"R, I can't believe you. How could you do it? You asked De's hand?? How could you? You know that she is not the right one for you. Still.....?? How could you?" M said in an upsetting and angry voice.
"You do know the rumor, right? And on top of that, what makes you think that she isn't the right one for me?" I said.
"Yes, I do know the rumor. But you don't need to marry her to clear it . We.... We can just... Just expose my relationship with Alexa. That should be enough to clear things up." M said, after thinking for a while.
"That's true but..." I paused for a while and then taking a deep breath I continued, "M, I really really love you. You are my best friend, brother and someone I can blindly trust... but my marriage, it's a thing that I decided, no actually it's a choice that I've made for myself. Hope you can support me in it."
"R, I really treasure you as much as you treasure me. But if it comes to depriving my sister from her rights, then I'm sorry but I can't support you. You do know that, she is the only sister I have!!," M said in a pained voice.
I laughed sarcastically, "M, you couldn't possibly be thinking of making me wait for a person who has been missing since her birth, right?"
Actually, M has a sister called, 'Inaya', and I was engaged with her even before her birth. But she went missing right after her birth and M's family has been looking for her, for about 21 years now, but sadly no news!!
"Of course not, I don't. But you know she is the only girl you can tou..." B walked in even before he could finish his sentence and hugged me really tight to congratulate me.
"Bro, I'm so happy for you. I can see my hard works paying off. I'm so happy!!" he said, still hugging me.
"B, you are suffocating me. And also, it's too soon to congratulate me. She hasn't said yes yet." I said as I freed myself from B.
"What she hasn't even said 'yes'?? Who does she think she is..?? How dare she?" M said, fuming.
Both B and I, laughed . Cause clearly a moment ago he was against this whole idea of marrige . And now he is angry cause she hasn't agreed to my proposal yet. M is just like this. He is both firm and fickle. And the main reason why he disagreed with this whole marriage is that, he doesn't really like De. It seems like he has some problem with her. But he, himself doesn't even know what the problem is. He just can't tolerate the sight of her. But still they are forced to see each other for 12 hours each day. And now, if she becomes my wife, then there will be no way for him to get rid of De. So, I guess this is why he is disagreeing. M left without giving me a second look.
"But then again, R, what are you planning about your residence? Are you going to keep staying in the dorm even after your marriage?" B, asked with curiosity but as I glared at him, he quickly added, "only if she agrees..."
"Thanks B, for reminding me of a very important topic, that I would have almost forgotten... thanks to M", I said with a smirk.
Actually I've been thinking about what professor Kim had said back there about.... the girls difficulty things.... So, I'm thinking of making a draft that will ensure her benefits.
As I took my laptop and opened up Microsoft word to type certain things that I was going to, B said, "Don't tell me that you took seriously what professor Kim said. Come on, he is too old to know any better".
"Oh really? Then do care to tell me what's the 'better'?" I said adding sarcasm in the last word.
"Well, it should be enough to solve all those tensions of yours if you just don't let go of her," he said, shrugging.
"That's the hell right", but then suddenly something striked my head, how did he know what Mr. Kim told me...?
"B, how the hell do you know all about all these things? Did you...?? You didn't right?"
His expression was apologetic, yet mischievous.
"Dude, you got to listen to me..."
"No, dude, you listen to me....you used spy camera on me? Why?" I demanded an explanation.
"It was a test run. And guess what...?? It's working just perfect. It can run 72 hours with one day of charge. Isn't it great?" he said, being excited over the fact that, the camera that we were working on is doing perfectly alright.
Spy camera with a prolonged lifeperiod and audio ability, is a project that we are working on right on. It's so tiny that one can hardy notice it. It would be invisible once you put someone's data in it. And it would be invisible until it lands on the hands of the certain someone who activates it.
We have made it secure enough to make sure that one can't use it without a certain authorities permission. And if you ask, who gives the permission, then for now and few months we'll give. And after that social media will do it. Which means anybody with the verification tag or sign (whatever you want to call it) can't be spied with the camera. We were working on it and since our work's done. We'll be marketizing it 20 days later. And it'll be widely available in more than 2 months. For now it'll be available only in European market.
"I hate you B. Quickly deactivate it or else" I glared at him, he swallowed and quickly deactivated it.
And hold out his hand then the camera landed on his hands.
"Happy? I did what you said", he said making an upset face.
"I'm ecstatic. Now get out, if you don't want me to deal with you about the rumor thing right now", I said, quickly shooting a warning look in his direction.
"Well, about the rumors.... Umm... In my defense I'll say, I did it for you", he said with a grin.
I was beyond frustrated and very less interested in his bullshits right now. I needed sleep, and there is no doubt that I wouldn't get any if I don't throw him out right now. It's not like I'll get one without him, but I'll be happy if I get some peace of privacy. I let out a deep breath trying to control my anger.
"I swear, if you don't leave right now, I'll call M and tell him everything. And I know you wouldn't want that, since you can't deal with it". I said, glaring at him, with eyes full of irritation and blood full of anger. He left without saying another word.
