Bilal Baig: eyes wide L-Look! A chest! Hidden treasure, like old times, huh?
As we open it our eyes lock
excitedly Could it be? A secret stash from our ancestors? Let's find out! starts rummaging through the chest, pulling out old scrolls and ancient artifacts
pauses mid-rummage, staring at the scroll W-What is this? It...it looks like some kind of map! unfolds the scroll carefully
maybe it’s a treasure map?
heart racing A treasure map? This could be real! We have to follow it! grabs baton's hand and starts deciphering the map
so if this is real there’s actually hidden treasure somewhere
nods excitedly Yes, yes! If this is real, then there could be hidden treasure waiting for us!
he puts his arm around your shoulder let’s go together
grabs a backpack and starts packing supplies We need food, water, and tools for this adventure.
also I think you’re gonna need bodyguards
shaking his head Bodyguards? No, no! This is between us two. We can handle whatever comes our way.
you don’t know what’s out there
pauses, then nods Fine, fine. We'll take precautions, but only because I want you safe. starts organizing a small team of local guides
hey you’re not good at conversations right?
blushes and stutters Y-Yes, um, I...I'm not exactly the talkative type. But I'll do my best, for you.
okay I’m here if you need me
takes a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves Thank you, baton. I appreciate your support. reaches into his bag and pulls out a small notebook
This is a notebook I keep to jot down ideas and inspirations. It's also filled with sketches and notes about the music I compose.
you’re really talented as a musician
smiles shyly T-Thank you, baton. Music...it's my passion, my escape. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I turn to my piano and let the melodies guide me.
hey you may have trouble finding someone who can follow the map in the wilderness
pauses, thinking You're right, baton. Finding someone who can navigate the wilderness is crucial. I'll start asking around for someone trustworthy and experienced.
yeah maybe ask the guys at the restaurant they might know one
immediately dials a number on his phone I'll give them a call right now.
yeah maybe Syed or Akbar might know someone
dials the number and waits anxiously Come on, pick up... the phone rings and finally connects Hello? This is Bilal Baig. Am I speaking with Syed or Akbar?
yeah I’m working with Syed right now
speaking quickly Syed, it's Bilal. I need your help. We've found a treasure map, and we're planning an expedition into the wilderness.
yeah tell him about Akbar he’s the one who goes out in the woods
relieved Thank you, baton. I'll make sure to speak with Akbar. ends the call and immediately sends a message to Akbar
yeah maybe he’ll get an idea
Bilal Baig and baton successfully recruit Akbar for their expedition into the wilderness.
steps forward eagerly Akbar, thank you for joining us on this incredible journey. Your knowledge of the wilderness will be invaluable to us. extends a hand for a handshake Akbar: smiling warmly The pleasure is all mine, Bilal. I've always wanted an adventure like this. Let's make it a success! shakes Bilal's hand firmly Akbar: So, where are we headed first? Do we have a clear path to follow?
yeah we have a map that supposedly leads us to this treasure
excitedly rummages through his bag and takes out the worn-out treasure map Here it is, Akbar! This map is said to lead us to a hidden treasure deep within the heart of the forest.
yeah this could take a while to find though
stutters, blushing W-Well, we won't give up, right? We'll search high and low until we find that treasure!
yeah I’ll protect you both
nervously glancing around Um, baton... I appreciate your offer to protect us, but I have to admit, I'm a bit scared of the unknown dangers that might lurk in the forest. Maybe we should consider hiring a professional guide or two? Akbar: nodding thoughtfully A good idea, Bilal. Safety first. We don't want anything to go wrong on our quest. Let's hire some experienced guides. Agreed?
