Marry Her?
Yohan knew that his grandfather wanted him to marry that crazy woman.
Marry her?
Shoot him instead! What sin did he commit to be punished this way?
Yohan looked at the frail looking old man on the bed with cautiousness. He knew very well that his own grandfather set him up but he could not bear not to follow his wish.
The old man is looking sickly that invoked his pity in his heart.
Just that, he's not sure if the Jin he talked is the same Jin he knew.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?" he asked with so much hesitation on his heart.
"This..." the old man hesitated on telling him that the granddaughter of his old pal is a local tyrant.
"Grandpa... I know that you just want the best for me and I'm grateful for that. I'm not opposed to your suggestion but marrying a woman I don't even know is a huge thing for me..." Yohan tried to explain things to the old man.
After hearing what he said, the old man contemplated for a while and nodded with him like he agreed with what he just said.
"Well, how about this young lass, just meet her and see if you have a possibility of being together." the old man still stuck to his decision of marrying the girl despite of him being resistant to it.
"Okay grandpa... I'll see her but I won't promise anything to you. It's the last thing I could concede..."he said as he was preparing to leave.
"Okay. Thank you young lass. It's just that I am afraid to face the old man if I can't fulfill our promise..." he said with melancholy.
"It's getting late grandpa, I better get going. I still have some matters to attend to." Yohan straightened his clothes like there was any wrinkles out of habit.
"Yes. Be careful on your way..." seeing the young man before him getting impatient, he could not have the heart to let him stay with him.
Yohan turned his back and walked towards the door when the old man spoke, "Do you blame me?"
"No." he answered without looking back.
The old man sighed and tried to get up from the bed the moment Yohan closed the door.
From the other door, his assistant Mr. Fang stepped inside the room and stared at the old man with much respect.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
"Contact the Jins and set up a date where Yohan and that woman could meet. Then inform Yohan afterwards." the old man relayed his instructions.
"Yes Sir. I'll tend to it right away." after saying, he disappeared from the door where he came in first.
The old man was once again left alone in the room.
He went to the cabinet and pulled the drawer on the very bottom and picked up an old looking box from there.
He caressed it with so much care.
"Little Lan, we'll be seeing each other soon. Wait for me. I just hope that what I did was for the best."
After looking at the box with so much emotions, he gently put it down in the drawer and pushed the drawer to close it.
He walked towards the little garden outside his room and watered the plants.
....
Yohan went back to the military camp after he visited his grandfather and decided to see things clearly. He wanted to know if the situation is the same as he thinking.
After showering, he sat on his small bed and began to read some books to pass time when the phone rang. It was the very phone that General Jin gave to him.
The caller indentified as 'Lei'.
"Hello?"
"Come at the shooting range in the city. I'll teach someone a lesson." the voice was Lei's and commanded him like a boss.
"Okay."
