all those people around, I couldn't possibly ask you. But I kept thinking after we parted. What is this about? About last night. I still can't believe it's true. It feels like it was all a dream. Did your parents approve? - Yes. - And your brother? Don't worry. Really? They approved? I feel so relieved! What does Kenkichi think? Who? Kenkichi? He's overjoyed. He didn't sleep last night. We ate again in the middle of the night! Really? With my worries over, I'll live a nice long life, thanks to you. Well, I'll be going now. I'm so happy! This is the way out. Oh, is it? I'm so happy! Can you pull it from that end? I wonder if she did right deciding on her own. I wonder too. She didn't have to marry someone who already has a child. That's right. Maybe she doesn't mind, but it's a pity there wasn't anything we could do. I thought... ever since she graduated from high school, every time I heard people complement her, I wondered what kind of family she would marry into. You know Mrs. Shinoda in Den'en-chofu? Whenever I visited her beautiful house, I dreamed Noriko would be a wife in a house like that one day. I'm sure. Now I think Mr. Satake's man might have been a better choice. I agree. I don't understand young people's thinking these days. Are you going out? Just to buy some seed for the birds. I'll see him out. You want me to get anything else? No. Good-bye. So have you already decided? This was all so sudden. When's your wedding? When he returns in a few months. You've taken a big step. I thought you were the type who could never leave Tokyo. Why? I imagined you'd live Western-style, with a flower garden, listening to Chopin. In your tiled kitchen, you'd have a refrigerator filled with Coca-Cola. I thought you'd be a housewife in a house like that. When I'd visit, you'd meet me on a covered porch, wearing a white sweater, with a terrier in tow, and you'd greet me over a picket fence, ''Hello, how are you?'' Not at all. I couldn't imagine otherwise. Akita is farm country. Will you wear farmer's clothes? Sure, I will. ''Well, howdy. How's it goin', missus? Right nice day, ain't it? Nice weather we been havin'.'' Can you speak like that? Well, shucks, I reckon. It ain't so hard. Well, I'm plumb surprised. Ya come up here from the big city, and already ya talk our dialect. Ya don't look it, but ya talk like the locals. I figure to live in Akita when me and my man get hitched. I reckon I better learn me the dialect! You speak it well! There was a girl from Akita in our school, remember? That's right! Do you remember... before your brother left for the front, we went hiking with him and his friend. Is he the man? I don't remember whether he was with us. Did you already love him then? No, I had no particular feeling for him. When did it start? I don't know. It happened gradually. Really? I had no idea. Of course not. I never imagined myself marrying him. So what happened? - Nothing really. - Nothing? Well, that's not entirely true. How can I explain it? It's like when you look for something all over the place, and then you find it was right in front of you all along. Mother's always looking for her glasses when they're right on her nose. - That's how it was. - How so? He was so close at hand, I didn't realize he was the one. So you did love him. No, it wasn't like I was in love with him. I'd known him well since childhood, and I knew I could trust him. That means you love him. No, I just feel I can trust him with all my heart and be happy. Don't you understand? If that's not being in love, what is? - No, it's not. - Yes, it is. You're in love. You've fallen in love with him. Have I? Yes, you have. Don't make me hit you! - You better not. I know how you hit. - Here I come. - Grab her, Mother! - What's going on here? Aya, where is that thing? The thing I brought up the other ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Танец-вспышка на английском - текст Азирис Нуна на английском - текст Марс на английском - текст Пираты XX века на английском - текст Друзья - Сезон 8 на английском |
