Chapter 32 Chapter Eleven

"Brother, although I don't know the gender, I always think it's my younger brother. My younger brother has no name. My father's name is Kashiwagi Soichi, and his occupation is a banker. He was accepted by the trading company he wanted to go to the most, but he gave up in order to atone for my sins. Decided to go to the second choice bank." I didn't ask him to do that at all.Zongyi made his own decision, and I just listened to his report. "do not talk." "Well. I won't say any more. But just now, I want you to pray for that kid. We never did that together."

"Can I pray too?" I didn't answer, and leaned on him silently. People in the club didn't know about my pregnancy, only the news that Zong Yi chose another place because of me giving up my first choice of admission.Just like this, I was scolded by several people to deny my personality. What if I want to break up?I have neither the strength nor the physical strength to withstand those irresponsible verbal violence.Just maintaining a normal life every day takes all my energy. Zong Yi must think that he has done his best to atone for his sin, and I accept it.For Christmas that year, he gave me a ring with a sparkling stone in it.

Of course I can't accept it.It doesn't matter what anyone says.No matter how much Zong Yi needs me, I will never have Zong Yi again in my life. On the day we met for the first time after the Chinese New Year, I returned the ring, begged him to end our relationship on this day, and left desperately.I don't answer the phone either.Even if I knew Zongyi was right outside the door of the apartment, I would never open the curtains. But now, I wear the ring from that time on my left ring finger. "I ask you, can we really see the dead again, and talk to them?" "...Sorry." I didn't quite understand what Zong Yi was apologizing for.

Leaving the church, we walked on the coastal road.I went to the market and visited the palace from the outside. In order to fulfill Zongyi's request to see the Pacific Ocean, we bought a bottle of bottled beer produced in Tonga at a grocery store called Farekloa in Tonga, and went to White Beach.Sitting down facing the blue sea, drinking beer without a sip, I gradually began to feel like a tourist, as if I was going to fly back to Japan tomorrow. What the hell am I doing in this country? Someone wanted me to get married right out of college.Am I procrastinating?To distance yourself from Zong Yi?Is it because I think Soichi will agree to volunteer?

If this is the case, it is better to go back tomorrow. It should not be like this, there should be a greater motivation to drive me.But I can't deny that I'm comfortable in this country, and I'm starting to think there's nothing wrong with spending two years happily with the Tongans. "Let's go back to Japan together..." I muttered facing the sea, and quietly raised my head to look at Zongyi.I thought he would be very happy, but he didn't seem to hear, looking at the sea level in the distance.Then he spoke. "Rieko, let's talk about that day."

Now, why not talk about this here?I pretended not to hear, and cast my gaze to the sea level.
