One month and a week later...

"You are late!" Kotoko emerged out horrifyingly when I switched on the lights of the living room. I put my case down and for goodness sake, she was holding a flashlight under her chin. "What's the fuss? I told you I was going to be late tonight." I was really tired. There were lots of patients in the hospital and I need to overwork because things in the hospital have gotten frantically crazy. "Right. You already told me but still... you are late!" she pointed the wall clock, I hissed. "And why are you still awake at this time?" I asked her and she shifted her eyes when I start to come closer to her. "Hahaha," she laughed and stepped back until she fell down the couch. I took Kotomi's favorite doll, "You should put it back to its place. You know Kotomi likes this doll very much." I said. "Sorry," she said.

I looked at her for a long moment and then it came to occur to me... that there must be something wrong with her... or maybe I was just tired and I am having this kind of thinking now. "W-what? Why are you looking at me like that?" she said and then I answered, "No. It's just that I found you've gotten so beautiful lately." I said though it may end up teasing her but right now, I was just thinking about the bed and how good it is to rest. I went past at her to the staircase while I'm thinking about the appointments I have for tomorrow. Tons of work. But I must do this so that I can file a two-week leave.

She held my arm and that made me turn to her, "Do you really think it is?" she asked. "What now?" I said sounded tired enough of her series of questions. "I mean is it really true?" she asked another one again. "About what?" I answered the question. "Kotoko, I'm definitely tired. Can we please talk tomorrow? And besides, unlike you... I don't have the energy to speak. All I'm thinking about is the bed." I explained thoroughly.

"Okay." she smiled and seemed she understood. Damn, I missed her for the whole day and I kind of want to have moments with her but right now... I just want to hug her and sniff her scent until it falls me off to sleep. "But Irie-kun..." she pinched my arm and acted so cutely that it nearly took my life away for the hundredth time. "What is it again?" I asked so calmly while looking at her plain face but still... so beautiful to stare at. She is still beautiful without make-up. I don't know why I'm saying this stuff to her... I mean it's Kotoko, the one I supposed not to get attracted to but right now she's already my wife and we already had long years together and it still doesn't make me regret marrying her. "My feet hurt lately... I can't move it so well. Can you..." I cut her off, "Just say that you want me to carry you to bed and stop making reasons. Look, you're perfectly fine." but I ended up carrying her in my arms. "Mattaku, you've gotten so heavy," I said but she just wrapped her arms around me and giggled. "Sorry. I can't help but eat a lot. Oka-san makes delicious dishes." And that made my night so wonderful.

I woke up at two am just to go to the bathroom but I found the left side of the bed so empty. It drained my sleepiness. I'm now panicking...

Dammit! Where is Kotoko?

I quickly buckled up from the bed and wore my slippers. I always remind myself that this is not a good scenario and I don't like it. I don't like to wake up in this room without her... it feels like I'm emptied. Life without her... no... I can't live with her. I promised myself. I walked downstairs and the light was on. I quickly hurried myself to peek until I saw her in the living room with a laptop.
