Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Yang Liwei returned to the orphanage he resided in. It had been two years since he had been brought to the orphanage by its owner. He found him unconscious next to the dust bin in a hidden position with a fever.

At that time Yang Liwei was only a five or six years old boy who didn't utter a word for almost one whole year. He usually used to nod, shake, or point at things to answer the asked questions.

The owner as well as the workers of the orphanage were very kind who took care of all the kids living there extremely well. Even the kids staying there would be happy to spend time with them despite being left alone in this world to fend for themselves.

Yang Liwei possessed a gold necklace with the letters "YL" when the owner first found it. Therefore, he named him according to those initials assuming that his name must be starting from those initials. As Yang Liwei didn't utter a single word, they were unable to get any information from him regarding his name or family. And gradually they realized that he had forgotten all about his life after he woke up.

He was neither a cold person nor a warm person. It was not hard for them to take care of him. After all, receiving their constant care, he indeed started to talk and interact with others.

The next day, Yang Liwei reached the agreed destination and waited for Saki to come. And after a short while, she came with the same lady he saw the previous day who again gave them their own space and maintained the distance while keeping an eye on Saki.

" Good afternoon." Saki greeted excitedly. "I am so excited today, I don't even know how to play the violin." She said laughing.

"It's alright, I know. You just need to say if you like it or not." Yang Liwei assured her.

They both would goof around and play with each other while the sound of her laughter could be heard from time to time. After that meeting, they would meet regularly for hours. Yang Liwei would play the violin while Saki would tell stories and play.

After many days, he did prepare a tune, and it can be considered pretty good for a little boy. It was nothing legendary but they both liked it and Saki would often tell him to play it repeatedly. Yang Liwei had found comfort in her warmth and her "full-of-life" personality.

One day, while they both were sitting under the tree Saki said, "I can read palms and tell future of anyone. Let me read your future." After taking his palm she said, "Oh, you have a really good future. You are a very lucky guy who will always be like the sun and will lead a very happy life with a big family. You just have to be patient. so always be patient and kind."

They both looked at each other and laughed in unison at her made-up prophecy.

After almost a month, Saki's parents informed her that today they were returning to their home back in the capital. Because she had not been aware beforehand about it, she had not informed Yang Liwei about it.

As their family of five settled in the car, they set off. On the way to the airport, their car passed by the park Saki and Yang Liwei used to meet daily.

She immediately noticed Yang Liwei who had been waiting for hours on the border of the park for her.
