Continuation from the previous episode. My name is Yumi, I am 30 years old. I live with my 3-year-old daughter and husband, Satoshi, who is around 30 years old. About three months ago, my cousin’s wife (Kenji, 30 years old) (Chie, 30 years old) passed away, leaving behind a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old child. Chie and I are colleagues at work and close friends. When Chie passed away, I was saddened, but I was surprised to hear that Kenji had remarried Chie’s friend (Kaori). The suspicion that Kenji and Kaori were having an affair lingers, and the distrust continues to grow. However, Kenji continues to make self-centered remarks on LINE to have his family approve of the marriage.
Since there was no response from Kenji when asked about his fiancée’s pregnancy, I thought the conversation would end like that. I haven’t heard from my mother, who seems angry with my attitude.
However, a few days later, I received a sudden phone call from Aunt Mitsuko (Kenji’s mother).
To be honest, I didn’t know what to do because it seemed troublesome, but I didn’t want to ignore it and was curious about the content, so I picked up the phone.
It seemed to me that my mother was imposing her opinion on Aunt Mitsuko. Also, it became clear that Aunt Mitsuko does not approve of Kenji’s remarriage. In the end, it was revealed that Kenji and others hurried to register and marry because they have a son.
When I found out about the pregnancy, I thought, “Oh, that’s exactly it.” What does it mean for the children left behind? He only had a relationship with his wife’s friend while his wife was fighting the disease.
I didn’t care anymore about Kenji’s remarriage, but thinking about Chie, who trusted Kenji, made my anger rise again. I can’t say anything disappointing to Kenji, but I think Kaori is not hesitating about the pregnancy and remarriage either.
Chie’s parents want the return of her remains and do not want Chie’s remains to be entrusted to Kenji and others. The whole series of events made me angry.
To be continued in [Episode 7].
