Secrets and Suspicions
Chapter 3: An Affair?
The days went by as usual. Fuji was no longer working overtime which puts Sakuno's mind to ease.
"Risa-chan, stay close to me or you'll get lost," Sakuno told her daughter.
They were in the mall shopping for new clothes for the kids. It was crowded as it was a Sunday. Fuji had an outdoor photo shoot at the beach so he couldn't come with them.
"Okaasan, I'm hungry. Can we go and eat? Please?" Risa asked her mother.
"Oh okay. Where do you want to eat?" Sakuno asked.
"How about that sushi restaurant?" Ryoki suggested, pointing at a restaurant on their left.
Ryoki instantly regretted suggesting that restaurant. He tried to get his mother's attention away from the restaurant but apparently Sakuno had seen it.
Inside the restaurant, Fuji was seen eating lunch with a woman, a pretty one at that. All the suspicions that she had came back to her. 'I thought he was having an outdoor photo shoot at the beach. Why is he here? More importantly, who is that woman?'
"She's probably his client. Don't worry too much about it okaasan. Otousan would never cheat on you," Ryoki reasoned with his mother. He knew what his mother was thinking.
"Why don't we go and eat at that fast food restaurant?" Ryoki said, trying to lighten up the atmosphere. He grabbed his sister's and Sakuno's hand and led them away. Sakuno was too occupied in her thoughts to respond.

"Tomo-chan, what should I do?" Sakuno asked her best friend.
Sakuno had called her best friend as soon as she reached home. She badly needed advice on what to do next. Tomoka had rushed over at once.
"I don't know, Sakuno. Maybe Ryo-chan's right. I don't think Fuji-san would do that to you," Tomoka replied.
"But, he lied to me. He said he was working." Sakuno was getting angry.
"Think rationally Sakuno. Would you really think he would cheat on you? Think properly before you answer." Tomoka tried to calm her friend down.
Sakuno thought about it. She realized that throughout their 5 years of marriage, Fuji had been an incredibly sweet and loving husband and father to her and the kids.
"He wouldn't do that," Sakuno replied after a few moments of thinking.
"There you have your answer. Anyway if he dares to cheat on you, I'll make him regret it," Tomoka said.
Sakuno laughed. "Thanks, Tomo-chan."
