Epilogue (2/2)

”No matter. My point is that we shouldn't have wasted our time meeting with that Dr Sandra,” KJ commented.

”Heh. You only know how to talk about people behind their backs. Try saying that in front of her. You'd just stay there, frozen,” replied Gibbs.

”When a man becomes wordless in front of a woman, it means that he's in love,” Khalil interjected.

KJ suddenly quietened.

”What? Seriously? KJ?”

Gibbs turned behind and looked at KJ with a teasing smile.

”Get lost! No way! Trust the propaganda of that film scriptwriter!”

”Didn't you tell me that Dr Sandra looked hot last week?” Khalil deliberately injected more.

”I only said she's hot. That doesn't mean anything! Besides, she's already married!”

”Oh, so if she's not, then you'd have a try?” Gibbs didn't give a chance.

”Heh! If I really like her, why would I care whether she's someone's wife or not? I'm not like you, Gibbs - you girlfriends becomes some else's wife and you stopped bothering her. What gentleman?” KJ inadvertently returned the favour back to Gibbs.

Gibbs simply smiled, not answering. Khalil knew Gibbs was secretly mad. d.a.m.n monkey. Be a bit sensible.

KJ leanied forward between Gibbs and Khalil. ”Eh? Did it hit the spot? Don't be like that. We're on a road trip now, don't be emo. Alolololo,” said KJ while flicking Gibbs' chin.

”f.u.c.k you!” Gibbs slapped KJ's hand away while laughing.

Khalil smiled. A reason they're on this road trip was to cure Gibbs' broken heart. It's only been a week after hearing about Fara's wedding ceremony.

”Which river are we going to?” asked KJ back at his seat.

”Lata Kinjang,” answered Khalil.

”Okay. Wake me up when we're there.”

”He's being an a.s.s now. Sleeping until all the way there,” sounded Gibbs.

”Then what should I do? It's not like I can drive!”

”Accompany Ray or something!”

”Aaaah. You do it. Even Ray would like it better if you're the one doing it… right, Ray, right?”

Khalil just smiled.

That feeling returned to him, slipping inside his chest - the feeling of having a thick blanket during a cold rainy day. A comfortable feeling without needing any explanation.

And Khalil kept on driving.

Nas Versix: With this, the translation of the novel Gantung has finally concluded. Honestly speaking, I didn’t expect it to be this fast; even including the days I didn’t translate. I’m not really good with words so let’s keep this short.

I would like to thank the readers who read this series for supporting me in translating this novel. The comments, as little as they are, really helped me to find the will to translate when I’m being lazy (you know who you are).

As for my next project, I still haven’t decided on one yet. Gantung: 2 was released just last week so maybe I’ll translate the first chapter of it as well as some of the other novels that I have. I’ll let you guys decide then. As for how… a poll maybe? I dunno. We’ll see then.

Lastly, I have a request to my readers. If you can, please rate and give a review on this novel  Making a review at Gantung’s toc page is okay too. Wanna let other people know whether they should pick up the story as not. Looking at the rating at NU, it really feels like people simply rate it before reading more of it.

Oops. Don’t wanna end things in a depressing mood. I shall thank the readers again as well as the author for writing the story. I hope you guys hand an enjoyable ride reading it and hope to see you guys next time.
