"Who goes there?" an old man stated. 

"It's your hug bug and her boyfriend," Adara replied.  

Her father opened the door. "My hug bug!" He hugged Adara. "So, this is the young man you wanted me to meet... Plant a firm one on me, Ashihiro." He extended his hand for a handshake. Ashihiro gave him a firm handshake. 

"The last 3 boyfriends she had gave me a limp handshake. Anyways, what's our name?"

"Ashihiro Emararudo," he replied. "Your daughter told me a lot about you."

"I see. You seem like you have it all together. Hope you're not like her sorry-ass exes. You work anywhere?"

"No, sir. I'm gonna start searching though. I was thinking McDonald's or something like that. Maybe Burger King. Or Walmart.'

"The nearby Walmart is hiring. I work there too. And you can call me Donald."

"Yes, Donald, sir. Where's your wife?" he asked. 

"Grocery shopping. Also asked her to pick me up a cane sugar soda."

"Is it ture you were a boxer?" Ashihiro asked. 

"I was a boxer. I was 15-1, and I tried MMA as well. I was 2-3 in that sport. MMA is a young person's game; I was too old for it. I still watch it though; my favourite fighters are Khabib Nurmagomedov, Royce Gracie, Georges St-Pierre, and Tony Ferguson."

"My favourites are Derrick Lewis, Francis Ngannou, Khabib, Merab Dvalishvili, Nate Diaz, Nick Diaz, Anderson Silva, Henry Cejudo, Demetrious Johnson, and Leon Edwards," Ashihiro replied. "I wanna be an MMA fighter myself.'

"I won't be able to watch you fight then, sadly." Donald sighed. 

"What makes you say that?" Adara and Ashihiro asked.

"I have stage 4 cancer. My smoking habits caught up to me... I won't be around for long..."

Adars's voice started breaking. "Y-You're joking!"

"I wish I was joking, but I'm, not..." 

Ashihiro was speechless. "You can't die! I wanna spend more time with you..."

"We can. But I only have one day left to live."

Ashihiro sighed. "I understand."
