Hana's Miso Soup (はなちゃんのみそ汁)

In a person's life The sound of the bell rings three times.

The first was when we were born.

Next, when we die.

And next on the day of the wedding.

Marriage is an important event in their lives. As well as the birth or death.

But on this day We came very late.

To be honest, it is the fault of this stupid man.

My husband is this stupid man His full name is Yasutake Shingo.

Now we have to leave home. But he was still watching TV.

It became this.

Then this happened ...

Uh oh, I forgot the ring

I am so gonna choke him.

Yasutake Shingo is a journalist.

Are You going to wear that?

He is also a mean guy.

Finally.

This time I am going to speak fluent English.

Yes!

He is the kind who buys but only to put it away.

Still, I choose him.

I even break up with my previous boyfriend. I've had a crush on that guy, even though we are far apart.

But in the end I chose this guy.

I first met Chie in 1998.

I was 34 years old she is 23.

That time, I was stationed outside the office.

One year and four months later, Chie's, which at that time. a graduate student from a vocal academy

has come to the office where I worked.

Excuse me.

Yes...

I have come for the interview You asked

about the concert From the choir group.

You're the one who called?

Yes.

Alright...

Have a drink.

Please write your name, address, contact number on the form.

Ok.

Since I was a representative from the college, Should I write their address instead?

No need.

Just put Yours.

Your address is good enough.

Ok.

With a smart plan from me, I was able to get Chie's address.

Then I drove her back by telling her that I'm also heading the same way to her college.

Inside my head that time, it was filled with thoughts of Chie

I began launching my attacks on her next.

Congratulations on the new job.

If we get married, We're going to have a son and a daughter, right?

If we were married...

From there, our relationship starts.

One day, as I touched her body while we were...

I can feel something here.

What is it?

I found some lumps in her breast.

It's malignant

I have to cut off my entire left breast.

Sorry...

And then the woman I love became a cancer patient.

Hana-chan's Miso Soup.

Shiho, I'm already here.

Ok.

She refused to do it just before the surgery.

Doesn't matter what her parent and her sister said, she did not want to listen.

Why this happened suddenly?

She saw a woman in the bathroom getting bald after chemotherapy.

- Just where have You been? - I was in a wrong room.

Hello.

Chie, Shingo has came.

- Can we both talk privately? - Yes.

Why we are the one who have to go out?

Let them talk. They need some privacy

I thought You were crying

I am not.

When You get discharged, let's go to Canada.

If You want, we can go see the Rocky Mountains there.

From there, we can see everything become tiny.

But before that, we have to get married first

I will pray that the doctors won't do any mistake!

She has waked up.

Sorry.

Dad, Chie is calling for You.

Dad,

Can You rub Your cheeck against mine?

What are You thinking Chie.

Stop being childish.

From here, I'll let the surgeon to explain the treatment plan.

Thank You.

This kind of cancer is the most serious type of cancer It can recurr back again.

Because of this reason, most doctors would recommend for chemotherapy.

But the side effects from these chemotherapy can be very serious.

Her ovaries will stop working.

There are several cases, which the patient stops from having menstruation.

That means You can not have children in the future

I have a request...

Please let me marry Chie!

I'm sorry.

It's okay

I'm really sorry.

It's okay

I have some tissue.

Nevermind.

Don't worry.

Ok.

Please sit down.

Chie...

in her state

cannot have children

I don't care.

Her sister Shiho is one year older than her.

Chie went to a boarding school since she was little.

Going alone Leaving his sister as well.

She later graduated and get employed.

In the end.. it's time for her to walk on her own path again.

Chie's future

nobody can predict it.

The illness can take everything away from her

I have suffered from a connective tissue disorder.

Illness, it destroys hope

I know it too well.

Do you still really want to marry Chie?

Yes.

Really?

With Chie?

I will marry her

I'm serious.

Thank you very much.

Me too, thank you very much!

Chemotherapy is a lot worst than I thought

I felt sick all the time

I have to survive.

No more. I'd rather die

I will not give up

I don't want anymore

I will live, live and keep on living

I was in a real mess.

What? Come again?

You've got to be kidding me.

What do You mean she cannot have children?

Actually

it is because of the treatment that made her menstruation stops

you ...

That's not what I asked.

Why do You want to marry a woman who cannot have a child?

Go say something to Your son.

You ...

Remember when You broke up with Your last girlfriend?

Because she said she does not want to have any children.

She said she wanted to study first She even used Your money for that.

After she graduated, she began to work.

She still says she doesn't want to have children

I was the one who told her to chase her dream.

- It's not my fault we broke up. - No.

It is becuase she said she doesn't want to have children.

Haven't You forgotten?

I don't know what to do

I love Chie.

If that's the case, I'll never have any grandchildren

I beg You I want You guys to meet her parents.

She is all I have.

She is all I have

I beg You.

Oi.

She must have been a very nice person right.

Chie.

Yes?

Congratulations on completing Your first stage of chemotherapy.

Thank you very much.

- We have something for you. - Yes?

- Come in. - I'm coming in.

This is for You.

What is this?

It is a cap made from towel.

We give it as a gift to every patients that went for the treatment.

There are a lot of things happened

but finally, I could hear the bells ringing on my wedding

Why shouldn't it?
