The beginning of an ending

Chapter 6

The actual encounter

Gojyo was having a nap when Takeru wakes him up.

"Bouchan. It's time." He stood beside the bed and pat Gojyo's shoulder. Gojyo turns to his side and murmur something. Takeru try waking him up again only to be ignored. Takeru gave up calling him up and went to prepare his tuxedo.

Gojyo woke up groggily as he yawn. "What time is it Takeru?" Takeru place the tuxedo and took the towel beside him to pass to Gojyo.

"It is already 5 o'clock."

Gojyo stood up and took the towel placing it on his shoulder and enter the bathroom.

"What time is the stupid dinner?" He asked as he turn on the shower.

"8pm. You are to be there at 7 to entertain the guest."

From outside, it could be heard that Gojyo was cursing inside. Takeru excuse himself as he went and prepare for the dinner. Gojyo lazily took his time in bathing as he continues to decide whether to go or not.

'I just want to be alone today. I have missed that girl twice... What else can i do now? I don't even feel like seeing those girls i know.' He close his eyes and stay under the shower as though to clear his mind.

'But if she is also attending the dinner and i don't attend it, wouldn't i miss my chance again?' He open his eyes and close the shower tap then punch the wall. "Shit... Why do i have to worry about such stuff? I am Gojyo. I should be enjoying women's company not worry about some girl."

He got out of the bathroom and get readied. Since it's a dinner, he decided to tie his hair up and wore his tie. Takeru came in after some time and then they left with Gojyo's mother.

She looks so beautiful with a slender black dress and a simple pearl necklace. "Kassan you sure you want to wear like that?" Gojyo asked as his mother smile and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. She was simply stunning for a 38 year old woman.

"The old man would be worrying all night if he sees you like this. You are very beautiful today." He smile and offer his arm for his mother to hold. She chuckles softly and smile.

"Silly boy. I am already old. Don't use your sweet mouth on your mother." He lead his mother into the car then close the door. His mother unwinds the window looking at him worriedly. "Gojyo??"

He smiled and wave. "Don't worry. I am using my own car." He took out his keys and swing it around. His mother sigh and smile at him. "Make sure to be there on time."

He nods and wave at her as the car left. Now that he is alone, he can finally have some relaxing time before having the need to please people.

He drove his alfa romeo red sports car to his favourite place. A mountain not far from his house that has an area just for viewing the city. As he stood close to the railing bar, he close his eyes and inhale deeply. The wind blew softly and he cleared his mind. 'Soon. We will meet again. By then, everything will become clear for us.' He said to himself as he open his eyes again and look at the view.

After half an hour, his bodyguard called him and told him it is time to go to the dinner. Reluctantly, he drove his car to the hotel and reached within 30 minutes as he speed all the way to the hotel while smoking his cigarette.

It was already 9pm when Tenkou and Yoko reached the hotel with Mai. Mai was nagging them all the way to the hotel since she picked them up at the beach.

"Next time you are not going anywhere else when jii sama ask us to go for dinner." She hits Yoko's hand as Yoko tries to let her hair down. "Don't ruin your hair. It took 2 hours just to make your hair like that." Mai scolded her as Yoko sulked.
