shige & yuki

A nice aroma from the kitchen brought Kato shigeaki and his 1yr and 11 month old kid, shuichi to the kitchen where his wife, yuki was. She was busy cooking beef spaghetti for dinner as it was shige’s favourite. Both shige and shuichi was pinching on the food and tried to avoid being caught by yuki.

“ shige and shuichi, don’t pinch on the food. if you all don’t stop now, you all will regret it.” Yuki turned to face them and ran towards them. She chased them all the way to the living room and shuichi who was carried by shige keeps giggling in his arms.

“ okok, I surrender” shige said yuki when she caught them. Yuki was tickling them till all of them fall on the sofa.

As yuki was busying setting up dinner on the table, the phone rang.

“ moshi moshi, Linda, shibaraku desu nee. Ogenki desu ka?” said yuki excitedly. After awhile, she put down the phone and sat down on the table.

“ shige shuichi, dinner time” the father and child sat at their usual place on the table.
Shuichi dinner was chicken porridge which yuki had cooked earlier. As everyone was eating their food, yuki suddenly asked a question.

“ shige, did you forget to tell me something important?” yuki look suspiciously at shige who was trying to avoid her stare.

“ alright, I believe the caller just now was linda-chan. Yup, music station is having a special edition for NEWS and they want to invite all of us including our family over for a little chat.” Shige give yuki a puppy face that never fails to make yuki succumb.

“lets eat dinner now and talk later” yuki show a silly face to shige who was happily eating his spaghetti.

After dinner, shuichi insisted on watching his favourite cartoon on tv. While the kid was engrossed in the cartoon, yuki drag shige to the other side of the room.

“ what is it all about shige? I heard from linda that they had to cut short their holiday in Hawaii for the filming and they had argued over it. Shige, tell me all the details.”

Shige walked to where yuki was and put his hand on her shoulder. “ well, it is NEWS 12 yrs anniversary and the music station producers intend to invite the spouses of the members to attend it. However, I have not given my answers to them yet though all the other members inlcluding yuya, are quite enthusiastic about this arrangement.”

“ do you think I should attend? Its been so long since I appear on screen. I’m quite worried of having to face the audience again.” Yuki hold the hand on her shoulder.

“ yuki, look at me. You will do fine. Don’t forget that I’m there with you and I will never let you out of my sight for a single moment. Trust me things will be fine.” Shige held yuki’s free hand and put it to his heart.

“ well, when is the filming?” yuki said to shige while resting her head on his shoulder.

“that is what worries me. It falls on shuichi’s 2 yr old birthday and that’s why I have not given my consent to the filming. What do you think yuki?”

“ um.. are you keen to attend this show? *shige nod his head* then I think that shuichi birthday celebration will have to be postponed.” After hearing yuki’s word, shige looked endearingly at his wife.

The couple went back to the sofa where young shuichi was sleeping soundly. Shige carried him to his bedroom and tucked him to bed. Yuki stood by the door and switched off the light.
