00:00I'm Takaru, a 30-year-old crammed schoolteacher.

00:04On my way home after 11pm, I accidentally overslept on the train.

00:08Oh my god, I passed my station!

00:11As I freaked out, I saw a foreign woman near me who was acting strangely.

00:17She and I were the only ones on the train car.

00:21Hmm, what's wrong with her?

00:26I can't speak any English at all, but she looked like she was in trouble, so I decided

00:32to talk to her.

00:42She asked me a station name.

00:45No!

00:50She seems she can speak Japanese.

00:52I'll talk all in English from now on because it's complicated.

00:56Oh my god, I don't know how to get back.

01:00I have to go back too.

01:01Would you like to go with me?

01:03I'd appreciate that.

01:05I led her to the platform on the other side, and we got on the same train.

01:09I sat next to her until she got off.

01:12Thank you.

01:13Kanji is difficult.

01:14Thank you for your help.

01:17You're welcome.

01:18Your Japanese is good.

01:20Just passable.

01:22Soon after, we arrived at her station.

01:24Alright, it's getting late.

01:26Have a safe trip home.

01:28Thanks.

01:29Hey, here.

01:30It's my email address and phone number.

01:33I'd like to see you again.

01:35Let's meet up.

01:37Ah, okay.

01:40This is how Sasha and I met each other for the first time.

01:43I took the business card in and out of my bag many times until I got off the train.

01:49Her name is Sasha.

01:51I can't believe I got a phone number from a pretty woman like her.

01:55But I'm not used to women, so while I was worrying about other stuff, I couldn't find

01:59the right time to message, and then I got busy with work and forgot to contact her.

02:05Two weeks later, on a Sunday morning, I remembered.

02:08Oh, I forgot.

02:10She might have forgotten about me already.

02:13When I remembered, I wanted to see her badly, so I sent her a message and she replied a

02:18few minutes later.

02:19Good morning.

02:20I want to hear your voice.

02:22Please give me a call, right now.

02:25That was quick.

02:26When I called her, she scolded me from the first moment.

02:30You're late.

02:31I was waiting for you.

02:33I'm sorry.

02:34If you're off work, let's go have some fun.

02:38Huh?

02:39Sasha, who was very proactive, quickly made an appointment with me, and I felt good about

02:44it.

02:45I should have said this first.

02:47You still remember me, right?

02:49Of course.

02:50I remember you clearly.

02:53I remember you, too.

02:54Alright.

02:55If you're late, you snooze, you lose.

03:00You mean, you snooze, you lose.

03:03Snooze and sneeze sound pretty familiar.

03:07Sasha's incomplete Japanese was cute.

03:09When we arrived at the meeting place, we had lunch together and talked about many things.

03:14I found out her nationality, her full name, and that she was two years younger than me.

03:20How come you came to Japan?

03:22I lost my family in a civil war.

03:24I came to Japan to live with my aunt who was married to a Japanese man, but she was divorced

03:30and not in Japan.

03:31Now I live in an apartment owned by my aunt's ex-husband.

03:35She's all alone.

03:37I'm sorry you've had such a hard time.

03:40What do you do for a living?

03:41I have a translation job that I was offered, and occasionally a part-time job where I can

03:46use my language skills.

03:48I don't have any friends in Japan yet, but I thought I could give my number to you.

03:54Why is that?

03:55Just a hunch.

03:56While we were talking, it got dark, so we took a short walk around the neighborhood

04:01and parted ways.

04:03When we parted...

04:05If you need anything, you can always contact me.

04:07I'll help you however I can.

04:10Oh, thank you!

04:11Can I email you tonight?

04:13Sure!

04:14Yeah!

04:17Sasha was mischievous and cute.

04:21From that day on, we exchanged emails almost every day.

04:24We met up for dinner a few times, but then I got too busy to reply.

04:29I want to hear her voice.

04:31When I called her, Sasha felt the same way, so we started to call each other every day.

04:37Do you remember the day we met for the first time?

04:40Yeah, I remember that moment very well.

04:43We met three months ago today.

04:45It's our three-month anniversary!

04:48I didn't remember the date.

04:49If I had, I would have asked you out to dinner.

04:52How about next time?

04:53Let's go now!

04:54Now?

04:55It's 11pm at night!

04:56It's late, and I can't let you walk outside at night!

05:01I'll be waiting for you at the diner near my house!

05:05She's so pushy.

05:07She hung up the phone abruptly, so I was forced to go out reluctantly.

