Chapter 6 (2/2)
”Can I really?”
”I'll talk with your dorm manager later,” the counselor said seriously.
”Hmmm… okay,” Lina agreed.
It's probably fine. Compared to not being able to sleep at night. Lina stood up, said thanks and went out of the counselor's room.
”h.e.l.lo? Can I speak with Khalil Abdullah?”
”Speaking. Who is this?”
”It's me…”
At the other end of the line, a deep breath was heard taken. ”What do you want?”
”Are you free?”
”No.”
”Khalil, please…”
”Look, you haven't contacted me in 10 years. And now you suddenly called me asking whether I'm free or not? If I say no, could please accept my answer with an open heart?”
”Khalil, I know you're a busy man. But I won't contact you if it's nothing important.”
”What is it that's so urgent?”
”It's about him, Khalil.”
”Him?”
”He's back. In a different form. Here. In CGTSS.”
”What?!”
”He hasn't moved on. Please, Khalil, I need your help.”
Again, a deep breath was taken on the other side. ”This isn't my field. Isn't this your specialty? Don't tell me you can't settle it without me?”
”If I could, I wouldn't have called you.”
Silence.
”Please, Khalil. You know how he listens to you.” A cynical laugh was heard from the other end.
”Khalil, please. Things have gotten much worse.”
”When do you want me?”
”As soon as possible.”
”I'll see what I can do.”
Dun dun dun. Who’s this teacher now? Why is she contacting that Khalil guy?
Hope you enjoyed it.
