Chapter 36

Everyone looked at Elisia who said she can play the piano with a question mark. They wonder if she really can.

They all know her background now as an orphan and how she lived a poor life. How can she have the talent for playing an instrument when she can't even sing or dance? don't get it wrong, they love and adore her but they have doubts, and even not saying it, in the back of their minds, they belittle her ability.

They looked at each other. They do not want to have the show ruined that's why one of them who has a bit of courage raised his hand, His name is Hans, the nerd in the class.

He is not a professional pianist but he is confident in his skills.

'I can also play the piano.' He said. Some of them sigh in relief. They know that if Hans plays, it will be a success. They believe him more than Elisia's ability.

They were surprised when Yale came running to where the piano is, some of them followed and gathered around the piano. They ignored Elisia and Hans went straight ahead of the chair and sat down.

The piano looks very old but he can make do with it. He said in his head.

He lifted his hand and his fingers pressed the key to try it but he found out that it's heavy and hard.

'I can't play this.' Hans suddenly said. some of them immediately felt disappointed

'Why?' one of them asked.

'This is an old piano! The keys are rusty. No one can play this' Hans said.

They all got more worried when they heard Maria.

'Sarah will finish in 30 seconds!' Maria said while looking at the stage.

'Let me try.' They were all surprised when Elisia spoke.

They all look at her. If Hans cannot play this thing, how can she? Some do not believe her.

Hans looked at her.

'Elisia, I don't think you can - -' Hans was about to say something when Yale cut him off.

'Can you really?' Yale asks her directly

'This piano is old and neglected but I think it still has life in it. Let me play this piano's last piece.' Elisia said while looking at the piano with a soft gaze and caressing the top of it like a baby.

'Then try.' They looked at Yale with doubts and questions but they noticed Yale's face, he looked at Elisia with hope.

Is there something that can really be done in this critical situation? They don't have any other options but to believe in her.

Thankfully the speaker is self-efficient where it has battery life so that they can still connect the piano into it. Hans can't do anything but get out of his seat quickly and let Elisia sit.

Some of their classmate who has flashlights gathered near Elisia as for Yale's request for more lighting because given the situation. It is still very dark.

'Boss, what kind of music would you prefer for our little commercial?' Elisia asked when she is seated in front of the piano.

'Anything deep and sad.' Yale said while looking at her with a very serious face. He doesn't look worried but the majority of the others are.

They can't help but pray.

'In three

Two

One.' Maria

'Play!' Yale said.

After 12 seconds of Elisia's playing

They were shocked.

As she plays more, they can't hear anything

they can't see anyone

but her.
