Why can't you...
...just walk along your own path?
I was under your care.
I don't want to go home.
You really want to be with me, right?
I'm just hopeless.
I will be the place where you belong.
Ah. Kono.
I shouldn't.
What am I so impatient about?
Once we get to Paris...
...we'll be together forever.
Yeah.
Ala?
'Morning.
Ah...
Good morning.
What's the matter?
Ah, right? I wonder what is the matter with me?
I'm sure I should feel relieved.
Yeah.
I should.
Don't worry.
We'll be together forever.
Takahara-san.
Aren't we seeing each other with the premise that we'll get married?
Because we'll be happy.

Heiwa Fansubs Presents: "Kekkon Shinai" - "Unmarried"
Episode 10: "A Woman's Life, The Final Choice"
Sorry. Did I wake you up?
Good morning.
I was going to buy some breakfast. Would convenience store food be okay?
Ah, yes.
Thank you.
I'll just be a minute.
So long, I'm going.
Yes.
Flowers?
So pretty.
"To Kudo I want to see what kind of flowers bloom from these. Tanaka Chiharu"
- Here. - Thank you very much.
So long; I'll see you at work.
Yes. At work.
Chiharu?
Ah. Mo... Mom.
What's going on?
Good morning.
Sorry about this, so early in the morning.
Chiharu-san and I both work for the same company. I am Takahara.
Ah... Hello.
Chiharu-san and I have a good relationship and are going out together.
Eh?
Takahara-san?!
I apologize I had to make my greetings to you in this fashion.
I will come by once again and formally introduce myself.
Ah... Thank you for your courtesy.
Well then, excuse me.
So long.
Yes.
What's this about?
Ah. Yes. Ah. Let's see...
Congrats, Sis.
That's not... I'm not sure yet, I told you.
But, you're going out together with the intention of getting married, aren't you?
I suppose.
Eh... Then you should be congratulated. Right?
Well... I guess. Yeah...
See!
Ah, and then. Though I don't know for how long...
...but would it be okay if I came back here for a while?
Eh? Return home?
Haruko-san has also just started working on her garden designs again.
So she's likely to be very busy.
That's true.
I guess Chiharu wants to leave from this house a bride as well.
Say, say. Let me help with your wedding. To repay you for what you did for mine.
It's still too early for that, I said.
So shy.
Ah. I'll have him make the bouquet. I'm sure he'll make a wonderful one.
It's still too early for that.
Just another minute.
Ah, yes.
- Senpai. - Huh?
Should I send this off, too?
Eh?
I'm sending off my work today, too.
If you'd like, I could send that off with it.
Ah.
Yeah.
Then...
...I'll wrap it up.
Ah.
Good morning.
- Good morning! - Good morning!
'Morning.
Chiharu-san.
What's the matter?
Ah, um... Chiharu-san.
How can I put this...
The Manager told all of us about it yesterday.
That they wouldn't be renewing Chiharu-san's contract.
I see.
You heard.
Um... The company will be okay even if Chiharu-san leaves.
Ah, no, that's wrong.
Ah, that's right.
Since it's Chiharu-san, you can just take the path of retiring for marriage...
No, what am I saying?
Oh no. What's the matter? This isn't like you, Mariko-chan.
But...
Because it's not your fault, after all.
Look. It's almost time to open the store.
I'll sweep out front.
'Morning.
Good morning.
Um...
Would you have time tomorrow night?
Ah, tomorrow?
Yes. That would be fine.
Thank goodness.
Then, keep that free.
Yes.
Sorry.
"Part-time Job Wanted!"
Ah...
He really is going already.
It'll be lonely, won't it?
Yeah.
Ah, isn't the farewell party tomorrow? It's a regular holiday.
Well... You don't have to do that. It's wrong since all of you will be busy.
Don't say that; we have to do it.
Because I'll be finished with my college classes tomorrow evening.
That's right. That matches up with Kudo-kun's plans.
Then, thank you very much.
All right.
Ah, at the Manager's home again would be good.
Along with Chiharu-san, we'll all make a happy fuss together.
Chiharu is...
Is something the matter with Chiharu-san?
Ah. Well, um... Look.
Since she's with a travel agency, the end of the year is a busy season for her.
So, um... She's not at my house.
She's not there?
Then, where did she go?