05:11I walked into the diner and saw her, dressed up more than usual.

05:15Sorry for the wait.

05:16I'm sorry I came in my regular clothes.

05:19That's fine.

05:21Hm?

05:22She looks sort of down.

05:23Did I do something?

05:25Well, you know, today is our anniversary.

05:29Yeah, it is.

05:31Takeru, I'd like to go out with you!

05:35Huh?

05:36At first, I just appreciated your kindness, but I'm in love with you now, so…

05:43I'd like to be with you from here on, too!

05:46Please go out with me, then!

05:48Oh, really?

05:50Really!

05:51Really?

05:52You like me, right?

05:55I do, but we're in Japan.

05:57We don't hug in front of people.

05:59The noisy couple at the diner late at night stood out.

06:03The next night, when I got off of work, Sasha was waiting for me at the station.

06:07What's up?

06:08It's pretty late.

06:09I came here to see you.

06:11I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night.

06:14Whoa, this is embarrassing.

06:17Thank you, but I feel bad because it's so late.

06:20But I had to do this to see you.

06:23Can I go to your place when I want to see you?

06:25Since then, she has started to visit my apartment frequently.

06:29Sorry, it's gross.

06:32It's not gross.

06:34It's just proof of how hard you tried to live.

06:37It's beautiful.

06:38The first night I spent with Sasha, I saw the scars from the injuries she got from the rubble,

06:44and I had a strong impression that she'd been through a hell of a lot.

06:48A year after we met, we started living together.

06:51Having spent her entire childhood in the church orphanage, living without a family,

06:56Sasha was starved for love, and she was always glued to me at home, never leaving.

07:01I love you.

07:03I love you too.

07:05From now on, I'll make her happy.

07:07Two years after we met, I decided it was time to man up,

07:11so I hatched a plan to propose to Sasha.

07:14Sasha, let's go on a trip in December.

07:17Oh, that's great. Where are we going?

07:20Your hometown.

07:22You're the best!

07:24I'm so relieved.

07:26It was only a suggestion, so I was prepared for her to say she didn't want to go,

07:31but Sasha's love for her homeland was strong.

07:34There's still half a month to go, but Sasha started preparing for the trip on my lap that night.

07:40If you keep that up now, you'll be tired before you even get there.

07:45When that happens, you'll just have to carry me.

07:48Oh, really? I'm going to need to train myself then.

07:52In one day in December, we arrived at Sasha's hometown.

07:56It's so cold!

07:58It's cold.

08:00The smell is nostalgic, too.

08:03Sasha pulled me along for sightseeing until the second day of our four-day, three-night trip,

08:09and then the fateful third day arrived.

08:12There's a place I want to go.

08:14Oh, where?

08:16It's a secret.

08:17I got on the train with Sasha without telling her where we're going.

08:21The view from the train was becoming more and more familiar because Sasha got quieter.

08:28Maybe she's mad.

08:30The silence was scary, but her hometown drew near.

08:34Sasha suddenly got excited.

08:36Oh, hey, look! That's the park I used to play at when I was little.

08:40Oh, where is it?

08:42Thank goodness she's not mad.

08:45Her hometown was a small town with a few remnants of the Civil War on the outskirts.

08:50It's been so long since I've been home.

08:52Is this where you wanted to come?

08:54That's kind of right.

08:56Where is the church where you grew up?

08:59Sasha led me to the church.

09:01There was a memorial right next to it.

09:03We both silently prayed there, to the names of Sasha's parents engraved on it.

09:08I'm Takaru. Nice to meet you.

09:11I'm going to propose to your daughter now.

09:13Please look after us.

09:15The place I wanted to come to is here, where your parents are.

09:19I wanted to talk to them about me and you.

09:21I told them that I have someone special too.

09:24There's one more thing I'd like to tell you in front of your parents.

09:28What is it?

09:30I want to be with you for the rest of my life.

09:33In times of joy, in times of sorrow, in times of health, in times of sickness, and forever.

09:40I swear in front of your parents that I will make you happy.

09:44Sasha, will you marry me?

09:46Yes, I will make you happy too.

09:48Let's do our best.

09:50Wow.

09:52I put the ring on her ring finger.

09:56We're going to get married.

09:58Hey, this is my husband.

10:00Hey now.

10:02I felt the greatest happiness as I watched her crying and expressing her joy in Japanese,

10:07even though there was no way anyone could understand it.

10:16Thank you for watching.

10:20See you next time.
