Can It Be Us?
TRAPPED

Ashana calls Alice to ask her if it's okay to have lunch with her. And Alice said so. He mentioned the name of a fancy restaurant near the office. Ashana is confused as to what to answer. Ashana called Alice.

"Hello brother. What's up?"

"Look Alice. Is there no other restaurant? The restaurant is too expensive. I don't have enough money to eat there." Ashana expressed her disapproval.

"No, you don't have to pay. I'll treat you to brother."

"Alice, you don't have to be like that. No need--"

"Already, Brother. I haven't seen you in a long time. So please accept this."

"It's not so Alice, but I-I--"

"The point is I don't want to know. You have to accept."

"We just need----"

Tut's.

Ashana stared at her cell phone that had been turned off unilaterally by Alice. It clucked. He did not want to make Alice's savings so reduced. Alice is not working. Ashana is not used to accepting other people's treaties.

Alice: Brother, I've been waiting at his restaurant.

Ashana breathed out. Alice is a stubborn girl. As hard as he refused, as hard as that Alice would force.

After parting ways with Andini, Ashana walked towards the restaurant Alice was referring to. The restaurant is located near the office. So he doesn't need to use public transport. His feet continued to step out of the office with his mind headed towards Achazia. For some reason wherever he was, and whenever it was, his mind was always Achazia. Although he has tried not to think too much about Achazia because later his work will fall apart. But still, Achazia always comes.

Ashana stared at the restaurant with the luxurious building that was now in front of her. He breathed before going inside.

Ashana spread her gaze looking for Alice. It was not hard because Alice already knew Ashana was coming in and waving her hand towards Ashana who Ashana replied with a small smile.

Ashana walked over to Alice. He pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Alice. "You've been waiting a long time?" Ask Ashana.

Alice shakes. "Yet. Come on, we better order some food first. Remember, I paid. Brother don't refuse. If you refuse, you'll cry here." Say the girl.

Ashana chuckles. "After all, even if I refuse, you'll still force it, right?" Said the woman who immediately got the grin of Alice.

"What do you want?" Ask Alice. The girl waved her hand calling the waitress.

"Just like your order." Ashana. He doesn't know if he has to choose his food. Already in agreement, choose anyway.

As Alice orders her food, Ashana focuses on the cell phone. He remembered Achazia, should he ask Alice for help? But he did not want to drag Alice into his troubles. If Achazia was even angry at Alice how? He also bothered. He was also confused as to how to apologize to Achazia. Should he make a surprise? Nope, no. It would definitely look disgusting in Achazia's eyes. Saying directly? What if Achazia doesn't forgive him.

"Sister,"

Ashana raised her head. "Yes?"

"What's wrong with Achazia?"

Deg.

How did Alice know? Or is it too obvious that the two of them are having problems? "Why are you asking like that?"

"When I waited in my sister's room, I asked about Ashana to my sister. Achazia changed the subject. If I were to ask about Brother Ashana, surely she would instantly switch the topic." Said Alice.

Ashana breathed out. "No, just something normal." The woman said at the end of the smile.

Alice squinted her eyes. "It looks like there's something you two are hiding. Ah, it's nothing. It's also good that I'm taking you to lunch together."

Ashana cringing. "You mean?"

"I was just going to have lunch with my sister. But seeing that there is Brother Ashana, I want to take Brother Ashana to lunch together because I miss Brother Ashana. I was going to tell my sister that Ashana's sister was coming. But every time I talk about Ashana, my sister always switches the conversation.

Ashana bit her fingernails uneasily. So Achazia's going to be here? How'this? Wouldn't it feel awkward? " Why don't you just tell me?"

"Hehe, I forgot."

Never mind, the rice has become porridge. Just wait for Achazia to come and surely awkwardness will be felt immediately. He no longer knows how to. Just follow the flow. Ashana has resigned.

"You've been waiting a long time?" Achazia and Alice asked.

"Yes, thankfully I have a friend to talk to."

"Who is he?"

'Campus!' Inner Ashana. He does not want to look. He did not look at Achazia.

Alice smiled. "This is Ashana's sister."

No response from Achazia. After a few seconds, the man immediately pulled the chair next to Alice and faced Ashana.

"I thought you were just asking me." The words of Achazia who also seemed to not want to look at Ashana. But for different reasons maybe. Ashana who did not want to look at Achazia because the man would make her heart fall apart. And Achazia did not want to look at Ashana because of Ashana's mistake at that time. According to Ashana.

"I was just taking my sister. But I met Ashana instead, so I had lunch together. I miss him, so I took him."

"Have you ordered food?" Speak Achazia as he would not listen further.

Alice nodded. "It."

Ashana listened to the conversation of these sisters behind her focus she played the mobile phone. Actually, the phone is quiet, nothing. It was just an Ashana diversion rather than having to listen to their chat openly.

Ashana is very grateful to the waitress who came to deliver the order. He wants to eat quickly and get out of here. After the waiter served food, the three immediately ate food without any chat at all. Alice who sensitized something happening between Ashana and Achazia had an idea. He stood up.

"Where are you going?" Ask Achazia.

"I'll go to the bathroom for a minute."

Ashana bit her lower lip. So Alice will leave him alone with Achazia? How'this?

*ashana

Andin, how is this... I'm stuck here.

Andini

Why indeed?

Ashana

Know it? Alice didn't take me. But also take Achazia. And now Alice goes to the bathroom. Stay with Achazia both. How'this?

Andini

Substantial. Looks like Alice is aware that you're not okay with Achazia. So he gave you time to finish it. That's why he went to the bathroom.

Ashana

Then what should I do?

Andini

You took advantage of the opportunity Alice had given you. Apologize now.

Ashana

Aish, I haven't had any preparations.

Andini

Apologizing there must be preparation. You're this.

Ashana looked at Achazia who was focusing on eating her food. That's true too Andini said. It's time to apologize. But how?
