The Matrimony Page #3

---

She's been like this since she got here

We're unable to determine what exactly happened

Man Li...

Man Li.

Mother

It's all my fault...

Mother, what are you saying?

Man Li has come back for me

Mother...

It's all my fault...

Rong Ma.

Doomed...

Rong Ma

What happened?

Tell me!

What happened?

What are you doing?

Come with me!

Jun Chu!

Get over here

Have you gone out of your mind?

You evil spirit...

You don't even fear blessed water?

Who's evil? You're evil!

Don't try to fool me!

If you are not possessed

How come your tongue has turned black?

You'd better tell me everything

If not, we are all doomed

Madam was attacked by something evil

That's not possible...

Man Li is a good "person"

So you did befriend that evil thing

Spirits are spirits

There's no good nor bad

They're like wild beasts

No matter how long you keep them

How much you care for them

When they're hungry

They will turn around and bite you

Come and look at yourself

Look at you

It's slowly taking over you

The spirit has not only possessed you

It will ultimately replace you

Have you not heard of reincarnation?

That spirit is reincarnating itself within you!

No, she told me

Unless I allowed it

She would not be able to stay in my body

You...

You don't think they would lie?

They descend from human beings

They are no different from us

They will do anything and everything

To get what they want

Tell me

What does that thing want?

She...

She wants Jun Chu

I still remember

When Man Li passed away

The young master went crazy

He brought back all her belongings

And placed them in the attic

Nobody could stop him...

I had already sensed that something also

came into the house along with the possessions

But the young master wouldn't let

Anyone even touch those objects

He locked the room to himself

Other than him

No one was allowed in the attic

I was worried something would happen

But I had my hands tied...

All I could do was place three charm boards

Under the eaves and in the stairwell

Holding down the evil spirit

Preventing it from doing us any harm

The charm board...

Is it old and dirty

And had strange characters on it?

What, you've seen them?

You must have smudged the incantation

No wonder it couldn't restrain the spirit anymore

Ill fate...

You carry ill fate

I have to go back to the temple for help

When I go back

The ghost will come back to you for sure

Obey her as much as you can

Don't let her suspect that you know any thing

Or she will do to you

what she has done to Madame

Calm down

You must stay calm

Spirits usually

attach themselves to an object

You have to find it first

I know where it is

It's that radio

When you go back

Find an opportunity

To place this charm on it

It will keep the spirit at bay for one evening

Keep things in control

And wait for my return

I beg of you

Please let him go

I'm begging you, please

I am taking him with me

No

Please don't!

I will do whatever you want me to do

Please...

Really?

Anything I want?

Give me your body

I want to be with Jun Chu forever

Fine, but...

Can you give me a bit more time with Jun Chu?

Ever since we got married

Not once have I had a good meal with him

Like a normal couple would usually do

This is my last wish

Dinner is ready

You still have to tend to your mother later

You should eat more

Don't worry

Mother will be fine

Mother said, she saw Man Li

She's in a delusional state

You can't take her words too seriously

Where is the radio?

Where did you put it?

I'd like to put some music on

Oh, I put it in the bedroom closet

I'll go and fetch it

San San

San San

What's wrong?

Why didn't you answer me?

San San

How can it be?

How can it be?

Won't you hold me in your arms?

This is a dream...

I'm in a dream...

No, it's not a dream...

It's really me

All I could think about day and night was you

But you were never there

Till one day I finally convinced myself that

You're really gone...

You betrayed me

I know

you don't need me anymore

I once said

I would make a film about you

To forever keep your beauty

But you left so suddenly

And it was too late...

I looked for your pictures everywhere

In your hometown

Amongst your classmates

Your colleagues

I found your pictures one by one

And then filmed them one by one

After that

I edited them together frame by frame

Although you are not with me

I wanted to keep you alive and close to me

My feelings for you never changed

I have been repeating this to myself everyday

I, Shen Jun Chu

Would take Xu Man Li as my wife

From this day forward

For better or for worse

In sickness and in health

I will love and cherish you forever...

What say you?

I...

You said you would never change

Then why are you with San San?

You have no idea

How painful it is for me

To see you with someone else

I'm sorry

I thought you had left

And she was good to me...

I...

Then tell me

Between San San and me

Whom do you want to be with now?

I'd never let you leave me again

Rong Ma... Rong Ma!

What did you do to her?

She's the one that harmed your mother

Don't you get it?

I have to destroy her

Jun Chu!

San San

Don't be afraid

I'm fine

What did you do to San San?

Do it!

Stab the spike into her heart, now!

You betrayed me

I would never betray you

I would rather go with you

But let San San go

She's innocent

You are worried for her

Jun Chu

Man Li

Having been on my own most of my life

I will always remember

How I felt that day

An evening after dinner

The husband is reading

And the wife is tidying up...

The home of my dreams

And at that moment

My dream came true

Even if I know I am not in your heart

How could you do this?

The sorrowful spirit accepts her fate

We don't know whether San San lives or dies

Or how Jun Chu will stand through all of this

If it were you

What would you choose?

Some people say this is a story

About missed opportunities and regrets

My dear listeners

What do you think?

The story of "The Matrimony" ends here

Thank you for listening

Man Li, there's mail for you

Thank you

Man Li, after you left

"Will you marry me? Shen Jun Chu"

Xiao Rong

What happened at the end of the story

that was aired on the radio show yesterday?

The end?

How would I know?

I was with you the whole time

I didn't catch the end either
