Can It Be Us?

"Ashana don't daydream.."

Ashana was slightly jumped when a hand touched her shoulder. He looked over and found Ailee already behind him. He smiles.

"No, nothing." Ashana said, covering everything with a smile.

Ailee smiled. He rubbed Ashana's shoulder. "You can find me if you need me. I will always be there for you." Sincerely speaking.

"Thank you."

Actually lately Ashana thought of something. What Achazia said five days ago interrupted his thoughts. Even to the point of being carried away by a dream.

"Why should you say that..." Ashana Mumbles. He is now helping Ailee make breakfast. Ashana should have refused, right? But somehow he couldn't say that. Ashana never slept with Achazia. And Achazia seemed to understand. He never asked Ashana to accompany him. But Ashana herself is worried, afraid that Achazia dreams as before and ends up monitoring Ashana when it is already midnight.

"Ailee, is Achazia awake?" Ask Ashana.

Ailee nodded. "Here you go, now you're taking a bath."

Ashana nodded her head many times. After everything was done, he put it on the table. Ashana and Ailee had breakfast. They only made it for Achazia.

Achazia came out of the room wearing a watch. He looked at Ashana who was getting ready to go to the office. For five days Ashana always went to the office using a taxi.

"I'm leaving Ailee.." Ashana.

Ailee smiled. "Yes, be careful on the road."

Achazia looked at Ashana. No movement of Ashana out of his sight. Even until the woman disappeared behind the door.

Achazia sighed softly. How long will Ashana be like this? The way that Achazia silenced him made Achazia almost mad. At first he was patient waiting because Adrian said maybe Ashana needs time. But the more he waited for the more he felt desperately needed the presence of Ashana.

After finishing his breakfast, Achazia left for the office. Even in the office Ashana is like that. It's just that Achazia can still ask if it's still related to work.

Ailee stared at Achazia's departure while shaking her head. "They love each other. Why do they have to be ready to start? Huh, I don't understand." Ailee said as Achazia was out of sight.

"You have to fight more! Maybe Ashana wants to see more of your struggle!" Abercio said. Achazia is now recounting how Ashana has been lately to Adrian, Abercio and Abqari.

Adrian just kept quiet while thinking about what Achazia should do, he sighed. "What if you ask him one more time?" Adrian expressed his opinion.

"You mean?" Achazia frowned.

"I mean, you talk to him. You've been waiting a long time. You need answers too." Adrian explained what he meant.

"If he refuses how?" Now Abqari is the one who said.

Achazia's view immediately changed sharply. Even the man hit the table. His three friends looked at him. "No! I'm not gonna let that happen! If he refuses I'll take it anyway."

Abercio sighed. While Adrian scratched his forehead that is not itchy. Abqari chose to drop her body onto the sofa.

"Women don't like to be treated that way." Abqari said by Adrian.

"I know how!"

Everyone was now staring at Abercio who was putting on a bright smile. "What's? How's it?" Tanya Achazia was impatient.

Abercio told me how he planned. Others listen seriously. Until Abercio finished explaining, smiles were engraved on their faces. Adrian looked at Achazia. "You can try it."

Abqari. He looked at Abercio. "It turns out you're smart, too."

Achazia smile. "I'm sure it'll work."

Andini looked at Ashana who looked uninspired. Even Ashana has been looking uninspired lately. Andini wanted to ask what was going on. But he didn't want to ask Ashana to tell him. Let Ashana tell her own story.

"You sick? Better not go to the office if it hurts." Said Andini who was worried about Ashana's state.

Ashana shakes. "No, I'm fine. Just a little lazy." Ashana said, ending with a smile.

"You want me to buy you something in the cafeteria?" Ask Andini who was responded by Ashana.

"No need, we can wait for the break." Ashana.

Andini turned her head when she heard the sound of a notification from her phone. He checked his phone, and there was a message from Adrian. As long as you know, Adrian is actually a cousin of Andini. Adrian's father is the son of Andini's mother's sister.

No one knows in the office. Even Adrian's best friend didn't know this. Because Andini won't let people know she's Adrian's cousin. The reason is because he does not want to be known on behalf of people. He wants to be known in his own name.

Adrian: Do you have time?

Andini: Why? You want to talk about something?

Adrian : Yes. It's about your best friend Ashana. Do you have time?

Andini widened both her eyes. About Ashana? What happened to Ashana? Does he have a problem with Adrian until he can stew it? But what Andini knows Ashana is not that kind of person.

Andini : There. I'll be at your house later tonight.

Adrian: No need. I'll just go to your apartment."

Andini looked at Ashana who was back moody. He sighed. What makes Ashana like this? He was very worried.

Andini raised her head as everyone stood up. He stood up when he knew what it was. He turned towards Ashana who was still at home with her daydream. Even Andini had to menoel Ashana for the woman to wake up.

"What?" Ask Ashana.

Andini gave the code using her eyes. Ashana's reflex immediately rose to his feet like the others. But his delay was already visible to Achazia.

"You." Achazia pointed at Ashana. Make everyone look at him.

Ashana pointed to herself. "Me?"

"Yes, you."

Ashana gulps her saliva. He walked over to Achazia with his head lowered. He did not look at Achazia.

"What are you doing? Shouldn't you be standing up if I'm passing by?" Cold Achazia. Not like in the apartment.

Ashana gulps her saliva. "Sorry. Next time I won't repeat my mistake." Said the woman. He cursed himself who why should daydream when Achazia was passing by.

"You know I'm not the one who can give you a second chance." Achazia said sharply and Ashana nodded. Achazia will turn out like this if it is already in the office.

'Oh my goodness, what is my fate? Lord, help me, ' said Ashana in my heart.

"After lunch, come to my room." Speak Achazia before leaving and leave the employees pity gaze for Ashana.
