"Are you okay?" the girl repeated.
"Ah, yes I'm fine." only Helder could say.
He couldn't take his eyes off the girl.
"How could such a thing happen?" he thought.
Her eyes and hair were identical.
He felt very strange.
Or was he dreaming?
But it could not be.
At that moment, the girl walked slowly past Helder.
She put the flowers in her hands on the grave.
"I'm a sorry grandma for not being able to come because of my exams." she said.
Grandma?
Helder's confusion grew even more.
"So she got married and had children." Helder thought…
He wiped the tears from his face with his hand.
The girl turned towards Helder.
She asked curiously.
"How do you know my grandmother? And you brought the flower she loves. This is even more interesting. "
"What's interesting?" Helder asked.
The girl looked at Helder for a long time.
As if she knew.
She remembered.
"Oh yes. You are the newly transferred football player to the Brest club. I've seen it on TV. " said.
"Yes, I just got here." only Helder could say.
"So how does a newcomer know my grandmother?" the girl asked.
"Your grandmother is an old friend of my grandfather. He told me a lot about your grandmother. Once upon a time, they were very close friends. He also mentioned the flower he loved. While I was in this city, I wanted to visit his grave. " Helder said.
He was clearly lying.
Close friend?
Not even he himself believed it.
But there was a question that troubled his mind.
"How did the heart patient Carine get married?" he thought.
"She also rejected me because of his illness. She wanted me to focus on football. If I had my current mind, I would quit football for her... "
Helder's hand was in his pocket.
"You know me, but can I hear your name too?"
"Oh forgive my rudeness. My name is Carine. They named me after my grandmother."
"Carine?"
"What kind of fate is this?"
"It can't all be dreams, right?"
Helder was completely disbanded.
But he wanted to ask the question in his mind. He should have learned.
"From what I heard from my grandfather, your grandmother had heart disease and shouldn't be tired. Don't get me wrong, but how could she get married in such a situation? "
"Heart patient?" the girl asked.
She was surprised.
"I wonder if I asked something wrong?" he thought.
"My grandmother Carine hid from him that she had heart disease when she married my grandfather Mathis. And my grandmother died at the time of my mother's birth. How do you know these that make me think? Who are you really? " the girl asked.
"Hahahahahahahaha…"
"Hahahahahahahahhahahahahaha…"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah…"
Helder was laughing. He was laughing in such a way that it could be heard even from a few kilometers away.
He stopped laughing.
"I'm just an ordinary football player." he said and walked away.
Young Carina thought about shouting but later gave up.
***
Helder had come to the facilities.
"So she married Mathis I hate and died a few years later?" he thought.
Then he took a shake.
"The past is past, Helder. Past is past. Focus on your future. And forget all your past… "
Although Helder thought that way, his past would not leave him ...
