She was getting a feeling that Tanjiro was definitely hiding something from her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm back!" Tanjiro called out. But soon he realized that the house was dark. And the master bedroom door was also closed.
Tanjiro carefully opened it and switched on the lights. He found Daki snoring on the bed.
"AAAAAHHHH!" Daki shrieked and almost jumped. . "TURN IT OFF!" Tanjiro gulped and switched it off.
"Gosh, you are so dramatic! I get waken by you like that every single day now!" Tanjiro complained after he came to his senses again.
"Well, since you won't wait for when we sleep, why would I wait for you?" Daki returned.
Okay, honestly, I'd love that. Tanjiro thought.
"Well, okay. Since we don't wait for each other now, I am going to sleep in another room." Tanjiro snorted.
"Sounds good to me!" Daki screamed again.
"UGH! Keep your volume down! There are innocent neighbors that are sleeping, you know?!" Tanjiro shushed her.
"SHUT UP! UGH! I don't even care about them! Just go away!" Daki wailed. Tanjiro acted so enthusiastic that Daki wanted to throw a pillow at his face. Tanjiro went upstairs after grabbing his pillow and stuff.
Daki didn't sleep well that night.
After the date with Kanao, Tanjiro was always happy. Well, most of the time. When Daki isn't asking him for jewelry and expensive bags. Tanjiro woke up extra early today because he didn't want to run into Daki.
Tanjiro went downstairs and found the master bedroom's door still closed. He let out a sigh of relief and went to the bathroom.
Later, he drove to Kanao's company. She was waiting, of course. But more enthusiastic to continue and work on the project.
"Kanao-chan!" Tanjiro said and clapped his hands on his mouth. "Ah, gomenasai! I am not supposed to call you that right now." He apologized.
"Oh, daijabou. You can call me that name here now, but only in my office when we are alone." She told Tanjiro.
He smiled. "Oh yeah, also, do you wanna go on a date together again?" Kanao thought for a moment and nodded.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"Uh, maybe the milk tea shop after work?" Tanjiro suggested. Kanao's eyes lit and she nodded happily.
"Okay, I think we should start working now. We've been stalling for a pretty long time. Plus, we don't have much time left." Tanjiro reminded her.
"Yeah I guess, but we just need one more change to our project and we're all done!" Kanao raised an eyebrow.
"Wait really!? YAY!"
Daki came home from a day of shopping in the mall. She stretched. Suddenly, she found a note taped on the back of the front door again. 'Having dinner with business partner again. Won't be back until 9 pm. I will come home and get ready though.' Tanjiro figured that he would lie a little bit to her.
Daki thought that she could ask Tanjiro to take her and meet his business partner. So she started picking out jewelry and what she would wear.
Daki turned back stared at the note. Something wasn't right. Wait- dinner with partner again?! Daki suddenly remembered that a few days ago Tanjiro said that he was going back to "her company" but quickly changed it to "his".
Daki had a bad feeling about this, so she tried to distract herself by looking for more expensive stuff. But Daki couldn't stop thinking about her new theory.
So she got a piece of paper and listed what she knew with a pen:
1. Tanjiro-kun said "her company" but then quickly changed it to "his"
2. He is having dinner with this mysterious partner again
3. Tanjiro-kun doesn't wait for me when sleeping anymore!
4. He ignores me
5. Tanjiro-kun doesn't buy me what I want anymore!
6. we have lots of arguments now
7. that's it
Daki sighed after looking at what she wrote again. She didn't have proof at all. When she started scribbling random stuff, Tanjiro came in and closed the door.
"Tanjiro, you are going to dinner with your partner again? I am coming."
Tanjiro panicked. "What?! NO! You can't do that! It's... private!" He made up an excuse. And clearly Daki didn't believe it, so she insisted on coming.
"You're just going to mess everything up!" Tanjiro yelled. Daki gasped in astonishment. How could her husband say something like that to his wife!?
"NANI? So that's why you don't let me come!? How ridiculous!"
"I surprised you even know words like that," The male riposted, "And anyway, why should you come? You'll mess everything up! And you're not even interested in business because you never work!"
"B-But, I want a chance to show off my new Bellevue Media Loro Piana bag!" Daki protested.
"T-The partner's male! He wouldn't want to see!" Tanjiro sputtered.
"I KNOW YOU JUST DON'T WANT ME TO COME! FINE! HUMPHHH!!!" She screamed.
Tanjiro shook his head miserably. "YES! FINE! I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO COME! Now, please leave. I've got stuff to prepare."
"YOU WILL REGRET THIS, YOU F****** B****!!" Daki cursed then slammed the door shut behind her.
After Tanjiro prepared everything, he avoided Daki and taped a new note on the door before shutting it quietly behind him.
'Just saying, but I am never gonna be taking you to any of my dinners with my business partner.'
He let out an evil chuckle. That'll make her mad, Tanjiro thought gleefully in his car. He opened the window, letting the soft wind whip in.
After a bit of driving, he arrived at the milk tea shop, though Kanao didn't arrive yet. Tanjiro went inside and picked a table with nice view and simple decorations.
It's what Kanao loves, Tanjiro thought. Simple. Daki would hate this for life just like how she would hate the beige bag I bought for Kanao if I gave it to her.
He got his book out and started reading.
After a few minutes, someone pushed the door and went inside. It was Kanao.
"Kanao-chan!" Tanjiro noticed her and closed his book.
"Tanjiro-kun!" Kanao came up to him. "I've never been to this place before... seems nice."
"Yeah! I picked the best seat I could find... Ano... if you don't like the view, we could sit somewhere else."
"Ah, arigatogozaimasu. It's fine! I love the view!" She plopped down on the soft cushion placed neatly on the chair and started looking at the menu. She picked Mango Boba while Tanjiro picked Matcha.
It was not awkward like Tanjiro thought it would be. Since Kanao opened up to him, he found out that they are similar in many ways. The date went just like Tanjiro wanted it to be.
But Daki wasn't doing so well after reading the note Tanjiro wrote.
She was getting a feeling that Tanjiro was definitely hiding something from her.
