Part-433
For a second, it’s dead silent in the room. You could hear the defted basketballs sighing in the corner. Then, slowly, like dominoes falling one by one, nods start popping up around the room. Hesitant at first, kinda shaky, like people are still processing. But they’re nodding.
Arshad, of course, is the first one to fully commit. Big grin spreads across his face, all teeth and excitement. “An enigma, you say?” He ughs. “Dude, I’m so in! Let’s absolutely bamboozle the heck outta Motijheel! They won’t know what hit ‘em!”
Sajid’s still got that slightly skeptical look on his face, like he needs to see receipts before he fully believes, but he’s intrigued, you can tell. He nods too, more decisively this time. “Alright, Captain,” he says, “I’m in. Let’s see if this ‘enigma’ thing is actually gonna work. Color me intrigued.”
Ahsan, ever the voice of reason, the guy who thinks things through before jumping in headfirst, gives a slow, thoughtful nod. Like he's running simutions in his brain, calcuting all the possible outcomes. “Okay, Kiyoshi,” he says, voice still calm and steady, but you can hear a hint of… something… maybe excitement? “I trust your gut on this one. Let’s make this whole ‘enigma’ thing actually work. No pressure or anything.”
Even Robi, our resident gentle giant who usually lets his actions speak louder than words, offers a quiet but solid nod. It’s not fshy, but it’s firm. Like, “Yeah, I’m in. Let’s do this.” And when Robi nods, you know it’s legit. The rest of the team follows suit, one by one. You can see the surprise fading away, repced by this weird mix of curiosity, like “Okay, what’s gonna happen?”, excitement, like “This could be epic!”, and maybe just a little bit of nervous anticipation, like “Please don’t let this blow up in our faces.”
Tahera finally looks up from her notepad, pen still in hand, but she’s got this little smirk pying on her lips. A glint of amusement in her eyes, like she’s been low-key entertained by the whole dramatic reveal. “Well, Kiyoshi,” she says, with a hint of a smile that’s just barely there, “you definitely know how to keep things from being boring, I’ll give you that. ‘Unleash the enigma’… Has a nice ring to it, I gotta admit. Real dramatic.” She chuckles softly, a little pyful jab at Kiyoshi’s theatrics. “Just… please tell me this enigma dude can actually ball. Like, actually py basketball. And not just, you know… stare intensely at the other team until they get so creeped out they forfeit out of sheer terror.”
And just like that, the whole room just erupts in ughter. Seriously, like a pressure valve just released all the tension. Suddenly, the air felt lighter, the sweaty gym sock smell even seemed a little less offensive. Okay, maybe not less offensive, but you get the vibe. Everyone was buzzing with this mix of "OMG, are we really doing this?" and "Okay, this could actually be kinda epic."
