After her husband's departure, for years the Grandmother harbored her husband's last request for the debt. For the same reason, the Grandmother also wanted to maintain the ancestral tradition. But the grandmother could now understand what her late husband was feeling. The promise was like a huge chunk of stone that was piercing the heart and continuously gnawing at his mind with a feeling of guilt. That's why now he wants to keep that promise.
"My husband.please help me to find their whereabouts." Her tears flowed down both of her cheeks as she closed her eyes.
A while later..
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
"Mrs Big. Lunch is ready." The voice of secretary Jang came from outside the door of the Grandma's office.
Silent.......
Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok
"Great Lady? Lunch is ready."
Silent.......
Cklek..!
Secretary Jang opens the door to Grandma's study because there is no answer from the inside.
"I'm in the Big Lady. Eat the si--"
"Great Lady?!!" Shouted Secretary Jang when he saw the Grandmother drooping with a sloping position in her work chair.
Soon Secretary Jang checks on Grandma and picks up her cell phone.
"Doctor Lee, the Great Mistress is unconscious. Please come immediately." said Secretary Jang when contacting the family doctor.
A few moments later..
"Doctor Lee, how's my mother doing?" ask Mr. Kim who came after being contacted by Secretary Jang.
"The Great Lady will be fine after resting. I will give you a prescription so that his condition can recover soon."
"Thank you Doctor Lee."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Madam."
"I'll take the Doctor." Said Secretary Jang while welcoming Doctor Lee.
"Mom is conscious...?" lady Kim asked as she watched Grandma open her eyes.
"Mother is fine." replied the Grandma in a soft voice.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" asked Mr. Kim who was standing next to Grandma's bed.
"Mom only remembered about your father.about your father's last request.."
"Mothers are so afraid that they can't be found anymore because it's been too long.how do you answer to your father later.."
"Mother don't worry, I'll hire another detective to help with the investigation."
"Mom rest, Mom.."

At the same time..
"It's exhausting..." David complained when he just arrived at his house.
Ting!
David's phone rang and he checked it.
"Sir, Grandma just fainted! My mom's gone to Grandma's house." Fill in Jasmine's message.
David who was very worried after reading the message immediately called his mother's phone to find out the state of the Grandmother.
"Ma, is Grandma okay? How's Grandma doing now?" asked David in an anxious tone.
"Doctor Lee's been checking on Grandma and Grandma is fine now. Just need a break." replied Mrs Kim.
"Grandmother would be happy if you took the time..Grandma was reminded of the late Grandpa and about the promise.because that's the condition of Grandma was not good earlier.."
"Make sure you take your time this week..."
"Yes Ma, David will try." said David before ending the call.
"Hhhhh......" David let out a long sigh as he again laid down on the sofa.
"Married..." David muttered as he looked at the sky of the room.
"If only he hadn't pursued his dream of going Abroad, surely we were married.and surely I wouldn't have had to fulfill the wedding vows made by this Grandpa."
"Wait a minute. What if the granddaughter of the family is a man? Jasmine's? Haha." David narrowed his eyes and saw the tip of his lips curving upwards. At that instant he immediately grabbed his phone and contacted Jasmine.
"Jasmine, do you know that you have a marriage vow with Grandpa's granddaughter? If it's a woman, you have to marry her.if it's a man, then just be ready you have to marry her. HAHAHAHAHA" David immediately ended the call with a loud laugh.
Ting!
"So David called me just to say that? Basic iseeeeeeng!! Jasmine has a boyfriend!" Jasmine wrote in her message.
"O can't.The promise must be kept." replied David while disturbing his sister.
"But Grandma and Papa Mama didn't say that Jasmine should get married if their granddaughter is a man."
"Maybe they forgot.later Brother reminded them.."
"Sir Daviiiiid! What a sih!" Shouted Jasmine with an annoyed tone in his voice message to make David laugh even more loudly because it had managed to disturb his sister.

Three days later..
"Have you been found?" mr. Kim said as he received a call from someone.
"You go and report to the Big Lady's residence now. I'll be there now too."
"What's the matter Pa?" ask Mrs Kim who was sitting next to her.
"Let's go to Mom's house. They've found traces of the boy."
When Mr and Mrs Kim arrived at the Grandmother's residence, they were waiting for two detectives who had been hired by the Kim family to dig up information.
"Tell us, where are they now?" mr. Kim asked the two detectives standing before them.
"Before the couple died in the great riot at that time, they left their only son to a confidant in their residence and sent them to another country."
"Where?" ask the Grandma.
"Indonesia." replied one of the detectives.
"Then? Did you find him?" ask Mr. Kim.
"Already Sir. Their son was raised as a child by his parents' workers and the child's name was changed to an Indonesian name for safety and later married an Indonesian woman and had a daughter. Their daughter's name was Lin Mei Hua." The detectives told me in turn.
"Lin. according to your father's friend's clan." Said the Grandma while holding Mr. Kim's arm.
"Have you found out where they live?" ask Mr. Kim again.
"Unfortunately after his parents' workers died, the family's son and his wife were deceived by the worker's wife and children. All the family property that should have belonged to the son was transferred to the children of the worker. Then the family's son and his son and his wife went through a difficult situation until they both died and only their daughter was left alone."
"Where is their daughter now?"
"Their only daughter now lives in Korea not long since her mother's death."
"In Korea?" ask Grandma, Mr and Mrs Kim at the same time.
"really. He was a worker at a church in the area. His Indonesian name is Eve, Eve Lin." The detective gave a photo to Grandma.
"Eve Lin? Where have I heard this name?" Mumbled Mr. Kim who felt familiar when he heard the name.
"Pa. Isn't that the name of Jasmine's new friend from Indonesia?" ms. Kim said as she held the arm of her husband sitting next to her.
