osamu miya is your husband, you just haven’t been informed.
“last orders!” you said, cleaning up after the salary man who just left.
the last customers were a elderly couple who often came for dinner. living a few blocks away from the store allowed them to visit frequently, making them one of the common faces in onigiri miya.
you turned around and walked towards their table, asking for a final time if they wanted or needed anything before closing time.
“efficient as always mrs. miya”
“haha, thank you for your high praise, however i’m not a miya”
the woman looked surprised, as her husband calmly sips on the last bits of his green tea getting ready to leave.
“your not? i’m pretty sure the owner said you were his wife?”
this time you were the perplex one, looking down to your fingers to make sure you didn’t forget marrying your boyfriend.
raising your hand to show your empty ring finger, you felt another pair of hands wrap around the half raised arm, putting it back down by your sides. then you heard a voice from behind you.
“we just got married last month, so she’s still getting used to the new surname”
turning around you look at osamu, who was still holding your hands with a small mischievous smile on his face. you shoot him an inquisitive look, before returning your attention to the customers packing up to leave.
before you could correct his blatant lie, the woman chuckled. “fufufufu, you should’ve told me so earlier, enjoy being a newlywed while you can”
the woman shot you and your boyfriend a sweet smile, as her husband helps her put on her coat.
giving up on clearing up the misunderstanding, you escorted them to the exit.
before leaving the store the woman’s husband handed you some cash which you assumed to be a tip.
“consider it our wedding gift to you”
surprised by the reasoning, you tried to explain and clear up their misconception of your relationship with the owner.
“oh, we’re not actuall—“
“thank you so much for your blessings! we’ll see you next time!”
osamu cuts you off, grabbing your hand from behind again to wave the elderly couple off, wishing them a safe journey home with a wide grin on his face.
you glanced at your boyfriend, as he shamelessly walks back into the store. you followed him in, locking up after entering, shooting him another glance just to see him cleaning up his station like he didn’t just lie to get extra money.
“did you just propose to your employee at work? i’m pretty sure that’s an abuse of power mr. miya. wouldn’t want your business license getting suspended now would you?”
breaking your silence, you decided to question him on the events that transpired in the last 5 minutes.
“i don’t know what your talking about my dear?”
“you just lied to our regulars!”
you heard the grin in his voice as he replied.
“our? i’m pretty sure this place is called onigiri miya, so for them to be OUR regulars, you must be a miya”
“hmmmm, i don’t see a ring on my finger”
laughing at your response, he exercised his rights to remain silent. little did you know about the cake, bouquets, and engagement ring waiting for you at home, along with marriage filing documents he’d already signed.
-
a few months later, the regular elderly couple was back.
“mrs. miya, still as efficient as ever”
“thank you as always, i don’t deserved your high praise ma’am”
she chuckled in response “fufufu, i see you’ve gotten used to your new name.”
you flushed at her observation, not bothering to clear up the misunderstanding from before. as you sheepishly scratched your head flashing the glittering ring osamu proposed with.
“i guess so”
