Hey, could you please stop working for a bit? Isn't Takafumi coming soon? Even though I'm trying to be mindful of my younger brother who came to visit after so long, my husband remains absorbed in his work, completely oblivious. Shortly after my brother-in-law Takafumi arrives, my husband's phone rings with a call from his company. In a hurry, my husband rushes out, leaving Takafumi to say, "Let me listen to your complaints," as he offers me a drink. For the first time in a while, I find myself smiling, comforted by his warmth. Then, my husband calls. Flustered, I end up lying. "Takafumi? He already left... and said to give you his regards..." A tender yet bittersweet moment of everyday life, woven from my husband's thoughtfulness and my conversations with my brother-in-law.
