Continuing from the previous episode. I am Shizuka (35 years old). My husband Tomohiko (40 years old), and our 4th grade daughter Uta, make up our family of three after 10 years of marriage. One day, I received a letter from someone claiming to be “Tomohiko’s former affair partner”, and I ended up witnessing Tomohiko and his colleague Lena’s affair. It turns out that the sender of the letter was my part-time colleague Sayuri. I want to divorce them, gather evidence, confront Tomohiko, and separate him from Lena. All that’s left is to question Sayuri.
Tomohiko, who was easily dumped by Lena, collapsed on the spot. His pitiful appearance was so ridiculous that any lingering affection I had for him vanished. I ignored the despairing Tomohiko and confronted Sayuri with questions. Unexpectedly, she responded, “If Tomohiko divorces, he won’t turn back to me… Tomohiko likes thrilling affairs. That’s why he intentionally targeted me, a colleague of his wife.”
“Hey, Shizuka. Can’t you reconsider the divorce? I care about Uta.” “Enough!” I sharply replied, silencing Tomohiko and Sayuri. “I was a fool to trust people like this.” I spat out those words and left. Anger, sadness, and regret… Various emotions swirled in my heart. But I have no regrets about my actions. I have decided in my heart to overcome this rock bottom and start a new life with happiness with Uta.
Six months have passed since then…
Starting from the letter from Tomohiko’s former affair partner, the truths that were gradually revealed. It was truly a painful experience for me, but now I truly believe that divorcing was the right decision. It ended in chaos, but I feel relieved that any lingering affection for Tomohiko has vanished.
I am confident that I can live happily with Uta from now on.
I want to protect her smile and feel her growth every day.
