's pants pocket.

'Ehh, Ehhhh…!! What's this? Balikin, right?? Muting!!' Sonia's almost hysterical.

'Srsttt…!! Saucy gini spelled out the thief! I just miss-call my HP number through your HP. This is my number I saved with the name Andra! Your number has also been entered on my HP, ' Andra returned Sonia's HP. The girl was still pouting.

'Iiiissshhh.. Who asked for your number!'

'So, what's your number I save by what name, Beautiful?'

'Sonia! Or Nia! Whatever!' Sonia turned her face away from being called 'beautiful' by Andra.

'Cieee.. Hahaha.' Andra laughed.

'Basic play boy crazy!' Sonia got up from her seat and ran away.

'If I SMS you have to bales..!!' yell Andra. Sonia kept passing from that place.

The following days on the beach.Sonia spent all day with Andra. It turns out Andra also has a villa that is located quite far at the west end of the beach. For some reason, Sonia could not refuse Andra's invitation to meet and accompany her. Though in the heart of Sonia there is a sense of anxiety because she just knew Andra. He didn't know if Andra was a good person or not. But what's wrong with being friends? So thought Sonia to brush off her doubts. After all, Andra is a fun person. If with her, Sonia feels happy and cheerful. Andra treated Sonia like a friend and there was no impression of playing like a play boy. Sonia felt comfortable with Andra as if she had known him for a long time.

'Nia, this is our secret place. Don't tell anyone.' Andra's message. Sonia smiled and nodded slowly.

There was a surprise on the fifth day of the Sonia holiday. Without first notifying, Sonia's parents came to the villa early in the morning. They also brought makeup artists, party clothes, decorations, and catering. Sonia was astonished to see everything her parents had brought her. The villa that was calm, now so noisy and full of fanfare and then passed people.

'Mama... Papa... This is any event???' ask Sonia.

'Look, son, Mama and Papa have plans to introduce you to Papa's friend, Mr. Rudy and his wife. They have a son that we will marry you, Mama replied.

'Whataaa??? How sudden is it, Ma?? Why not tell Nia from yesterday?!'

'You already know, if Mama said it yesterday, you must refuse! So just jump on your vacation to this villa all ngadain event.'

'But. Maaa... Why did Papa and Mama not hear first the opinion of Nia agree or not???'

'Nia... Why do you disagree? Mama and Papa aim well to make your soul mate. You are 21 years old, never had a boyfriend. Mama and Papa also picked the right candidate. His son Mr. Rudy was handsome, pinter, and later inherited his father's business. So the family company can grow.'

'Anyway I don't want to, Ma..!! Nia doesn't know him!'

'We will eat it later we will know it! Udah, ah. You quickly take a bath, trus dandanin the same fairy. Mama wants to take care of everything to be in order and smooth the show!'

Sonia can't dodge anymore. By force, Sonia obeyed her mother's orders. After a short bath and body treatment, Sonia wore her favorite navy blue party dress. Her hair and face were as beautiful as possible. Sonia looked at her appearance in the mirror. Very pretty! But he didn't feel happy one bit. He did not want this match. He didn't know the man he was going to marry. Right now there is someone who is starting to fill his day and heart. Andra.. When thinking about Andra, suddenly the SMS entered his HP.

Andra: Nia, later in the afternoon let's go to our secret place!

Nia: Sorry. There's a family event.

By afternoon. Mr. Rudy and his wife arrive at the villa of the Sonia family. The preparations for the event were almost in order, but there was one concern. Mr. Rudy's son, named Devan, has not been confirmed to come. Sonia's parents with Mr. Rudy and his wife chatted on the villa's terrace. Sonia felt uneasy, and many times Andra sent her a message. Andra insisted on coming to the dock, but Sonia could not come due to this matchmaking event. Moreover, the afternoon sky was covered in dark cloudiness. Sonia and Andra sent each other an SMS.

Nia: Andra, just a little more. No need to go to the pier

Andra: I'm at the dock now. I'm waiting for you.

Nia: I can't, Andra…

Andra: Please, I'll wait for you to come.

Dusk arrives along with heavy rain enveloping the beach. Sonia was getting more agitated at the thought of Andra who was at the dock. He must be raining. So desperate for him! The same excitement felt by Sonia's parents and Mr. Rudy. Devan, Mr. Rudy's son really did not come and could not be contacted. Sonia doesn't care about the match. He was thankful Devan didn't come. Mr. Rudy and his wife also decided to go home to find their son. Sonia kept thinking about Andra. The rain was so heavy with lightning. The night began to show darkness. How's Andra's fate at the pier? Sonia could not hold back anymore. He took an umbrella and set off to the pier to find Andra.

'Niaaa... Where are you going? It's raining like this, son?' ask Papa and try to block Sonia.

'Nia left for a while, Pa..' Nia immediately ran in the rain still dressed in a party dress earlier. Unheeded was the cry of his mother calling out his name. No matter the rain that drenched the end of her dress. The umbrella he was carrying was unable to withstand the cold from the rain. He kept running to the dock.

Arriving at the pier, Sonia climbed up the wooden stairs. He slipped because of slippery and lack of light. In front of him faintly seen Andra sitting cold under a hollow wooden roof. Sonia's approaching Andra.

'You are absolutely crazy! Why are you here, huh?!' Sonia almost cried to see Andra's condition. He helped Andra to stand up,

'You are beautiful.' Andra smiled and looked at Sonia closely. The girl just realized, she was still wearing a dress and complete make up.

'Udah, let's go home. But your villa is far away, Ndra. We go to my villa..Your body has a fever.., ' Sonia is very panicked and worried, but Andra just smiles. Sonia leads Andra to walk. Andra's arms are coiled around Sonia's shoulders. They walked under umbrellas through the rain.

'I told you I would wait for you. Why didn't you come? What's the show?'

'Ndra... Our fate is the same? I planned to be fooled by my parents. But luckily it failed..'

'Hahaha... Who really? That's why I ran away like me.'

'No! That's not my way, Ndra! The problem is faced! Not just running away from trouble! Huu…'

A few minutes later, they reached Sonia's villa. Sonia's parents had already greeted them at the doorstep while crowding with a million questions.

'Niaaaa... Where are you from? This who? Why is it soaking wet like this?? Oh, my gosh.. Quickly change Nia clothes later you get sick…!!' Mom panicked.

'Yes, Ma. This is my friend. The villa was a bit far away, so I brought it here first, ' Sonia did not have time to explain at length. He immediately gave Andra a towel, borrowed her father's t-shirt, told her to change clothes, also prepared food, warm drinks, and fever medicine. Sonia's parents only observed her son's behavior with the man.

Sonia's mother felt that the man's face was no stranger to her. He tried to remember where he had seen the man's smile. A friendly smile and eyes that radiated warmth, but who was he?? Sonia's father felt the same way. Curious, they whispered to Sonia the identity of the man.

'Who's the guy's name, Nia?' ask Sonia's mother, of course without the knowledge of Andra who was sleeping covered on the sofa.

'His name is Andra, ' replied Sonia.

'Full name?'

'I don't know, Ma.' Sonia replied again which definitely did not satisfy her parents. While continuing to look at Andra and think, Sonia's father finally came to a surprising conclusion.

'Dad remember now! Most likely, she is Devandra, the son of Mr. Rudy!'

'Yes, God..!! That's right, Pa! Mama remembers her smile very well, even though we only met her once when visiting Mr. Rudy's house!'

'Devandra?? Devan, Mr. Rudy's son who wants to be betrothed to me? No way..!!' Sonia jerks.
