“New York is a pretty modern city, huh?” Tachibana (previously Matsuda) Saki threw the question as she walked down the street with her husband, admiring the night scene.

“Not much different from Tokyo though,” Tachibana added. Both of them were in New York City now. Tachibana got the chance to compete at US Open and just finished his semi finals match that afternoon and currently refreshing himself for the final match days after. “Have you finished your work?” he asked her.

She nodded lightly. “I sent them to Mishima-san when we were at the hotel.” Who knew the absurd Saki would work as freelancer in JAXA – Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency -. She has been interested in math and got the chance to work there after graduated from university. She was working full-time; until Tachibana asked her to marry him and she decided to give up the job. Tachibana didn’t request her though, but with his full schedule as a professional tennis player, travelling around the world, she made a decision to accompany him directly, being on his side.

“Well, I congratulate you on your marriage. But I can’t let you go easily. You’re the best asset we have and I don’t know if I could find replacement as good as you,” that was her superior’s words when she handed her resignation letter. “How about you become our freelance worker instead? We will send you the work and you can do it anywhere.”

That was how her life as JAXA’s freelancer began.

“My wife works hard, eh?” Tachibana smiled and patted her head.

“It means her husband has to work hard too, right?” She beamed a radiant smile towards him.

He took her hand and intertwining their fingers. In a quick movement, he leaned down and stole a kiss from her lips.

“Hmm, I think he should work hard too. So his wife would be proud of him.” He giggled when he saw the woman beside him pouted.

Saki kicked Tachibana’s leg. “You’re quite bold now, huh?”

Tachibana’s laugh getting louder and he release their hands, moving it to her waist instead, brought her closer to him and whispered to her ears, “When in New York, do as New Yorker do.”
