Debate
"We turn right, after that turn left, at the T-junction take the straight road, then turn right. Enter the complex and my house will be on the far left." Syifa said.
Hearing that, Andre, who was originally about to drive his car, canceled his intention.
"Hey, it looks like I've gone crazy because of you Syifa. Can't you just not give me a headache for once?"
"Why again? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"You're still asking what you did wrong?"
"Why am I always wrong? You told me to show you the direction to my house right? Then why are you scolding me again?"
"Do you think I can memorize what you just said? I'm not a genius, Syifa." Said Andre who was getting frustrated with the girl beside him.
"Then what should I do now, I don't know what to do. I'm afraid you'll scold me again like before."
"If you don't want to be scolded, then do the right thing. Don't give me a headache."
"Hmmm, now you just tell me slowly. Don't direct everything."
"What does that mean?"
"Arhhhhh..... SYIFA!!!" The man shouted.
He really couldn't contain his emotions anymore.
Syifa, beside him, immediately jumped in shock at the yelling of the man beside her.
The girl's face looked terrified.
Her eyes were glassy as if she was holding back her tears.
Andre who saw the look on the girl's face immediately fell silent.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, I just...."
"Sorry," Syifa said.
The girl immediately changed the direction of her gaze.
She chose to stare outside through the window next to her.
Andre, who felt bad, then fell silent.
He felt guilty for yelling at the girl next to him.
"Syifa..." Andre called out.
"Yes?" The girl answered simply.
"Are you angry with me?" Asked Andre who continued to stare at Syifa, while Syifa continued to stare outside.
Syifa didn't dare to look at Andre at all since he yelled at her earlier.
"Syif, you haven't answered my question. Are you really angry?" Andre asked.
"Hmmm, no. I'm not angry with you, because I was wrong. I'm stupid, slow, and don't know anything. I'm sorry for troubling you." Syifa said.
Andre who heard that immediately grabbed Syifa's arm so that she would look at him.
"Syif, listen to me first. I didn't mean to yell at you, I apologize if I raised my voice earlier and scared you. I apologize again Syifa." Andre said.
"I'm fine, it's not you who should apologize, it's me. By the way, I don't think you need to drive me home. I'll take a taxi from here, thanks for the ride, Andre." The girl said while reaching for the bag on her right side.
Andre who heard the girl's words immediately panicked.
Syifa began to step out of the car.
The girl stood on the side of the road while glancing to her right and left, hoping that a taxi would pass and she could ride to her house.
Andre, who saw Syifa getting out of the car, immediately followed the girl out of the car and immediately approached her.
"Syifa, what the hell are you doing? Why did you get out of the car? I'll take you home. Now let's get in the car again." The man said as he tried to pull the girl's hand away.
Syifa immediately threw Andre's hand away.
"No need Andre, I can go home by myself. You don't have to be afraid, I won't say anything to Ishana or any of your friends. If they ask, I won't say that I ended up going home alone, you can rest easy." Syifa said.
Andre refused as he shook his head slowly.
"No, I won't let you go home alone. I'll still take you home. I don't accept rejection." The man said and continued to try to force Syifa into his car by pulling her hand.
"What the hell are you, if I want to go home alone it's up to me. You have no right to forbid me, Andre. You are nobody." Syifa said now in a louder voice.
"Hmmm, if you're still mad about that, I've already apologized, haven't I? Now you come in, I'll still take you home. I can't possibly let you go home alone, and leave you here alone. What would others say about me if they saw me leave a woman on the side of the road like this and let you go home alone." The man said as he glanced around.
Along the way, some people did glance in their direction.
Seeing that, Syifa showed a faint smile through the corners of her lips.
Andre who saw that frowned confused by what Syifa was doing.
"Why are you laughing? Is something wrong? Are you okay?" The man asked Syifa.
Andre stared at Syifa as if there was something strange about the girl.
Meanwhile, Syifa now came closer to stand right in front of Andre.
Now the distance between the two people was very close.
Syifa looked deeply into Andre's eyes.
Andre who was given a look like that by Syifa became embarrassed himself.
The man's face had now turned red.
Syifa moved closer and stayed silent for a while right in front of him as her eyes continued to rest on Andre.
"You're so funny, you're not a real man at all. You forced me to get back into the car because you were afraid of being called an irresponsible man. You told me to get in not because you wanted to take me home sincerely from your heart, but because you had to." Syifa said.
Andre who heard Syifa's words immediately fell silent.
The man's gaze had now changed.
"I didn't mean it like that, I had no intention of doing that to you Syifa. I just wanted to take you home, I wouldn't have let you go home alone would I? Now you better get back in the car, the sooner the better. Now you better get back in the car, the sooner the better. The man said.
Syifa flashed her sly smile again.
"You're just being yourself. I've seen you force me to do whatever you want. You just tell me to do this and that. Do you think that I'm a maid who must always fulfill your wishes? I'm not that low. And one more thing, I'm not a weak woman who can't even go home by myself." The girl said then stepped away from Andre's presence and a few moments later she stopped a taxi that happened to pass in front of her.
"Syifa waits, I haven't finished talking yet."
