Can It Be Us?
NOT CONFIDENT

Ashana held her face with both hands. This was the third day after Achazia threw him out of the man's room. Ashana takes a breath. Somehow it felt weird when Achazia thought it didn't exist. Even Achazia did not greet him if he met. Let alone say hello, just glance no. Making Ashana panic on her own. He didn't want Achazia to be like that. Looking at Achazia now is like looking at Achazia first. Before Ashana knew him. Before the man fell in love with her.

Andini who saw Ashana daydreaming immediately poked the woman's chin which made Ashana look at him. Andini raised one eyebrow. "Why again? Why daydream?" Ask Andini.

Ashana takes a breath. He will tell Andini everything. There is no point in keeping it alone. After all, he would not be able to keep anything secret from Andini. "Andini, why is this so complicated..." Ashana. He won't tell me now. He still realized it was working hours. Lunch time is any minute. He will tell it later.

"What's so complicated?" Andini did not understand.

"I'll tell you everything when it's lunchtime. We'll have lunch while listening to my story." Ashana, who is a member of Andini. Then after that both of them were busy on the computer screen.

After each other's work, although not completely finished, the two chose to have lunch. Lunch hours started a few minutes ago. But both of them chose to do the work for a while.

"Come on Andini.." Ashana, who is a member of Andini. After Andini finished, the two walked together towards the canteen.

"Andin," Call Ashana and Andini turns.

"Yes?"

"Do you think I'm a worthy person?"

Andini. "You mean?"

"You know I'm just a fruit-seller who's getting a yang---friend"

"Ashana, how many times have I told you, I don't care about it. We are both human anyway. Nothing to be distinguished. You are my best friend. And forever will always be."

Ashana takes a breath. "I always instilled that in me. But that self-confidence always comes. Wake me up if I don't deserve it."

"You're this. Only the ancient people cared about caste. Come Ashana, remember what century we live in. If you still care about caste, you better just live in ancient times."

Ashana chuckled at the tone of Andini's voice that sounded annoyed. Surely, surely Andini will be upset if Ashana has brought up the caste differences between them. This is the reason why Ashana is so happy to have Andini in her life.

"So I beg you now, throw away that distrust of yours. Everyone deserves to be happy. Not just because of this you so intercept your happiness coming. Just be careful if you bring that back. I won't hesitate to match you up with a rich man." Said Andini who ended with a threat. Instead of being afraid, Ashana laughed at hearing that.

"All right, I'll try.."

"Don't try! but I have to do." Said Andini who was nodded to Ashana along with the oddity.

It did not feel like the two had entered the canteen area. After buying food, they looked for an empty seat. The cafeteria wasn't too full, so it wasn't hard for the two of them to find an empty spot.

"Then, what do you want to tell me?" Say Andini when her ass is right on the chair.

Ashana smiles. "Before that, I'll say something that will surely surprise you."

"What's that?" Ask Andini.

"You know why Achazia made me his assistant?"

Andini nodded. "Yes, uh but--I still don't understand. If the reason Achazia made you his assistant was because it was to cancel the matchmaking that his mother did, why not just make you his girlfriend?" The real Andini said from the beginning was eager to ask about this.

Ashana shrugged both of her shoulders. "I don't understand either. Back to the initial topic. You already know the reason so I don't have to explain it to you anymore. You want to know who's the woman Achazia's been dating?" Ashana. Her voice was deliberately shrinking as she entered the last sentence. He moved his head closer.

"Andini Bea Cadreyn."

Hearing his name mentioned directly makes both Andini's eyeballs rounded. Reflexes, the woman rewinds her face. "You mean?" Andini still does not believe.

Ashana nodded. "Yes, the woman Achazia will marry is you Andini." Said the woman.

"But-but-but how can it?"

Ashana shrugged both of her shoulders. "Don't know. Mommy Achazia said it at the time. When I play at his house. You know that, right? Which I told you. But I didn't tell you this."

Andini sighed. He even massaged his temple like he was thinking of something. "My parents are crazy. They even set me up with someone without my knowledge. They think I'll agree?"

Right, it's true Ashana's guess. Andini will not agree. Even Andini will not hesitate to refuse the match if indeed he does not like it.

"But the matchmaking has failed, right?"

Ashana nodded. "Yes, failed. Since Mommy Achazia found out that Achazia has a boyfriend."

"Good, I don't want to be told friends eat."

"You mean?"

"And you like Achazia." Andini said with a smile.

"Who said?" Ashana turned her face the other way. Hiding the red hue that suddenly appeared.

Andini looked at Ashana with a smile. Want to be hidden anyway, Andini already knows it. "Here you go, don't be embarrassed like that. Your moves have explained everything to me. Don't dodge Ashana anymore. I know you like Achazia." Andini said that makes Ashana no longer need to hide. But he remains ashamed.

"Do I think I deserve it?"

"You mean?"

"You know Achazia is a big director at this company. Do I deserve to love him?"

"Why are you? What is inappropriate. You're so deserving. Even I think you're very compatible." Andini said in support of Ashana's decision. As long as his best friend is happy, he will always support him.

"I love her, Andini." Ashana said softly.

"Yes, yeah, yeah. I've known it a long time ago. Your face says that you're staring at Achazia." Andini. Though this is all thanks to Adrian who said everything at that time.

"Fight him, Ashana. You deserve to be happy. Besides, if you're still attached to caste, when are you gonna be happy?"

Ashana justifies Andini's speech. If he cares about caste, when will he be happy? Mommy Achazia doesn't mind that, anyway. He will even help her. Alice too.

"Remember Ashana. Whatever decision you make, I will always support you." Andini made Ashana smile. Now he will do what he should.
