After a year…
Ayu: Kayo. Wake up or you'll be late for your first day of school.
Kayo: okay, mom.
Kayo takes a bath and goes straight to the dining room to eat breakfast. Ayu takes her to preschool and goes to meet Tsujiai in their favorite Restaurant.
Ayu: Sorry I'm late. I had to drop Kayo off her school.
Tsujiai: It's okay. I've ordered already..
Ayu: Okay.
Tsujiai: It's Kayo's first day of school right?
Ayu: Yep. I'm really worried.
Tsujiai: Why?
Ayu: You know, she might feel out of place because she doesn't know anybody.
Tsujiai: That's pretty normal. Don't worry in her second day, she can meet new friends.
Ayu: okay. I guess I worry too much. It's just that I don't know how it is all about being a mother.
Tsujiai: Don't worry, I know you're doing a good job.
Ayu: Thanks.
Tsujiai: Ayu…
Ayu: What?
Tsujiai: Here. (hands a box to Ayu)
Ayu: I think I know what this is.
Tsujiai: Will you marry me?
Ayu: Yes.
Tsujiai: Kayo's gonna have a father.
Ayu: And I think she'll like the idea.
Tsujiai: Let's spill the news later to her.
Ayu: okay. I know she will like the news.
Later….
AT the Tateishi's
Ayu: Um.. Kayo.
Kayo: yes mom?
Ayu: Uncle and I have something to tell you..
Just then the phone rings.
Tsujiai: I'll just get the phone.
Tsujiai: hello?
Kaji: Hello. Is this where Ayu Tateishi lives?
Tsujiai: Yes. Who's this?
Kaji realizes it's somebody else and didn't respond.
Tsujiai: Hold on. Ayu!
Ayu: Who is it?
Tsujiai: Dunno.
Ayu: Okay, Thanks Tsujiai. Love you. Stay there with Kayo.
Kaji hears the words, Tsujiai, Kayo and Love you.
Ayu: Um. hello?
Kaji: Ayu…
Ayu: This is Ayu. Who's this?
Kaji: It's Kaji.
Ayu: Kaa…Kaji?
Kaji: Tsujiai's there?
Ayu: Yes, he is. Why did you call???
Kaji: I want to meet up with you.
Ayu: But. I can't go back to Japan.
Kaji: I'll go there in Canada next month once I get a leave.
Ayu: huh? Leave us alone. We're living peacefully for four years and now you're coming back?
Kaji: I love you, Ayu. Don't you love me too?
Ayu: um..I can't answer that. Goodbye. click.
Kaji's POV
WE? which we? Tsujiai's there but why? And who's Kayo? I can't believe it,Tsujiai's there with Ayu. I've got a bad feeling about this. I'll call Aya.
Kaji dials the phone.
Kaji: Hello? Can I please speak with Aya Tateishi?
Aya: Oh Kaji. This is Aya.
Kaji: Aya. Can I ask you something?
Aya: um..sure.
Kaji: What's with Tsujiai?
Aya: They're together again, Kaji. And Ayu just told me that they're gonna get married next month. Please Kaji don't interrupt. Ayu's already happy with Tsujiai and her daughter.
Kaji: Kayo? Is that her?
Aya: Um..yes. Kayo.
Kaji: How did she get the name?
Aya: um. It's kinda from your name. I think.
Kaji: okay. Is Ayu alright with Kayo?
Aya: Yes.
Kaji: tell me something about my daughter.
Aya: um…she's nice and funny, bubbly, energetic and she really loves her mother. She likes Tsujiai a lot. Tsujiai visits Ayu and Kayo almost everyday. And just today, it was her first day of school.
Kaji: I want to see Ayu and our daughter.
Aya: Please no.
Kaji: But I have a right to. She's my daughter. And I know Ayu still loves me.
Aya: I'm not so certain about that. If she still does love you, why would she allow marrying Tsujiai.
Kaji: I..don't know. I promise Aya I'll be there two weeks from now.
Aya: But please. Just a favor.
Kaji: what is it?
Aya: please don't tell Ayu I'm talking to you ever since we moved here. She might not forgive me.
Kaji: Okay. Promise. Thanks for everything Aya.
Aya: Remember I'm doing this for Kayo because after all, you're his father.
Kaji: bye.
Aya: bye.
