Love My Life

LOVE MY LIFE:

Eri.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Give me some.

It's been three days.

Maybe he's mad at me.

But you called and said

you would stay here, no?

Yes, but I'm thinking maybe

it's time to tell him about us.

I think he will accept it fine.

You think?

Yes, because your father is

the wise, literate Izumiya.

Not like mine, who thinks

being gay is a disease.

Lots of ketchup.

I'm home.

Dad, what are you translating now?

Nid Cranz, a story

from The New Yorker.

Something wrong?

No.

I was just wondering what you were doing.

I was alone 3 days.

I missed you.

Ichiko, you were with a boyfriend,

not a friend, right?

Oh, no, I'm right.

You don't need to keep it secret.

Oh, really?

Do you want to know that person?

- Of course I do.

- Really?

Even if it scares me a little.

I'd be sorry for your mother

if you chose someone weird.

But, well, life is about

making mistakes.

So, even if it's someone strange

you will be ok, right?

Is he that weird?

No,...it's a nice person.

So, you are taking her

to meet him?

That's right.

- Umm, but...that's risky.

- It is?

I think so.

You may say he understands

our love, 'cause of his work,but...

if his own daughter brings a girlfriend

home, I'm not sure what happens.

Really? Eri thinks it will be fine.

I hope so too.

Our way of life is not very

accepted by society.

We may feel we are alone but

we have to deal with it.

Maybe Take is right,

but...anyway...

I took her so that she could meet my dad.

We met at a disco club.

Since our eyes met,

I knew I had been looking for her.

Suddenly I was dancing with Eri.

We've been dating since then.

- So... Eri, you study?

- Yes, I study at Jounan University.

Eri studies Law, to become a

lawyer. She's a hard working girl.

She also knows a lot about

Literature. Isn't it so?

I'm not sure, but I like to read.

Recently I read the anthology

of Hyrum's short stories.

That book has not been translated yet.

No, i read it in it's original language.

I found it very interesting.

You read it on the original version?

That requires quite some knowledge.

You have good taste.

The book I translated will be published

soon. I'll give you a copy, if you like.

Oh, yes, please! Thank you.

There are more than enough.

- Sir...

- Yes?

When I'm with Ichiko

my heart is filled with joy.

I don't know any girl that

sees things in such an honest way.

You are also lovely.

You have beautiful, sincere eyes.

Wow...

Ichiko, I haven't seen a girl so

beautiful since your mother. I'm embarrased.

Dady, you're turning red.

- That's because it's so hot in here.

- You're making that up.

- Were you surprised?

- Honestly, yes.

And then I realised that you are

a product of your mother and I.

I'm gay. And your mother was a lesbian.

Oh, I annoyed her.

I promissed your mother

I would never tell you.

Ichiko, your mother would forgive me, right?

Your mother and I were old friends...

and best friends.

But we were never in love.

It hapened that we broke up with

our partners at the same time.

And then your mother said she wanted

a baby, she wanted a family life.

I was surprised because I was

thinking the same.

So when we were going home

we decided to marry.

Ichiko, do you remember your

mother's friend, Chinami?

That woman so cute?

Yes, she was your mother's lover.

Look, this marriage

was not a farce.

When you were born

we felt so happy.

This is as if you saved

your father.

Saved?

He had to live his life hiding

his true nature from his daughter.

- That must have been really hard for him.

- But...
