My Parents Gave Me a House So I Decided to Start a Marriage and My Childhood Friend Ran for It, so We Got Married and I Won in Life!
“Thank you for the food.”
I put down my chopsticks with my hands clasped together.
Even though it was usually a happy morning, Takuya was not with me today.
The first breakfast alone in a long time, an indescribable loneliness occupies the inside of my heart.
“Haa….I have to do today’s work.”
After cleaning my plate, I move to my workroom.
I run my pen over to the LCD tab and start drafting an illustration
But something is not going right.
I’m supposed to be concentrating on my writing, but I feel like I’m missing something.
“Uuu…… let’s take a break,…….”
I see that I haven’t made much progress, but time is running out.
In this kind of situation, forcing yourself will not give you a good result.
I relax and run my pen in an appropriate manner.
I like painting, so it is a nice change of pace to paint what I like in the way I like.
Then I drew what I wanted to draw, and the result was ……
“Uuu….I think I might be in a pretty serious condition. ……”
I unconsciously drew a portrait of Takuya and myself.
The two of us are smiling and laughing happily side by side.
Although the lines were rough and the picture lacked color, I felt like it warmed my heart.
“Okay, ……, let’s work a little harder ……!”
I went back to the tab and resumed working.
◇◆◇
After quietly finishing dinner alone and putting away the dishes, I lay face down on my bed and buried my face in the pillow.
I was lonely.
I am a grown-up adult, but I get like this just because my husband is going to be gone for a few days.
When did I become like this?
…… Or maybe I’ve been like this from the beginning.
I have got happiness that I didn’t have when I was a student, and this is what happens when that happiness leaves me.
“Ugh,……, Takuyaaa,…….”
I stood up dazedly and started going through Takuya’s wardrobe.
I knew I was doing something wrong, but I couldn’t stop it.
I took out a T-shirt and smelled it.
I smelled Takuya’s scent and felt a little less lonely.
“Ehehe …… I think I’ll wear it for a little bit …….”
I put my sleeves through Takuya’s T-shirt.
In the past, Takuya and I shouldn’t have been much different in height, but his T-shirt was baggy and I realized that he had grown taller.
At that time, the phone suddenly started ringing.
Was it someone from work? I checked and saw Takuya’s name written on the phone.
I answered the phone in a hurry.
“H-Hello ……?”
“Oh, Miyu? Good evening. Is it okay now?”
“Y-yeah ……it’s okay”
Even though we had only had a short conversation, something that should have been empty was now being filled.
An indescribable sense of relief and happiness enveloped my body.
“I’m glad. I’m not sure how much time I’ll have. I called because I wanted to talk to Miyu.”
“I wanted to talk to Takuya too, so I’m glad ……!”
“Haha, I’m glad to hear that. Do you mind if we make a video call since we’re here?”
“Sure.”
A few seconds later, I turned on the camera.
I sat on my bed with my phone propped up on a little desk next to my bed.
“Huh? Are you drinking?”
“Yeah, I’m just socializing a little bit. I’ve only had one drink, so I’m not very drunk.”
Indeed, his face was slightly reddish, and he was still conscious and articulate.
He was probably just having a few drinks to go out with someone.
I hate myself for being a little jealous that he might have actually been drinking with a woman.
“Come to think of it, Miyu …….”
“….? What’s wrong?”
“Is that my T-shirt?”
I was so surprised when Takuya told me and I checked my outfit.
I had indeed answered the phone earlier with Takuya’s T-shirt on.
I was so embarrassed that my face was burning up.
“T-that …… I got lonely and ended up wearing it. …… I’m sorry for going through your wardrobe without your permission.”
“If that’s all, then it’s fine. But I’m a little happy.”
“Whaa ……?! Why is that ……? You mean you’re happy that your wife is a pervert. ……?!”
“Ahaha, that’s not true. It’s just that Miyu felt lonely too.”
“W-Well, that’s normal,…… if Takuya isn’t around,…… I’ll miss him,…….”
I’m embarrassed to say it again and my face is getting hotter and hotter.
I’m sure my face is probably bright red right now.
Then, when I got there, I realized what Takuya had said.
“You too……?”
“that’s right. I’m lonely too. I just want to go home right away and hug Miyu.”
“Uuu…… but you have to do your job properly…….”
“That’s right. I will work hard so that I can live a rich life with Miyu, be able to go anywhere, and make your wishes come true.”
“Ahh ……”
Takuya truly cares about me.
His pure kindness makes me feel embarrassed.
But… it felt so good and I was so happy.
“Sorry, it’s time, so I’ll just check the documents and go to bed.”
“Okay. Thanks for calling me even though you’re busy.”
“I wanted to hear Miyu’s voice too, so I guess it’s both our fault.”
“Yes. Good night, Takuya. I love you.”
“Good night, I love you too.”
We greeted each other and ended the call.
My heart, which had been so lonely earlier, was filled with warmth…
