Secrets and Suspicions

Chapter 5: Wedding Anniversary

The sun shone brightly outside. The clock on the bedside table showed 7 am.

"Sakuno, wake up," Fuji whispered to his wife who was still asleep next to him.

Sakuno did not respond. Instead, she turned to face the other way, burying her face in the pillow. Fuji smiled as she watched her trying to block out his voice and the sunlight.

"Sakuno dear, wake up." Still to no avail.

Fuji then did the one thing he knew that will definitely wake her up. He blew gently into her ear which caused her to sit up suddenly, her hand covering her ear. Fuji smiled at her reaction.

"Ohayo, Sakuno." Fuji leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

"Ohayo. Mou Syuusuke, you needn't do that to wake me up," Sakuno replied, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"That's revenge for asking Risa-chan to spray me with water when I wouldn't wake up," Fuji replied, an amused smile on his face. Sakuno giggled.

"By the way, Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary, Sakuno"

"Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary, Syuusuke."

They shared a passionate kiss before getting out of bed.

"Happy Anniversary, otousan, okaasan!" Risa and Ryoki shouted as soon as their parents appeared at the living room.

"Arigatou," Sakuno replied, kissing both her children on the cheek. Risa ran up to her father and demanded him to carry her.

Sakuno went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Ryoki went to help his mother. Risa dragged Fuji to play teatime with her Barbie dolls.

"Ryo-chan, go get Risa-chan," Sakuno ordered her son.

The whole family was getting ready to go to Kawamura Sushi Place for lunch since he had invited them over to celebrate their anniversary.

"Okaasan, we're ready to go," Ryoki emerged with Risa holding his hand and carrying her Barbie doll.

"Syuusuke, we can go now," Sakuno called out to her husband.

Fuji had disappeared to the kitchen when he got a phone call. Sakuno had been wondering that was so private about the call that he had to take it elsewhere. She dismissed all thoughts as she doesn't want anything to spoil this special day.

"Ok. Get in the car everyone," Fuji said.

They then set off to Kawamura's place.

the identity of the woman will be revealed in the last chapter...
