About forty minutes later, Satomi and Chiyo stood in front of Karasawa Makoto's house and rang the doorbell.
Satomi knew that it would be Karasawa Makoto himself who would open the door later. Because she is the only one living in this villa now.
After Gu Xing disappeared, Karasawa Makoto could never let go of her feelings for him, and of course she had no intention of finding another wife.
As for the servants, Karasawa Makoto gave them a sum of money and sent them away. She no longer has the mental energy to deal with these outsiders.
Karasawa Makoto will probably die alone.
Satomi and Chiyo are destined to have the same life ending as Karasawa Makoto.
Because Chiyo could never forget her lover Ryuichi who died for her decades ago, she never had any emotional entanglements with any man in her life.
Why has Rimi never gotten married? She didn't tell anyone the reason.
In fact, it is quite good to be alone until old age.
Many women in this country will actively choose to die alone.
When they were young, they served their husbands diligently, worked hard, took over all the housework, and endured each other's bad temper, arrogance, and laziness. When the other party retired and could no longer earn high wages, they filed for divorce without hesitation and received a sum of money. , and then live a free life.
Some women even hope every day that their husbands will die unexpectedly in car accidents, natural disasters, etc. In this way, they will not only gain freedom, but also get a large amount of money to support the rest of their lives.
Compared with the above women, Satomi felt that the loneliness of Chiyo, Karasawa Makoto and herself was actually a kind of unsociable happiness.
After a while, the screen at the door came on, and Karasawa Makoto's old and tired voice came from the microphone,
"It's Satomi and Chiyo, why are you two here?"
"nothing,"
Satomi replied: "It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you a little."
"Oh, I have nothing to think about."
Karasawa Makoto said this, but she still pressed the door button from inside the villa, and her voice continued to come from the receiver,
"I'm in the bedroom, feeling a little unwell, so I won't come out to greet you two."
Satomi and Chiyo walked into the villa.
The once magnificent villa is now bleak. The ground and furniture are covered with dust. Spider webs hang in the corners. Some of the floors are cracked, echoing the spider webs.
As they walked in the living room, they stepped on clear footprints, feeling like they were walking in an abandoned house that had been uninhabited for decades.
Satomi was surprised in her heart. She couldn't imagine that the national actress and great director who used to like to be clean and dress up beautifully would now be living in such a shabby house.
After Gu Xing disappeared, the extremely sad Karasawa Makoto could no longer live on the third floor of Kaidan Bookstore.
When she looked at every corner, every piece of furniture, every little object in the room, and smelled Gu Xing's faint scent, she felt heartbroken and suffocated, so she insisted on moving back to the villa in Shifeng Valley.
Satomi and Chiyo tried to persuade her but failed for a long time.
After Makoto Karasawa moved back to the villa, they called many times to come and visit, but Makoto Karasawa refused. So this time, they simply came uninvited, but what they didn't expect to see was this pitiful scene.
"My dear Sister Karasawa," Chiyo murmured in a low voice, "How did you end up like this?"
The two of them walked all the way to Karasawa Makoto's bedroom.
Satomi stood in front of the bedroom door and suddenly couldn't bear to open the door.
Because, through the thick door panel, there was a strong and pungent "old man smell" coming from inside.
