#19 How To Apologize
"What's wrong with you? Let's go." Ishana said as she tried to pull her hand from Aska's grasp, but failed.
"You come with me now," Aska said and immediately led Ishana out of the place.
"Ehhhh wait, Syifa!"
"Syifa will be escorted by Andre. Andre, please take Syifa." Aska said to his friend Andre.
"OK, ready."
"Aska, where are you going? Why am I left behind?" Karyn asked.
Aska did not answer at all, the man just focused on his steps while continuing to hold Ishana's hand.
Karyn was about to chase Aska and Ishana, but Andre swiftly blocked Karyn with his body.
"You don't bother them, they have important things to discuss. It's better now that you go home or order something to eat, and don't make any more noise here." André said.
"You don't need to interfere, Andre, this is my problem with Aska. It has nothing to do with you."
"I'm Aska's friend, and I have that right. Who are you, you're just her ex-boyfriend, aren't you?" André said.
Syifa heard that she was immediately shocked, so it turned out that Karyn was Aska's ex-girlfriend.
"Are you serious? She's the ex-girlfriend of that guy?" Syifa asked for confirmation.
Andre then turned his gaze towards Syifa and nodded his head slowly.
"Yeah, why?" Andre asked.
Syifa just shook her head.
"Well, now I'll take you home Aska said earlier. Your friend will be safe with Aska." André said.
Syifa didn't refuse, the girl nodded her head.
"Let's go," Andre said and left Karyn and her friends who were still in the same place as before.

Aska immediately released her grip from Ishana's hand and the two of them were now in a park not far from the cafe where they had just been.
"What do you mean, Aska? Why did you bring me here? Besides, did you have to be so rude to get me out of there? Didn't you see my hand get bruised like this?" Ishana said as she showed her wrist, which was now bruised and left marks from Aska's fingers that had gripped it too tightly.
Aska glanced briefly at Ishana's hand.
For a moment, the man looked a little shocked.
Perhaps he did not realize that he had grasped Ishana's hand too tightly like that.
However, the man did not want to show his panicked and worried face for too long in front of Ishana.
Aska quickly changed her face to a normal one.
"It's just your hands that are too sensitive, just grasping it like that is immediately bruised," Aska said and then looked away sarcastically.
Ishana who heard Aska's words immediately looked at the man with a confused look.
The girl couldn't understand what the man was thinking.
How could that man even say something like that when he was the one who made Ishana's hand bruised like that?
"Are you crazy? My hand got bruised like this because you grabbed it too hard/" Ishana said.
"Hmmm," Aska said.
Ishana then furrowed her brow.
"Just hmmm? Can't you apologize?" Ishana said.
Aska looked straight at the girl.
"Apologize? You're asking me to apologize?"
Hearing Aska's words, Ishana immediately bowed her head.
"Yes, apologize. Do you know how to apologize?"
"Why would I apologize if I'm not wrong?" Aska said.
"What a crazy man, does he not feel guilty at all for bruising my hand like this?" Ishana asked herself.
The girl continued to stare intently at Aska.
Aska, stared at by Ishana, began to furrow her brow in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Have you never seen anyone as handsome as me?" Aska said confidently.
Hearing that, Ishana reflexively covered her mouth with her palms.
"I immediately wanted to spit out what I had just eaten after hearing your words Aska. You're too confident to say something like that." Ishana said while looking at Aska with a sardonic gaze.
"It's important to be confident, isn't it?"
"But there's no need to be overconfident like you are right now."
"That's up to me, why don't you accept that?"
"Ahhh already lah, apologizing alone makes a headache like this." Said Ishana, who was getting lazy with Aska's attitude.
"Well, don't ask me to apologize if I'm not at fault."
"Arhhhh why did I meet a human like this? Can't this human disappear from the face of this earth? I feel like throwing him to the bottom of the sea so I can't meet him and never see him again. Maybe I'll go crazy if I keep dealing with him." Ishana said to herself.
"Whatever you want, the important thing is that you tell me now, what made you bring me here?" Ishana asked straight to the point.
The girl no longer wanted to linger with that man, the girl still loved her common sense which might soon be damaged if it was too long with that man.
"I don't want to say anything," Aska said casually.
Ishana who heard Aska's words immediately looked at the man sharply.
Ishana immediately grabbed her hair.
The girl seemed to be too frustrated with Aska's behavior that she could not face it anymore.
"Gosh, Aska... I think I'm going to go crazy soon if I talk to you for too long. If you have nothing to say, why did you bring me here and leave Syifa alone in there?" Ishana asked pointing towards the cafe where Syifa was.
"Syifa is not alone, there is Andre who will take her home."
"If you don't want to say anything, why should your friend take Syifa home? I can go home alone with Syifa and not have to come here with you." Ishana said as she glanced at the deserted garden.
"Hmmmmm well, I just wanted to say something," Aska said in the end.
Ishana began to calm herself down.
"What? What do you want to say?"
"I just wanted to deliver Mama's message."
"Aunt Susan?"
"Who else do you think? My mom is just her, isn't she?"
"Hmmm yes yes, so what did Aunt Susan say?"
"Mommy said that you should come to the house tonight. She wants to invite you to dinner. I'll pick you up at 7 pm at your house." Aska said.
Not yet answered by Ishana, Aska immediately left the place and left Ishana.
"Heh, where are you going? I haven't answered whether I agree or not yet." Ishana said.
"There is no refusal. I'll be at your house by 7 pm tonight." Aska said as she continued walking away from Ishana.
"What an obscure man," Ishana said as she stared at Aska's back as she disappeared from view.
