Chapter 14 - Musical Sound Of Cursing

[Hello!

The last part in the previous chapter had undergone a plastic surgery. Here is the new look. Enjoy!]

*slap*

All of that ended with a sudden slap to my forehead.

Opening my eyes with a startle, the first thing that came to sight was a giant head.

A classical plot couldn't help but drill its way to mind at this moment.

The plot in which the protagonist is reincarnated as a baby. Upon opening his eyes for the first time, the adults he sees appear to be Giants.

"GOOD MORNING PRINCESS! Wakey Wakey!"

The giant started talking at that time. His Loud Voice resounding in my ears. Rattling my mind and causing it to go blank for a moment while trying to register the current situation.

Unlike my mind, my body reacted automatically, punching the giant face right on the nose bridge.

*thud*

"AAAH!"

The sudden scream only added confusion to my blank mind.

"You A**hole! Why did you punch me!"

Hearing the familiar voice, my conscience finally started coming along.

*inhale* *exhale*

I take a long breath to get myself together. My body was covered in a thin layer of sweat, feeling both hot and cold.

When remembering what I saw in the dream, my chrysanthemum tightened in terror, so did my nerves.

What the actual f*** was that!!

And how could someone be so calm in such a situation?

*inhale* *exhale*

Had to take a few deep breaths to barely calm down.

Looking at the person that got punched. As it turns out, he is my friend Walid I have been waiting for.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you punch me? Is it because I interrupted your wet dream?"

Walid yelled and complained to me while holding his bleeding nose.

"Dude! The first thing I saw when waking up was your ugly a** face."

You don't have to admit to any mistakes when you are with friends. Just bring another mistake of theirs.

"You were sleeping and trembling like a freaking vibrator!"

What a rude expression, a good one.

"I have been trying to wake you up for 5 min, I thought you were about to die and the soul was being pulled out of your body!"

Thinking of the weird situation I was in a minute ago, a shudder ran through my spine.

Thankfully Walid woke me up from that nightmare.

*sigh*

Just as I was feeling thankful, a burning sensation came from my forehead.

Thinking of the dream I just had and the tingling between my eyebrows I felt before. A stupid thought came to my mind at this moment.

'Did I awaken some type of power!? Or is it a system maybe!?'

Please don't judge! Any sane person would think the same right!?

At least a 'cultured' person would think so.

'But, shouldn't the pain lessens by now?'

Something is wrong. Upon touching my forehead, I felt a faint pang of pain, causing me to frown.

I take the phone from my pocket and turn the front camera on.

What I saw on the screen caused a vein to pop.

"You a***ole!"

Why would I curse at Walid you ask?

It's because of the four red fingerprints on my forehead!

I… I really want to beat him up!

"What? It's not my fault! You weren't responding! I gotta do what I gotta do!"

"And you have already returned it!"

Looking at his bleeding nose, I didn't know what to do for a second.

Let it be. There is no need to waste more time bickering.

"Forget about it."

Searching the room for a second, I found the napkins box and handed Walid a dozen.

"Here, take these to stop the bleeding."

*snatch*

He snatched them angrily and started wiping the blood on his face, then stuffed his nose with napkins to stop the blood flow.

Maybe it's my fault this time…. Maybe?

*sigh*

"Set down and stop looking at me like an angry bull."

Walid looks like he could pounce on me at any moment.

*humph*

He sits on the couch heavily as if taking revenge on it.

"What was wrong with you anyway!?"

Hearing the question reminded me of that nightmare again, causing me to shudder all over.

"I don't know what happened. When I got here I felt my whole body aching."

"I just closed my eyes to rest but fell asleep accidentally, and had the creepiest nightmare."

I will never forget such a disgusting and disturbing nightmare.

Hmm? The aching is still there. Although, it had become very faint.

"Hehe! Aren't you just scared because of that thing Salem told us about?"

Walid's comment pulled me out of it.

"F*** off! Do you think I'm a W**s like you!?"

"How Is the W**s you Vibrating Bas***"

"You..."

The musical sound of cursing resounded in the air for a couple of minutes, and the friendly curses were exchanged back and forth, like a ball in a table tennis match.

Threats accompanied the match, but thankfully it was all talk, with no bite.

5 minutes into the match, the players were getting tired, so the match had to end prematurely with the two players agreeing it's a tie.

"Anyway! Let's go! I will take you to see a doctor."

Although curses were being exchanged not a minute ago, that doesn't mean there were any hard feelings between friends.

After we calmed down, Walid stood up and grabbed his car keys, ready to take me to the hospital.

I move my body around, letting him see that there is no problem.

"There is no need. I feel quite alright."

Looking at me up and down while frowning, he still asked with some 'concern'.

"Are you sure? I don't want you to die on me suddenly."

*tick*

This B***ard! I really want to start another round of table tennis!

"Stop talking nonsense. There is nothing wrong with me now, I feel great!"

Still looking with a frown about to say something, but looking at my expression, he finally shrugged his shoulders and gave up the idea.

"Whatever!"

Back to the couch, it's time for some serious talk.

"By the way, what did your dad tell you? And what kind of preparation is he doing?"

Curious about what kind of arrangement uncle Ziad would make.

"The same thing Salem told us about yesterday. He was going to the grain market to buy food, but he got a call from your father saying to leave it to him."

"After the call, he told me to get in contact with you, and went somewhere to bring some special Tools."

Honestly, I'm afraid to ask what kind of special tools we are talking about.

"What do you want to do now?"

Walid asked.

"We have to prepare for the worst situation. My task is to buy enough fuel for now, about 1500 gallons. That was why I called you here."

An expression of surprise appeared on his face when hearing how much fuel was needed.

"D*mn! That's gonna cost a lot of money, are you sure that wouldn't be too much?"

See? Even Walid got shocked by the amount the Rich tycoon aka 'my father' wanted to buy.

"Sure or not, we have to buy it anyway, it's the high commander instruction. We can sell it later on if not needed."

Hearing that it's the high commander order, Walid just shrugged shoulders and accepted.

"Whatever! Buy if you want to buy! Salem and Adam, do you want to call them?"

Adam who? Adam is the last member of crew Aka 'Iron-Head' in our chat group.

"Sure, they will probably call one of us at any time now."

*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Ring*

Hello once again.

As I mentioned in the beginning of the chapter. The last part in the previous chapter had undergone a plastic surgery.

Hope you have an amazing day/night.

Goodbye.
