Can It Be Us?
MORE THAN EGO

Ashana immediately hugged Andini as her best friend spread out her arms. Ashana's cry broke in Andini's arms. As for Andini, the woman was waiting for the right moment to explain everything to Ashana.

"Why? Why is he doing this?" Isaac Ashana.

"He who? Did what?"

"You saw it yourself. Don't pretend you don't know." Ashana.

Andini rubbed Ashana's mane gently. "Are you sure it's Achazia?"

Ashana raised her face. He looked at Andini with a face that had been flooded with tears. "Who else is Achazia? Abercio?"

The smile that had been imprinted on Andini's face instantly faded away. "Don't switch the conversation."

Ashana clucking. "Andini I'm sure your vision is still normal. You can't possibly not recognize Achazia. Achazia hugged the woman. Achazia hugged him--"

"Hey, relax. Don't be rash. Are you sure that's Achazia's wish?"

"Then if it wasn't Achazia's wish who else would it be?"

"You're sure that's not the woman's wish?"

Ashana frowned. "You mean Ariana?" Who does not know Ariana? Artists who are busy in the discussion because they have played many films. This year is Ariana's year.

Andini nodded. "Are you sure this is Achazia's wish? Not the woman's wish?"

"No way Ariana. She's a good girl. I've seen her on television and she---"

"Hey, Ashana. It was on television. All artists will also always look good in front of the media. If it's behind him, we don't know."

Ashana. It is true what Andini said. He only knew Ariana when she was on television. In the original life Ashana did not know about Ashana.

"What is the right possibility?" Ashana wiped her tears. He tried to calm himself. Ashana tries to lower her ego in order to trust Achazia.

"Achazia doesn't do that. Maybe Ariana likes Achazia."

"But I've never seen the media report that they're close."

"Maybe Ariana just liked Achazia now?" Andini tried to think of the possibilities that could save Achazia.

"Let down your ego. Ask Achazia why she did it and listen to her explanation. You wouldn't have accepted Achazia's explanation if you still thought Achazia was the wrong one."

Ashana reaffirms Andini's words. "Then how should I do?"

"You calm down?" Andini slipped a few strands of hair blocking Ashana's face behind her ears.

Ashana nodded. "Lumayan."

Andini smiled. "Take it easy and talk about it. Lunch time will be over soon. Do you want to go to work or just go home?" Ask Andini.

"I'll just keep working."

"It's okay?" Ask Andini with a worried face.

"I'm fine. I can still focus."

"All right then." They both walked to work. Although Ashana's feelings are still chaotic, at least her feelings are slightly improved because of Andini's entertainment that says that maybe it is not Achazia's will. Yeah, it might be.

Ashana does all her work well. After a long wait, he glanced at the clock and then smiled. It's time to go home. Andini went home first. Andini said that her brother wanted to meet her and talk about something important.

"Ashana, man,"

"Yes? What's up?"

"Come home with me?"

Ashana scrunched her forehead. Achazia asked? This is not an order like usual? He looked at Achazia who was waiting for an answer. Without opening Ashana's mouth answered him with a nod.

Just a nod from Ashana could make Achazia instantly smile broadly. "Come,"

Ashana allowed Achazia to walk first with Ashana's silence. But Achazia was insensitive, making Ashana cluck and then walk first and end Achazia who walked after him.

"Are you going to have lunch at home?" Ask Achazia and Ashana nods.

"Do you want to have lunch with me today?" Achazia asked again when the two were already in the elevator.

Ashana. He knew Achazia was trying to approach him in a way that did not upset him. Ashana believed that if Achazia had done this, Achazia would not have done so. If Achazia wanted it, Achazia would have preferred Ariana instead of persuading Achazia. Thinking about it made Ashana smile a little.

"What's so funny?"

"Huh?" Ashana looked at Achazia who had just made a sound.

"You just smiled. Is there anything funny?" Ask Achazia.

"Nothing," But Ashana smiled again. Making Achazia glance in all directions while inside the elevator there were only the two of them.

Arriving at the parking lot Achazia directly into the car. Before entering the man let Ashana enter by opening the car door for Ashana. Ashana who received it with a flat countenance did not make Achazia discouraged. It's still a good thing Ashana wants to be brought home.

"What do you want to eat?" Ask Achazia when she does her car.

"As far as you go."

Achazia sighed. Ashana's always been like this. When asked what the answer is up to. But when he takes it to the restaurant, Ashana will immediately comment that the food is too expensive. He said it was up to him, but when he was selected, he commented. Achazia actually wanted to say that. But he is aware of the situation. The one with Ashana will be even more angry with him. Just now he hasn't explained it to Ashana.

The journey to one of the restaurants was silent as both of them were silent. Achazia who was afraid of mispronunciation and Ashana who would not speak before Achazia explained. Actually Ashana wanted to ask first why, but she was too prestigious for that. He also told Andini and Andini said, Achazia will explain it. Andini was sure of that, which is why Ashana believed.

"We've arrived."

Ashana just nodded. He opened his seat belt. Ashana's hand stretched out to open the car door but ended up floating in the air because Achazia first opened the car door for her.

"You don't have to do that." Ashana's out of the car. He confirmed the location of his bag.

Achazia smile. "It's okay, come on." Achazia extended her hand.

Ashana understood what Achazia meant. "I'll walk by your side." Ashana who rejected Achazia.

Achazia sighed. This time he cannot force. It can't make Ashana even more upset with him.

"Come," Achazia put both her hands into her pants pocket and they both walked in tandem into the restaurant.

Ashana wants to laugh. Must be Achazia thinks that he is still upset because of the incident earlier. Though not like that. Ashana just wants to see how Achazia struggles to apologize to her whether it was her fault or not.

After sitting down, Achazia ordered a meal. He asked Ashana what she wanted to eat, and Ashana said anything. So Achazia ordered Ashana's favorite meal. And not the food that Ashana doesn't like.

"Ashana," Call Achazia when the man has ordered food.

Ashana. He responded by raising one of his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry,"
