Episode 41
I didn't know you could drink!
I was too busy working to drink before.
Let's drink every night.
No if I drink I'll end up telling stories again.
Why not?
I'm impressed that you had such experiences.
I don't really want to remember it all.
I fell for a man I hardly knew.
It happens to us all and it could be the real thing!
It's pure youthful love.
He seemed so grand.
He was risking his life to better
the lot of the sharecropper farmers.
As the kids today say I was turned on!
I couldn't believe that there could be such a wonderful man.
I was head over heels in love!
You regret it?
No I was seriously in love.
It was my first time loving a man.
He was my one and only.
Oshin?
What's wrong with you?
You've been daydreaming. It's so unlike you.
Never mind just hurry and finish cleaning!
Welcome home.
Come to my room.
I hear that you've been up to Mr. Yasuda's room alone.
He left town so I asked the innkeeper.
She told me that you'd been up to see him.
Why didn't you tell me?
I asked her for a description of this woman and it was you.
I just did some favors for him that's all.
He told me not to tell anyone about it.
That's why I couldn't tell you.
What did he ask you to do?
I'm sorry I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.
You can't even tell me about it?
I guess you know a lot about him then.
No I just ran an errand for him.
Where did he go?
Why would I know?
He didn't tell me anything important.
I thought you were my ally?
I really don't know.
You can't tell me what you two talked about?
He asked me to take receipt of a money order from his family.
He didn't even want his parents to know where he was staying.
That's all.
I see.
Why didn't he just ask me for help?
He didn't want you to get in trouble.
I guess he was just being considerate.
Will I ever see him again?
No I'm sure he'll contact me. He knows how I feel about him.
Next time he contacts you for a favor let me know.
Make sure you tell me about it.
Mail!
Here's today's mail.
It's not often that you get mail. There's no sender or return address.
I'm sure he forgot.
You know who sent the letter?
A relative. An uncle of mine.
May I close this account?
Yes.
Isn't it a nice day?
Mr. Sakuragi it's good to see you.
I was attending a meeting near here.
I've brought you a small gift.
Thank you for being so considerate.
Oshin seems to be working as hard as ever.
I'll make some tea.
Take some tea out to our guest.
I hope all is well with you.
I'm visiting villages around the Mogami River now.
I'm trying to talk to the young farmers before they're too busy with planting.
I'll be coming to Sakata in about 10 days.
I would be happy if you'd see me then.
I'll be waiting for you at 3:00 p.m. on April 12th.
At the sand dunes where we met before.
If I don't see you there I'll just be on my way.
Please don't feel that you have to come.
Take good care of yourself.
I'll write again. - Kota
Just do the preparations and I'll do the rest when I get back.
- Okay. - We'll do that.
Tell the madam I went shopping.
I'll do that.
Oshin had tried to talk herself out of going to see Kota.
But when the time came
she went to the appointed place as if drawn there by a thread of fate.
I'm glad you came.
Thank you for your letter.
I'd planned on forgetting you if you didn't show up.
I know I can't have a family as long
as I'm in this farm reform movement.
But you're the only one who understands me.
Being with you makes me feel less lonely.
I'd longed for a person with warmth.
I knew that person was you when we first met.
I'm not one to be put on a pedestal.
At our house there was a maid from Yamagata.
You remind me of her.
But my mother sent her away when she learned that I had feelings for her.
She went home and died of tuberculosis.
It was she who got me started in my farm reform movement.
I went to see her at her house
and I saw the poverty in which she lived.
I'd like to see you whenever I'm in Sakata.
We can just talk.
You can give me strength to fight the loneliness.
One day I'll come for you and we can be together.
Just thinking that I can conquer anything.
That's the kind of person you are.
You're going away for a long time?
Yes but I'll be back.
And I'll take you away from all this.
But you have your own life. I won't tie you down.
I haven't the right.
I just wanted to tell you how I felt.
I don't want to lose you.
I want you to give me a dream.
A dream that you are waiting for me.
I don't deserve your love for me.
I'll come back for you.
And I'll take you away from this town.
Welcome home.
I'm glad you're home.
Everybody was asking where you were.
Your mother's here.
She is?
Go and see her.
Thanks.
I'm sorry. I was out shopping.
The madam here was worried about you.
She works hard. She deserves some time of her own.
Don't be so ungrateful!
What brings you out here? Has something happened?
I sent for her.
We got a letter about your engagement.
That's why I rushed over.
Such a fine offer! I can't believe it.
Your mother's very happy for you.
You sure are a lucky girl!
After coming back from meeting Kota
all this was chilling news to Oshin.
The marriage offer had gone this far.
Oshin felt herself going pale.
