Dealings witht the underworld (Pt2)


The next day, Gan called me, when I sw the number I told myself "shit, what does this guy want somemore??!"

That was the day I regretted ever picking up the phone call.

The conversation was one way mainly, sounded something like this :"Hey there! You still remember me? I was in your office yesterday, I want to make and offer to help you as I see you are a nice person, young and energetic, trying to make something of yourself. I will help you to shun off any future debt collectors coming your way. Even the one who hired me I will tell them I am still looking for you."

Shit! For a guy who was in my situation that time, it was like a message sent by GOD Himself! A wahyu from some Nabi! Who can turn down that kind of offer??

Playing it cool, I calmly asked :"What do you want in return?"

" You will take up our organization's protection program, Rm3k a month."

That was a small sum for the service he was offering... I told him I will get back to him. In actual fact there is no one I could consult on, my 2 partners were in limbo, trying to escape all the shit coming from vendors and subcons. (One of the main reason why the busienss failed, post mortem note)

And after a few days I called him up and took up the offer. As a token of faith, he actually returned the checks I issued to him earlier.

There is when all the nightmare bagun...

HP 7



Finally closure. Finishing the last book 2 years ago was not enough. The movie gave closure.

A decade long marathon. real life kids starring the movie became young adults. There is a bond somehow. The characters in the books as sprung to life with real life person who has committed to this long project. Few of them had become prominent celebrities and belonged to the rich and famous.


It was a good closure.


Then again, there is a sense of lost...
