A week later
Grandma ordered Thau Tua’s mother, Lim Lau Bo to the century old, infamous “Tua Pek Kong” temple to seek the divine's help to calculate the compatibility of the couple.
Therefore, Madam Lau Bo secretly took her son’s birth particulars and that of his fiancee to Master Bo Nau. According to Chinese beliefs, every individual’s fate and luck very much lies on their date and time of birth. The marriage of two individual are also dependent of the compatibility of their date of birth in the Chinese almanac.
Meanwhile, Madam Lau Bo is feeling apprehensive about the results. There is a strange feeling of unease gnawing some where in her stomach. She shakes her head, aghast at such thoughts. It would be disastrous if the birthdates don’t match.
The invitation cards are well distributed to all relatives and friends……the entire villagers are invited to the grand occasion.
The compatibility results would definitely jeopardize the occasion if it turn out otherwise.
Madam Lau Bo sigh….
She decides to burn some incense and pray to the deities in the temple…hoping things would turn out fine.
Anxiously and patiently, everyone waited for Master Bo Nau to check into his thick partially torn almanac book. He occasionally played with his fingers as if he’s counting something. Then he rolled a pair of wooden crescent shaped block onto the floor.
When will the results be ready..? Soon…
