Pious but Evil

Verdict of Love: The Proposal

Captain Kamzan immediately reported to the higher officials. And asked for a big favor again. He asked his superior to transfer him to Yerein's hometown. The old man paused for a while but let his favorite student won the argument. He let him followed his heart,since it was obvious that nothing could intervene on the raging heart of his handsome lion.

"I would like to ask for your daughter's hand"

Kamzan finally traced where Yerein's home was.

"You are late boy;someone laid down his intention to marry my child" it was futile to try because the old man had already decided to accept the first marriage proposal.

"They are not in love" with certainty in his voice the captain sailed the words.

"Yes,but my child and you are not in love too" the old man fought again

"I love your daughter" a heartfelt confession but the old man's heart was thick and heavy to be moved

"But my daughter doesn't love you"

"I believed that she doesn't love also the other candidate"

"I know what's good for her and she is not a disobedient child" when he sensed that he would lose the argument he immediately used the"father card".

"Are you proclaiming that I will ruin her future?" the hightone was obvious because the captain was angry

"What can you promise to her? A life full of waiting?a flag on the top of your coffin? A restless heart when there is a war?"

"You sound like it is a sin to be a warrior"

"Soldier like you must never build a family" Mr.Maridum stood up from the sofa,he wanted to retire from this painful talk. He knew that he would not win without hurting the young captain's pride.

"Why?"
He bitterly asked.

"A soldier's home is delicate and vulnerable"

"We will all going to die,it is inevitable,but this truth musn't stop us from being happy,forecasting a war that doesn't start yet,is like putting your future on your hand"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the future is not in my hand it is in my Lord,the only thing I can do is to live without regret and to love for Allah's sake"

"My daughter already suffered enough,you have all what the woman desires,you can marry the woman you want"

"But I want your daughter"

"I apologize ,this talk is over"
The old man said while opening the door for the captain. The captain had no choice but to get out.

"This badge was being taken away from him"

Old captain grandpa transported himself to where Yerein located just to meet Yerein's dad. He heard from Nico that Kamzan failed on his first mission.So here he was putting one by one on the table the badges of his favorite captain.

"This badge is a sign of his survival"
The captain continued on presenting the badge

"This badge connotes his heroic act"
Nothing and no one could stopped him

"This badge signifies his bravery"
He really couldn't help not to brag and not to be proud while showing all the young captain's achievements

"This badge symbolized his love for his country" and he continued

"These badges were his life,his heart,his breathing but it were all forgotten when he met your daughter" and continued

"You are the captain's captain"
Mr.Maridum couldn't understand on why the old man presented all those badges to him. He was amazed because those badges couldn't be achieved by an ordinary soldier,he was surprised that this veteran soldier was a young man.

"Yes,but today I am the captain's father"

"So he sent you here to persuade me?"
He got it now. He brought it all of it to win his approval.

"No he didn't know I am here"

"Your son already gave up,you must give up too"

"my son never gives up,and I know he can still marry your daughter without my help"

"Stop bothering me,I am have many meetings and one of these is my meeting with my future son in law" Yesterday he met the young captain and now another captain visited his house. He kept on entertaining them with confusion in his eyes. He didn't really know who these captains were .

"These badges are supposed to be attached on the captain's uniform,do you wonder why these are all in my possession now?"

"I am not interested about your son's story"

"He sacrificed all of these to save your child"

After the incident of Yerein's case, Kamzan surrendered all his badges. He said he didn't deserve it and he didn't need it. The higher officials took it and respected his decision. He was demoted to a lower rank. He was officer Kamzan now but his colleagues and troops still called and saw him as their captain. For them it was a law that they didn't want to alter.

"What?"
This was the first time he heard it. The gorgeous captain didn't properly introduce himself. He just went there and immediately asked for his daughter's hand. He thought the man was just one of Ye-re's obsessed stalkers.

"That look...is a genuine shock,so he didn't tell you,that he was the one who saved Ms.Yerein"

"I didn't know,so he is the one?"
His heart calmed after knowing it. If he just knew that it was the man who saved his child he would give him his best respect.

"What is the reason for the sudden change of temper? Are you a bipolar?"

"I am a father,I just want to protect my child,there was someone that Yerein always talked about,the one who risked his life to save her,ahh my poor child,she didn't tell her Papa because I already chose her groom for her"

"I hope I didn't waste my time on meeting you"

"Thank you for giving this big information,my daughter always grants my request,she always willing to set aside her happiness"

"I am glad I could help,will you do me a favor ? Captain Kamzan's punishment is already over,the higher authority asked me to give it back to him,can you give it to your daughter?"

"Of course" the old father got the golden box while giving his best smile to the old captain.
