ロシアへ出発する当日。
タカラは抱きついてきて「ママだーいすき、ママがいないとさびしい」と甘えた声。こんなチビに「さびしーい」なんて言われると本当にかわいい。4回寝たら帰って来てと約束させられる。
アラタは相変わらずクールだから、ママが一週間いないのはしょうがないことと諦め気味。
一週間経って帰宅。
玄関のベルを鳴らし、ドアが開くと、Jasonの少し後ろにアラタが立って様子をうかがっている。そして、静かにまっすぐと歩いて来て、ポーカーフェイスのまま無言でぎゅっと抱きついた。
熱があってベッドに寝ていたタカラ。気配で目を覚まして何か言っている。私が部屋に入ると、横になったままぎゅっとカドルしてニーっと笑顔。
一週間の身軽生活。ヨーロッパはやっぱり好きだけど、子供置いて失踪はできないなあ。
On the day I was leaving. Takara kept saying, "I love mummy, I will miss you..." He made me promise to come back after 4 nights.
Arata was in more understanding attitude. He wasn't that upset because he knew I would be back in a week.
A week later. When I rang the door bell, Jason opened the door. Arata was standing behind him and studying me. Without saying anything, he walked towards me and cuddled me quietly without showing any excitement.
Takara was in bed as he'd had a temperature. He noticed I was home, and called me. I went to his room, he cuddled me while still in bed, and he gave me a big smile.
It had been such a good week without kids in my favourite Europe. But I can't go missing leaving my lovely family!
