Kanae's P.O.V
In the end I couldn't do it. I couldn't return to the hotel room...I couldn't bare the silence anymore. I went straight home. It wasn't until after I'd gotten off the plane and put Yukiko in her crib that I called Takashi.
"Where are you? I've been looking around for hours!"
" I'm home."
There was silence.
"What do you mean?"
"I took a plane back home. I just didn't want to go back to the hotel room."
"We could've..."
" I didn't want to go back...to you."
There was silence again. This time it was cold and sharp and stabbed my throat. Tears welled up in my eyes as I rubbed my eyes.
"I'm here with Yuki for now but...I'm packing up my stuff tonight." I said between heavy breaths.
He sighed heavily "Kanae can we please...just."
I hung up the phone quickly and screamed into my pillow. I didn't think I'd actually do it but now that it's done....I can't say I feel any better....I just broke up my family.
Takashi P.O.V
Was it something I said? What did I do? I took a slow sip of some of the wine I'd had the hotel staff bring up. I ran my hand through my hair as I pulled the little box from my coat pocket and opened it. I set it down on the table and poured myself more wine.
"Life takes you on crazy twists and turns." I said to the ring. " You know...I never wanted kids.I just wanted it to be Kanae and I." I took another long sip.
"But sometimes your actions have consequences...and Yukiko is the best consequence that ever happened to me." I said gulping down more wine.
"I left Kanae alone for many nights...I never expected her to forgive me.But I planned this trip..I thought it'd make things better but it's all went to s**t. I think I'm out of luck."
I threw the engagement ring across the room, lied down in the bed and fell asleep, in hopes that I'd forget today and I'd wake up and it would've all been a nightmare.
