A Bride for Rip Van Winkle Page #4

Synopsis: Nanami is an apathetic, part-time junior high school teacher, whose only solace comes from connecting with others on "Planet", a new social network service. One day, a young man named Tetsuya messages her and asks to meet in person. The two begin dating and quickly become engaged. When Testuya begs Nanami to increase her guest list for the wedding, Nanami reaches out to online-friend, Amuro, a self-proclaimed jack-of-all-trades, who hires actors to play Nanami's guests on her big day. A few weeks following the ceremony, Tetsuya's mother confronts Nanami with allegations of lying and cheating. Heartbroken and despondent, Nanami checks herself into a hotel and manages to get hired there as a maid. One day, Amuro offers Nanami a housekeeping job in an old mansion, whose sole resident's infectious spirit helps Nanami to open her heart. However, Nanami soon realizes that Amuro, the mansion, and its occupant aren't what they seem - and even dreams have limits.

One day...

...my parents said to me...

We won't send you to college like that.

These words changed me.

I studied hard and my grades improved.

I was accepted into college.

On both warm and cold days...

...my mom always woke up early

and made my lunch.

I never thanked you...

...but I should have.

Thank you.

And today, I work as a teacher...

...and then I met Nanami.

I'm also a teacher...

...and then I met Tetsuya.

In the long road ahead...

...no matter the troubles...

...we will overcome it, together.

We both still have much to learn.

Please kindly watch over us.

I'll take that.

Was this good?

- I'm off.

- Take care.

Have a good day!

Hi Nanami.

Good afternoon.

How do you like married life?

I'm not so sure.

You hadn't written your blog, so I was worried.

I changed my account.

Can you scan my ID?

Sure.

One moment.

Is this it?

Okay.

Campanella...

From the book, "Night on the

Galactic Railroad."

I'm a {an oi Keri Miyazawa.

I used to blog whatever I wanted...

...then my husband found it.

I understand your want for freedom.

I told him it wasn't me,

but he still suspects something.

He's acting rather distant.

The marriage blues?

That'd be a relief.

I found this on the floor.

It's a woman's earring, isn't it?

And so...um...

I understand.

Is your husband having an affair?

Yes.

That is what I want...

But I thought to ask the price first.

It's usually around $300/day.

It depends on the time.

But it usually gets to

around $5,000 to $10,000.

$10,000..

That's a lot of money.

I'll give you a discount as Ramba Ral's friend.

How about $3,000 total? No more, no less.

That's still expensive.

You can pay me in installments.

A little bit at a time.

For Ramba Ral.

Do you like chocolates?

What?

Yes, I do.

Would you like one?

- Here you are.

- Thank you.

What can I say...

Men and women don't change,

just because of marriage.

Don't get your hopes up.

So I should just sit there

while my husband has an affair?

That might be one way to say it.

Trifles of love are never ending.

You might be right.

My mother ran off with a younger man.

That's nothing new.

She's not just a mother, but a woman too.

Say if I wanted it, you'd be mine in an hour.

Aren't you confident.

It's not confidence.

If you fall for me, it wouldn't be my fault.

It'd be yours.

What do you mean?

You fall...only because you want to.

I have feelings for you?

Not at all!

You don't care a bit about me.

Here, have another chocolate.

Here you go.

This distance between us...

...you're the one who came to me.

Wanting to depend on someone...

...trying to fill some void...

You should be careful.
