The news about Kenichi's engagement also came to his father's old business partner in Japan. Andrew had few old friends and ex-business partner there. However, since they were not in contact for so many years, Naturally, he forgot them and none of them were invited.
They did not dare to call Andrew to congratulate them or complaining. They just could talk among them self.
"I understand why I was not invited, but you two, you should have been invited. You guys are shareholders in his company" one man spoke during their golf time.
"He's no longer the shareholder. He sold all his share not long after his son resigned"
"It seems he resent us for not backing up his son" The other said.
"Seems so" Other agreed.
Coinsidently, on friday, TJ group held meeting. All shareholders were invited. After the meeting ended, one of the shareholders who knew Andrew stood up "Congratulation Chairman and Madam Matsunaga"
Grandpa Yamaguchi and His daughter were startled. They did not understand why the man congratulated them.
"Last weekend, Anderson family held a lavish enggament party for Kenichi in UK"
"How lavish ?" some on asked.
"It was held in castle. They hired more than 10 famous chefs around the world to cook"
"I heard it was attended by very important peoples from business man to politian. Even Royal across Europe came as well" The other said.
"Really ? who is the lucky girl ?" It was questions of most people there. They never heard Kenichi had girlfriend.
"Not sure, but it seems the girl family is not ordinary. The Anderson elders are very fond of her. They gave her their family heirloom during that event"
"Any pictures ?"
"No body allowed to bring camera or phone to the venue. Only photographer that the family hired were allow to take picture."
Grandpa Yamaguchi remembered that Kenichi came few weeks ago. He told his mother that his father were going to have party for him and asked his mother to come, but his mother turned him down.
Now, he knew what party that his grandson talked about back then.
The old man chest turned very heavy. He was angry and disappoint with his daughter. As mother, she had turned Kenichi down not only once but twice. She did not come when he proposed nor put any effort to meet Feng Family. Now, she did not even come to his enggement.
"Based on trustworthy source, the wedding will be held here. When is it ?" the people in meeting rooms were still on going.
"Looks like they have hired famous chefs for the wedding as well. The enggament was labelled at the enggament of the year, I just wonder what the wedding will be like"
"Chairman, Madam. You have to invite us"
Grandpa Yamaguchi just smiled bitterly and glared at his daughter.
"My friend there just told me that tonight Kenichi and his bride are invited to have dinner in the palace. After that, dinner with prime minister and others politian are already in schedule"
"Not only that, the couple also have accepted many more dinneriInvitation from different party in Europe"
On the other side of the table, a middle age man and a young woman face turned sour. They were Kenichi ex-fiancee and her father. As human being, they wished to have the glory and spotlight that Kenichi and his fiancee currently had.
They made wrong judgement. They initially thought Mamoru was Yamaguchi, he was better choice that Kenichi. They overlooked who Kenichi father was.
Not only them, Mamoru and his father face was sour.
"I think they prepare him to be their successor. Just the matter of time, they will announce it" the folk still went on.
"Agree. They just announced this morning that that boy will look after their project in Asia"
"No wonder he did not care about this company. His paternal family assets is worth ten times than this company"
"I think it's more than ten time. They are soaring now"
One by one, they left the room.
"You stay her2" Grandpa Yamaguchi said coldly to his daughter.
As soon as only two of them left, grandpa Yamaguchi threw a thick folder to his daughter face "You're the worst mother"
Mrs Matsunaga managed to dodge the file. It hit the wall and the paper scattered on the ground "Father, why do you blame me ?"
"You !! Kenichi asked you to come, I heard it with own ear"
"He did not tell me it's his enggement !"
"use your brain. He said it's a party for him and Cacha. What else it would be other than enggagement ?"
"I.. I didn't think about it. Anyway, I don't want to see his father and his family" Mrs Matzunaga sobbed.
"I clearly remembered he told me 'grandfather, since mother doesn't want to come, there's no point for me to ask you'. Aiko, I wouldn't say no to him. your mother and I would say yes. We would come. We met Andrew's parents few months ago, we were fine"
Grandpa Yamaguchi stared at his daughter "You were throwing tantrum, did you ? you're upsad that we were angry at you because you did not come that day, you blamed him. Am I right ?"
"I was angry at him. He supposed to tell me honestly about his plan. Also If he bagged be that day, I would change my mind"
"Aiko !!! you really don't understand your son !! When did he ever beg for something huh ? never !! he's a proud man like me ! Do you ever pay any attention to him at all ?"
"Father, I " Mrs Matsunagaran out of excuses She run out of excuses.
"I hope.. they.. they didn't look down at me" Grandpa Yamaguchi closed his eyes in sorrow. He opened his eyes and took his phone. He dialed a number
"Moshi moshi"
"This is Kenichi grandfather. how are you ?"
Jun was startled, it was out of normal "I'm good. How are you sir ?"
"I'm fine. Is Kenichi there ?"
"I'm sorry. He's not in this country at the moment"
"did he has enggarement party recently ?"
"Yes. His paternal grandparents organised it. He did not invite any of this friend"
"Alright. Tell him to call me when he's back"
"Sir, I don't know when he'll be back. He just called and told us he won't be here for at least another fortnight"
"That's ok. Just tell him to call me whenever he has time. It's not urgent"
"Yes sir. Sir, I have their picture from last week. I can send it to you but please, keep it for your self. I'll be on trouble if my boss knew"
"Yes please send it to me. Don't worry, I'll keep it for my self and only show it to my wife"
Grandpa Yamaguchi stared at his phone. He was waiting for the young man to fullfill his promised. Few second which seemed liked hours, the message was finally there. He tapped on the message and enlarged the pictures.
Grandpa smiled as he saw a picture "Good, they are really a perfect match" he caressed Kenichi picture. He just realised how handsome Kenichi was and how dazzling his smile was. In fact, he never saw his grandson beautiful smile before.
"what is it ?" Mrs Matsunaga peeped at her father phone. She saw the glimpse of her son picture "Can I see ?"
"No" Grandpa Yamaguchi closed the window and locked his phone. He secured it on his pocket "I promised only to show it to my wife"
He stood up and left the room on hurry. He could not wait to share the happy news with his wife. Happy and Sad, sad because they was not there to witness it.
