#3 Second Meet
"How's your college business, going well?" The man asked Ishana as they were in the dining room with a middle-aged woman there.
Ishana nodded her head slowly.
"It's going well, the day after tomorrow is the first day of college." The girl said.
"When will you be able to call us dad and mom Ishana? Can't you think of us as your parents?" The woman asked Ishana.
Hearing that, Ishana immediately stopped her activities.
She put down the spoon and fork that were in her hands and looked at the two people in front of her.
"Sorry." The girl said briefly and then resumed eating.
The man and woman just looked at each other.
"We won't force you, kid, the important thing is, whatever problems you face you can tell us. Think of us as your parents." The man said.
Ishana just nodded while showing her little smile.
"Oh yes, the day after tomorrow I have a reunion event with my high school friends, then we agreed to bring our children, can you come with you?" The woman said to Ishana.
Ishana was about to refuse, she did not like such events at all, but when she saw the woman's face, she could not refuse.
Reluctantly, she nodded her head.
The woman immediately showed her happy face.
"Thank you, dear. You are indeed a good girl." The woman said.
"What time is the event?" Ishana asked.
"It's at 5 pm, at XXXX restaurant. Can you make it?"
"Mmmmm I can."
"Alright, let's go together. It'll be less hassle."
Ishana just nodded her head.
"Already, let's eat first. You keep talking to Ishana, she won't be able to eat later." The man said.
"Ehhhh, I just asked that question, Ishana just doesn't have a problem with that, right?" The woman asked Ishana.
Ishana nodded her head as she smiled at the small argument between the two people.
Ishana had often witnessed things like this happen, according to the girl, things like this were moments that could make the relationship between them even closer.
About fifteen minutes later, the three had finally finished eating.
Now the plates in front of them were empty and there was nothing left.
"Is tonight's food good dear?" The woman asked Ishana.
Ishana nodded slowly.
"It's really good, aunty cooked it."
"Ishana says it's good because she's afraid you'll get mad, actually it's just normal." Said the man.
Ishana could only smile a little at the man's words.
"You're just asking for trouble, I wonder"
"What I said was right, is there something wrong?"
"that's enough, I'm lazy to debate with you. Let's just go there, let's leave him here alone. No need to accompany him."
Ishana nodded and followed the woman.
Now they were gathered in the living room.
They were always like that every night.
Always taking a minute to chat and tell each other what they had experienced today and if there was anything funny that happened.
This brought them closer and got to know each other better, although Ishana mostly stayed quiet and listened to the stories of the two.

"I heard there will be a race here too Ska, is it okay if we race here too?" Andre asked Aska.
"Who wants to race in this place but us?" Aska asked.
"I don't know the name, I just know that they are a motorcycle gang but they are girls," Andre said.
Aska then smiled a little.
"All you have to do is say that we want to race here too, and the problem will be solved."
"So what if they insist on racing here? After all, they wanted to race here in the first place."
"Just kick them out, easy. You know, we never give in to any motorcycle gang, especially a gang of spoiled girls."
"But...."
"I don't want to know, but we have to race here tonight," Aska said.
Andre was silent, he knew that there was no point in fighting the man's words because Aska would never give in no matter what.
All he could do was obey her words.
After the conversation, suddenly a group of motorbikes came and stopped right in front of the two men.
Aska and Andre looked at each other.
"Who?" Aska asked Andre.
Andre just shrugged his shoulders.
The man also looked confused.
"I don't know. Are they a gang of girls who want to race here?" Andre said.
The men began to get off their bikes one by one.
Aska focused on one of the groups.
She saw someone in the front row.
The person started to take off his helmet, and when Aska saw who it was, she was as surprised as he was to see it in front of him.
"You!"
"You!" Aska and Ishana said simultaneously.
"Do you know him Sya?" Asked Syifa~ Ishana's friend.
*Sya is Ishana's nickname
"Nope. Who would want to know a guy like that." Ishana said.
"So? Why were you both so surprised when you met?"
"I don't know," Ishana said in denial.
Aska began to step closer to Ishana and her friends.
"So you and your friends want to race here?" Aska asked to the point.
"Yes, so what, is it a problem for you?"
"Hmmm no need like that, you can relax," Aska said.
"Then what do you want? No need to talk too much, just get to the point."
"Hmmm okay, so here goes. Later my friends and I want to race here too, so you all can't race here." Aska said.
Ishana laughed out loud at Aska's words.
Aska furrowed her brow when she saw the reaction of the girl in front of her.
"Why are you laughing? is there something funny?"
"Hahaha you're funny you know, you're not anyone but you can just tell us to cancel the race here. Who are you, our ancestors?"
"You're a girl, not good for racing like this, you should be at home, sleeping, cooking, cleaning the house, or if not playing with barbie doll there," Aska said and immediately laughed quite loudly which was followed by Andre too.
"Heh, do you think girls can only do that? And one more thing, are you saying this is dangerous for us? Do you think this kind of racing isn't dangerous for you great guys?" Ishana said, not to be outdone by Aska.
"You are, every time I meet you, you always make a problem," Aska said while looking at Ishana with her sharp gaze.
"And you're also always looking for trouble when you meet me."
"you are a very annoying woman"
"you are also a very annoying man."
"Arhhhhhh. I'll go crazy if I talk to you for a long time, you know."
"I can also go crazy if I talk to you for a long time, even just seeing your face makes me crazy."
"Arhhhhhh good thing you're a girl."
"So if I were a girl, what would the problem be with you? You don't accept it?"
"I don't care, what you want to say I don't care, what is clear is that now you and your friends are leaving here, my friends are already here."
"What if I don't want to? What do you want?"
"Can't you just obey what I say? Don't fight me all the time."
"I can't, I was born to contradict everything you say," Ishana said.
Aska was already at the peak of her emotions.
Andre, who knew that Aska could do anything if she was emotional, immediately tried to restrain the man.
"Ka... ka... It's okay. Let's not make a fuss anymore. Let it go." Andre said to Aska.
"This girl can't be ignored, Dre, she's been pestering us all day," Aska said.
"up to me, how come you're upset," Ishana said while throwing away her eyeballs lazily.
"You see for yourself how annoying this girl is. You know how it makes me feel."
"Ok Aska, we better find another place, let them stay here. We'll just give in."
"That's right, learn from your friend. He knows that you and your friends can't race here, but you insist on staying here." Ishana said.
"Already Na, you don't need to get angry with him again," Syifa said to Ishana.
"Well, you listen to your friends too, you don't have to get mad at people, right!" Aska said.
Ishana immediately looked at Aska sharply.
Aska, who did not want to lose, also stared at the girl with her sharp gaze.
They were now staring at each other.
The gazes they gave seemed to hold hatred for each other.
Meanwhile, Syifa and Andre who had tried to calm their respective friends but failed could only remain silent.
They did not dare to open their voices again because it would make the two people even more heated.
Perhaps silence was the right thing to do at the moment.
I don't know what happened to those two people, Syifa and Andre didn't want to bother anymore.
Just let them solve their problems.
That's much better.
