Bless was utterly stunned by what Sasha said. Sorcerer?. Who?. He looked up to see Ozo, whom was as nonchalant as ever, with his eyes locking unto Nengi's. Sasha leaned back, on his seat, feigning ignorance of what he just said. Nengi's eyes were filled with swirls of emotions. Anger, pain, and longing.
Ozo took a seat close to them, and sat down refusing to look at Sasha, whom draped an arm over him, causing him to yell at him .
" Will you stop being flirty?. I'm not even here for you!". He huffed .
Sasha pouted, looking at Nengi whom raised her eyebrows at Ozo, getting him confused. Bless had to sit and watch the relacosta of unending drama.
" Didn't I tell you not to come close to me, till you fix the issues you have with Sasha?. Ozo, I told I made myself clear?". Nengi asked with her anger rising.
Sasha could feel her anger burning, so he tried to came the situation, by making funny jokes, and Nengi, not finding it funny at all, flashed him down. Sasha had to keep quiet as he knew she was not in the mood for jokes.
" Answer me!." Nengi demanded.
Ozo knew that Nengi had dual personalities. At times, she could really be scary.
" I had to, okay?....". Ozo looked directly at her, biting his lower lip, trying to come up with words that she would love to hear.
" I.. I was just trying to look out for you, trust me... Nengi I really didn't mean it that way. You asked me to stop talking to you, and I felt a bit off. Secluded, and totally confused. Initially, I thought of talking to Bless first, to reach out to you." Ozo admitted helplessly.
Bless felt elated on hearing that he thought of reaching out to him,but his heart shrunk when he recalled that he was going to be ' a peace offering '. Without uttering any word, he quietly ate his snacks, not wanting to interfere.
Ozo waited patiently for Nengi's response. He was ready to do anything to earn Nengi's forgiveness.. anything, but what he heard next was...
" Apologize to Sasha... If you want me, to be friends with you again, then ask him for his apology." Nengi blurted out.
" W- what??. Apologize to who?. This pervert?". Ozo asked feeling wronged.
Sasha was delighted as soon as he heard those words, he adjusted his sitting position and held his cheeks staring at Ozo, awaiting for his reaction. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, but for Nengi's sake,he would even lick the dust of the earth.
" Didn't you say that you will do anything to earn my forgiveness?. Or ?". Nengi folded her hands, still looking intently at Ozo.
" Wait, how did..". He almost slapped himself, for wanting to ask that question. Nengi can read minds, and definitely she read his.
He sighed, surrending to defeat. Of course, Nengi's forgiveness will cost him a lot, which was his ego. Still hesitant about offering an apology, Sasha couldn't bear the long waited silence.
" Ugh! What's up with you?. Can't you say something, why are you keeping us in suspense, as if we are watching some sort of Indian movie? Say something Sorcerer!" Sasha said in an attempt to provoke him, of which he successfully did.
" Better watch the kind of language you use, or else?". Ozo warned, his tone rising sending signals.
" Or else what?. Huh?". Sasha challenged drawing closer to meet his cold piercing eyes, which he never felt intimidated of.
" Nengi, you see him now?. To me I feel like he doesn't deserve an apology at all ". Ozo lamented bitterly.
Nengi was about to say something, when Sasha interrupted her. " I'm the victim here okay?. You were the one that misunderstood me in the first place, so I'm the one, who you should speak to, leave Nengi out of this ".
" You heard him, Ozo, apologize ". Nengi spoke.
Bless and Sasha had to watch as Ozo swallowed hard, trying to muffle words.
Sasha wanted to see how the calm and composed Ozo who would never ask him for anything, would be the one to apologize first.
" Ozo... Say something".
" Or peharps, he wants me to give him an assurance". Sasha chimned in. Ozo's face reddened as he quickly said out the words.
" I'm sorry okay!."
Pretending not to hear him, Sasha asked him to repeat himself.
" Sorry, I can't hear you, you said what?".
"That's enough now!". Nengi intervened before Sasha would spew nonsense, as Ozo wasn't finding it funny .
" Couldn't you have just apologized?. What's the use of prolonged silence, making me act like a lawyer, with fake costume. I'm tired of wearing this fake act of strictness and composure, it's suitable for Ozo only". Nengi complained and everyone laughed heartily.
" He just wants us to watch some movie". Sasha said In between laughter.
" You know it's a long time, since we had a kind of entertainment ". Nengi agreed, laughing too .
" You two.." . Ozo thought of scolding them, but he relaxed himself, feeling grateful that things were better. Bless had to join in and laugh, to forget about his family.
