As the time was running, Kazuya was running too. He had never been late for work before and hoped that God would forgive him. As he finally reached the church a priest came to him.
ThePriest: Kazuya, you are late.
Kazuya took a deep breath.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Yes, I'm sorry. I had a little problem at home so I couldn't make it on time.
ThePriest: Hmm... A problem you say? Is it something serious?
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Like you'd care.
ThePriest: Why of course I do. It is my duty to help people with their problems.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Well go and help someone else, because I don't need help!
The priest blinked confused.
ThePriest: I see. Well, in that case maybe you should----
His speech was cut by a sound of a door opening. The men turned to the door and saw a beautiful Japanese woman standing on the doorway. She had a black silky hair with a white hair-band, light cotton dress and a gorgeous smile on her face. Recognizing the woman, Kazuya quickly turned around.
Jun: Excuse me, I'd like to speak with the Father Confessor. Where could I find him?
ThePriest: Why he is over he---
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya)(whispering): Tell her I'll be right back.
Kazuya ran into another room. Jun looked after him confused.
ThePriest: Ah, forgive me. He has a few problems at home. Don't let it bother you.
Jun: Problems? What a coincidence! I have a problem at home too and that's what I'd like to talk to him about.
ThePriest: He'll be back soon. I hope you can open your heart to him.
Jun sat onto the confession chair and soon Kazuya came and sat opposite her.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya)(thinking): No panic. You can do this.... Just listen to what she has to say.... Everything will go just fine....
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Ahem.... So, how may I help you?
Jun: I wanted to talk to you about something that happened at my home. The other priest told me you had some problems at home too so I thought there couldn't be better opportunity to talk to you.
Kazuya swallowed.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): I uh... I see. Did he say anything else about me?
Jun stared at him a little confused.
Jun: No. Why?
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Oh nothing! Nothing at all... So what did you want to talk to me about?
Jun: This morning when both, my husband and I, were at home we had such a strange fight.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Uh... What were you fighting about?
Jun: Well first it was about our son. He hasn't been at home since last month and I'm really afraid something might have happened to him because he hasn't said anything about his whereabouts. Then my husband said I worry too much and he knows that our son's just fine.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Then what's the problem?
Jun: The problem is that I don't trust my husband. And I don't mean just this thing but he's been acting so strangely since last winter. He's not the same man I married.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Honey, people change. You just need to get that into your head and accept it.
Jun looked at him in shock.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): I, uh.... I mean usually when people marry the person they marry, the person they marry is different later.... I mean... As you spend time with your loved one, sooner or later you will get tired of him or her.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya)(thinking): That's supposed to be an advice??!!
Jun: Get... Tired of him? But I love him.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Err... Yes and he loves you too... Very much. What I meant was... Don't take it too seriously. Respect this "new him" and try to understand and support him.
Jun: Hmm... You're right. I can't just try to change him back. I have to live in present and support him with what he's doing.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Right.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya)(thinking): There. Everything went just fine.
Jun: It's just so strange...
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): What is?
Jun: I know he's not really a religious person but some strange reason he is even more refrained from churches than he used to be. It's like he doesn't want to be recognized or something. Or then he just thinks it's embarrassing to visit a church.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Oh, I'm sure it's just a part of this "new him" –style. You always worry too much.
Jun: Always?
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Well, you always seem to worry about everyone else so you don't have time to take care of yourself.
Jun: Oh.... Maybe you're right. But I'm a mother and a wife; I have to take care of my family.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Ma'am, your son and husband are both adults. They can take care of themselves. It's time for you to concentrate to yourself.
Jun: Yes you have a point there. Maybe I am worrying too much after all.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Don't blame yourself. You're a wonderful mother and a wife and worrying is a part of your personality. It's just who you are.
Jun smiled.
Jun: I hope my husband would have your understanding and advices. It feels like you're the only person I can count on with these things.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): I think that you just need to get to know this "new husband of yours" and who knows, maybe he understands you better than you could ever imagine.
Jun: Yes, I will. In a way it's been good for me that my son has been away for a while.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Why is that?
Jun: When he's gone my husband and I can be together more often. And now that my son and I keep more distant to each other I don't have to feel nervous around him.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Oh not this again...
Jun: Sorry?
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): It's good that it has helped you because you do understand that a relationship between a mother and a son is not good.
Jun: A relationship?! I'm not starting a relationship with my own son! I just get this annoying unexplained feeling whenever I'm around him. That's all.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Uh-huh. Well as long as his gone everything will be fine, right?
Jun: But I miss him. Father, he is my son and he's the most important thing in my life. I do love him with the bottom of my heart but not like I love my husband. I just wonder where he might be.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Ma'am, he's twenty-one. He's probably passed out in a dumpster for too much drinking and partying with his friends.
Jun: In a dumpster??! Oh my God, I have to find him!
Jun was about to leave...
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): NO!! WAIT!!
She turned to him again.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): If you save him now, he will never be able to take care of himself. Give him a chance to be a man.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya)(thinking): Wow, I said that....?
Jun: But... What if he's hurt?
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Trust me, he will be just fine.
A smile crept onto Jun's lips.
Jun: You sounded just like my husband. Maybe you two have more in common than I thought after all.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya)(thinking): If you just knew...
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Maybe.
Jun stood up.
Jun: Thank you so much for your time father. This conversation has really been helpful for me.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): I'm glad to hear that. It was very helpful for me too.
Jun: Oh?
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Yes. Every conversation always solves a few problems see.
Jun: I see. Well thank you once again. I must get going. I'll see you later then!
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Yes. Bye bye.
Jun left the church and Kazuya sat there in peace.
TheFatherConfessor(Kazuya): Every conversation solves a few problems? Hmm... I wonder...
