I was Lying on my bed, waiting for my cheating husband, but instead, I received a message from him that he wouldn't be coming home that day. He told me there was food inside the refrigerator. I just microwaved and ate them. Then I got a text message from him, which read:
[text]
[honey]: "Honey, I am sorry. Ayumi is in a very bad situation, I have to stay here to look after her. Please go to bed without me. I will be at home in the morning."
[end of message]
"FUCK!" I shouted, feeling a sense of betrayal. Why? Maybe I wasn't attractive enough? He was with me and was very kind to me. But that bitch came and stole that from me. What can I do?
[next morning]:
I woke up on my bed to find it empty. I took a shower, and it felt refreshing.
"Honey, I am home, are you home?" he said.
"I... I am in the shower." I said, hiding my excitement or anger.
I got out of the bathroom and got ready for work. As I went to the dining room, I found my husband waiting for me with so many items prepared.
I took my seat without saying anything, clearly angry.
"Honey, I am sorry. You see, Ayumi really needed someone to look after her. You know her mother lives in Hokkaido, right? She can't come and check on her. And she doesn't have anyone else to look after her."
"..."
I kept silent, hoping for him to wish me a Happy Birthday. Yes, today, 14th July, was my birthday. And he never forgot about it. But this time, that stupid bitch step-sissy just made him forget everything.
"I am going, Honey." I said and left.
[Location: Studio]
"Sempi, Good morning. Wow, you are in a disgusting mood today."
"Good morning, Yuki-san. May I go for my recording?" I said with a strong smirk that said, 'get off bitch.'
I completed my recording and went for lunch.
"Hey Aiko, today is your birthday, right? Happy birthday, Aiko." Minami-sempai said. She is a caring sempai. She was the one who taught me a lot.
"Yes, sempai. Thank you."
"Really? Really? Today is Aiko-san's birthday? Let's go somewhere for dinner tonight," Nana said.
"Nana! Why are you always such an airhead? She is married, you know. She wants to go with her husband tonight. Have a nice date today, ney?"
(....date my ass. my husband is so fond of his step sister , he doesn't even remember today is my birthday.....)
"Sure, I will. Okay, bye. See you tomorrow."
"Bye."
I took my leave. I got out of my car and found Ruiji outside.
"SEMPAI!" he shouted with a big smile.
"N...NA...Nakamura-kun, why are you here?"
he took out a necklace and held it to me.
"Happy birthday, sempai. Please accept this gift from me."
I took the necklace from him, but he said, "Let me put it on you."
I hesitated, but he was persistent. So, I allowed him to put it on me. It felt so much more romantic than I had anticipated.
"Wait for me outside, let me get my car out of the parking lot," he said.
Maybe I was very hungry for a wish. Maybe I was hoping for someone to hold my hand.
I got outside and found Ryuji-kun with the car. I got in his car.
He took me to a motel. I didn't like it. But it was better than being alone, right?
We got inside a room. He hugged me so tightly.
"Wait, let me take a bath," I said.
"No, sempai, let me," he said.
"No." I got inside the bath and took a shower. I got out, and he was sitting naked on the bed.
I got in bed and lay down on it. He slowly hugged me and was about to kiss me. He kissed me.
"What is today? You are letting me do anything? You are in love with me, right? Finally, you realized that your husband is trash, right?" he said.
... "Why are you forcing a smile, Aiko?" ...
... "I want a Baby" ...
... "Go shine on your career, Aiko. I am Always with you" ...
Those words were on my mind. Then what did I see? I saw my beloved husband's smiling face. His smile is so beautiful.
"Sempai, I am about to get in."
"No." I pushed him.
I am the one who made him like that. I have to win him back. But if I make myself more dirty, he will just throw me into the trash bin.
I got up, changed back into my dress, and got out. He was chasing me, but as he was naked, he didn't chase me outside.
I was outside my house. I was really hoping not to see his angry face now. I wanted to see his smile. I got in.
"Honey, I am back."
No answer. I went to the dining room. Wow, it was decorated with candles. There was a cake.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVELY AIKO" it was written on it. There was a gift box. I opened it. It was a custom-made pair of dolls dancing inside it. One was called Aiko, and another one was called Takashi.
Takashi.....,honey....., come back...
What have I done?...
