I walked over to the piano which was next to the fireplace. And my mother walked towards me suddenly. I opened the piano cover, holding my breath. Really, this is the first time I play music in front of people I just met. I used to play music only when I was at home with my mom and dad. I turned to my right, my mother sat beside me.
I took a deep breath, and my fingers started tapping the piano notes one by one. I calmly remember the musical notes one by one. His voice came out sweetly, I played a type of music that I often played with Mother. I myself never knew what kind of music and the title of the song I was playing. Even though I can play musical instruments, especially the piano, I never cared what kind of music and what kind. I just played it and never wanted to know. I followed my instincts and my fingers played swiftly, I enjoyed every sound of the piano chiming that came out with the rhythm starting to form a song. Flowing beautifully, fun, and warm feelings.
I kept playing and playing, every now and then I smiled at my mother. The music continued to play, as if everyone in the room and even outside the garden were enjoying the music made by my nimble fingers. The sound of the music is so hypnotizing everyone who listens. There was no sound other than the sound of the piano chiming. I'm enjoying it, getting excited.
For a long time we enjoyed the music from my cold hands. And then the music stops, I myself never know when my fingers stop it. I only heard the sound of boisterous applause giving applause for my efforts. I stood up and bowed my head, smiling at my father. Dad raised his thumbs and said "Nice ..." without a sound but I can read your lips movements. I smiled, I saw one by one the faces of the people in the room.
And suddenly I saw the figure of a young man who this morning laughed at me and who came standing by the lake ... wait!
Wasn't he the one in my dream when I fell asleep earlier? His face looks uncharacteristically pleasant, he flashes a smile when my eyes fall on him.
Oh no, what's wrong with me why suddenly my feelings change like this. My heart was beating so fast I couldn't control it. I'd love to get close to him but I can't at this point. Where all the guests turned to me. and I can't possibly leave this room when everyone is enjoying their meal and chatting with each other. And my right hand feels cold, Mother holds it. I looked at him, he smiled. Always.. always like this. Only Mom can always make me calm when I'm hit by doubts and worries.
The young man was still standing by the window in a white sweater and tattered jeans and his hair was always messy. I always remember his white face and smile even though I just met him. Even at a distance, I haven't even met him directly. "Tetra."
Yes! I remember when I called his name Tetra. He was still standing and still looking at me intently.
That stare, oh ... I am embarrassed for myself. And he's still looking at me. I scratched the back of my hair and looked down. My heart still won't stop getting faster.
Mother took my hand, I followed her. I don't know where I'm going. I passed a few people and I thought mom would take me to dad's. But he got past it. I smiled at my father and Mister Nitro who were standing side by side looking engrossed in having a discussion with a man the same age as my father, I thought it was my father's colleague. It can be seen from his fashionable appearance and his neat hairstyle with hair oil clearly visible on his head that looks shiny. From his face he looks serious, I'm sure it must be father's co-worker. He smiled at me with a slight squint at my strange behavior. Hurrying past them.
Oh no! Mom took me to him. Closer and closer, my heart became more and more irregular. And I'm sure he knows how I feel. The look on his face seemed to show it to me. Mom, please don't do this. I groaned by turning to my mother. But mom doesn't seem to care about my request. Getting closer, I tried to pull my hand but mother gripped it tightly and kept pulling me until I was finally standing face to face with the young man I met in my dream earlier.
"Good evening Mrs. Adesya." The young man bowed and in a sweet manner he greeted my mother. I stood indifferently beside my mother, glancing at her pretending to be indifferent. But, when I glanced at it a second time. He caught my strange behavior and smiled covering his face laughing at me, I was getting nervous.
"Tetra night, how are you?" I covered my mouth with my hands when I realized that the words came out of my mouth without me realizing it.
I stared at him silently. Is that true!
Oh, what did I just say? Why do I feel like I've known him for a long time?
How can I greet him like we already know each other? He was still holding back his laughter, Hey, what's with him acting like that. What's wrong with me, I noticed for myself that my whole body there is nothing wrong with my appearance. I bit my lower lip and gave him an annoyed face.
"Tetra, this is my daughter's Flanella." Mom took my hand and I couldn't help but shake her hand. My heart still won't stop, my face feels so hot. I'm sure he knows what I'm going through right now. But he pretended to be calm by holding back his laughter and holding out his hand. We shook hands, he bowed and I couldn't help but follow him. I have to get used to the habits of the people here. I'm getting closer to him. And I looked at his face, oh ... I can't stand it. It's like everything is floating around in my head. What do I feel, what's wrong with me? I suddenly felt nauseous and felt like I was riding a merry-go-round.
Why am I so dizzy?
MoM, why me?
