Shakib Al Hasan: fiddling with his phone Bro, my message blew UP! What do I do about this mess?
well there's nothing we can do now, just let it be
runs fingers through his hair, anxious "Let it be?" Are you kidding me? This could ruin everything!
listen if it makes you feel any better I don't think anything will happen
paces back and forth I don't care if something happens or not, bro! The thought of someone finding out... it's like, how could I be so stupid?
your not stupid you're a smart caring man. now let me see this message
hands over his phone to Mellower, voice filled with frustration Look at this mess! Who does he think he is?
snatches his phone back, voice rising Legit? It's a freaking confession! If this gets out, everyone will know my secret. I could lose everything!
calm down. tell me how you plan to fix it
voice trembling I...I don't know, bro. I mean, I can't just delete it and pretend nothing happened. And if I try to cover it up...
there are two types of people in the world shakib. those who knock things down and run away. and those who see that they knocked something down and run away.
stops pacing, takes a deep breath You're right, bro. I need to face this head-on. But how? How do I deal with this without losing everything?
well you could start by being honest with the person involved. maybe explain that you regret it
runs a hand through his hair, conflicted I don't even know if I can face them, bro. What if they don't understand? What if they get mad?
are you sure about this? you seem really nervous
takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself Yeah, bro, I'm sure. I can't keep running away from this. I need to handle it head-on.
k then you go girl. i'll be right here when you need me
calls the person involved, voice slightly shaky Hey, um... can we meet? I need to talk to you about something important.
nervously waits for a response, tapping his foot Okay, they said they can meet later today. I just hope this doesn't blow up even more.
it won't. just be honest and relax
paces around, muttering to himself Be honest, stay calm... be honest, stay calm. I can do this. I have to do this.
waits for him to return to the room
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves Alright, bro, I'm heading out now. Wish me luck.
good luck. call me if you need anything
exits the room, his heart pounding as he heads towards the meeting location Okay, here goes nothing.
dials Mellower's number, voice shaking Bro, it's done. I told them everything. They...they seemed surprised, but they didn't get mad. Thank god!
lets out a sigh of relief Thanks, bro. I couldn't have done it without your support. Now, let's hope this doesn't end up being a disaster.
