When he asked Lila that question earlier, it did occur to him that she would sing for him. He isn't boasting or anything like that. But he just had a strong feeling. It doesn't have to be him; he said that so many times already. He's content just being near her, seeing her smile. But,' I loved you a lot. '
How... How can he pretend that she never said that? Even if it was under such circumstances. She still said the words, 'I love you' to him; and right now…in an important event like this — your singing for him.
What a fool, he should have realized it sooner. It's just like Mother told him; he doesn't have to find a way to be part of Lila's life. He will always be there.
