How long have you not been here ?
The room has not changed, it is still the same...
Aretha surrounded the room and touched one by one the objects with her index finger.
Arriving in the kitchen, Aretha was stunned. Some memories of his past with Ryuzaki gushed in his eyes as he stared at each side of the kitchen.
A lot of things are happening here...
Waiting for him to wake up with his breakfast until he gets home from work and cooks his favorite food.
Did he forget all that too ?
Aretha bit her lower lip.
This morning, I just found out that Ryu has amnesia...
I think he went back to Japan, it turns out he had an accident and even amnesia...
Then he came home to me, by my side, always with me, but with no memory of me...
Am I too stupid ?
Am I being so selfish ?
Until I never realized, never knew he needed me again when...
I keep being happy alone.
I never knew he was fighting to get his memory back.
Mother said, she doesn't want me to know, she doesn't want me to worry.
Looky...
He just keeps caring about me so much.
She took her own medication, but I always accompanied Sara on medication.
I didn't even help her once, but I always blamed her for my loss.
How is she feeling now ?
Being in a position to continue to be blamed, memory loss, and still begging to survive...
I hurt him at the highest point.
In the end, I hurt him the most.
I'm really unforgivable.
Aretha moved her legs back towards the room. He opened the door and went inside.
Ryu...
Aretha said in her heart with a sad face.
Right in front of him, on the wall above the bed, emblazoned a wedding photo of them with a size of 1.5 x 2 meters.
If you see the results are great...
Like a truly happy bride on her wedding day.
Though fitting to be photographed, mother full of threats just let me want to smile as sweet as possible.
Unknowingly, Aretha revealed a small smile from the corner of her lips.
All right, time to unload the suitcase...
Memories are saved from now on.
In the future, I can only hope Ryu apologizes to me.
Kalopun in the end he mutusin to finish, I also have to be able to accept it.
As the saying goes, regret always comes too late.
And Aretha rushed out of the room, towards the living room, where there were two suitcases of hers that she had brought from home.
Aretha decided to stay at Ryuzaki's apartment for the duration of her studies, arguing that Ryuzaki's apartment was closer to the campus.
Meanwhile, in the other hemisphere, precisely in Tokyo, Japan. Ryuzaki stared at the wedding photo on his desk.
Today, what are you doing, Re ?
Still busy with your college, or with Sara ?
Nasha said, you changed...
More feminine, more calm, your appearance is also different.
I want to go back to your side and see for yourself your change.
But... You must have rejected me, right ?
You know, Re...
I'm kangen...
" Futatabi kus ? Tsuma ni tsuite motto ? "
(Dreaming again ? About the ex-wife ? )
Suddenly Ayako comes while putting a bento bag in front of Ryuzaki.
Ryuzaki's daydreams were spoiled, staring at Ayako who was looking at him with a disappointed look.
" Kanojo wa mada watashi no goho-tekina tsumadesu. Tsumade wa naku motto, tsuma ni naru koto wa kesshite arimasen. Watashi ni motto kitai suru no o yame nasai. "
(He's still my legal wife. She is not an ex-wife and will never be an ex-wife. Stop wishing more on me. )
Ryuzaki turned his gaze in the other direction.
" Anata no okiniiri... Wasabi, nori o noseta sashimi. "
(Your favorite... Wasabi, sashimi with a sprinkling of seaweed. )
Ayako diverts the conversation while bringing one bento box closer to Ryuzaki.
" Watashi ga nani o itte iru no ka wakarimasen ka? Watashi wa anata o shimai ijo no monoda to wa omotte imasendeshita. Itsumo ki ni natte, Mainichi ranchi o motte kite kuremasu. "
(Do you know what I mean ? I never thought of you as more than a sister. Always take care of yourself, every day bring me lunch. )
Ryuzaki said calmly.
He accepts what Ayako has offered, but then puts it back on his desk.
Ayako pulls a bench across from Ryuzaki's desk. He sat there with his pouting face. Ryuzaki stared fixedly.
" Shikashi, watashi wa anata o watashi no kyodaida to wa omotte imasendeshita. Watashi wa kodomo no koro kara anata to tomodachideshita. Watashi wa gakko de anata ni chikadzukimashita. Watashi wa on'nanoko ni naruto sugu ni anata ni koi o shimashita, soshite kyo made watashi wa dansei to shite anata o aishiteimasu. Watashi wa anata no tsuma to shite watashinojinsei o sugoshitaidesu. "
(But I never thought of you as my sister. I've been friends with you from childhood. I got closer to you at school. I fell in love with you as soon as I became a girl, and to this day I love you as a woman against a grown man. I want to spend my life as your wife. )
Ayako did not give up. At length he declared what was in his heart. Unexpectedly, Ryuzaki takes Ryuzaki's wedding photos and slams him down.
PPRAANNGGG !!!
" Ne... "
( Hey you... )
Ryuzaki's tone of voice had increased but then became slim.
Soon Ryuzaki wakes up from his seat and approaches a broken frame and glass from his wedding photo. He took a photograph measuring 10 R. Clean it carefully.