Her parent's home, I guess.
Ah, shall I help with that?
- Thank you. - Ala?
Ah... It's on the second floor. Sorry.
Those Cymbidium are beautiful. (Cymbidium - a type of orchid)
It's because they are beautiful that I laid in some stock of them.
What are Cymbidium in flower language?
Ah.
With an honest heart.
Honest, huh?
Recently a friend of mine has been telling me I should be more honest.
Why?
She said I should honestly tell my feelings to the person I like.
I see.
Then, this is my parting gift to you.
Good luck.
Thank you very much.
Tanaka-san. You have a guest.
Yes.
Mai-chan!
Good afternoon.
I wanted to stop by on my way home from my part-time job.
I see. What's up?
Um... Would you be busy tomorrow night, Chiharu-san?
Ah...
...a little.
I thought so.
Since you are so busy, that's why you've returned to your parent's home again, right?
Eh?
That's what the Manager told me.
Ah.
Yeah. Yes. That's right.
We're having Junpei-san's farewell party tomorrow.
It's in this evening at the Manager's home.
It may be hopeless, but I came over in order to invite you to it.
Farewell party?
Since he's going to Paris, none of us knows when we might ever meet again.
So we wanted to give him a fun party before then.
Yeah. You should.
We'll be lonely, once Junpei-san has gone.
Yeah.
Still...
...it's really a happy thing.
A happy thing?
Yeah.
Junpei-kun is advancing one step forward as well.
One step.
It may be far away, but he'll be doing his best there.
That's what I think, so I have do my best, too.
Those are the feelings we should have, right?
That's true.
Still, I do want Chiharu-san to come to the farewell party.
You should go to the farewell party.
I can shift things around.
Well, but...
It's best to go to a friend's farewell party, right?
Yes! Thank you very much.
Then, I'll be coming.
I'm looking forward to it.
Ah, sorry for doing this in the middle of your work.
You've had these subjective symptoms before, haven't you?
Yes. Um... Since I have to stand at work, I thought it was anemia.
These uterine fibroids are quite large. (noncancerous tumors that develop in the womb)
Uterine fibroids.
I think you will need surgery.
Ah...
Depending upon the size of the fibroids...
...I can't deny that there's a possibility a total removal of the uterus will be needed.
Kirishima-san.
Why did you endure this condition until it had gotten like this?
Do you have any family members or partners who can come in to discuss this in the future?
"Mom Make a call"
"Mom"
"I can't answer the phone right now."
"After the beep, please leave your name..."
"Medical Certificate"
"Disease: Uterine Fibroids"
My partner, huh...
"With an honest heart"
Here he comes, Mai. Good luck.
What is it, Mai-chan? You wanted to talk.
- What is it, what is it? - Geez. They don't need you.
- Come. - Wait, wait...
Mai. Good luck. Never mind, you. You're in their way.
What's up?
Um...
I...
...feel...
...I love you, Yamada-kun.
"[Incoming Call] Sawai Hideo Art Gallery"
Yes?
We haven't spoken in a while. This is Sawai.
I was surprised.
It seems you're going to Paris with her, huh?
Yes.
I thought for sure Mizuki would be going alone.
I felt I should give painting another go again.
Do you feel...
...that by going over there, you will succeed?
I can't say anymore.
Truth is...
...that woman told me this.
That woman?
The woman who came with you in the middle of the night to get that painting.
She came to apologize after that.
She said she was sorry for making a scene.
Is that right?
That was when she told me this.
That because a person's potential is infinite...
...to brand them as not having talent is strange.
When a person who doesn't understand what a painting is trying to say just laughs it off...
...that's just harassing them.
Even if they aren't shining now...
Then tomorrow more so than today...
...and 10 years from now more so than tomorrow...
...with effort and passion...
...there's a possibility they can open up their talent.
Well...
...I couldn't argue with her about that.
Before you went to Paris...
...I thought I would...
...say this one thing to you.
You are an excellent painter already.
Because you have such a good fan.
It's open!
- Sorry for the intrusion. - Come in.
Sorry for the intrusion.
I brought flowers.
Whaa, thank you. Come in, come in.
Well then, to celebrate Kudo-kun's future.
- Kanpai. - Kanpai!
Thank you very much.
