Can It Be Us?
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALICE?

Achazia blinked her eyes a few times as she felt the sunlight enter through the vents. He sat down and looked in all directions. The man remembered that he was staying here.

Achazia grabbed the blanket that was half her body. It was cold last night. Even Achazia to lower the temperature of the air conditioning.

"You awake?" Achazia looked at Adrian who was busy struggling in the kitchen. He smiled when he saw the man wearing an apron.

"What do you think if I don't wake up in the morning, what will you eat?" Reply Adrian.

"We can order food." Achazia walked over to Adrian and sat down at the pantry table.

"Breakfast is a good homemade treat. It's healthier."

"Do you think food in restaurants like that isn't healthy?"

"I'm not saying that food is unhealthy. It's just that if we make it, more assured his health."

"What are you cooking?" Achazia walked over to Adrian and grabbed the man by the shoulder.

"Fried rice. You want another breakfast?"

Achazia. "No, I eat anything."

"Then you have breakfast outside."

Achazia raised a sharp gaze while Adrian casually stirred his homemade fried rice. Achazia walked back and sat in a chair.

"I thought I was the first one to wake up."

Achazia and Adrian turned to the source of the voice. Abqari walked up to them.

"Abercio hasn't woken up?"

"You're like the one who doesn't know him. His unconsciousness during sleep is very strong. Not even an alarm will work." Abqari. It was true, among them, Abercio was the one who liked sleep the most.

"You better take a shower first. After that you've just had breakfast." Adrian.

"Are you not taking a shower?" Reply Abqari.

"You don't see me? I'm ready with my office suit." The four of them did store some items here and one of them was a shirt. Even their clothes are a lot of here. Be it a suit or something.

"Alright, alright. I'll take a shower first." Abqari grabbed Achazia by the neck and pulled the man back into the bathroom and took a shower.

Just now Adrian was calm for a few minutes, came Abercio with a pillow face.

Adrian took a breath. "Have you taken a shower?"

"I just woke up." Abercio sat down at the place Achazia had been sitting. "Is the other person awake?"

"You're the last person to wake up. The others are taking a shower."

Abercio widened both his eyes. "really? I tried to get up first."

"You should try again later. Already, now you're taking a shower. We just had breakfast. After that we go to each other's offices."

With a heavy heart Abercio got up and walked back to the room. He wanted to have breakfast before taking a shower. But yes, of course, than later the others are ready he has not at all.

Achazia and Abqari finished their baths faster because they were the first. Now Achazia, Abqari and Adrian are sitting at the dining table waiting for Abercio to finish.

"You waiting for me?"

The three men turned to the source of the voice. Abercio walked over while wiping his wet hair.

The fourth one was then breakfast. After breakfast, they get ready to go to their offices. Achazia is now standing at the door of his car. If you pick up Ashana first, it will take a lot of time. But it doesn't matter to him. He's gonna call Ashana.

"Hello Ashana, are you ready?"

"Who is what?"

A prickly smile rose on Achazia's face. "What do you think you're ready for if I ask this early in the morning? You think I'm asking if you're ready for me to marry you? Ashana, whenever I'm ready----"

"You're! I asked seriously!"

Achazia chuckled at the upset tone from the woman. He guessed Ashana's face was now flushed. "Alright, alright. Are you ready to pick me up? Don't be like yesterday, I'll pick you up for breakfast."

There was no response from Ashana. Make Achazia frown and then stare at the screen of his phone. Still connected. "Ashana?"

"Y-yes?"

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Tanya Achazia started to worry. From Ashana's response, he could read it.

"Nope-no. Mm. Today you don't have to graze me." Ashana said nervously.

"Why? Are you in the office?" Achazi narrows his phone between his shoulder and ear and opens the car door and enters.

"Yes, I'm already in the office."

"Who are you going to the office with?"

"I'm not among anyone. I'm taking public transportation."

Achazia. "I told you, if it's not urgent, you should go to the office with me."

"Yes, I know Achazia. But suddenly Alice called me and wanted to see me. He asked me to come early to the office and he'll meet me at the office."

Achazia. He wears a seat belt. "Alice? What's wrong with her?" As she remembered at night the girl was still fine.

"I don't know either. Early in the morning he called me and asked me to come early. From his usual voice. But he might have a problem. Did he not tell you?"

Achazia. "No, maybe because I'm a man and he's more comfortable telling stories with his fellow women."

"Mommy?"

"Maybe Alice has a reason why she didn't tell mommy. Now you've met him?"

"Yet. I was waiting for him in the office cafeteria. I called him and he said he was on his way."

"If there's anything you tell me right away."

"Okay captain."

Achazia. "I'm closing, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

After closing the call, Achazia immediately took his car to the company. The four of them work in different companies. So don't wait for each other. Achazia saw that Adrian had left first.

"Hopefully Alice has no serious problems." Achazia. Actually the man was astonished. What was Alice going through until the girl wanted to tell Ashana? From childhood Alice used to tell all her problems to Achazia. She shared it with Achazia so that her brother could help her. Without exception, even now Alice is still like that. But somehow Alice suddenly wanted to tell Ashana. Achazia doesn't really care about that. It is even good that Ashana is closer to the person she loves. He was only worried that the matter was too serious.

"Alice is an adult, she won't make trouble again like a child. Yeah, Alice's a grown-up." Achazia said that many times to convince himself. Inexplicably the sudden bad premonition instantly made him think negatively. But he tried to convince himself that everything would be fine.
