The President Enters the Village
Snow Drops

Today it still feels as cold as before. There were no flowers blooming at all other than the snow drop, beautiful little flowers there were many in the courtyard of Grandfather Fu's house.

Slowly the grandfather wore a warm scarf, his nose slightly flushed due to the cold air. Wearing a knitted hat, some upholstered clothing and gloves, approached his silent grandson, crouched down staring at the snow drop flowers.

His granddaughter really looks beautiful, similar to his dead wife. Only the difference in skin color decreased from him. Warm white jacket with fluffy fur on the exposed part of its head cover, with black trousers, thick white gloves, white hairy ear warmers, white fluffy ear warmers, completely covered clothing protects itself from the cold weather. Long wavy hair unravels, slightly browned, eyes that are not squinty at all, look beautiful.

Proud to have such a granddaughter, so beautiful."Hana you're not planning on going to college?" tanyanya approached the grandson.

"Later, if grandfather is better, I will return to the village, majoring in agriculture," answered the woman's mouth, rising up to guide the grandfather, sitting in the gazebo.

"Grandfather respects and values your profession and your father as farmers, but don't you want to stay here to help Shin? Grandfather will send people to help your father," is old enough, but for a man his age, Grandpa Fu is quite healthy. He even practiced Wushu at his age.

Sick hard? It was only an excuse for him to summon his newly known single grandson to Japan. He was forced to leave the woman he married, the woman who was pregnant with his child. As a low-ranking soldier there is no right to speak.

Leaving it with heavy strides, with just a flute of his giving. The illiterate woman, who had been taught her country language, was taught to write using the letters hiragana and katakana. Long enough together, maybe about three years.

An invader who loves ordinary village women. Feelings that should not be intertwined from two people that are difficult to be together. A tacit marriage that brings a small fetus that he must leave behind.

Searching for? Fu had been trying to find him, right after the condition of his country stabilized, after he could raise enough money. However, had dozens of years passed by then, looking for him? His wife had disappeared there was no trace at all. All he could do, was return to his country in disappointment, still mobilizing people to look for him.

Now, after decades, his wife had long since died, even the fetus that his wife had conceived, had grown up, had a child, had also gone before him.

Now all that's left is the child, the child who grew up with a face as beautiful as his grandmother, skin as white as himself.

Still remembered clearly in his mind, when he was with a younger face, wearing warrior clothes. The wife he secretly married came with a simple meal he cooked himself, wrapped in teak leaves.

Just wanted the grandson to accompany her here, when those beautiful days had long passed. His wife and daughter are dead. But, can it?

Hana shook her head, "Since mom died dad was always alone. Can you stay with us in the village?"

Fu clenched his forehead, "I'll ask your father to stay here with you,"

The woman chuckled softly sighing harshly, "Please argue you guys are both stubborn,"

The grandfather stared at the snow falling. The cold air was piercing, Hana grabbed a small flask in her pocket, poured warm tea, used her little iron lid, "It was cold" she told the grandfather, offering warm tea.

Fu immediately grabbed it, the good grandson was not greedy for wealth and power, he could not let go of Hana easily. Until one crazy thought came to mind, "Where is Shin handsome?"

Hana nodded, "Many villagers are amazed at her,"

"Although quiet, he is kind, clever, obedient, typical of a husband who will be subject to his wife" the grandfather smiled, still thinking of how to hold his granddaughter.

"Then?" Hannah nodded suspiciously.

"Didn't you like it?" fu asked, it's not useless to adopt Shin at times like this.

"Grandfather wants to match me? I'm married..." Hana gave a small laugh, took off her gloves, showing the ring on her ring finger.

Fu scowled his own temple, sighing harshly,"With the doctor?" the question is on Haikal.

Hana shook her head, "His name is Jono, he's a small landowner who owes his father a debt. Because I liked it, I asked my father to marry us," he said bowed, his fingers stroking the wedding ring on his ring finger.

"Then why isn't he the one who accompanied you here?" tanyakanya.

"Cold air is not good, let's go in" he continued, to guide the grandfather.

But unexpectedly, the grandfather quickly removed the ring on his grandson's ring finger. Throw it on a snow pile."Grandfather left your grandmother with heavy steps, because of the circumstances back then. But your husband left my beautiful grandson for another woman. Don't remember it!!" firmly the grandfather.

Hana stared at the pile of snow among the several blooming snow drop flowers, her tears flowing, immediately caressed by it."Grandfather was right.." Only two words were spoken from his lips. Smiling again, guiding the grandfather through the corridor.

"Master.." a servant saluted him, the man who walked in with his secretary.

Not showing any expression, staring at everything. The face of the cold-hearted youth was as cold as snow.

Until dinner time has arrived, Hana and some of the chefs who cook today serve a variety of warm dishes.

"This is special for me, tomorrow I will go home, so invite a lot." said Haikal, who took another spoon.

"Racus..." Hana shook her head in wonder. Then take some vegetables and meat to the grandfather's bowl, "Eat a lot, to be healthy quickly,"

While Shin was just bowed, his hands bandaged inexplicably, starting to eat vegetables. Until the granddaughter of the grandfather who adopted him took meat for him put it on his bowl, "You're not a robot, if you don't like my cooking just say it!!"

The young man shook his head, "I like it!!" he said eat well. Immediately take more meat.

"Basic..." Hana gave a small laugh, staring at the submissive machine.

While Haikal, taking his handycam, started recording him eating quickly,"Juragan, Hana is fine here, the robot has started to obey him. And Grandpa Fu, also looks healthy. So Hana can go home soon," he said, still recording, considering that tomorrow he must return, because he can not take a longer leave in the hospital. Footage to show the master, his daughter is fine here.

"I'm not well!!" fu shouted, breaking the table, not wanting his granddaughter to come home immediately.

"God..." Haikal was surprised, almost dropping his handycam.

The day was getting late, Shin was still busy doing his heaping work. Take off his reading glasses for a moment, take off the fatigue.

The small drawer of his study was opened by him, the hand clothes wrapped in bandages grabbed the wedding ring he picked up.

The ring she was looking for was among the snow drop flowers, under some snow piles. Bandages in his hands? It was all because of looking for a ring in a pile of cold snow, making his fingers numb, reddened, and slightly swollen.

His face suddenly smiled, putting Hana's ring back into the drawer. Refocused on doing his job.

Seriate

...Because the little flower, as if giving hope, the cold snow will melt, the warm spring will return......
