Continuing from last time. I (Tomoko, 30 years old) live with my husband (Hiroaki, 30 years old) and son (Fuma, 8 months old). My brother-in-law (Takashi, 30 years old), sister-in-law (Mio, 30 years old), and their 2-year-old son live about a 30-minute drive away from our house. Whenever I see my sister-in-law at my in-laws’ house without my brother-in-law around, she starts talking to me excessively, so I started avoiding her. By the way, my in-laws’ house is about an hour’s drive from our house.
Recently, we agreed to go to my in-laws’ house with my brother-in-law’s family to help my grieving mother-in-law after the loss of my father-in-law. However, unbelievably, my husband’s sister-in-law, under the influence of alcohol, started a relationship with my husband that night.
Hiroaki said he never had any feelings of kindness towards his sister-in-law, but… what happened that night is still unbelievable to this day.
Since that day, my sister-in-law has been sending messages to Hiroaki, continuously trying to entice him. Even if we don’t check, the sound of the message notifications keeps ringing, and Hiroaki’s phone also has messages from his sister-in-law, so we inevitably know about this fact. I couldn’t wait.
Even if Hiroaki declines, his sister-in-law persists. I was hesitant to talk to my brother-in-law, who was troubled by his work relationships, so I went to consult with my mother-in-law.
I tried discussing it with my mother-in-law, and I felt that she was very worried about my brother-in-law.
Since my mother-in-law wanted to handle the sister-in-law’s apology herself, I left it to her for now. However, there was no response from the other party… my mother-in-law must have been considering the impact on my brother-in-law. He asked me to give him a little more time.
After a while, I received an apology from my sister-in-law, but it was just a list of excuses. And I just sent a reply message. This is completely unacceptable.
It sounds like an excuse to blame it on evil spirits after persistently communicating so aggressively. Since the birth of our child, my sister-in-law often worries, saying, “It must be tough for you alone, right? Are you okay?” She also said, “Honestly, Hiroaki hasn’t been involved in raising the child, right? I’ll let Hiroaki know.” I think he just wanted to be considerate.
It’s really disgusting to think that Hiroaki actually had feelings for me. I will not forgive him even if I receive an apology.
To be continued in [Episode 3].
