okay, so I was just walking to put away I basket of towels that my mom asked me to and I got this idea for a story. It's short I know. But deal with and I WILL finish "Aphrodite's Promise" one of these days. But for now read and enjoy.
A twenty-seven-year-old woman with a 4-month-old infant on her left hip, a three-year-old boy griping onto to her leg and a basket filled with clothes on her right hip trudges down the hallway of her home. The boy screaming for his daddy and the little baby girl crying for food when she hears a familiar deep voice from the hallway yell "Sakuno? You home?" the man walks around the corner to see the look on her face and finishes "okay, stupid question. You look tired need some help?" "Yes PLEASE Sachiko!" "You know I don't know why you put up with this. Your raising these kids on your own and he's traveling the world." her brother tells her. "Yes I know. But I love him, I'll do anything for him and I love my life no matter how hectic it becomes." as they're sitting in the master bedroom, Sachiko folding and putting away clothes and Sakuno is feeding her young daughter the doorbell rings. Sighing she stands up walks to the front, opens the door, says thank you to the mail man, takes her letter and walks back to the bedroom. Once she sits down she opens the letter and reads while her brother talks again. "I know you don't like me bashing on him like that but you're my little sister and I've always wanted a good life for you. A husband that's always home, not one that's barely home at all, kids who are well behaved and not always screaming for their dad. You know a, perfect life." and Sakuno who has just finished the letter says "My life is perfect. Just a…..different kind of perfect."
Dear My Princess,
I miss you so very much and hate not being there for you and Ryo and Masumi. I hate waking up in empty hotel rooms just waiting for the matches to be over so I can come home and be with my family. I hate having letters being the only way to talk to you. And I hate having pictures be the only way I can see you. But most of all, I love you and the kids and I will for all eternity.
Love, Ryoma
P.S I should be home in a week. I love you
