Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 11: Symphony

...The symphony of the music you play feels like you're dancing in the air....

...\=•\=•\=...

After that, Rey swung her hand and stuck it on the piano. He started playing the song he had already decided. Everyone was immediately stunned and watched Rey. I walked closer to him.

The more I walked closer, the more beautiful the tones felt. The melody of the piano twangs played felt like it was dancing in the air. The music soaked my heart. Rey .. I didn't know you could play this piano.

Over time I began to dissolve in her beautiful symphony. To the point that I didn't realize that the song was over. Shortly after, the cheers of the audience echoed throughout the room. The sound of applause came together to appreciate Rey's piano music. I smiled as I looked at him who was smiling at the audience.

I'm really amazed by him. Undeniably, this ear had heard clearly the extraordinary melody. He plays his piano with all his heart. Rey was so absorbed in the song she played. One sentence I'll always say, 'I admire you so much, Tachibana Rey'.

"Wahhhh .. is awesome! Everyone, let's applaud Rey out loud!" sahut a girl host earlier. "Rey, are you a piano course or what? Why can you play this well? Honestly, I'm very impressed with you" he continued, asking a question I also wanted to ask Rey.

Rey just smiled. "Formerly thank you for liking my pianist game. But I'm not a good pianist. I'm just a teenager who likes to play the piano, that's all. So, I didn't take any courses." said Rey, who remains humble in front of people. In fact, the ability to play the piano earlier is very extraordinary.

"Well, did you learn by yourself? Absolutely awesome! Umm... If you may know, do you have someone who you make a role model or inspiration for? If you have, please tell me who!" pinta the host girl.

Rey nodded her head. "Yes ., there are two people in this world who I've inspired. First, Kousei Yukima. He is a pianist who inspires me to keep learning and growing. Besides, if I'm sad, then I'll play the piano music. Because it will make my heart calm" Rey said.

"Ooo ... Kousei Yukima is a great pianist. So who is one more person?" tanyanya was curious about the second person who became Rey's inspiration.

Rey turned her gaze towards me who was standing and watched her. "He is Mizhunashi Ai!" said Rey.

I was shocked when Rey called my name to answer the second question. So that means, the second person who inspired him was, me?

"A beautiful girl standing there. He was the second person to inspire me, Mizhunashi Ai," Rey continued with a hand-pointing position.

Suddenly, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to me after Rey said that.

"The girl who always gets bad treatment whether it's at home or at school. His life was always overshadowed by dark clouds. He said he didn't want a fancy house or anything. He just wanted the rainbow to come and chase away the dark clouds in his life. Although he was always tormented, but Ai was not easily discouraged. He still has the passion to live his life. That's what made me admire him" Rey explained.

Suddenly my eyes glazed over after hearing Rey's words.

"Ahh .. is truly a heartwarming story. Miss Ai, can you go on stage?" ask the girl who meant to ask me to go up.

"Um .. a-I ...." I don't know why I suddenly doubt. Maybe because I was the center of attention. Arghh .. I don't like this situation.

"Ai, come!" take Rey.

"Wahhh .. hello, Ai! You're so pretty. By the way, are you guys dating?" ask the host.

I immediately reflexed and answered his question. "Ti-no .. we are only friends, no more hihi ...," I said swiftly to set this opinion straight. Because if not, then tomorrow Rey and I will be trending topics in school.

"Ohhh. Though you look very harmonious," he said with a little disappointment. Just slightly.

After that, Rey and I were invited to chat about our impressions, messages and expectations regarding the selection of this club. Rey answered every question very well. Instead, I was nervous and hesitant. Luckily, Rey was by my side to help.

Long story short, this short talk show has finished. Rey and I got off the stage to pick the club again.

"Rey .. I want to ask you something. Umm .. how can you perform on stage like that? How's story?" many wonder.

"Hm? A-ah, that. Yeah ... When I was looking around the club, I just realized that you don't exist. I panicked and then ran here and there to find you. Due to the large number of students here, I also had a hard time finding you. Well, at the same time, I saw a bunch of people arguing near the stage. They are confused because the show's filler pianist is not present," said Rey. "Therefore, I also took the initiative to replace the pianist," he continued.

"Ooh .. so. I also panicked when I realized that you were not by my side" I confessed.

"Emm ... why? Are you afraid of losing me? Hahaha ...," Rey's tease.

My cheeks are back red because of it. Why does he always tease me at the wrong time. For example, when I was panicking or upset, she teased me like this. Huhh ... really sucks. "W-what are you talking about? N-no," I said.

"Yes yes .. um .. by the way, you've got the club you want yet?" ask Rey.

Uhh .. I just remembered that I still haven't chosen the club. I just walked around and watched Rey.

"I haven't chosen the club yet. I guess, nothing suits me. After all, I do not have any advantages," I said almost desperately.

"Heeeeeyyy .. I just said on stage about how you are passionate about living life and will never despair. Don't disappoint everyone! I'm sure, everyone has their own advantages," he said to give me spirit.

I think the person who inspired me wasn't really me but you, Rey.

"You're right .. umm .. I like to paint and draw. Although the results are not so good, anyway. Is there such a club?" I asked Rey.

"There certainly is. Let's search together!" take Rey with me while holding my hand.

Rey and I went around the whole room looking for a painting club. Step by step we are moving. Every now and then he and I turned in all directions to find his club.
