Are you also aware that we have a Contact Form that we can use on static Pages? See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

If you aren't really setting up a blog that will be be frequently updated with fresh content in posts but instead are setting up a blog that mocks a website then you may prefer to use it or not. At the least I do want to make you aware that it does exist. :)

I tried refreshing and emptying the cache of the browser. any solution?

It shows under the line: your comment is waiting moderation.

That's normal behavior. Only the person who left the comment can read it. It's a reassurance that their comment did indeed "take" and is awaiting moderation by the Admin of the blog.

The name and e-mail fields now show, but I leave a comment and it still gets displayed without me having approved it. It shows under the line: your comment is waiting moderation.
