Can It Be Us?
WHATISIT?

Ashana put two plates of siomay on the table. He had spoken to Achazia that he would be with Andini at lunch. Achazia also allowed it. Andini is Ashana's best friend. Achazia believed in the woman.

"What are you going to say now?" Ashana. The woman pulled out a chair and sat down.

Andini squeezed both of her hands under the table. Actually, he didn't want to say this to Ashana. But he thought again. Andini's not a fool. He will not be silent when others tell him not to talk.

"I got this message." Andini held out her phone in front of Ashana.

Ashana looked at Andini. "What's this?"

"You read it."

Ashana took Andini's phone and read a sentence that was sent an unknown number.

0812********

This whole thing is just about to start.

Ashana widened her eyes. Why exactly the same as the message that came to him. He looked at his number. Ashana hurriedly checked her phone. And it turned out to be true. The number is the same.

"What's wrong?" Andini asked when she saw Ashana so hurriedly looking at the cellphone.

Ashana looked at Andini. His face immediately pale. "Why---why is the same as the message sent to me?"

Andini widened both her eyes. He immediately snatched Ashana's phone and read a sentence sent by an unknown number. The sender's number is the same!

"Why is this so? There's no way this is misdelivering." Andini looked at Ashana. While Ashana can only massage her forehead which is suddenly dizzy. Andini touched Ashana's wrist. Ashana looked at him.

"Are you okay?"

Ashana nodded. "But, Andin. I don't understand what it means. My mind's taking me to something no-no."

Andini sighed. "My fault told you. I should have kept it to myself."

Ashana immediately shook her head. "No-no. You're good at telling me. If you don't tell him how do I know we got the same message and from the same person?"

"Indeed you wouldn't have told me if I hadn't told you?"

"Actually at first I just assumed that this number was misdelivered. But the message that came back made me believe that he didn't send it wrong. At first I didn't bother about it. I thought, but not too worried. And now seeing you show me the same message with the same sender scares me. Is there something planned?"

Andini flicked her hand. "You're thinking too much. It must be just a prankster and it just so happened that he sent it to our number. Trust me that nothing will happen. After all we have no enemies and no one will want to be hostile to us because we are good people." Andini smiled trying to comfort Ashana. Actually he was also worried but Andini did not want to make Ashana more worried if he showed his concern.

Ashana smiles. "Well, this time I'll trust you." Ashana said despite the worry in her heart.

After talking about the same message from the same number, the two spent two plates of siomay. They slip small talk while eating. From work to Ashana asking about your relationship with Abercio. He was sure there must have been something even though he didn't know it.

"Lunch time is still long. Where are you going?" Andini asked as she glanced at the watch that was coiled around her wrist.

"That's it. You're not going anywhere, are you?"

Andini nodded. After that, the two engaged in a conversation that invited laughter. They also tucked their story in High School. Recalling the memories of when they were still wearing white ash uniforms.

Ting!

"Who?" Ask Andini.

Ashana stared at the photo sent to her number. Without answering Andini's question, he immediately got up and walked quickly towards the scene.

Andini who saw Ashana's response was surprised and immediately walked over to Ashana. "You why?"

Ashana did not answer. Even his eyes did not blink. Make Andini choose silence and continue to follow Ashana.

Ashana stopped right in front of the door of Achazia's room. Andini looked at Ashana strangely. His face looks angry. Even Andini did not dare to ask when Ashana was in this state.

Ashana opened the door slowly. Very slow until no sound is heard. Andini widened her eyes when she saw Achazia hugging a woman she knew. Who doesn't know that woman? The woman is an artist who often appears on television.

"Achazia." Call Ashana lirih.

Achazia, who had her back to the door, immediately let go of her embrace with Ariana and turned to look at Ashana who was standing in the doorway with Andini.

"Ash-Ashana, it's not like you--"

Achazia's words stopped when Ashana turned around and ran away. Achazia immediately chased after Ashana but his hand was held. He violently releases Ariana's hand and runs after Ashana.

"Wait," Andini blocked Achazia's path as the man was about to run after Ashana.

"Surge," said Achazia Sharply. Even though Andini is Ashana's best friend, Andini is still his subordinate.

"It's not that I intend to get in your way, but I know how Ashana. You chasing him will only make the atmosphere worse. Let me go after him and explain to him. I'm sure you're not that kind of person. I can see you love Ashana so much." Andini. He gave a small smile.

Achazia's gaze turned pleading as Andini said that. He was holding Andini's shirt. "Can't I see him? I have to explain that's not all true."

Andini nodded. "Yes, I know. But can you give up just this time? Ashana is not someone who is easily persuaded by the person who makes her like that."

Achazia fell silent before nodding softly. "I trust you all." Achazia and Andini nodded.

"I'll go first."

Andini walked to where Ashana went. When Ashana ran away, she noticed the woman running where she was. And the rest he can ask people.

After searching for Ashana, Andini finally found the woman sitting while behind her back. His shoulders shook indicating that the woman was crying. He walked slowly. Andini also wanted to listen to what Ashana said while crying. Ashana usually likes to talk to herself when she cries.

"I know I don't deserve to be with you I realize! But it's not your right to hurt me like this. If you love her why don't you make her your lover? Why should I be your lover?"

If things are not like this Andini wants to laugh because Ashana is talking in rap style. Real quick. Ashana stopped her words when her breath was no longer strong.

"Ashana," Andini touched Ashana's shoulder until the woman turned her head. Ashana even more crying when looking at Andini.

"Andini..." Ashana Whine.

Andini sat down next to Ashana. "Relax, I'm here."
