Chapter 102: The Secret of That Year (I)

Thursday, November 15, 1945, fine.

I'm married to Anna Roberts.

The wedding was small in scale, and the only guests were her parents.

On my side, there is only Pete as a good brother.

After the party, Pete came to me privately, and he still felt that I should keep my distance from Ayuya.

But I don't think so, she's so charming.

My marriage to Anna was set at a very young age.

As long as she doesn't find out, everything is easy to say.

Okay, I'm afraid I'll drink a lot of alcohol later, so I'll write about it here. 』

"Friday, November 16, 1945, fine.

I praise you, O God!

Anna became my wife, and last night she taught me what it takes to be an adult.

It was a little difficult at first, but later, I began to experience that indescribable beautiful experience.

No wonder the bunnies on the island used to be keen on this kind of thing.

It was the first time in 25 years that I felt the wonder.

Ayuya, you know what?

When I kissed Anna, my mind was full of you.

When these few busy days are over, I want to experience this happiness with you. 』

"Monday, December 17, 1945, fine.

Today is my twenty-sixth birthday.

Returning from the bomb shelter in the afternoon, Anna was suspicious.

She asked me if I didn't pay the public rations, did I have a woman outside?

In order to gag her mouth, I had to work extra hard.

When I was with her, it was like completing a military order, and I felt so boring.

Next time, I'll have to find a better excuse to not let her be suspicious. 』

"Tuesday, February 5, 1946, light rain.

Anna was three or four months pregnant, and Ayuya's stomach was reactive.

I didn't know anything about taking care of pregnant women, but I learned a lot from the servants.

Anna is at home to raise the baby with peace of mind, and I have repeatedly used the excuse of patrolling to take care of Ayuya.

There is too much uncertainty about our future.

Sometimes, I find myself wishing Anna wasn't pregnant.

When I realized that I started thinking like this, I felt very guilty and blamed myself.

I have to realize that this is a terrible idea.

I love Ayuya and I love Anna Roberts.

I feel incredibly honored to have my own family right away.

It's just that I can't give Ayuya diazepam.

There are more and more people on the island, and they can't let them find her.

I hope that Ayuya and my children can grow up with peace of mind. 』

"Sunday, July 28, 1946, fine.

Anna's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she is already about to give birth.

The same is true for Ayuya.

With the help of the Roberts family, the Bruce Company grew from strength to strength.

I'm so busy every day, and I really can't lift my energy for trivial things.

The birth of Ayuya's child is a big problem.

I wondered, should I go to deliver the baby, or should I ask Michonne to help?

Just, is she a reliable doctor?'

"Saturday, August 17, 1946, fine.

My son, born today.

And it's twins!

I named them Tom and Jerry.

The two little ones are 16~18 inches tall and weigh about 5 pounds.

Looking at them, I felt warm in my heart, and there was a strange feeling that I couldn't describe.

I felt a new sense of responsibility and longed for the future.

The two little ones can only cry, sleep, and drink milk.

When my father took care of me, was he in such a hurry?'

"Sunday, September 1, 1946, fine.

My daughter was born, the child of me and Ayuya.

I've been busy with work all this time, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to figure it out, so I'll let Michonne help deliver the baby.

For this, I also gave her a large amount of hush money.

The little one has green eyes and is as charming as her mother.

I haven't figured out what to call it yet, but she's always called Ayuya, so let's just call it that.

My dear little Ayuya, to be able to hold you in my arms every day is a gift from God.

You are my light, my hope.

Ayuya needed to be nourished after giving birth, and I had to bring in more supplies.

This is likely to be detected, and I will try to be a little more careful.

Little Ayuya, how I hope you can get through the predicament in front of you before you become sensible.

You are not destined to grow up in the sun, but I still hope that you have a carefree childhood.

I pray to God that you will be a good girl.

A man who knows compassion, responsibility and gratitude. 』

"Sunday, April 13, 1947, heavy rain.

Today is the most uncomfortable day of my life.

Ayuya and Anna Roberts, the two lovets of my life, have passed away.

Anna stumbled and fell off a cliff, and by the time the body was fished up, she was almost unrecognizable.

Rest in peace, my love.

Your soul will last forever.

I thank you for giving me dreams and happy days.

We start here and end here.

I will not be frightened by your departure.

For thy soul is with me. 』

"Monday, April 28, 1947, fine.

Following the death of my beloved, my good brother Pete also left me.

We've known each other for more than 20 years.

Over the years on the island, you have been the person I trust the most.

I never expected to say goodbye in this way.

May God bless you, my good brother. 』

"Friday, May 2, 1947, fine.

Anna's family got the news and hurried to the island.

She is very sad about her passing.

Recently, I have been completely absent from the state, and the company's chores are left to my subordinates.

Little Ayyua has no one to take care of her now, and I go to nurse on time every day.

I also thought about taking her out of the bomb shelter and growing up with Tom Jerry.

But I can't.

The Roberts family would never say yes.

If things get bigger, everything I've worked so will probably come to naught.

Little Ayuya, please forgive me for my cowardice as a father. 』

"Sunday, May 18, 1947, fine.

The number of servants on the island began to increase, and it was inevitable that they would enter the area of the bomb shelter.

I've scattered my men to develop the sub-island, and I've also included the area around the bomb shelter as a no-go zone.

The separate division is too obvious, and I have expanded the scope of the exclusion zone to a large extent.

In this way, one or two offending guys will be punished, and the others will be honest. 』

"Thursday, January 3, 1952, fine.

Tom and Jerry are old enough to go to school.

I've already found housing and a school for them in Los Angeles.

As for little Ayuya, going to school is a real hassle.

I'll find time to go back to Hawaii and buy more children's books and toys.

She is very obedient now, stays in the cave every day, and does not run around.

When you are thirsty and hungry, you will find food for yourself. 』

"Thursday, December 17, 1959, fine.

Today is my 40th birthday.

Time flies.

I haven't kept a diary in years.

The children have grown up, the business is thriving, and everything is on track.

Everything I learned, I will teach little Ayuya.

After years of getting along, she has become very dependent on me.

It's like a well-cared for flower in a greenhouse, it's so delicate.

In the blink of an eye, little Ayuya is already thirteen years old.

To be honest, every time I see her, I always think of Ayuya.

Two people, it's exactly the same. 』
