#14 TRANCE

"Ahhhhhh, devil! dad, the mom, help me!!!" The girl splashed the drinking water in his hand on the man, making the body of the man behind her wet.

"Hey! Are you out of your mind? Why are you dousing me like that? I'm not a demon," the man asked, wiping the water off his face and body.

Ishana immediately looked panicked.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Ishana said feeling guilty.

Now in the room, there was no longer only Aska and Ishana; there were now Susan, Leni, and Abyn.

The three had immediately left their respective rooms when they heard the commotion coming from the living room.

"What's going on Ishana? Why are you two making such a fuss this early in the morning? And you Aska, why are you soaked like that? Did you get caught in the rain or something?" Susan asked Aska and Ishana.

Ishana who didn't dare to answer was silent and immediately bowed her head.

Meanwhile, Aska, who had been annoyed, immediately looked at Ishana with her sharp gaze, making Ishana lower her head and then turn to look at her mommy.

"Mommy just ask him. Mommy try to ask who made me soaked like this and why." Aska said then looked back at Ishana who was still downcast with her lazy gaze.

"Hana, what's wrong with you baby? How come Aska got soaked like that?" Susan asked Ishana.

Ishana who heard Susan's question for her began to raise her head slowly and looked sadly at Susan, Leni, and Abyn in turn.

"Ishana, what did you do to Aska dear?" It was Leni's turn to ask Ishana.

"I... I'm a sorry uncle, auntie. Just now... I... I accidentally doused Aska with the drink that was here." Ishana said as she raised the empty glass that was still in her hand.

Leni, Abyn, and Susan who heard Ishana's words exchanged glances.

"Why are you watering Aska, dear? Why did you flush Aska with drinking water like that?" Abyn asked in a soft voice.

"Just now..."

Before Ishana could finish her sentence, Susan suddenly cut her off.

"Aska's not in a trance, is she?" Asked the girl then approached Aska and placed her palm on Aska's forehead.

"Her body temperature is normal, if she is in a trance, her body temperature must be abnormal, right Leni, Abyn?" Susan asked Leni and Abyn who nodded back.

Ishana who heard Susan's words immediately turned her eyes towards Aska.

Meanwhile, Aska who did not accept being said to be in a trance immediately explained.

"Hey Mom, what the hell, Aska is not in a trance. After all, who is talking about being in a trance." Aska said in a lazy tone.

"So what's wrong with you guys, why are you making such a fuss when it's still early in the morning, and why did you get splashed by Ishana? Did you cause trouble with her?"

"Yes, that's why listen to the explanation first, beautiful mommy, don't immediately cut people's words first."

Hearing that, Susan just chuckled.

"Well, now you explain what exactly is going on with you here. Ishana, you explain, dear. We will have more confidence in you explaining than Aska." The woman said softly.

Ishana looked at Aska, then began to open her voice slowly.

"Emmmm so, Ishana had just gotten a drink from the kitchen, then when Ishana wanted to go back to the room, Ishana didn't see Aska here, because previously Aska and Ishana met here." The girl said then paused for a moment.

"So?"

"Well, because Ishana didn't see Aska here, Ishana was confused and looked for her, and when I turned around to enter the room again, suddenly Aska was behind me. Because I was shocked and panicked, I thought there was a demon, and finally...." Ishana stopped saying and instead pointed at the glass still in her hand.

"Did you finally flush Aska?" Abyn immediately continued Isahana's words with a questioning tone.

Ishana nodded her head weakly.

Susan, Leni, and Aska who heard Ishana's words immediately laughed and looked at each other.

"If I were you, I would have hit her or even kicked her, dear hehehehehe," Said Susan who couldn't stop laughing.

"Ishana, you shouldn't do that. It's good that the water in your hand was cold, what if it had been hot water, it could have been dangerous for Aska." Abyn said, followed by Leni's nod.

"Sorry uncle, auntie. I'm also sorry Aska, I didn't mean to." Said the girl then lowered her head again.

"Unintentionally how? Let's say you're still upset about that earlier, right?" Aska asked.

"No, that's not it. I didn't mean to, who told you to suddenly appear in front of me like that and startle me? It was your fault."

"Well right, you just apologized, but now you're already looking for trouble with me again. See for yourself mom, Ishana is always looking for trouble with me." Said Aska who complained and hoped to get a defense from her mommy.

However, it turned out that Aska's assumption was wrong.

After the man said that, instead of getting a defense from her mommy, Aska received a small punch on her arm from her mommy.

"Hey, mom? How come you hit Aska anyway. Aska didn't do anything wrong." The man said while stroking his arm which had just been hit by Susan, although not too hard.

"You can't say that, after all, he already apologized, why are you still looking for trouble?" Asked the girl.

"Hey mom, Aska is not looking for trouble. Aska said that Ishana doused Aska because of the problem earlier." Said the boy.

"That problem? What problem is Aska talking about? You and Ishana had a problem?"

This time, it was not Susan who answered Aska's words, but Leni.

Hearing the question from Leni, Aska directed her gaze for a moment toward Ishana.

"Emmm there's no problem whatsoever auntie. We're fine." Ishana said, answering Aska's question.

"You don't have to lie, what's the problem Aska?" Abyn asked again.

"Mmmmm, there's nothing wrong uncle, we don't have any problems. Aska just misspoke earlier."

"There's no way you could have misspoken Aska. You better be honest, what kind of problem are you talking about."

"Yes, I'll talk now," Aska said and looked at Ishana, who was already panicked.

Aska who saw the panicked look on Ishana's face immediately showed a sly smile.

The man seemed to be saying "You're finished now, Ishana."

Ishana was already looking very panicked.

The girl thought about how unfortunate she would be if Abyn, Leni, and Susan heard what happened earlier.

"I'm finished. Surely that man will say no not now." Ishana said to herself.

The girl thought hard, about what would happen to her later.

"So what? What exactly is the problem? Why are you guys so quiet? And what's with that panicked look on your face, dear?" Asked Leni who couldn't wait to hear the explanation from the two people.
