Kids' Garden 2

-"E-Eh ??"

I was so surprised both by his words and the way he said them. So I cut eye contact and drank my hot drink nervously.

My heart was pounding.

What am I supposed to say?

Actually, going to meet someone does not necessarily mean I have something to tell them.......... except that it was the case here right now ..

The thought hit me at that exact moment: there were so many things I wanted to know about, so many misunderstanding to clarify..

So many things happened and I couldn't reach out to him. Maybe we could have cut all contact in the middle of all the misunderstanding, but right now, life is offering me a golden chance to clear it up.

A chance in a lifetime.

He was still gazing at me. His face looked quite peaceful, it gave me some courage to say all what I had in mind.

-"I'm sorry ..."

The sentence sounded more like a whisper. But it was so calm in that dark chilly garden that he could hear it.

He didn't say anything, but his expression –although cold- was seeking some kind of clarification.

I looked at his eyes before adding:

-"I mean .. thank you, for everything. But it's .." I sighed " Well, I-"

My thoughts were shambling in my head. It was difficult to say many things at the same time.

He kept being silent. Waiting for me to say something understandable.

I truly appreciated his patience.

-"I'm sorry I asked you for the tickets. I mean, I already owed you two big favors, to which I am very grateful, but rather than paying you back or at least expressing my gratitude, I asked you for a bigger favor. But, believe me, it was not my idea. Everyone in my college knew about the signed album, because of my friend's big mouth. So they simply wouldn't let me go. Somehow, everyone turned out to be a fan of No Name and they all wanted to know how did I get the signed album.. Then they asked me to reserve the tickets for the upcoming concert!" I left my head and faced him again:" I'm not even a fan, believe me! I have never listened to any of their songs! I don't even know how the band's members look like. I wouldn't recognize any of them even if they get up close to me! So, I didn't want you to think that I'm approaching you for the purpose of getting free tickets or something like that!"

At that moment, his eyes softened a bit. It was as if he was relieved. It made me blush like a tomato. So I lowered my head before adding:

-" T-This is pretty much all what I wanted to tell you ...."

-"Is that so?" he said as he adjusted his position, leaning his back on the metallic bar.

My heart was pounding as if I was running in a race, but deep down I was relieved. I was so happy that Nameless listened to me, and somehow accepted my explanation.

Wait ................ I still don't know his name!

-"Actually.. there is something else I wanted to ask you ..."

-"What is it?"

-"What's your name?"

He coughed.

I think he almost chocked on his black tea.

-"What do you mean by that?" he asked, a bit surprised.