Though I think you'll understand why, I'm sorry for only having ready-made things.
No, not at all.
Thank you very much.
Looks delicious. Itadakimasu.
- Go ahead. - Itadakimasu.
Ah. I guess Chiharu-san couldn't make it.
- Chiharu-san? - You invited her?
Yes. It was no good at first.
Then it seemed she would come.
- Really?! - Really?!
Ah. Both of you seem happy about that.
Ah, no...
Not really.
It would be nice if Chiharu-san comes.
Please give me your information if I do come over to visit you.
Yeah, of course.
Ah, but Junpei-san, you hadn't said that Mizuki-san is your girlfriend.
I can only speak about up until now...
...but truth is, I thought the best one for you was Chiharu-san.
Eh?
Look. When we came here before, I felt you two were an amazing match.
Right, Manager?
Huh?
Ah, right?
No, that's not true.
Ah, Manager, please come to Paris, too.
Take a trip there together with Chiharu-san like a pair of good sisters. I'll be waiting.
Thank you.
Ah, Junpei-san.
Since I'll do the washing up, please have a rest.
That's okay. I'll do it.
Move aside. I'll wash them...
What's the matter?
Ah, sorry. Looks like I had a little too much to drink.
See. Please leave this to me.
Ah, thank you.
Then I'll go outside and take in some air.
Are you okay?
Ah, sorry. I'm fine, I'm fine.
Here you go.
Thank you.
And have this, too.
Thanks.
I guess Chiharu-san won't be coming, will she?
As I expected, it seems she doesn't want to see me.
Eh?
Truth is...
...Chiharu and I had a fight...
...and so she left.
But, why were you fighting?
If she's here forever...
...then that girl can't find her own path, now can she?
Even so, I'm ashamed, too.
Eh?
While she was here...
...I sometimes felt she was annoying.
But when she was gone, you felt lonely without her.
Strange, isn't it?
When she was around, I was often irritated by her.
So isn't it that?
That because you've come to know someone...
...don't you come to know loneliness, as well?
Maybe so.
A brazen meddler...
...she rudely stomped her way into my world of being alone that I loved.
Putting her own issues up on the shelf, she only worries about other people.
Plunging into anything, in the end, she'd just get hurt.
She really is annoying.
Still...
...she's honest in all respects.
Yes.
Thanks to her...
...she truly did save me.
Me, too.
In the end, Chiharu-san didn't come, did she?
I guess she was just too busy, wasn't she?
That's true.
One step.
Eh?
Ah.
That's what Chiharu-san said to me.
That you had taken that one step and were moving forward.
That's why, even though you'll be far away...
...she felt you would be doing your best somewhere...
...and so Chiharu-san would do her best, too.
I've taken a step forward, too.
Thanks to you, Junpei-san.
Thanks to me?
I was able...
...to confess to the person I like.
Didn't you tell me?
"With an honest heart."
Then, I'll go from here.
Be careful.
Thank you for today.
With an honest heart, huh?
Oh! What a nice view.
Yokohama has lots of great date spots, doesn't it?
It does.
Um...
...I have something to tell you.
To tell me?
Huh?
Takahara-san?
Remember when I said that this isn't...
...a halfway feeling?
Ah...
...yes.
Please marry me.
Well, but, um...
I'm 35 years old.
I know. What about it?
So I think...
...I may not meet your conditions for getting married in a variety of ways.
The only condition I have is that I care about the person.
But, there's... Children, and...
There might be a lot of difficulties with that.
What are you talking about?
With advances in medicine these days, even people in their 50's are giving birth.
Besides, I won't mind even if we can't have children.
The two of us will be a family.
Well, but...
I'm about to be unemployed...
...and what I want for my life's work is still unclear.
It's fine if you start looking for what you really want to do from here.
Until then, I'll support you.
You're important to me.
That's why...
...I want to marry you.
You may think this is sudden...
...but I feel this is the timing for getting married.
I want you to seriously consider this.
"Tanaka Chiharu"
"[Incoming Call] Kono Mizuki"
Hello?
Eh?
The departure day?
Sorry for calling you so suddenly.
No.
But if you wanted a business meeting, it would have been fine at the store.
No...
Doing this at the store would be...
Now that my mother has died as well, I'm alone.
You must be lonely.
Yes.
I was fine with being alone before then.
