Running back from such systems, ikebana meets its destiny (6)

I believe the answer is:

kismet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'destiny' is the definition.
(kismet is a kind of destiny)

'running back from such systems ikebana' is the wordplay.
'running back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'temsik' can be found hidden inside 'such systems ikebana'.
'temsik' reversed gives 'KISMET'.

'meets its' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
