"What happened to Rodney ... I didn't know until I saw the obituary. It's a shame, eh." Michal lamented.
"I'm sorry, but because of the special circumstances of our family, the somewhat unstable condition of the military at the time, we did not inform anyone and we just buried Rodney. Only a few people who were around all the time did the simplest of ceremonies." Cecelia explained why the Cole family was not notified at the time.
"I understand." Michal nodded gently.
"By the way, here's the invitation." Michal handed the invitation to Cecelia.
Cecelia opened it and looked at it with admiration in her eyes, "Your son is a talented and capable man, and now he is happily married. Where is he now? It looks like he has returned to the Capital?"
"Yes, he finally came back from Khebury. Now he's in the House of Inspectation Special Investigation Unit," Michal said with a big smile, "It's a long story, but he had a falling out with us and had to run away to Khebury on his own to become a detective. He didn't want the blind date we had arranged for him and left without saying a word."
"I didn't expect it, but he had a girlfriend in Khebury. When I went to Khebury to see him, I caught him. It was the girl we introduced to him. The daughter of Governor Sanchez that was, now Senator Sanchez. At the time, she didn't want to go on a blind date and went to Khebury too. I didn't expect the two of them to meet in Khebury. Wasn’t it just fate?"
Michal felt incredible whenever she thought about it, that the world was too small and fate was too wonderful.
"So there's this story between them. It's so interesting. So why did it take them four years to get married?" Cecelia wondered.
"Young people wanted to live a free life and didn’t want to get married too early. Probably afraid that we would urge them to have children. Forget it, and we should let them go. When they want to get married, they will just get married. As long as it's a daughter-in-law I'm happy with, I'm fine." Michal smiled, picked up her tea and took a sip.
"A good relationship, and it is certainly worth the long wait. It's good that they're both more mature after a few years."