But truth is, it became like this for me when my mother was admitted to the home.
I became so lonely, I wondered what I should do about it.
I understand.
Given my age you might laugh at this...
...but it's precisely because I am this age...
...that I feel I want to have a relationship and live with someone.
That's true.
Could we spend...
...the rest of our lives together?
I wouldn't be any good for you?
Thank you very much.
Well then...
While I am...
...extremely happy about your feelings for me...
...I don't have...
...the confidence for that.
I am very sorry.
Ah, no.
Ala, welcome back. What are you doing?
Ah.
I just wanted to drink coffee somehow.
Ala? Chiharu, do you drink coffee?
Huh?
It's become a favorite of mine recently.
Hmm...
It's not a problem if you don't have any. Yeah.
Yes?
I found some coffee. Just instant, though.
You went out of your way. I'm happy.
"For you! - From Chinatsu I want a heart-warming wedding!"
Ala, my. That girl.
She said she would repay me.
- Itadakimasu. - Yeah.
Just who is this Takahara-san?
My boss at the company...
He's the one who's given me huge challenges.
We share the same work and hobby interests together...
...and our stories match.
Then, do you love this man?
Oh no. I haven't decided if I love him.
So don't go assuming that since we're going out together that we'll get married.
Truth is, I have a little regret about you.
Regret?
Yeah.
Up until now, I've normally gone on saying it would be best if you got married, haven't I?
But that may have just been backing you into a corner, Chiharu.
That's not true.
Say, Chiharu.
Marriage isn't a goal.
Eh?
Marriage...
...is just a point you pass through.
After that, it goes on every day from there on.
That's why...
...I now feel you should want to be together with the someone...
...you can accumulate the always-unchanging days with.
Mom...
Have you tried discussing this with Haruko-san?
She's the one who knows you best, isn't she?
Junpei-san. Today's your final day as a part-timer, isn't it?
Yeah.
Have you made the preparations already?
Somehow or other, I finished up all the packing this morning.
Eh?
Your departure isn't until next week, isn't it?
Ah. It got moved forward suddenly.
After I've finished work here tonight, I'll take the bus to the airport at 9.
The agent over there is saying he'd like to meet me before the Christmas holidays.
Since I don't want this chance to slip by, I hurriedly changed plans.
I see.
You'll be going today.
Yeah.
You've already gotten the stock of Cymbidiums in, haven't you?
I'll write up the card.
Thank you.
He really is going today, isn't he?
Right?
"Cymbidium Flower Language "With an honest heart"
Thank you very much.
Tanaka-san.
- Yes? - Here.
I received this from a customer, but could you put it up for display?
Yes. I understand.
Ah, Tanaka-san.
Are you free this evening?
I wanted to hear your answer to the other day.
Yes.
I'll be waiting at 9pm.
I was under your care.
So long.
Junpei-san, take care.
Thank you.
Um...
With Chiharu...
Have you met with Chiharu?
No.
That's okay.
Please just pass this on to Chiharu-san.
To Chiharu?
It'd be best if you were reconciled with her, wouldn't it?
So long.
"Kirishima Haruko"
Hello?
Kudo-kun is going to Paris.
I know that.
Next week, right?
You're wrong.
He departs today.
Eh?!
He said he had a sudden change of plans.
I said it was okay already.
There's nothing more between Junpei-kun and I.
He has nothing to do with me.
Chiharu!
Please leave me alone already.
I'm sorry.
However angry you may be with me, that's fine.
But...
...the one thing you should not do is betray you own feelings.
It seems that to Kudo-kun...
...there is no one...
...more important to him than you, Chiharu.
Wha... What are you talking about?
That's not...
I have a drawing that Kudo-kun did of you, Chiharu.
You have an incredibly happy smile in it.
"Thank you very much. Junpei"
Chiharu.
Make your choice.
It's for your future, too.
The person you'll share your life and walk through it with.
This is your future...
...so don't regret it.
Haruko-san...
Geez!
Be honest with yourself, Chiharu!
That's your distinctive characteristic, isn't it?
The brazen meddler who is a bother to the end.
But...
...no matter what, the one who was always honest...
...was you, Chiharu.
If you don't move now...
...this time I won't forgive you for the rest of my life.
Very well.
Good luck.
It hurts...
