Equinox Flower Page #3

Really? I apologise.

It might be my heart.

I suddenly feel it tighten up

and I have difficulty breathing.

I think I might be dying.

This young doctor told me

to get a full physical,

but I'm scared of what they might do to me.

I'm scared of the drill at the dentist.

I almost faint when I see it approaching.

I always end up rushing home.

If I were to get into this human dock...

Hold on.

What is it?

Excuse me. I need to go to the toilet.

Please, go ahead. Or maybe I should leave.

Take your time.

All right, then.

- Please serve tea in the reception room.

- Yes.

- Should I wait?

- No, you can leave.

- Is anybody home?

- Yes.

Welcome!

I'm Yukiko Sasaki from Kyoto.

Just a moment, please.

Hello. It's good to see you.

Hello.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

Where is everybody?

They go shopping on Sundays.

I see.

Come on in.

You'll like the other room better.

You must be a second-rate customer.

Yes, you should give me

bad bamboo shoots.

Right.

There. For you.

Thank you.

Ms Tomizawa, please bring tea and cakes.

Right away.

I have a gift for you.

Thank you.

Did your mother go to the hospital?

She finally decided to go.

Too much fussing?

Yes, the night before she got admitted,

she went on and on

about how she didn't know what to do

and how she just wanted to cancel

the appointment and return to Kyoto.

She wouldn't listen to anything I say.

But you persuaded her?

She was being completely irrational,

so I told her,

"Mother, I'm worried about your health,

so do this or I'll leave home."

So she finally listened to me.

Really?

I had to be firm.

There are good hospitals in Kyoto, too.

I know. This is just Mother's little setup.

- Setup?

- Yes.

- Please.

- Thanks!

Tokyo and Kyoto are so different.

What about your mother's setup?

Did she tell you about my marriage?

Yes, she said something a young doctor

at the hospital.

I know what she's thinking.

She gets hospitalised

so I visit the hospital everyday,

and then she sets me up with the doctor.

She's so transparent.

Do you like this doctor?

No, I'm not interested in him.

Then I feel sorry for your mother.

I understand, but this is for her health.

I suppose it is.

What will you do in the meantime?

I'm going shopping,

and then I'm heading back to Kyoto.

You're leaving your mother?

That's right.

It's very cruel!

I know, but I need to take drastic measures

if I'm going to stop her

from constantly trying to choose

my husband. I can't take it anymore.

Does she do that?

Constantly. Anyway,

I don't want to leave Matsu alone at the inn.

Do you have someone in your life already?

No, I don't.

You shouldn't rush to get married.

That's true.
