The Cruel Destiny

FORTY-ONE

In the afternoon when Roger came home from work, the butler informed him that his father was waiting in the garden behind the mansion.

The old man had been coming home from the hospital since a few days ago, due to his already stable condition. It's just that the doctor suggested to Roger that his father not too much thought, and not let anything surprise him.

Rushing Roger to see his father, the old man was sitting on a wheelchair while looking at the orange sky on the western horizon.

"Kok Papa is still out? it's getting cold, not good for Papa's health." Roger said as he sat in the chair.

"Roger, Papa's been having some weird dreams tonight." Gibson said he did not heed the words of his son.

For a moment Roger was stunned, not usually the father wanted to see him just because of a dream case.

"What dream is it?." He also doesn't care if he's curious.

"Papa dream came to your mother, but with the look on her face when she was a girl." Gibson said with his eyes still staring straight ahead.

"But the dream is not just a sleeping flower, so there's nothing to worry about Pa." Roger comforted his Father.

It looks like Gibson sighed like he was releasing a burden on his heart.

"But Papa's feelings are suddenly unpleasant when such a dream has run out." Gibson.

"Pa, inget said the Doctor, Papa can not be much thought. I don't want Papa's condition to drop again, believe me, it's all just sleeping flowers." Roger said with a serious face.

Even though he himself actually felt uneasy in his heart.

"Yes, it might be true as you say, if it's all just a sleeping flower."

Then the father and son changed the subject, and now they are talking about business.

After feeling enough, Roger also said goodbye to his father to clean up because soon dinner time arrived.

Gibson then asked his personal servant to push his wheelchair into the mansion.

At dinner Gibson was present at the dinner table, but the food menu was different from the others.

In addition, Arion was also present there, but he preferred to focus on enjoying the food on his plate.

"Rion, when did you start the selection for the college girls' selection?." Ask Roger on the sidelines to eat it.

"Three more days Pa." Answer Arion briefly.

"Means later you can come to the opening of the mall and the playground of our company." Said Roger .

The look on Arion's face turned irritated at the words of his father.

"Why should I come with Pa? there's no point in me coming there either." Reject Arion.

"You must come to Rion, so that you are used to meeting people from business circles." Gibson said, the old man really wants to see his grandson also become a successful businessman like himself.

"Okay, Cake, I'll come to the show." Finally Arion was born.

"Don't forget to take the Shire with you." Gibson.

"Who? why use him?." Arion protested immediately.

"Why indeed? willed your future fiancee who you will later make a wife." Gibson.

"Truely said your grandfather Rion, you will take the Shire with you as well." Roger supported his father.

While Dari was just silent, he seemed to be not there.

Arion only snorted in annoyance, without saying a word he left the dining table. Though the food on her plate has not run out, but she has lost her appetite.

"Your food lion is not finished yet." Roger Tegur.

"Udah full." Reply Arion as he passed away.

Roger did not prevent any more, than he insisted that there would be a fight again. Especially there is his father whose mood must be completely guarded.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The day that was awaited by Roger also arrived, today is the opening of the mall and rides play owned by AXA group.

At around half-time, eight invited guests began to attend, as the event would begin around nine in the morning.

Roger and Tari were preparing at the mansion, they both had to look perfect like a happy married couple.

While Arion, who was half-hearted in his intention to come, went to pick up the Shire with his face bent.

"Are you ready Ma?".Roger asked his wife.

"Have Pa, are we leaving now?." Tanya Dance with a smile full of falsehoods.

Roger just nodded his head while walking towards the car that was ready in front of the mansion.

Shortly thereafter the car carrying Roger moved towards the event site, escorted by two cars containing bodyguards.

***

Arion, who had just arrived at the Shire's house, got down from the car.

A servant greeted him and led him into the house.

"Young Master, please come in." The waiter said in a polite manner.

"Can you call the Shire out, I'll just wait here." Said Arion who was reluctant to go inside.

"Sorry Young Master, but Mrs Meisya earlier told me to bring you inside." Said the waiter.

Then Arion followed the servant's steps into the house.

Until the guest room Arion was sitting on one of the sofas, his eyes scanned around the room.

Sometimes he glanced at his watch which had shown eight o'clock past, but the event began at nine and the venue was a bit far from the Shire house.

The waiter who had brought Arion back with a glass of drink.

"Please drink Young Master."

"Thank you, Ma'am can call Shirenya no, tell him a sneak." Arion said without caring about the drink in front of him.

"Well Young Master, then I call Miss Shire first." The waiter leaves Arion alone.

Not long after, footsteps came down the stairs, and the Shire walked down the stairs dressed in semi-formal clothing.

"Rionn, I'm sorry you've been waiting for her." Shire said with a sweet smile, she hoped that the man before her was captivated.

But unfortunately Arion stared with a flat face and immediately woke up while walking out.

"Rionn, wait." Shouted Shire as he rushed after Arion out, in his heart the girl felt very annoyed that she was being ignored just like that.

Until outside Arion directly into the car, and inevitably Shire also followed and sat next to the man he loved.

With a cool demeanor and a flat face, Arion drives his car to the venue. And along the way the two of them just fell silent, Shire also did not dare to ask anything and finally the woman chose to be quiet.

***

Elmira sits alone in the back garden of the Faculty, she feels a little lonely because Arion did not come to the campus.

Sitting leaning back he looked straight ahead, not knowing what was on the girl's mind.

Suddenly Felix appeared accompanied by Brady and Dafa.

"Hay El, are you here? we're looking for it from earlier." Sapa Felix's.

"Oh you guys, what's wrong with me?." Elmira asked with a smile.

"Em, do you know where Arion went today?." Felix's question seemed like he was worried about something.

Elmira nodded her head.

"Know, he said he attended an event at his Papa's office. What's wrong?." Elmira looks curious.

The three men looked at each other.

"It's okay, we just want it." Felix answered with a grin.

"We're going to the cafeteria, you want to come?." Ask Brady.

"No, I'm not coming, you three are going there." Rejecting Elmira, she felt a little strange if only being with the three of them. Besides, he was comfortable sitting there.

"If so we go first." Brady.

The three of them left Elmira alone.

Until the three men were immediately seated in their usual place.

"It seems Elmira hasn't read the news of Arion's and Shire's engagement." Felix.

"Well, if he knew it, there's no way he could be that calm." Connect Dafa.

While Brady is still focused on reading the latest news on his phone, namely the news titled AXA Group Heir Has Been Engaged.

Arion and Shire's faces, both of them smiling.

"Pity Elmira, I'm sure she must be heartbroken if Arion is engaged." Brady said, putting his phone in his bag.

"But you guys feel weird, don't you? Arion has never said anything about his engagement to the Shire, but why is there suddenly news like this?." Dafa looked at his two friends in turn.

Both of them seemed to think about Dafa's words.

"It could be the news came out first, kept the show later. Or Arion who's been hiding something from us." Felix speculated.

"Can't Arion hide such a big thing from us, can't you see if his smile in the photo looks like it's forced? that means he's in a depressed state." Said Brady who had different thoughts from his two best friends.

"Yes, and it's most likely his father." Dafa Said.

Then the three of them fell silent, dissolving in their respective thoughts.
