Chapter 26 (2/2)
Troll choked on the water that he was drinking when hearing KJ's few last words. ”Aik? You? Thinking about marriage already? Is the world ending?”
”It's logical. When your life's table in the future, your family would definitely pressure you to marry! It's so annoying,” complaint KJ.
While Gibbs was laughing, his handphone suddenly rang. An unknown number was displayed.
”h.e.l.lo?”
”Gibbs…” Deepa's voice was heard from the other end of the line.
Ah, d.a.m.n!
”Who's this?” he pretended to not know. He saw that even Troll and KJ had focused on listening.
”Deepa,” she answered.
”Oh. What's up?” asked Gibbs.
”I'm… outside your block. Can we meet?”
Fara's reminder suddenly floated into his mind: Just be civil toward her..
But can I give face to this kind of chick?
”Wait a bit. I'll be there,” Gibbs hang up.
”Who?” KJ immediately asked.
”I'll talk later,” said Gibbs while standing up and going out.
”Why didn't you say it earlier?!” KJ immediately monkeyed as Gibbs told who he went to meet.
Ray too was there. It was Troll who was gone now - KJ said that a cheerleader chick was asking for his 'service'.
”I want to know what she wants first,” explained Gibbs.
”What is it?”
”One date.”
”Huh?”
”She said she wanted to go on a date with me. That's it. She promised that she won't bother me after that,” said Gibbs.
KJ's face turned confused. ”How weird can this girl be? Then, you didn't say anything about what happened?”
”I did,” said Gibbs. He remembered Deepa's extremely calm face when he brought up the matter. For some reason, he felt his spine tingling.”But she said that if I want to spread the pictures after the date, she won't mind. As long as she gets to have a date with me.”
”Our Romeo's charm really is out of this world,” said Ray.
”Really? She really won't care? Then let's do it!” said KJ.
”Hold on. Wait until after the date. Do it only if she does something weird,” Gibbs suggested. He really hoped that Deepa won't be up to something strange - as he really didn't want to spread the pictures.
The deleted pictures which weren’t yet confirmed whether there's any backup or not.
”You're saying you WANT to go on this date?” questioned KJ.
”It's not that I want to. But no harm, right?”
”'No harm' my a.s.s! What if she does anything to you?”
Gibbs laughed. ”What can she even do?”
”I dunno. Maybe she'd pluck your hair… or your skin… and put it in a ?” replied KJ, but with a slight smile, which then turned into a laugh.
”I think it would be fine. It's just a date. Bring her around with my bike, eat something, then come back. Done,” said Gibbs - more to a.s.sure himself.
”Won't your girlfriend care?” Ray suddenly asked.
He again remembered Fara's words…
”If the time comes for you to do what you must do, you should do what you should.”
