Gania & Mr. Thom

Painted Palette Incident

"I want to be happy like my friend Thom. Happy playing with his\-grandson. Even if my friend had to die, he would have calmed down. The next generation has many. No need to bother thinking about the future fate of his business anymore not even need to fear death because his navel will be full of fresh flowers\-flowers gifts from his grandchildren\-grandchildren."

Grandpa Hong's voice sounded very sad. No one dared to interrupt Grandpa Hong's words. Gania who was busy painting stopped her brushstrokes on the canvas. He wanted to pay serious attention to what Grandpa Hong said.

Today Grandpa Hong just visited his old friend. According to Grandpa Hong, his old friend lived a very happy life with 12 grandchildren. There seemed to be seeds of envy in Grandpa Hong's heart. Grandpa Hong wanted to be like his friend as well.

During this time Grandpa Hong was often asked that Mr. Thom get married immediately. But Mr. Thom always said, there is a reason to avoid a serious relationship with women. In his entire life Mr. Thom rarely had any business with women. There are probably only two women in the world who are really\-close to the life of Mr. Thom, first his mother and second is Gania.

His mother, Mr. Thom, has been dead since he was a teenager. So right now only Gania is the one\-only woman who interacts with Mr. Thom the most. All the guards, subordinates, until the people\-people who lived in the residence of Mr. Thom were men except Gania. There was one woman who lived in the house besides Gania, Bibi Bum. But Aunt Bum rarely interacts with Mr. Thom. He only takes care of the\-things related to Gania.

"If I die Thom, who will sprinkle flowers on my belly? just you and Gania? Oh, my God, it's so quiet for my grave."

Grandpa Hong's words were getting more and more terrifying. He even dared to bring death. Gania further adjusted her sitting position. The beautiful artificial lake in front of him was no longer interesting to paint. That day Mr. Thom, Grandpa Hong, Gania, Izako and some of Mr. Thom's confidants spent the afternoon in an artificial lake. They were relaxing which had only started with a light conversation. But what is it that shifts the topic of conversation into this very serious direction.

"You must marry Thom, as soon as possible. Give me a grandchild, give me the happiness that an old man in his seventies should have received."

All eyes were on Mr. Thom. Obviously it is not a question or an offer but rather a firm instruction. But those given instructions were cool in chewing small pieces of fruit. Mr. Thom seemed to put on a very relaxed face, more precisely not caring.

"Peter, show us the list!", Grandpa Hong ruled decisively.

Peter turned on a sophisticated projector that could show images clearly even in sunlight. His hand was busy playing a tab that seemed to have important data to show. Everyone's faces started to get curious.

"First, Julia Richard . 25 Years old, a beautiful young professor. The origin of New Yok, typical of modern women who are very dynamic but very sensual".

In order to hear Peter's explanation, Mr. Thom choked on the piece of fruit he ate. He coughed\-cough to then immediately protest at his father.

"What\-what the fuck is this dad? Why is there a picture of a beautiful woman there? And what do I have to say about this woman?", Mr. Thom began to feel confused.

"Gania, lend Grandpa your big pallet board!"

"The child's base doesn't know itself, it's been 40 years but there's no feeling at all", Grandpa Hong screamed while banging the wooden pallet into Mr. Thom's body many times.

Mr. Thom tried many\-times to also fend off Grandpa Hong's punch, but still the palette hit his body. Grandfather Hong, despite his 70s, his agility was invincible.

Gania screamed to see Mr. Thom beaten up like that.

"Stop Kek, stop it!"

Mr. Thom's face and clothes are full of\-color paint. If only the person who beat him up now was not his father, it was certain that Grandpa Hong would end up inside the lake. Izako, Peter and the others just looked on awkwardly but also held back a little bit of laughter.

"How dare you ask like that Thom" Grandpa Hong's voice sounded up.

"Of course that's a list of women you can choose to be Thom's wife. There are hundreds maybe even thousands of women you can choose right now. There are girls if you are not loyal, there are also widows of one child, widows of two children, widows of three children, widows of twelve children also exist".

Gania, Izako, Peter and everyone else could no longer hold back their laughter. They were clearly laughing over Mr. Thom's afflicted. Mr. Thom was busy wagging his chatty shirt. Mr. Thom was secretly so upset that his father had to pick a painting palette to hit him. What is the difficulty of using chairs, wood or even tables.

"Peter, don't go on. Just give me all the data of that woman\-woman. I'll decide who I'm going to marry."

Peter immediately provided the data requested by Mr. Thom. Mr. Thom went straight from the edge of the lake. Grandpa Hong seemed to be dissatisfied with upsetting Mr. Thom. He shouted at Mr. Thom who was getting away.

"Tomorrow morning Thom, tomorrow at most I already know what name of the woman you chose. That night I'll bring the woman in front of you".

Mr. Thom passed by without looking. His heart was really upset this time. It was true that he had to be humiliated like this in front of everyone. Mr. Thom's pride seemed to evaporate no longer left.

Without being explained at length by Grandpa Hong, actually Thom had realized that sooner or later he had to get married. But the problem was that Thom felt that no woman could make him feel comfortable and confident. All the women who approached him were more like predators that only made him easy prey to squeeze his property.

Mr. Thom is handsome, wealthy and obviously very authoritative. Just one blink of an eye, a woman can bend her knees in front of her. But some say, sometimes the more qualified a person, the more difficult it will be to find someone who is right for him. In this case, Mr. Thom's qualities actually make it difficult to find someone who can make him comfortable and trust.

Tomorrow morning, Mr. Thom will show you who he's interested in. Mr. Thom wishes that Peter would really give him good data. If not, it will be really windy.
