Capture Your Heart

“Nonsense! I just listen to the Buddhist stories to learn the lessons of life, which makes me feel better.”

“Really?” Troy eagerly asks.

“Yep.”

“Then hurry up and come back!”

“…” Karin rubs her forehead. “No, I have more stories to listen to.”

“What? I can tell you stories if you want. I promise my stories are the best ones that you’ve never heard before.”

“Save it! Your stories are nothing to the Buddhist stories, okay?”

“What’s wrong with you? How could you look down upon your fiancé? The Buddha won’t forgive you.”

“He will as I’m telling the truth.”

Troy is angry. “Don’t you talk to the fucking monks ever! You’ve been brain-washed by them to argue with me.”

“I want to be brain-washed. Hope you’d take a chance to be brain-washed by them, too.”

Then Karin breaks off the call.

Troy feels exasperated. Karin has hung up on him for the third time. He instantly makes up his mind not to call her anymore. He wants her to miss her and calls him.

It’s obvious that he has spoiled her. How can she ignore his husband’s dignity?
