Chapter 20 (1/2)
The fight between Jeremy and the three delinquents were settled just like that after Arul was discharged from the hospital with no problem (Though, the place Jeremy kicked would probably still feel sore). His bleeding became a mystery to the doctors as none knew the reason it happened - what they knew was that after the blood transfusion was completed, Arul became fine. Arul's father who was a new politician was in the process of signing a large land so he doesn't want the matter to get big - as long as his son was healthy, that's good enough.
Jeremy too felt relieved as the case ended at that point, not to mention that Arul no longer had the courage to bully him anymore. With this, Jeremy could now focus more on his first staging that'd occur not long from now. With the presence of his idol, Khalil Abdullah who now was often seen in CGTSS making Jeremy even more spirited to do his best.
”Do you think that brother Khalil has a scandal with our counsellor?” asked Lina that evening in Jeremy's room.
”Maybe they're just old friends?”
”Don't you feel that… she brought him here… to meet you?”
”It's possible. Maybe he's looking for an apprentice. That's why I have to give my best for this show.”
”I don't think that's why though.”
”Then?”
Lina shrugged. ”Maybe it's related to the thing that's been disturbing you.”
”How could they even know about it?”
”Dunno. But I got the vibe from the counsellor that she's really interested in this supernatural stuff.”
”Eh, you didn't move in with her?”
”I'm too lazy to do it. Why? You don't want me to sleep here anymore?” Lina asked back. Ever since Jeremy returned from the hospital, she would stay in Jeremy's room every night.
The prankster ghost in her room had started becoming worse.
”Nah. I didn't say that,” said Jeremy.
”You're scared I'll sneak attack you or something?”
”No way!”
Lina smiled. ”Don't worry. After I told my family problem to you, I felt a bit better. I don't feel like doing those promiscuous things.”
”Can it be gone just like that?” Jeremy was doubtful. After Lina told him about her s.e.xual addiction, Jeremy did read a few things. It sounded really serious.
”It's not like it disappeared just like that. There are times that I feel like attacking you,” Lina honestly said.
”But…?”
”But I held it in.”
”Why?”
”Eh, do you want it?”
”h.e.l.l no!”
”If you do, then just say it.”
