Unfavourable Eventuality

Dee POV

Break time coming, she sat and ate with her 5 close workmates at a food court in a hypermarket. She almost completed a bowl of laksa after 11 minutes of eating non-stop while the others were talking about their crushes as well as eating. But then, suddenly one of her haters also a workmate, Jasmin who was holding a cup of tea, poke fun at the way she walk ahead of her and laughing. Being such a tomboy, her walk does look like a man even her gesture and pose showed how easy-going and brave she was. Still, some people do not like her because of that. She knew what was about to happen as this is not the first time it occurred in her life. 'What a rubbish' She thought.

She merely looked at her with uninterested air subsequently continued eating the remaining laksa. Her close workmates did not notice yet as they keep talking about trivial matters with fervour. Jasmin then sat ahead of their table in an opposite position and put her tea and did a pose like a hulk also known as show off the muscle pose to boot. This sick girl intentionally chose the table close to Dee to continuously ridicule her. Meanwhile, Dee told 5 of them to consume promptly, not having much time to gossip. Time is ticking. She saw what Jasmin did but regarded it and ate the last spoon of her laksa. Yay! She was done finished her food and proceed with a cup of coffee next, sipping it with pleasure. Yum yum.

One of her close colleagues, Syamila sensed something was wrong with the aura around her and looking around. Surprisingly, she saw what Jasmin did thus it made her furious. She raised her voice calling for Jasmin to cease her from making fun of Dee. But Jasmin did not care at all and continued mocking her saying nasty things related to Dee's parents. "Does your parents didn't educate you to be feminine? Aw, poor them" Jasmin sneered with a disdainful air. She heard every single word Jasmin came out with from her mouth. This b*tch d*mned laser! "Better you zip your lips" She told and gritted her teeth.

She was trying to soothe her anger with 10 seconds of hold respiration and gulped her coffee a little, dampening the parch trachea caused by her fuming outrage. She shut her eyes for a while yet Jasmin proceeded with another mock by mouthed "lesbo" and "Nazri will be sad" She was beyond surprised as no one know about the latter. She only told Aifaa and Nurul, NO OTHER HUMAN. This is f*cked up! Add on with the offensive word she mouthed to pillory her did not help cool her down either. She began to rage pushing her chair quite hard and moved towards Jasmin.

She grabbed her up by the collar and pushed her close. Customers and workers who were eating there were surprised by a sudden commotion. "Woo! What's happening though?" "What the h*ck she's doing??!" Look at them. They were fighting" "Record guys record" A distant murmur of buzzes. Some of them intently looked at the two while gossiping mostly about Dee as they saw she started the ruckus. Believe it or not, this happens whenever particular ones got provoked and the people around were quick to make rumours without facts as they believe what they see more than hidden gospel truth. A furious stare and shocking gaze from Dee and Jasmin began respectively and it was a sign that the battle would be intractable if no one stopped them.

"Wanna say that again directly to my face?" She seriously asked.

"H*ll yeah, les..." Jasmin replied and smirked the moment she nearly repeat the same offensive word.

"You!" Dee pushed her to the wall at the back and snorted.

Jasmin was beyond startled and getting scared. Her back was pretty much smarting after it banged the walls quite intense. Dee does not care if she earned a bruise or swollen because this sh*t deserves it. After throwing a piercing gaze for a moment, Dee looked up and whispered to her right ear. "Lesbo is an offensive word, sis. Better watch what you're saying or else... You know what are the consequences" She then stepped back a little and loosens the grip on her collar. She desisted and seemed hesitant to move. Cat got her tongue, obviously but it did not stop there.

The 5 close colleagues halted and eyeballs broaden the moment Dee pushed her and watched farther while thinking when is the right time to chime in. Honestly, this is fun to watch. D*mn, Dee's hot! A rare moment to cherish and adore. Yikes! But since she already backs off, two of the five treading to her being her supporters and one asked if she was fine and the other one patted her back. She nodded and showed a lopsided grin for coming to her and for the pat too. But then, two of Jasmin's friends came to the food court and weirdly looked at Jasmin then craned towards Dee thrice as to why they were erected and there was a small gap between them. With a fake smile, Jasmin paced to Dee's way and diminished their close proximity with her friends following behind.

"Yo parents surely didn't educate you eh? Sucks" Jasmin mimicked her whisper and sniggered joyously.

"Don't you have other things to do, d*g?" Syamila heard it and instantly questioned Jasmin.

"What the f*ck?" Aira(Jasmin's friend) swore and Jasmin seemed mad. This is going to be fun.

"Did she bullied you before, Dee?" Hani interrupted while tilting her eyebrows.

"Nay, I don't even sense her presence" Dee nonchalantly replied.

"Good. If she does this again in the future, just you wait plain insensitive woman. We gonna bite your ass" Hani emphasized the last 3 words to pay back what Jasmin did whilst the other 3 of her close colleagues threw daggers at Jasmin in case this brainless woman wants to taunt her again.

"Bullsh*t, scumbags!" Khairina interjected.

"Oho, you wanna try also, bastard?" Syamila monotonously queried and rolled her peepers.

"Whatever, losers!" Jasmin raised her voice with a not so intimidating mug. Tch!

"See yer, kn*bhead" Hani said while showing a queen wave.

'S*d! I can't handle this anymore. Why this ass is still here? Go away with your friend la' She cursed internally.

"Thank you, Hani, Syamila" Her lopsided smile turned to a sincere one.

"My pleasure" Syamila and Hani said in unison but the latter exaggeratedly added "boss" and raised her arm in a triumph salute.

"Let's sit back" She summoned. The two nodded and walked back sitting at their table.

One of the three told her if she or anyone do that again to her, beat them, it will be satisfying. Hani exclaimed that she has silat skill so she wants to see her use it to defend herself albeit it is wrong to misuse the self-defence education. Still, they want to see it once before they die. They will be by her side and help her if she needs it. The others agreed with that. Just tell them and they will work it out together as well as beat the h*ll out of them for her if she felt sympathy to the antagonist.

They heartily laughed at the remarks and with amusement, Syamila clapped on the table numerous times. Could not hold her laughter. Those remarks were hilarious. Dee just nodded because she knows she could not stop them. She accepted whatever they offered as they looked genuine and she knew she will not fulfil their wants and will not follow their advice unless someone forced her. A smidgen of obstinate and froward seldomly but did it anyhow.

She hastily paced away putting the bowl in a basin under the sink at the left corner and went to a tranquil place. All of them gazed at her weirdly then looked at each other. The three excused themselves as they had tasks to be done early after zuhr and asked Hani and Syamila if they could check on her. They want to know what was wrong with her but sadly could not. Worriedly, Hani and Syamila sprinted and followed her after bidding goodbye to them. Neither Syamila nor Hani knows where she was headed but Hani has a good intuition thus she leads them.

Hani's intuition was right. She was in a breastfeeding room alone. The room was crowded usually on weekends and not many today. "I don't wanna see her again! What a burden! I don't even disturb her! How come she knows my secret??! How dare she mention my parents as well" Dee's muttered were audible. They heard them and snapped to immediately called her. Her face was boiling red with smoke. This is not good. They tried to appease her anger nonetheless.

"We're sorry for intruding. Hope you don't mind" Syamila said while panting. "How about I treat you anything but expensive? Come on, we don't have much time" Hani pulled her hands together with Syamila, not caring what her answers were. They leisurely went to a supermarket together with Deevgrinning ear to ear as Hani will treat her today. Yes! Dee chose to get chocolate and ice cream while the other two also grabbed ice cream but chocolate. Too many sweets, no. They carried on working after their break time ended.
