#8 Ishana's Boyfriend
"There he is." The woman continued.
Everyone in the place immediately followed the direction of Susan's gaze, as did Ishana.
When Ishana saw who the person who was now the center of their spectacle was, she immediately fell silent.
"You!"
"You!" Ishana and that person said at the same time.
Ishana and that person were both surprised to see each other.
That person was Aska, more precisely Askara Mahavir Adyatma.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Aska.
"Well, yourself what are you doing here?"
"Do you know each other?" Susan asked Ishana and Aska.
"We've only met once aunt, we don't know each other at all," Ishana said.
"She's the girlfriend I told mom about. Why are you so shy?" Aska said suddenly.
Ishana who heard Aska's words immediately looked at the man.
Her sharp eyes seemed to be asking what she meant.
Aska did not care at all, the man immediately stepped on his feet and approached Abyn and Leni.
"Hello uncle, auntie. My name is Aska. Askara Mahavir Adyatma. I am Ishana's boyfriend." The man said politely while taking Abyn and Leni's hands in turn.
Abyn and Leni couldn't say anything at all.
The two people just exchanged glances with each other.
Happp...
Aska suddenly wrapped her arms around the girl's waist.
Ishana was about to resist, but the girl immediately fell silent when she heard the whisper of the man beside her.
"You just follow what I say. I don't want to be matched. Remember our agreement, so don't be opposed." Aska said.
Upon hearing the word matchmaking, Ishana immediately recalled what Leni had said a while ago when the woman had said she wanted to set her up with her friend's son.
Maybe if she followed this man's way of playing, she wouldn't have anything to lose either.
"So you guys are dating?" Abyn asked again.
Ishana looked at Aska who was still embracing her intimately.
Aska just nodded her head slightly while looking at the girl with a flat gaze.
"Mmmmm ye... yes uncle. He's my boyfriend." Ishana said nervously.
"So the girl you said was your girlfriend is Ishana, dear?"
"Yes mom, she is Ishana. That's why I said I wouldn't want to be matched. I love Ishana." The man said as he smiled flirtatiously at Ishana.
"What a coincidence. Your aunt and mom had already agreed to set you two up. Yesterday we were afraid that you wouldn't want to."
"What?" Aska and Ishana said together.
Both of them looked equally shocked.
"Yes. I thought Ishana would refuse because she told me she already has a boyfriend, and it turns out he's your's son. So there's no need to bother introducing them again." Leni said.
Susan and Leni looked very happy.
Meanwhile, Aska and Ishana were silent.
They still couldn't get over the fact that the person their parents wanted them to marry was the one who played the role of their fake boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Emmm mom, uncle, and aunty, Ishana and I want to go around first. It's normal for people who are dating." Aska said.
Ishana immediately elbowed the man's stomach.
"How come you hit me anyway. It hurts."
"Yes, why did you hit Aska, dear? I feel sorry for him." Said Leni who even defended Aska.
"Mmmmm... sorry," Ishana said in a low, almost inaudible voice.
"It's okay. If you hit me, I'll just accept it. Because I really love you."
Fuck I'm really disgusted to hear that. this kid is too good at drama. I'm very unclean to hear that. Ishana said to herself.
"Come on, let's go there. You must be uncomfortable dating in front of our parents."
"Hehehhehehe, yes."
"Alright, we go there first, mom, uncle, and auntie."
"Hahahha, how young. I'll leave Ishana to you Aska. don't let anything happen to my child"
"It's safe aunt, as long as Ishana is next to Aska, Ishana will be safe."
"Thank you," Leni said.
"Come on," Aska said as she took Ishana's hand and led the girl towards the park not far from where they started.
***
Now Aska and Ishana were in a park not far from where the event was held.
"Let go of my hand," Ishana said while pulling her hand roughly.
"It's normal. How rude." Aska said.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Why don't you tell them that I'm your girl?" Ishana said, raising her tone.
"I don't want to be matched, so I say that you're my girl. So what if you're my girlfriend? You're lucky to be going out with me, even if it's just a pretense."
"lucky in what way?"
"Now let me ask you if you say you don't know me, and we are really to be matched, do you think you can get away with it?"
Ishana furrowed her brow.
"What do you mean?"
"Pretty dumb," Aska said as she sat on one of the long chairs.
"Fuck, what do you mean?"
"so don't get angry just yet"
"The point is you just need to follow my plan. You just need to pretend to be my girlfriend and behave like people who are dating in general."
"How long?" Ishana asked.
Askara paused and then thought for a moment.
"Ummmmm a month or two."
"One month."
"Hmmm, whatever you want."
After that conversation, the two people were both silent.
They were now busy with their thoughts.
"What do you want to be?" Aska asked suddenly, making Ishana stare at the confused man.
"Why did you suddenly ask that?"
"Just answer it."
"Mmmmm, I want to be a detective." The girl replied.
Aska immediately changed her sitting position when she heard the girl's words.
"Why do you want to be a detective? You're a girl."
"Can't a girl be a detective?"
"Well, it's not that I say can't, it's just that I think
that's weird."
"Everyone calls me weird too," Ishana said casually.
Aska continued to stare at the girl with a confused look.
Aska felt that the girl in front of her right now intrigued her a little.
She felt that Ishana had many secrets that she was keeping.
Hmmm, unique. I'm getting curious about this girl. Aska said in her heart.
As Aska continued to stare at the girl, her consciousness immediately returned when she heard Ishana's words.
"Don't stare at me too long, you'll like it." The girl said.
Aska immediately returned to her sitting position.
"You're so geeky, don't let you be the first to like me."
"You'll see."
That's how the random conversation between the two people ended.
They returned to their respective thoughts while looking at the night sky filled with sparkling stars.
