New Family

I leaned to the guard rail of the terrace to look at the grand
rock wall from the peak of Mt.Ioudake to Mt.Akadake.It began to get dark, but the rock wall was shininig redly by horizontal light beam of the sun.
I heard French in my back and I looked back. Two men sat down in the bench looking up at the rock wall. They seemed very familiar. The older looked over 70 years old and younger near 50. They were just gentlemen. If they wear formal suits, we wll regard them as the young president and the old chairman.
The older man's head was bald and lower half of the round face was covered with white mustache. The mustache was cared well. The younger had blue eyes and chestnut hair.His face was small compared with his sturdy body. I cannnot speak French,so I dared to speak them in English. The older's English has provincial accent,but the youger's one was excellent. The older said he had worked as a technician of a clock company.He mentioned the name of the company proudly which was known by producting the highest-class clocks.
The younger said he managed a trade company in Paris.
"Are you father and son?"I asked.
"Oh, yes " The older ansered.
"But no blood reration" The youger added.
"Your dauther married with him"I asked again to the older.
He laughed merriry and said "No! Our relation is more free and more friendly" I could't understand his word.
"We are father and son in new family.Usually son cannot choose father and father cannnot choose son.We choose each other in many person." The younger explained.
They had seen in Alps trekking,and waiting for retirement of the older, they started to live in the suburb of Paris. They lived together in six years.
Beer and wine were carried to the table. We cheered loudly.
After a sip of wine ,the younger and the older exchenged cups.They stared each other with ultimate respect and familiarity and they drunk up ther cups.
