Einne adjusted her school life from the university and forgot who were the main lead as well. They were only had few encounters when she transmigrated and she was too immersed on her tragic end. Her life in Berlin was an escape route yet she was diverted back to her main setting. She wondered who were the main leads again and how to secure to avoid them at all cost. While thinking all these, she was about to bump in a post but she felt someone's palm pushed against her forehead. Looking at the post on front of her she was relieved to be saved by someone. She looked at her saviour yet avoid his face, and she smiled at him.
"Thank you." she walked past ahead of him while heading to the practice room.
David stood in silence and found it very odd for Coreen not to recognize him or maybe avoid him. In the past, she will find all her means to meet him and ask her attention but the Coreen he saw was different from who he know of. He visited the campus as he was to give lecture to his former department which was the opposite building of the Music and Arts. Looking at her heading to her building while listening music while walking quitely, perhaps he was too worried for something which bothered him more. He shook his thoughts and proceed to where he was heading.
Every body in the room was uproared for the upcoming festival and gala for the founding anniversary of the university. The music and arts department of all genre was preparing for performance which highlight their aces. Einne was choose to perform solo accompanied with piano. It was privilege that she was the department's ace. She was escorted by her professor to the special music room to be untilized during her practice.
"Oh by the way, you will collaborate with Dmitri, I hoped you get along during your exchange program in Berlin."
"Yes... we get a.." she paused and looked at her professor. "Which Dmitri are you talking about?"
A sinister intro coming from the room startled them as her professor opened the room. The other person was started to play heavy pieces that pierced or nailed anyone on the spot.
He looked at her coldly and resume his sinister play.
It was a strange greeting from Dmitri.
"Oh, he is Dmitri Young, your competitor in Berlin."
Einne smiled at her professor, hiding her intense intimation at Dmitri.
"Oh, my bestfriend Dmitri." she walked towards him and pat his shoulders. "As usual you greet me sweetly." she hit hard at his back while trying to be at peace with him.
"Great, since the two of you are in good terms I am confident your collaboration in the upcoming gala." then their professor left them alone.
"It was nice meeting you again with your dark soul Dmitri."
"Annoying as always, Ms. Coreen Lin."
She handed the music sheet to Dmitri and stood beside him.
"I don't think you could cooperate with me but please refrain from getting on my nerves."
She was stunned with what she heard. His whole being is an epitome of exasperation, she couldn't rebut at all.
"Sure. Now can we start? Mr. pianist?"
His fingers tinkered and already played her piece. They both immerse themselves in music unaware that they were watched from the whole department from the screen and played on broadcast.
It was a lovesong that the atmosphere earlier diffused and replaced with longing and affection. The pianist tinker the piano as if he was about to kiss the one he loved. The solo's voice too was soothing and refreshing while confessing to someone she truly likes. Every listening ear was so moved with what they hear and even the professors were wandered into their nostalgic moments. They were in sync and harmony as of they were pairs of lovers confessing with what they truly feel.
The whole department as well as the people heard nearby halted all their activities. Expected from their two aces, they were truly remarkable.
Even David and Carmen stop their conversation as they heard the music in live session from music department. While looking at Einne with loving affection and pouring out her emotion while glancing at the pianist with warmest smile, angered him for no reason. That expression was supposed to be his and he felt that he was robbed. Can't stand it any longer, he excused himself and headed towards the music building.
Carmen pitifully looked at David's back and her jealousy grew as she tighten her fist. It seems she was robbed with affection because of the nuisance, looking at Einne with her lovely expression.
Unaware of being watched, their practice was concluded as successful.
"It such good playing you got there Dmitri." she admit her defeat and sigh. "I had to confess, long time ago in Berlin."
It was still in broadcast that everyone was giddy to hear and open confession.
She heave a sigh and looked at him. "I truly like you."
Dmitri eyes widen to a surprise as he was clueless with what she was saying.
It's not wrong to confess that she truly like Dmitri. His piano to be exact.
"Hold on. Are you confessing your adoration to me?" his tone grew colder but he can't hid his surprise.
"Exactly. I truly liked you." with a straight face.
"Ms. Coreen, it is very surprising. I am afraid I am cut off of it. I don't deserve your affection at all."
"As always you kept on rejecting me. What's wrong falling in love with.."
Everyone gasp as they heard her firm confession. No one would be braver like her.
"Piano."
Dmitri looked at her with annoyed face. She was too confusing with her words as if she was toying with her. Everyone too was confused.
"I like your piano dude. I loved it particularly so perhaps can we be friends?"
She loved his piano! Everyone was disappointed with what they heard. It seems romance is difficult with the two.
"I thought.." he sighed. He looked disappointed than earlier.
"Don't tell me you thought I like you to the moon and stars? Oho, don't be too greedy." she teased at him and laughed it out.
He stormed out of the room and she chased him with meaningful expression.
"Dmitri Young!" she called with her playful tone. "I love your piano with all of my hypothalamus." Then she ran past ahead to him and wink at him.
