Her Love Boils Bathwater Page #6

But...

Kimie...

couldn't hear...

you crying...

couldn't hear your feelings.

For a 19-year-old mother?

it was unbearable

So she left.

15 years ago

on April 25.

Azumi.

You're going to go introduce

yourself to Ms. Sakamaki.

No.

Get out of the car.

No.

You have to go.

No!

Azumi!

- Azumi!

- I don't want to.

Azumi!

Don't run away. You can do it.

I know you can.

I can't...l can't do it.

Yes, you can.

You can do it. Because you're...

my daughter, aren't you?

I'll pick you up later.

How is everyone doing?

..every year on the same day.

Write her a thank you letter again.

Why me every year?

It's a family rule.

A rule you and Dad made.

...make the people happier...

April 25. Kimie Sakamaki

"Are you Azumi?"

"Hello."

"My name is

"Azumi Sachino."

"Why do you know sign language?"

"My mother

"said it'll be useful for me one day

"and made me learn it.

She's pretty, isn't she?

Much younger than me too.

And healthy.

Ayuko.

Will you go get Azumi?

I'm tired.

Mom? Mom!

Mom!

I promise.

Mommy will come back and get you.

I'll be back for you.

Sorry.

Futaba.

Mom is...

You did good.

The breeze feels nice.

Yeah. The birds are singing.

It's so bright.

How are things with Kimie?

We text every day.

She's coming to visit next week.

Okay.

Ayuko, your shoes are worn out.

They're totally fine. Real comfortable.

Recently, I've been having

the same dream every night.

It's about my mother.

She comes and gets me.

Sol realized something.

My mother

is no longer in this world.

She's going to come and get me when I die.

That's why

I won't be alone even when I die.

Ayuko.

Don't cry.

Promise me.

Starting today, you won't let

Mom see you looking sad.

I promise.

Hey.

How was she?

Same as yesterday.

What's that like?

We took a walk again.

Is there anything she wants?

Why don't you go ask her yourself?

Ayuko, work the counter first.

Good evening.

Thank you.

From Kimie.

"I'm arriving at 15:00 on Monday."

"It's been a while so I'm nervous."

It's from Mom.

"Buy new shoes for Ayuko."

"And help your Dad."

Always thinking about others.

Want some water?

No thanks.

You should go now.

Back to the bath house.

Ayuko.

I'm only saying this because he's nagging me.

Dad wants to know if there's anything you want.

And...

This.

Give him this message.

Hi, girls. What did she say?

"To think I'm leaving my family

with your small-scaled dad"

"I'm so worried, I can't die in peace."

Her words.

Azumi, look this way.

Did you do your hair by yourself?

I can do it myself now.

Great. It looks really nice.

Mrs. Sachino!

Mayu!

Long time no see.

I went to the bath house

and was told you were here.
