The Line of Destiny Iriana
The Black Rose Tattoo

The gaze of everyone, including the lecturer who taught was now on Iriana who entered the classroom without knocking on the door.

It was not a new thing for them but somehow the arrival of Iriana always attracted the attention of others even though in a way that is not right as it is today.

Ignoring the gazes of the many pairs of eyes that were staring at her, Iriana immediately headed towards her bench and immediately sat down beside Jessica.

" Where have you been?" whispered Jessica slightly closer to Iriana.

" Work." Briefly solid and clear that was Iriana's answer.

Jessica looked at him with a look of disbelief, knowing the fact that an Iriana worked it out for him was quite surprising, how not? the wealth that his friend just has is very much and he still wants to work?

" Where do you work?" his question was to make sure that what he had just heard was the truth.

" The Marley Company."

" Victor's company?"

" Hm."

" As?"

" Secretary Victor."

" What!" cry Jessica who is too hard until the gaze of her classmates leads to her.

While the lecturer who was teaching was only able to stroke his chest, he had to be extra patient teaching in Iriana's classroom, wanting to be angry but not daring to remember the campus where he worked was under the auspices of Taomasa.

Iriana rubbed her ears buzzing from Jessica's screams.

" You think it's a forest!" her sarcophagus stared intently at Jessica then turned to look at her lecturer.

" Just go on Miss, no need to pay attention to us!" word's cold.

The lecturer nodded in understanding and then resumed his learning, as well as students/i who also returned to focus on the explanation of their lecturer.

" Have you lost your mind, why just be a secretary" Jessica said.

Iriana simply shrugged both of her shoulders indifferently in response.

" O God, I really don't understand you, what do you really want, God has given you an abundance of treasure and now you just work and just become a secretary?" jessica did not think.

" I'm rich, I work, why don't you take it?" Iriana glanced sinisterly at Jessica, her hands folded in front of her chest as if challenging Jessica.

" Huft is up." resigned Jessica returned to focus on the lecturer who was explaining.

Iriana smiled with satisfaction at the sight of her chatty female friend silencing her words.

The reason Iriana does not want to be friends with a woman is because for her female friends are complicated, two-faced, spoiled, troublesome and one of them is too much to talk, for example like this Jessica.

Having one female friend has made him dizzy and troubled, especially if there are three tails, it can be ascertained if he will mumet.

Today's class is over, Iriana and Jessica decide to go to the campus cafeteria first to fill the stomachs of those who have been struggling to fill.

" Where are Victor and Barack? why not come in today?" jessica asked on the sidelines of her activities to enjoy her food.

" Barack left for a business trip this morning, Victor has a job at his company today" she said.

Jessica nodded in understanding and no longer asked any questions to Iriana.

The voice of Iriana's mobile phone broke the silence that had been created, his hand immediately checked the short message that had just entered his phone and it turned out to be from Victor who gave the news that the man was going abroad for three days.

Iriana's face immediately changed, her breathing sounded rough in Jessica's ears but she chose to be silent because asking was not necessarily answered by Iriana.

While Iriana sighed rough not because sad or unwilling to be left behind by Victor, but if Victor left then Grandpa Taomasa would put spies and bodyguards who would follow him wherever he went.

For him it was very excessive and made him restrained, Iriana prefers if the one who guards only Victor and Barack, at least the two men he can still persuade with various kinds of cunning tricks.

The life that Iriana lived all this time was indeed quite complicated, The two parents who seemed to not care about her until she disappeared without news until now, both parents who did not care about her, plus Grandpa and Grandma's extremely possessive attitude towards him.

Not to mention his two best friends who are always on the side of Taomasa and Lily when it comes to his safety.

Iriana often felt that the people around her had secrets hidden from her, especially regarding her parents.

The attitude of Taomasa and Lily who do not like if Iriana asked about Robert and Rabecca caused suspicion in the beautiful girl, so she decided to investigate her parents herself.

