Looking at the man reflected on the intercom screen, I was left speechless with shock. Wondering if I was seeing things, I rubbed my eyes and rushed outside. The bell rang once more as I was opening the door. Before the sound could fade, I hurried to swing the front door open and confirmed the man standing there with my own eyes.

“Ah, you startled me.”

Perhaps surprised by the door suddenly flinging open, he placed a hand over his chest, looking startled. A bashful smile began to spread across his face, as if he felt shy and embarrassed. And I, like a fool, just stood there with my mouth agape, staring blankly at him. The feeling of standing face-to-face with him after all this time was beyond description.
