“Nona, Hisao-san said he has done business with the Inagawa gangster, we will return to Tokyo today.” Early in the morning Mr. Takeru had stopped by okiya pamit to come home to me.
“Takeru-san, thank you for the help. I'm going to Tokyo next week again.”
“Good Miss, if there's anything else my phone.” He paused for a while before apparently talking to me again. “Nona Setsuko, actually I know Miss Dad. I used to be in charge of escorting the Great Lord's guests as well before escorting Mr. Hisao. Miss's father must have been calm to see the Miss who is now, he has always been proud of Miss when she was alive.”
“Really?”
“It does not feel dozens of years time has passed, now I can see Miss is indeed a child who boasts parents.”
“Mr Takeru, thank you. I can hear this like I heard Dad's wish materialized.”
“Your father must be proud Miss. He's my friend, back then I ran out of money I borrowed his savings for your college. Unexpectedly I had to return it as condolence money. Your Dad worked hard for you, supported your ideals, he said you wanted to go to finance college. But even though it is different now, but still whoever your parents must be proud of your achievements.” So that's it, not that Dad didn't work on it but the money was borrowed by his friend. “Maybe it's my chance to return your father's favor, until I can see my son now working well unlike me using muscles. Maybe Miss will be Mr. Hisao's family, I pray it will happen soon.”
“Mr Takeru, good Father to Dad. I'm just proud of Dad that his friend still remembers him. I am just an ordinary girl who is lucky to receive a lot of kindness. If Mr. Takeru needs anything, don't hesitate to talk. Dad's friend is also a friend I should respect.”
“Nona is too good like Miss.”'s Dad Mr. Takeru made a bow for me, which made me reluctant to accept it.
“Don't mention that again Takeru-san, I don't deserve your hunchback.”
“I don't know why, I'm glad to be able to say this to Miss. Expressing my gratitude and memories towards Miss Father, but I do not intend to burden Miss with any hope. I really didn't mean it.”
“I must thank Takeru-san for saying this.” He smiled, the beginning of this spring really makes the heart happy. I never thought someone would talk to me about Dad. A friend who knew him well.
I don't know when we can be together.
Whether her parents will approve of us, even if Kimiko's matter has been decided, the arranged marriage plan has been cancelled, does not mean that I will be accepted. I am now trying to put together some cooperation projects to help Yukio in Kyoto, working with hotel marketing turned out to be fun as well plus the commission is also quite good, Yukio also taught me well, how to handle negotiations, how to deal with negotiations, knowing the sales techniques, I was lucky enough that the network I had was very extensive, many years serving guests and getting acquainted with many people turned out to have many benefits as well.
Although Hisao said we were just waiting for approval. I still feel doubtful about myself, who I am that can be together with the most favored heir of the Yamada Clan to lead the family in the future. I tried my best to follow Yukio's guidance, and it seemed that the results I had obtained all this time satisfied Yukio. I don't know, but he always raised my heart, he supported me.
“Setsuko-san, you can even get the first ranking board in this three-month assessment. How can I not praise you, I can put you in Tokyo like this. These companies are mostly headquartered in Tokyo. Hisao-san has his own plans for you actually, he wants you to open your own tea house in Tokyo under the name okiyamu. And you can simultaneously promote other hotel businesses.”
“Yukio-san, you mean I left my current job.”
“Hmm..you'll be sister's wife, won't you be able to work at Gion again.”
“Will your family accept me?” Yukio smiled at my question.
“Setsuko-san, you don't have to worry. You've done your part well. Be patient, I support you, but I don't think it'll be long. If you're not welcome, it's been a long time since Grandpa won't let you see Hisao's brother again, but until now months after the matchmaking problem with Kimiko was over, Grandpa didn't take any action. After all, he introduced you to Hisao's brother. You should be a little optimistic Setsuko-san.”
