The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
THE GEISHA AND MOMIJI DREAM PART 6. The Number One Geiko
I never saw Mr. Derrick again, only once when I was Maiko, I didn't dare to call him of course. I was afraid of being considered impolite, if Bibi knew I was intentionally calling someone she would have scolded me all out.
I once asked my brother Himari about Derrick Tan.
"Sister, last night there was one young man who joined, Mr. Derrick Tan, do you know him?"
"Hmm.I think I've met him once. He does not live here, but often here, his superior is in Hong Kong, Mr. Yamada's son, he said, some are married to one of the Hong Kong businessman's families and Derrick is one of the Hong Kong businessman's confidants. This guy's some kind of we4 business liaison."
"Ohh that's how it is, ..."
"You know him? Last night it seemed she knew you?" My brother was also curious, only this time did I ask specifically about the guest that caught my attention.
"I've met him at my father's funeral." And he's being sincere even now he can still remember me.
It is true that my life is not always down as he said, if we continue to try to walk, climb and continue to be positive one day there will be a better way. Although it might have been unimaginable at first to live a life like this before.
He's stingy believe me, even though I'm his nephew he ordered his accountant to account for every penny. Maybe because he's been through a time when even a penny would be worth it.
In that time he has starred in several advertisements, became a popular Geiko in Gion, became a tourism ambassador with his face plastered on various tourist posters, meeting with many important people from outside brought guests because I can speak English well and maybe my conversation is interesting to entertain guests.
I'm always wanted for meetings involving strangers. Even sometimes I often serve the schedule of meetings in ochaya (tea house) Tokyo. I even have some kind of assistant who sets my schedule.
I was a bit of an elite Geiko who specialized in serving corporate events and government people. My rates are above average because of my skill and popularity. My life as an art worker is probably at its best.
One of my advantages that only a handful of geisha have. I was pretty quick to learn a foreign language, in my school days I was trying desperately to learn a foreign language, and I'm picking up the results now, and I've learned Mandarin as my third language.
Of love? Actually Geisha/Geiko are not allowed to have lovers. Their lives are dedicated to art, but of course times have changed, and there have been irregularities around us.
But especially for me, there's an aunt who looks after me like porcelain. He's serious about this...Touching me has to face him. Ordinary people don't have a chance to touch me. It's no wonder I'm a symbol of his okiya success. A lot of new Maiko suitors came by looking at my name.
Touching me should show good faith appropriately. The definition of merit here is heavy enough to be fulfilled, or perhaps because I have never met the right person to be my danna. After all Danna should involve heart and long-term relationships.
