“I… I learned to play a new song as a birthday present for you. I hope… I hope you’ll like it,” he said
somewhat nervously, embarrassed to tell her that he had no money, so he could not afford a present.
This was all he could give her.
Fortunately, Jasper Reed’s face did not show disappointment but a look of expectation.
William sat down on the piano stool, took a deep breath, and pressed his fingers heavily on the keys.
It was a difficult piece, and he had only heard recordings of it a few times. No one taught him the piece.
He found the music score online and learned it himself.
He had practiced secretly for days just to play the song perfectly and make her happy.
‘She’ll love the song… won’t she? She has always liked music that’s difficult to play.‘
He could play every note correctly, but he could not evoke the right emotions.
Therefore, his music had always lacked something compared to hers.
He tried hard to make his music have more of what she wanted
and make her like his music more, but… he could not do it.
His fingers played smoothly on the keys, and he made no mistake.
While he played, he thought about her.
2/3
He was so happy when she appeared in his room with the cake.
She said she would celebrate his future birthdays in secret, and he was so happy. It would be
memorable.
However, when he thought of what his mother had done, he was afraid that Jasper would hate him
when she found out how wicked his mother was.
When the song ended, William seemed to still be immersed in the song until a loud round of applause
suddenly brought him back to his senses.
Jasper clapped her hands, looking happy. “Wow, William, you played so well. It’s a difficult song, and
what you played this time is different from the songs you played before!”
“Different?” he asked in confusion.
“It’s like there’s something extra. You used to play like a machine. The music sounds good, but
something’s missing. It’s different now. Anyway, I think you played very, very well!” she praised
generously.
He looked blankly at her. It was the first time he had ever heard
her praise his piano skills. “Did you like it?”
“Of course, I do. Why don’t you teach me how to play this song and we can play it together?” she
asked.
“Sure,” he answered. As long as she liked it.
“William, thank you for the present. I’m so happy to have heard such a beautiful song today!” Jasper
hugged William and kissed him on the cheek to express her gratitude.
William’s face instantly turned red. His cheeks felt like they were on fire, but… he loved the way she
kissed him.
“Jasper, never… ever hate me, okay?” muttered William.
“I won’t hate you,” she said confidently.
“Never?”
“Of course!”
Little by little, his restless heart seemed to quiet down. He would stay here forever and never go
anywhere as long as she
did not hate him!
