What is that?
It starts with a G… I think…
You’re getting close… I think…Take it in your hands
23rd of April… his nameday.
Take this in your hands.
“I dedicate this to Aleka..with lots of love”
Very nice years… Genuine years.
Where did we take you?
To times that don't exist..
Anymore! Its never late to relive though! That's what this show is for, you know.
Did you understand who it is?
...Of course…
Do you remember his last name?
I’m sorry...but now...I feel that I am back in those days, and not here…
But here too of course
Stay there, that is where we want you!
Yes, yes, exactly. I remember his name, but I can’t say it.
My soul is keeping it in. Its not letting me say it.
Do you remember Nektarios?
Excuse me?
Do you remember Nektarios?
…...yyyes?!
Remeber that he came with flowers to your house to ask for your hand?
Yes!
And 3 days later he disappeared?
I think… I don’t remember exactly how many days…
Did you ever look for him?
When a person disappears, why should I look for him? Is it worth it?
Out of interest!
What if something bad happened to him?
Oh I don’t know, I’m not God. He should have called to let me know.
I agree.
Why should I look for him?
But what if what happened to him was truly very serious?
He should have called.. to report it.
I agree with you, it is a great oversight, but maybe he didn’t want to sadden you
and stop you from getting on with your life.
No. When you let someone know, you don’t sadden them. You tell them what is
necessary, and you explain so that there isn’t a misunderstanding.
If you saw him now, would you give him the right to tell you what happened?
Just so that you aren’t curious anymore…
It depends on the incident… And why after all this time..?
Do you want to find out?
As a human being, humanly, yes, why not.
Show us the person please.
Hey, Aleka! What’s up?
Fine!
Its been years…
Excuse me?
I said, its been years!
Of course! When you’ve met a person
and then you leave suddenly from their life, some years go by...
Yes but there are reasons..many reasons
What reasons? Wasn’t there some way of communicating?
In the situation I was in, no. I had a very bad accident. Which wasted many
years of my life. Now I am well though. And that’s why I came… Why I invited
you, so I could explain these things to you. I was in such a bad situation that I
couldn’t, I had even gone abroad. It took years for me to get well again.
I’m sorry for you as a person, but at some point, wasn’t there someone to call
and let me know?
It wasn’t possible then, in the situation I was in…
Not at all?
First of all, I didn’t want to sadden you with what was wrong with me.
No, truth does not sadden. No I don’t think so.
Can I say something? Just to say that he had a very serious accident, he was in
danger of losing his leg, he had to be sent to England, his parents went with
him, there he was in the hospital for months on end, and it was only a few
years ago that he finished treatment completely. He was embarassed all that
time, to come to your door. Actually he did go to your house a few times. But he
never gathered the courage to ring the bell.
Yes. I believe that in life, when we want something truly, we find everything.
And that comes out of our inner being. Please Mr. Nektarios -
There is bitterness Mr. Nektarios! Great bitterness.
But she’s right! Absolutely! But it wasn’t my fault, that is how my cards were
dealt. My health situation was such that ….. If she wants she can forgive me.
And even if she doesn’t, she will be right.
I hope, to a great extent, that you have gotten better… And other than that,
I don’t have anything more to add. For now at least.
Would you give him the chance to explain to you in person? Because there is so
much to explain now, in front of everyone.
I’m sure… These things are not said through…
What he has to say now is what you mean to him. Please tell her.
Aleka I have never forgotten you. Nor did I forget you. That is also why I didn’t
make a life for myself. That is why I invited you here, to straighten everything
out, and tell you that everything happened so fast. And I want you to
know that of all the people I met, you were the best,
you made me the happiest person.
Thank-you-for-what I heard. But I like proof in my life.
Can I give you a proof?
Please.
Can I give the chance for a proof?
Yes. I have no problem whatsoever.
Aleka is a very sweet person. Let them see eachother. He was telling us how
sweet and genuine you are.
-I forgive, but I don’t forget.
Yes, and I think you are right. But truly, there were so many obstacles for him,
he can tell you later himself.
Hello Nektarios! I can’t believe it.
That’s life. What can we do?
I forgive, but…
I had a serious accident. But now I am healthy. That's why I got the courage...
Thank you for the gesture, but the rest, I think…
We will talk about it.
Can I tell you what he was telling me earlier? That “if she isn’t married, and we
manage to get along, I might even propose”.
I’m single, but, to accept a marriage proposal… It is a very big decision.
It needs depth.
I agree. And it needs time. But from now on you have time to give it a chance.
Of course, you finished my sentence.
Thank you.