Seeing that, Ayako did not remain silent. He quickly captured the photo in Ryuzaki's hands. Directly tore it right in front of Ryuzaki.
Ryuzaki's eyes looked fiery, his face red with anger, and a single loud slap landed on Ayako's cheek.
PPLLAAKKKK !!!
Ayako who did not expect to get a hard slap from a man who was so adored, looked very sad. Eyes glazed.
Ryuzaki felt regret for his actions as soon as he saw the palm mark on Ayako's cheek so reddened. Especially when he found Ayako's narrow eyes that almost shed tears.
" Gomen's... "
(Sorry... )
Lirih.
Ryuzaki drew closer to Ayako who was in front of him. Hugged it slowly. Immediately shed Ayako's tears. At one stroke, he soaks Ryuzaki's chest with tears.
Ryuzaki was even more sorry to hear Ayako's sobs. Gently, he stroked Ayako's hair which was black the length of the straight tire.
" Itsen'nasai... Watashi wa machigatte. Watashi wa anata ni shitsureina koto o subekide wa arimasen. Watashi no honto no kimochi ni me o toji tsudzukenaide hoshi dakedesu. Kono mama tsudzukeru to, sarani itami o kanjiru y ni ni narimasu. "
(I'm sorry... I'm mistaken. I shouldn't be rude to you. I just want you to not keep closing your eyes to my true feelings. If you think gini continues, you will suffer even more heartache. )
Ryuzaki said with a calm tone of voice.
" Watashi wa sono zen ni akiramemashita, nazenara watashi wa anata-tachi ga otagai o totemo aishite iru no o mitakaradesu. Shikashi, totsuzen anata wa koko ni modotte kite, anata no hahaoya wa anata ni iimasu, anata no tsuma wa anata to rikon shitai to omotte imasu. Watashi wa anata ga kanashimi tsudzukeru no o miru tame ni tada jitto tattoo iru tsumori wa arimasen. "
(I've given up before that time, because I saw for myself that you were so in love with each other. But all of a sudden you came back here, and your mom said, your wife wants you divorced. I don't want to be quiet when you continue to be sad. )
Ayako said on the sidelines sobbing her tears.
Ryuzaki no kaori wa itsumo watashi o ochitsuka. Kare no nude no naka ni iru koto wa watashi ni totte honto no yume no youdeshita. Watashi wa watashinojinsei no no kori no ma, watashi ga kono you ni kare no nude no naka ni iru koto ga dekitara enoni to omoimasu.
(Ryuzaki's scent always calms me down. Being in her arms was like a beautiful dream to me. I wish I could be in his arms like this for the rest of my life. )
Ayako's mind is full of prayer.
" Watashi ni chansuwokudasai. Moichido. Watashi wa anata ga nozomu mononara nani demo kamaimasen. Hitsuyonijite, watashi wa anata no tsuma no you ni naru koto o manabimasu. Watashi wa kanpekina daigaehin ni narimasu. Watashi wa jibun yori mo anata o aishiteimasu. Kono sekaide wa, anata wa watashi ga hoshi subetedesu... "
(Give me a chance. Once more. I can be anything you want. If necessary, I can learn to be like your wife. I'll be his perfect replacement. I love you more than I love myself. In this world, you are all I want... )
Ayako continued sulking and pleading.
" Orochana shojo... Kanojo wa darenimo totte kawara reru koto wa arimasen. Kare wa karedesu, anata wa anatadesu. Kimitachi wa chigau. Soshite, anata ga yaritai koto wa nani demo, afternoon o okikaeru koto wa dekimasen. Saishutekini anata kara hanareru you ni watashi o kyosei shinaide kudasai... "
(Swummy girl... He can never be replaced by anyone. He is he, you are you. You're different. Whatever you want to do, you can never replace it. Don't force me to finally get away from you... )
Sahut Ryuzaki slowly let go of his embrace on Ayako.
Ayako continues to hug him tightly, refusing to let go of Ryuzaki's embrace. However, Ryuzaki pushed her firmly but politely.
" Ienikaeru's... Watashi wa hitori de iru hitsuyo ga arimasu. "
(Way home... I want to be alone. )
Ryuzaki.
" Anata ga motte kita chushoku o oemasu. Shimasu. "
(I'll eat all the lunch you brought. I-i promise. )
She flashed a smile and wiped the tear marks on Ayako's cheek with her fingers.
" Watashi ni chansu o ataeru ka wa anata shidaidesu, watashi wa ki ni shimasen. Shikashi, anata-tachi ga mada saikai suru no o tameratte iru kagiri, watashi wa anata o te ni ireru koto o akiramemasen. "
(While you want to give me a chance or not, I don't care. But as long as you are still hesitant to reunite, I will not give up on you. )
Ayako said firmly.
Ryuzaki wanted to answer her but the girl had already twisted her body and rushed out of the room, leaving Ryuzaki who finally chose to be silent.
Your love for me is the same as my love for her...
No matter how much he rejected me, I would never give up either.
I hope that you will soon find someone better than me, appreciating all your sacrifices and love...
