Chapter 1:
It's been 2 years since Miyu and Kanata gave vows to each other, swearing that they will love each other 'for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part'. It's so easy to say that… everybody knows how to say it even if you're not yet married. Well, maybe because they really love each on that time that's why they say it with all of their hearts. But how about now, will they able to say it again if they feel that they weren't meant for each other?

Morning at Saionji temple--
"Miyu, do you have any plans to do grocery? We haven't got any milk in here anymore." asked Kanata as he saw their refrigerator almost empty.
"Kanata, if I just had time to do grocery… surely I have done that… but can't you see that I'm so busy checking these thousands of test papers and you think I still have time to go to somewhere else. And take note: You're not helping me either." said the blonde who is so busy in her work. She is now one of the advisers of Heomachi High school, teaching Homeroom and English subject.
"So what supposed you are saying? That me, should be the one to do grocery? Who told you to work? I didn't even allow you to go to work! My goodness Miyu, I'm working 48 hours in the hospital… saving lives of those unknown people. Yet you still ask me to help you? Haven't you ask me if I'm still okay. I'm tired after work yet I will see you and this house such a big mess." said Kanata in his known calm voice. He's now 26 year old doctor of Heomachi hospital, an expert in surgical and medical procedure and known as the youngest hunk doctor in town.
"I didn't ask you to do grocery. I just said that still I have no time to do it because as of now I'm busy checking test papers! You know Kanata, you never understand me! You know I love kids so much that's why I choose to become a teacher. Had you forgotten that? It's my passion!" explained the blonde.
"Of course I knew it! You say that many times… or I should say million times but still, you didn't change! You're still the girl whom I knew for the last 12 years. Still clumsy and don't know how to manage a house. Maybe that's the reason why we still haven't got a child because of your late attitude. Who knows if we got baby here right now! Maybe this house will be such a great disaster!" said the brunet irritably.
"STOP IT!" Miyu shouted with a teary eye. "How come you say that? It's your fault that's why we haven't got a baby! Coz your work is more important to you than me! You come home late and sometimes you came after 2 or 3 days … yet you're still saying why we still haven't got a child? What kind of a doctor you are!?" shouted Miyu almost gonna cry.
"I know! I know! Don't blame that thing to me… I'm working for our future, for our future baby and for our future family. What I mean is that… do first the things that the housewife do inside the house before you do your outside work."
"What?! Do I need to inform you that I already cleaned the house? Done the laundry? Washed the dishes? Cleaned your car every day? Prepared your meal, clothes and your warm bath? Do I need to say that? Or do you want me to call you at work and say, 'hey honey, I already washed dishes… what's my next assignment!?' And not even once thank me for all the things that I have done to you… not even once, Kanata! Not even once!"
"For heaven's sake, Miyu! That's your job! There's no need for an award or appreciation on that… it's your responsibility to act as a wife and not to teach kids in school! Every housewife do that… not to mention that your cooking was still amateur. You need to work hard for it just to become a perfect wife."
"Perfect wife!" Miyu gasped lots of air and continued, "And my cookin'! Kanata, why you don't just say that I'm such a worst person that you've married. I'm sick and tired on your accusation as if I didn't do my best for the last two years. Still I sulk! Why you just spat on my face and say you want a Nanny not a wife! For I know I'm just nothing in your sight. I'm tired Kanata, I'm tired of everything… I want out…!"
"Miyu, you never understand what I'm telling to you! Will please listen first before you comment on something! You freak for no reason… you shout for no reason! What else do you want me to do? Leave my work and help you in household chores? It's your job to do that and mine is to work. I'm telling you, Resign in your work and do what wife does! Understood!?"
"No!" she said and bit her lip. "I remember when we first get married; we promised that we will help each other… but you broke it. You never understand me… you never know what's going on in my life… you never ask me how I feel today longing for you every night. Yet you're telling me to resign on my job? What do I supposed to do…? Lock myself inside this huge house of yours. I can't do that Kanata, I will die if I do that. --- I'm tired of this life… I'm tired being your wife. I want out…!"
Kanata can't even take any other words to say, he was shocked by Miyu's words. He didn't mean to say what he had said… he was just explaining to her the reality of being a wife yet Miyu brawled for an out.
Then he went close to Miyu, held her arms and said, "Miyu… I-I'm sorry… I didn't mean-" but Miyu dodge it and said, "No Kanata… No! Let's just face it… we are not really meant for each other… We have different views in life ever since we met. And I guess this marriage is just a joke! I'm sick of this life! I want peace!" then she ran to her room and shut the door firmly.
Kanata left astounded.
To be continued…
