English - I Wanna Cross into Your Time (Complete)

Part 8 - The Secret Garden

Two of them walk side by side leaving that place together in silence. They arrived at the Pub building where Krist and Pim visited last night which is closed at this time.

"Why you come to Pub? Do want to drink? Aren't they still closed at this time?"

"Aw, so it becomes Pub in your time?"

"What do you mean?"

"This is the music gallery."

"Really? Since when it turned to a Pub?" Krist is curious. "So why do we need to come to the gallery?"

"Didn't you say want to get to know me? I work here..."

"What? You're the musician?" Krist surprised.

"I'm not, I'm just a clerk. My job is to fix the broken piano, or to set up the musical instrument for the musician to be used in their performance."

"But, you're good at playing the piano..."

"Because my father taught me to play it since I was 3 years old, that grand piano belonged to him."

"You're father a musician?"

"He was a famous pianist in the '60s, but later he left us to pursue his dreams. I don't know if he is still alive or not, he never came back for a decade..."

"I see..." Krist suddenly remembers something we found this morning in the closet room. "Do you also compose a song?"

"Song? No, I never try to write a song, I'm not good at making beautiful words."

"I could understand that.." Krist nod his head and chuckled. "So, what's your business here?"

"I will ask for a day off for today, wait for me here.." Singto then enter the building while leaving Krist waiting alone outside.

'So, who's carved them in the wall? Could it be his dad?' He tries to remember where's the first time exactly he learned those lyrics.

After a while, Singto came out and take Krist to his secret place. They arrived at a small greenhouse near the factory.

The place seems been abandoned for more than decades, half of the glass wall and the path have been covered by creeping plants. The glass door also had broken. The potted plants have also been dead and replaced by wild plants and weeds all over the place. It's really a scary place in Krist's view.

Meanwhile, in Singto's view, the greenhouse was like a little garden, filled with various kinds of wildflowers and plants arranged in an orderly inside the pot. The glass was clear enough to let the sunlight give natural lighting to the interior.

"Welcome to my secret garden, we can freely talk here..."

"Seriously?" Krist asked in disbelief looking at the building in front of him.

"Yes, I take care of some of the plants and flowers inside. Let's take a look, I'll show you."

Krist is freezing in his spot, he seems don't want to bother to step into that scary place.

"What?" Singto asked in confusion.

"An abandoned greenhouse?"

"What do you say? Abandoned? How can that be possible?" Singto surprised. "Show me!"

"You better not look at its condition now, cause it gonna break your heart..."

"What do you mean?"

Krist change his mind immediately when saw Singto's sad expression. "Haha...I lied to you, this is not bad." Krist, tell a lie. "Alright, since you said it was your paradise, I'll gonna take a chance to explore it."