The first step is to work for Victor's company, when she is under Victor's supervision, she can still hire people to find information about her parents without Taomasa and Lily's knowledge because they have entrusted Iriana's security completely to Victor.

Unlike if Iriana is under the supervision of Taomasa and Lily directly because it is certain that the slightest movement he did will be discovered by Grandpa and his Grandma.

Iriana's daydream was caved in when Samuel boldly came to her and sat right beside her.

Iriana did not reply, her eyes straight on Jessica's face bowed in front of her, without saying anything she immediately got up and walked away regardless of the screams of Samuel and Jessica who kept calling her name.

Arriving at the gate, Iriana's eyes caught the figure of a middle-aged man who was Victor's father staring at her.

" Uncle Justin?" harry approaches Justin Marley.

" Hay Ana." Justin replied.

" Uncle looking for Victor? but he didn't go to college today." asked Iriana politely, although she was a bar-bar but she still had manners when talking to an older person.

" No, Uncle didn't come here to find the boy, he told me he was going abroad this afternoon" Justin said.

" Well, what do you need uncle to come to the college? is there a problem?" ask Iriana.

" Uncle's here because he wants to pick you up."

" Huh pick up Ana?"

" Yes uncle there's a need with your Grandpa and he asked uncle to pick you up."

" Oh so, sorry to bother uncle." said Iriana felt bad.

" Of course not, let's go in a little later in the evening we have to go home soon." His word opened the door for Iriana, making the girl feel even more uneasy but she just kept quiet and got in the car.

Justin began to drive his luxury car towards the big house, it did not take long for him to get there, He and Iriana immediately went down and stepped into the big house.

" Mister." Say hello to Justin while looking down respectfully as Taomasa has stood up to welcome his arrival and Iriana.

" Grandpa's coming with Ana for a while, there's something Ana wants to talk about."

" Justin sit down first, I'll be back." Taomasa's decree allowed Justin to sit down and then step away with Iriana.

They stopped when they got to the stairs.

" Grandpa why ask Uncle Justin to pick Ana up."

" Leave it why?" tanya Taomasa flat.

" Anna feels bad for him, why doesn't Opa understand."

" Why do you have to feel bad?"

" Had Grandpa been such a bitch!." murmured Iriana then turned up the stairs to her room with her legs deliberately stomped.

Taomasa smiled as he shook his head slowly at the annoyance of his granddaughter, he went back to meet Justin to talk about some important things.

That night, Taomasa, Lily, Iriana and Justin who had not returned home were gathered in the dining room for dinner together.

" Grandpa." Call Iriana between her meals.

" Hm." only Deheman Taomasa gave in response because his mouth was busy chewing his wife's roast.

" Ana made a Tattoo" hearing the word Tattoo from Iriana's mouth made everyone stop her food activities.

Taomasa, Lily and Justin looked at each other then simultaneously turned their eyes towards Iriana who was still focused on cutting meat.

" What tattoo?" tanya Taomasa was cold.

" The same tattoo that belonged to Grandpa and Victor, the angel wings because many say that Ana was like...."

Brakes

Iriana's words were cut off as Taomasa stood up while pounding the dining table, her face looking extremely horrifying, showing anger that Iriana had never seen before.

Glug

" Grandpa why?" he was nervous after swallowing the meat in his mouth, his eyes glanced at Lily and Justin who were also looking at him sharply.

" What part of your body do you make tattoos on?" taomasa's jaw, which already had a thin creasing line, hardened, his hands clenched waiting for Iriana's reply.

" In the nape of Ana's neck" answered Ana stammered.

Lily immediately got up when she saw Taomasa was about to approach Iriana, her steps halted right beside her grandson's chair.

Lily's hand was raised to flick Iriana's hair forward, her originally sharp eyes began to weaken when she saw Iriana's Tattoo that turned out to be different from her husband's.

Taomasa and Justin who had also seen Iriana's Tattoo which turned out to be a black rose and not an angel's wing could breathe with relief.
