31 of march at 4.30 o'clock, Kenichi smiled from ear to ear as he pressed the 'send' button on his email. It was his last email to the head office in Japan and very important one. It was contained of the report of the project and his last farewell note. The report concluded his responsibility and his employement. He stood up and clapped his hand to get every one in the room attention.
"Guys, today is my final day to be part of this team. Our head office in Japan will send new representative soon"
"What ? How can be so soon ?" Every one had a big shock.
"Hey Kenichi, will you be back to japan soon ?" Pauline asked.
"No"
"we still can hold farewell party for you"
"No need. Let me know when you come to Japan, I'll try my best to arrange time to take you for dinner"
"promise is promise" Chris clapped.
"Sure"
At 5 o'clock, Kenichi left the office. one by one, they shook hand with him and wished him well. He was very overwhelm. He worked with his team in Tokyo for years but when he left, they ignored him completely. However, these people who only worked with him for a year gave him a warm farewell.
"Oniichan, is it really your last day with us ?" Cacha asked on the way home.
"yes. I have stated in my resugnation letter that I will fulfill my responsibility for this project before My employement ceased. Don't worry, I'll still be here with you. Have you decided when you will be back home ?"
"My last day is end of April. Dad wants me to come back to celebrate our birthday together"
"How about mid of may ? Lets travel together for 2 weeks"
"I'm ok. But, don't you suppose to go back home soon for your business ?"
"it's fine. Anyway, I need to make sure you've got all paperwork to apply for working visa"
"Oniichan, can we go back home on the same day ?"
"Of course"
The next day, Kenichi walked Cacha to work. He was worry some bees would try to steel his flower. So, he sent message to people there that Cacha was belong to him, He was her mystery boyfriend.
When he was back home, He did the most important task, to find out for all requirements for applying the working visa. It was midday when the bell rang. He saw through the monitor to find out who was out there.
He frowned and reluctantly opened the secutiry door for the uninvited guest, his father.
"What bring you here ?" He asked coldly when his father entered his place.
"I went to your office, they said you are no longer there"
Kenichi did not believe that his father went to his old office just to find him. He suspected something "Did you put her on trouble ?"
"Your girlfriend ? I didn't manage to see her. I come to see you"
"what for ?"
Mr Anderson took a paper and a bank card fron the inner pocket of his suit "These are yours"
"What are these ?"
" As your suggestion, I've sold my share few days ago. this money is belong to you"
"I don't need it and I don't want it. I can manage my own life"
"Keep it"
"No. Take it back"
Mr Anderson could see that his son really had no intention to do what he was told. He signed helplessky "call me if you need anything. Lets have lunch with me"
"I have had mine"
"accompany me"
Kenichi signed "ok"
Mr anderson and Kenichi went to a restaurant together. While His father had his lunch, he only ordered soft drink.
"Andrew" A middle age man come.
"Rick !" both men shook their hand.
"Finlay, This is Rick. Rick this is my son, Finlay" Mr Anderson did not forget to introduce his friend.
"No way ! how come your some is so handsome" Rick was stunned
"Hahhaah" Mr Anderson only laughed
"Your father told me about you, at taht time, I did not believe him. How old are you ? are you married yet ?" Rick asked excitedly "My daughter is 28. she is still single"
Kenichi smirked. When his father asked him to have meal together, he smelt something amiss. Set him up for blind date, dream on, he would not let it. "It's time for me to pick up my fiancee. bye" Keinichi stood up and left.
Mr Anderson shook his head while his friends was dumpstruck.
"My apology, my son personality is little differenr" Mr Anderson smiled awkwardky.
"No. it's my fault. I was to excited. Why did not you tell me that he's enggage"
"Forgot" It was the best excuse. initially, he wished to pair up Kenichi and his friend's daughter.
Later at night, Mr Anderson went back to Keinichi place. When he came, it was Cacha who opened the door for him.
"Where is Kenichi ?"
"Oniichan is going out to buy some fruit. He will be back soon. Please sit down"
Mr Anderson saw Japanese book when he sat down "are you learning japanese ?"
"yes"
"Are you coming with him to Japan ?"
"Yes"
"Sit here. have a chat with me"
Mr Anderson and Cacha had a nice chat. It was rather awkward at the beginning but after while they chatted comfortably. Mr Anderson asked about her family and her view about Kenichi. He was satisfied with her as she did not hide anything from him.
"When are you going to come to UK ? Aunty Sue is looking forward to see you again"
"I am not sure. My contract will be ended at the end of this month. I have two weeks before back home but Oniichan said he has arranged tickets to Italia to meet his friend there".
"When are you going to Japan ?"
"If the visa is ready, I'll be there at the end of june. Uncle, please visit us in Japan"
Mr Anderson laughed "I will but after you can control your oniichan temperament. Honestly speaking, sometime I'm scare of him. Don't you feel the same ?"
She giggled "before yes. But not now"
"Hahaha... save my phone number, if he trouble you, give me a call.".
She nodded and saved the phone number.
"Babe !" Kenichi was back
