39 How Is My Flirting Skill? (1/2)

After breakfast, Mr. Jokovic bring all of his family to the woods area that he already booking yesterday.

They drive out with two car to the location. Alan was sit behind him with Vladimir and Aslan on the passenger seat. While the girls was drive by the chauffeur in another car.

They arrived before noon and they walk into the medium size center mall. Inside is the mall is full with the rack of guns and shooting equipment.

”Where are we?” Alan ask Hazel beside him. They wear a thick fur coat with fur earmuff.

”We're in my dad's shooting sport center.” she said.

Mr. Jokovic turn around and drag Alan to the counter. He said to him ”Pick your weapon.”

”What?” Alan was dumbfound a moment.

”Your test today is 'hunting'. so you need to choose your weapon wisely. And your competitor is Vlad. He's good at shooting. Surpass him if you can.” he explain.

”Oh..” he nod and then his eyes searching for a good gun. ”Eh, hold on! Don't you said training? Why it turn to be the test?” Alan ask.

”It has to be a test. If you don't go trough the test, how would I know if you capable or not? If you fail my test , that is when you need to do the training.” Mr. Jokovic said making Alan nod in agreement with his logic.

”Alright then.” he continue to search his weapon again.

Somehow he feel like he knew all of this weapon and he feel like he familiar with this kind of setting.

His eyes then focus on the shotgun that hanging on the wall. He point his finger at the shotgun and said. ”I pick that one.”

”That's old.” Mr. Jokovic squint his eyes toward the shotgun.

”Yeah, but it's good for hunting in the woods. I like old school style.” he said.

Mr. Jokivic then instructed the man inside the counter to give him the shot gun and the bullet.

Vlad choose a modern type of gun. Madam Laura and Natasha wait at the Vip lounge, while Hazel and Aslan follow them into the wood.

Because it is Christmas day, not so many people at the shooting center. The ranger bring them at the mountain area where is not many people come here.

”Okay, so the winner is decided by how big and heavy is his prey. You only need to shoot at one target. Got it?” Mr. Jokovic ask both of them.

Vladimir and Alan nod. They stick as one group and walk around the area. Hazel were follow behind Alan and Aslan.

Aslan look really happy and excited. He thought it was like in a game he used to play with Alan back at home.

The area was fill with the snow and all the surrounding is white. It's hard to located the target as they all is basically is a wild animal and hard to spot on especially when it's covered with the snow.

After almost one hour they walk, Vladimir spot a deer not far from them. He halt all other to not move.

He pointed his gun and shoot at the deer. It was a medium size of deer. Aslan were totally in shock by the gunshot sound and the fallen deer not far fromtheir spot.

He immediately run to Alan and hug his legs.

”No…” he whimpering.

Alan feel a bit guilty. He should not let Aslan come to this mountain. It's not a good place for a kid like him. He then sigh before he bent and carry him in his arm.

”It's okay buddy. I know you scared.” he patted on his back and look at Hazel.

She was daze in a moment, looking at him and Aslan. Noticing that Alan try to calm Aslan down, she walk to him.

”Aslan.. it just…” she stop. She does not have a good word for him. He's too young to learn about it.

”It's okay..the deer will go straight to heaven.” she said slowly.

”Yeah buddy, we'll see it again later. Don't worry.” Alan also encourage him.

Nod, he look at Alan. ”Will you also do the same to the other deer?”

This time Alan was totally struck by his word. How he should reply him? If he didn't shoot any prey, he will not get the blessing to marry Hazel. He loves both of them.

After a long thought, he smile to Aslan.

”if..I only shoot at the dangerous animal, will you forgive me?” he said.

”Hm? What animal?” he tilt his head.

”Well, you know.. the one who intend to eat other animal..”
