Carl or Noah

We sat there in silence for a while when he stood up to go.

"Carl"

"Hmm"

"Why have you changed your name?" I asked as it had always intrigued me.

His expressions turned cold as he looked at me. I kept looking at him in silence and when I was sure that he would not reply, I started.

"If you didn't want to tell me, then it is fine." and he sighed.

He walked back but instead of sitting on the chair with me. He walked towards the wisteria tree and laid down on the grass. He was behaving strangely yet I felt that he was like a gloomy child who was abandoned by everyone. 

He needed care and love and promised that everything would be fine.

So I walked towards him and laid beside him. The sky had turned crimson and there were birds flying high in the sky going back to their home, the nest they have created with love and care where their family resides.
