PRISONER OF LOVE LOVE THE WIDOWER

THE SEASON 4 Part 31. Blooming Hanami 1's

"Shori, Mama and Papa will visit your aunt in Osaka tomorrow morning on a shinkasen (bullet train) . Maybe Monday afternoon just got back."

"Ohh well. Auntie's having a show?"

"Ahh no, Mama misses him, Your aunt called this afternoon, Sakura had bloomed some earlier in Koriyama said your Aunt, before too many tourists Mama wanted to go there first. Mama's youth always saw Sakura there."

"Why early? Usually Tokyo first."

"Okay, but it's better. You wanna come?"

"No Mama. Maybe next time. Monday I have a meeting, I can't cancel, if Mama says early I can adjust my schedule."

I want to go to Osaka, I haven't been to Osaka in a long time. Sakura's in Koriyama, I've only been there twice. If Aunt had a precise estimate and said it a week ago, I could have taken a little day off that I had never taken this year. Be me living alone in Tokyo while the excited Mama and Papa are already chasing the first shinkasen schedule at six in the morning.

'What do you want to buy food for?' At 9am Ryohei sent me a message.

'No, they're already in Osaka to see sakura.'

Shinkasen Tokyo to Osaka takes only 2.5 hours to travel the 500km normally traveled by car 6.5 hours.

'Ohhh saw Sakura in Osaka. Very early. Why is it there first.'

'Only in Koriyama. Usually it is Tokyo first, somehow it can go first in Koriyama, in other places not yet or maybe only a small part.'

Usually the beginning and the end in each area have a 2-week time window between mid-March to May starting from the southernmost region which is more to the cooler north.

"Come in." She was just wearing a plain long tshirt with jeans, the appearance was different from the everyday I saw her with her neat shirt. The money remains the same of course.

He arrived at the door with a package of food, I'm glad he likes to bring food.

"You brought ramen." I smiled seeing the contents.

"Why don't you come to Osaka?" He took his ramen to the dinner table and sat there. I thought he was going to take me out to eat, I was hungry too.

"I'd love to go to Osaka. But it was sudden, Monday I had a meeting that could not be canceled." Osaka is the most beautiful place to celebrate Hanami. But of course for those of us who work in the office there is also a special party event to celebrate hanami, I have to attend, if you say everything must be present at the hanami party.

"Next week we can go to Osaka a few days on the weekend maybe until Monday. You want?"

"You're serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

"With Sayuri? Isn't she on hanami?" I'm not too sure to go alone with him actually. He smiled to see me.

"Going alone is okay, too." He's bidding.

"With Sayuri alone." I also bid. Why am I even afraid and uncomfortable if I go alone with him? I don't know maybe because we are still an introductory zone.

"You're a coward for the size of a gaijin." He satirized me while eating and laughing. I poked my chopsticks and thought about what he said.

"I'm not Yuna Aize throwing herself at you." Now that she was silent hearing me offend Yuna Aize, did I offend her, did I miss it. Maybe I should apologize." I'm sorry. I didn't mean to remind you that." Now we are both silent.
