"Because it was too late to pretend because mom already knew that I saw the baby robe, she did not hesitate anymore and told me that I had a name when I was brought to Hope.

I was right. Fear and worry pushed her to keep the truth from me. She was afraid and worried that if my real name was revealed to me, I might use that to find my real parents.

But that was not true. I never thought nor hoped to know even a single thing about my real identity. That never crossed my mind because I was already happy and content to be with them. I couldn't ask for more.

    "You could not let me go because of my sketch that kept puzzling you. If you hadn't found that in my pocket, you wouldn't have demanded me to stay in your place. We could have parted ways after I got discharged from the hospital. But that never happened because of my sketch.Living under the same roof had caused us pain. You hurt me, unintentionally.

I had never imagined that I would end up sharing a lovely moment with you. That was a beautiful memory my heart has cherished for so many years now.Everything was like a lovely painting. And that's because of you. The dazzling stars were like joyful tears, glowing in the night sky. The gentle wind with the swaying leaves was like a warm embrace, calming in gloom. The golden lights from the lamp posts were beautiful tranquility.Sharing that intimate moment with you, in that painting-like beauty, I felt that I was taken to a different world where no one existed but only the two of us, just you and me.With your affectionate gaze, with your gentle touch, with your tender kisses and with your consoling existence, I could no longer deceive myself.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable with my insane thoughts about us.Fixed on your intent look at me, you were sinking in your lost mind and asked me what had happened.At first, I hesitated to tell you because what had happened to you might humiliate and trouble you, especially that I was the one who saw you in your agitated state.

And what I had in mind was because of that kiss.You might have kissed me while you were completely lost but how you looked troubled asking me what had happened could tell an obvious truth.
