The Mother, The Wife
“Ryuhei-kun!”
“Okaa-chan!” A little boy pouted cutely and tugged at the bottom of his mother’s dress. “You have to play with me the whole day today!”
Sakuno bent down and placed her hands on the shoulders of her son. “I can’t play the whole day with you today Ryuhei-kun! Kaa-chan has chores to do.” She persuaded.
“But Ryuhei wants Kaa-chan to play the whole day with me today!” The little Ryuhei became misty-eyed. “Ryuhei only wants Kaa-chan!”
“Ryuhei-kun…” Sakuno sighed as she saw her son on the verge of tears. She could never win against his tears. There were times even the good-natured Sakuno’s anger reached the boiling point, but as soon as Ryuhei began to sniffle, her heart would immediately soften. She knew she was too soft with him, but she just couldn’t help it.
“All right…” Sakuno gave in. “But just for a while ok?”
“Ryuhei loves Okaa-chan!” Ryuhei hugged Sakuno who just smiled gently at him.
“Matte.”
“Eh?” Sakuno let out.
“Ryuhei,” The newcomer to the conversation said. “You can’t just take Kaa-chan away from me, dane!”
“A…anata…” Sakuno sweatdropped.
“I won’t let Shinya take Kaa-chan away!” Ryuhei retorted and held on tighter to Sakuno.
“You are supposed to call me Otou-san!” Yanagisawa fumed, putting his hands on his hips. “And I have a rare day off dane! I wanted to spend it with my dear Sakuno-chan dane!” Yanagisawa has taken over his father’s hospital and is now a successful doctor. His busy schedule allows him limited time with his family, especially with his beloved wife.
“Oh no! Kaa-chan is mine!” Ryuhei announced, hugging Sakuno even more tightly. “You can just go do the chores!”
“Ryuhei!” Yanagisawa pointed an accusing finger at Ryuhei. “You can’t just snatch Kaa-chan away from me!”
“Oh yes I can!” Ryuhei stuck out his tongue at his father and clung onto Sakuno.
“But…but…” Yanagisawa let out as he began to tear. “That’s not fair dane!” he fell to his knees and wept, invoking laughter from his wife and son.
“I’m so tired!” Sakuno let out as she sat in front of the dressing table, brushing her long, silky hair. “Ryuhei-kun really made me play the whole day with him!”
Yanagisawa closed their bedroom door behind him. He approached Sakuno, a mischievous glint evident in his eyes. Sakuno, always dense about such matters, continued brushing her hair, completely oblivious. Very soon, he was behind her. Without a warning, he wrapped his hands around her from the top, her lithe back pressed against his chest.
“Eep!” Sakuno let out, her shoulders raised slightly from the sudden contact.
“Sakuno-chan…” Yanagisawa whispered, his warm breath tickling her ear. “In the day, you are Ryuhei’s. But at night, in our room…” he went even closer to her. “You’re mine.”
The familiar rose-hue on Sakuno’s cheek returned to colour them and she took deep breaths to calm herself down. “Mo…mou…anata…”
“Sakuno-chan…” Yanagisawa whispered huskily. Just as things were about to progress further, there was a knock on their bedroom door.
“Ah! That must be Ryuhei-kun!” Sakuno stood up from her chair abruptly, pushing the stunned Yanagisawa backwards. “I thought I had tucked him into bed. I wonder what he wants at this hour.”
Sakuno, the unassuming mother, went to answer to the soft knocking on the bedroom door, missing the scowl on her husband’s face. She opened the door gently, and saw the little Ryuhei standing behind it, his small hands clutching his favourite teddy bear and a soft puppy plush toy.
“Okaa-chan…” Ryuhei looked up to his mother with his big, puppy-dog eyes. “Ryuhei can’t get to sleep…”
“Ryuhei-kun…” Sakuno bent down so that she was on the same level as her son.
“Can I sleep with you tonight, Kaa-chan?” Ryuhei asked.
“Of course you can, Ryuhei-kun!” Sakuno smiled kindly at Ryuhei, patting his head lovingly. “Come on in!”
Sakuno closed the door behind them, oblivious of Yanagisawa’s shocked and disappointed expression and complete with his large, gaping mouth.
“But…but…” Yanagisawa protested.
Sakuno carried Ryuhei onto the bed who immediately scrambled onto the middle and situated himself comfortably there. He then used his puppy-dog eyes attack on her again.
“Kaa-chan! Will you hug me as I sleep?” Ryuhei asked as he held onto his mother’s arms.
“No problem!” Sakuno answered with a smile. “Anything for Ryuhei-kun!”
“Yatta!” Ryuhei cheered and raised his stuffed animals high up in victory.
“Sa…Sakuno…” Yanagisawa, who had been ignored the whole while, barely managed to stutter out.
“Anata, we have to get to bed early!” Sakuno said to him. “Ryuhei-kun can’t stay up late!” To her, motherly duties preceded over everything else.
“But…but…” Yanagisawa tried to protest again but it was not heard by Sakuno, who had her full attention on her son. She tucked Ryuhei in who snuggled against her.
“Switch off the lights and come to bed!” Sakuno called out as she patted Ryuhei lovingly and closed her eyes.
Yanagisawa glanced at Sakuno then sighed in defeat. He walked towards where the switch was, and then caught sight of his son looking at him. Ryuhei smirked naughtily at him, and then stuck his tongue out at him before snuggling back into his mother’s warm embrace.
“…” Yanagisawa was too lost in his anger to be even able to mutter a coherent word. “Why you little!” was all he managed to get out before he was scolded by Sakuno.
“Anata! Switch off the lights!” Sakuno scolded before getting back to sleep. Yanagisawa could only look indignantly at her, then at his mischievous son. He gave another sigh of defeat then switched off the lights. As he crawled into bed, he pulled the covers over him and turned on his side so that he was not facing his son and wife.
“Why did I want to have a child, or even children dane!” He cried rather whimsically to himself. “Sakuno…”
