Pitiful Joe

Joe was leaning on a pillar and was watching the corner where the band was. His wife was standing nearby clapping for the first daughter who sang that popular song from a Disney movie. He didn't know Talia could play the piano this well and she even sang well as she helped the first daughter, as she forgot her lines out of anxiety.

His heart got filled with sorrow. He saw his mother walking towards him and after greeting her, he walked to his wife and his mother followed. By now, the First Daughter got more excited and was singing another song and Talia was playing the piano for this song too.

"Rebecca..." Joe placed his hand on her shoulder and like a cat who touched a hot pan, she jumped and got aside. His heart broke to pieces.

Is she that scared of me?

"Rebecca, honey..." Mrs. Feldstein tried to speak to Rebecca but she moved aside.

"Why don't you join us for dinner tonight? Maybe bring your friend - " she asked nonetheless.
