He would play it once in a while,” Betty explained. “Do you play?” Isabel asked, turning to me with a teasing smile. She must have noticed the fondness in my eyes. “I…” Suddenly, I did not know how to answer the question.

More importantly, what caused everyone to screech was not the beautiful display, nor was it the music of the piano that began to reverberate across the area. Isabel followed the direction where she heard the strum of the piano and saw a clearing covered with fresh flower petals. There was a pearl white piano installed in the center of the open plains. A young man dressed in a white shirt was seated in front of the piano, his fingers rhythmically and adeptly dancing across the black and white keys. "Wow!

I let my hands hover over the keys for a moment, feeling a sense of anticipation building within me. With a deep breath, I pressed down on the keys, and the first notes rang out, clear and pure. The sound resonated through the room, filling the space with its haunting melody. I chose to play a song that I had loved and played often as a child, a piece titled "Falling Dominos."

She never knew that he could play the piano. Her feet walked slowly back to Rafael. She leaned her elbows on the body of the piano, smiling while enjoying Rafael's perfect playing—not a single wrong note. The tempo, the rhythm, and the way he pressed the keys showed that he had been playing the piano for a long time—not an amateur who could only play one or two songs with sheet music and notes.
