paradise lost 渡边淳一 1886Words 2018-03-03
That night, it was past eleven o'clock when Jiu Mu returned home, and his wife was still up, but she didn't come out to greet him as usual.Jiu Mu went straight into his room which also doubles as a study, took off his coat, put on a relaxed nightgown, and thought to himself: If you go to the living room to meet your wife now, the failure to return last night will definitely lead to a tense atmosphere, and even a dispute cannot be avoided.Instead of creating that situation, it is better to simply pretend to be tired and go to sleep.In fact, I was really tired after the affair, and I didn't bother to explain why I couldn't come back.

But if you pretend to be confused now and still have to meet tomorrow, it will only be more troublesome to procrastinate the problem. Why don't you take advantage of tonight to say that you are busy with work and just apologize.  Jiu Mu made up his mind, stood up and looked in the mirror, and went to the living room after making sure there was nothing unusual.As he expected, his wife was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw Jiumu, he whispered, "I'm back!" Jiumu nodded, and unexpectedly saw that his wife was calm, so he sat down on the chair next to him with confidence. , yawned, "So tired!"

"I was planning to come back last night, but things couldn't be finished, so it continued until today." He told his wife that he was going to temples and museums in Kyoto to collect information. Just because I have already gone out with Rinko several times in this name, I feel a little guilty. "I wanted to contact you yesterday, but I fell asleep after getting drunk..." When Jiu Mu said this, he yawned lightly again, and when he was about to reach for the cigarettes on the table, his wife turned off the TV, turned to him and said, "You don't have to be so reluctant!"

"reluctantly?" The wife nodded slowly, wrapped her hands around the teacup on the table and said, "Let's get a divorce! This seems better." This was simply a bolt from the blue, and what came out of his wife's mouth was completely unexpected to him. "It's easy for me to divorce now, and you are happy too." Hearing what she said, Hisaki was still wondering if she was joking or teasing him, and the wife continued: "At this age, there is nothing to force each other." My wife usually doesn't yell and lose her temper. Even if she is dissatisfied, she just explains it concisely, and then has an attitude that has nothing to do with herself.

Jiu Mu thinks that this is because his wife is naturally open-minded, but today's situation is a little different.She was calmer than usual, with a deliberate and determined tone in her tone. "But why..." Jiu Mu forgot to light a cigarette, and asked his wife: "You suddenly said such a thing, so what can you do?" "There's nothing wrong with it, you should know the reason why I said that best." The wife looked directly at him, and Jiu Mu unconsciously turned his face away. He thought, maybe his wife really knew about Rinko? In the past, she had always put on an indifferent attitude of "you are you, I am me". Jiumu still thought that was very good, but now it seems that it is not. I was too naive, my wife had already seen through everything.

"But, there is no need to suddenly..." "Not suddenly, I'm afraid it's too late. If you don't divorce and stay with her now, she is too pitiful." "she?" "You are so obsessed, you must like it very much!" The wife's voice was so calm that it made people hate it. "Don't worry about my affairs, I'm fine." It's not that Jiu Mu never thought about divorcing his wife.During the period of marriage burnout after seven or eight years of marriage, and when I was in close relationship with other women, I thought about breaking up with my wife and returning to being single. Especially after I met Rinko, I considered divorce first and then married Rinko. .

But in reality, when divorce is really going to happen, there are various problems that lie ahead.First of all, how can he tell his wife who has no special shortcomings that he wants to divorce? And how can he make his only daughter Zhijia forgive? Besides, does he still have the drive to destroy a complete family and rebuild a new one? To do that is Isn't it because I am too old and too used to the current life? Most importantly, can Rinko get a complete divorce and stay with me? Thinking of these difficulties, the momentary enthusiasm immediately turned cold, and I felt that it was still the burden of the current family, and it was best to meet my lover when I wanted to, and not interfere with the lifestyle of those around me.

As a result, in the past six months, the enthusiasm of wanting to divorce and be with Rinko, and the calmness of not acting childishly acted against each other, and continued to advance and retreat. However, in this inner attack and defense, he seems to have forgotten the most important thing about his wife's mind.In fact, it can't be said that he forgot, to be precise, he didn't take it to heart, thinking that her feelings hadn't changed. Now that I think about it carefully, he didn't tell his wife that he wanted a divorce. He felt that divorce was difficult because he believed that "my wife loves me and doesn't want to divorce". He has always believed in this point from beginning to end.

At this moment, the wife said "Let's get a divorce", which is tantamount to completely overturning Jiu Mu's past thoughts.He never dreamed that his wife would take the initiative to ask for a divorce. "OK!" The tone of the wife urging the divorce was very bright, without any feeling of confusion and depression. Perhaps this was the conclusion she came to after full consideration, but it was too sudden for Jiu Mu to answer immediately. That night he rested without any conclusions, and the next morning he woke up a little earlier, looked at his wife's expression, and saw that she looked the same as usual and was calmly preparing breakfast.

Maybe what he said last night was a joke to warn Mr. who is too overwhelmed! He thought so, and when he got up to go to work after breakfast, his wife whispered: "Don't forget what you mentioned last night!" Jiu Mu looked back at her, but she carried the tableware to the sink as if nothing happened.  Jiumu wanted to ask her, "Is it true?" His wife had already turned on the tap and started washing the dishes. Jiumu gave up, walked to the entrance, put on his shoes and looked back at his wife. She didn't seem to want to send him out, so he had no choice but to open the door and go out.

Although the sky is clear, there is a slight humidity in the air, and the budding treetops remind people of the approaching spring. Jiu Mu walked slowly towards the station in the fresh air in the early morning, thinking again about the fact that he was forced to divorce by his wife. To be honest, Jiumu used to think that such things as divorce had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect that he would become the party involved without knowing it.Jiu Mu was deeply embarrassed by this sudden change of position, and he was still muttering in his heart: "Is Madam sincere..."
