Chapter 18
>>>
It was morning and Elena ran as fast as she can.
She was rushing to class and she is already late for it.
Because of yesterday heavy rain fall, the weather was cold and freezing that she slept deeply, forgetting to wake up on her usual time.
"Sorry" Elena apologized to the student she almost bumped into.
She finally stopped at class 99 and arranged her hair before entering into the class.
Surprisingly Aunty Clara was the one who is having her subject this early.
Surprisingly she brought a music instrument to her class today.
Is today some kinda of rehearsal thing, Elena wondered.
Aunt Clara stopped what she was saying and looked at Elena with surprise.
"Elena your here"
Thank God you are here I thought you will not able to make it today. Aunt Clara thought in her mind.
"Am so sorry for coming to class late..."
"Don't worry you can go sit down " Aunt Clara interrupted.
"Thanks " Elena walked towards her sit.
All the boys was surprised by the way Aunt Clara allowed Elena in so easily.
Everyone knows how strict aunt Clara is, if you come late to her class, forget it you are not even stepping in to her class.
Elena made eye contact with Eden for a brief second before Eden looked away.
Elena then looked at Axel who winked at her.
Elena smiled and finally settled down on her sit.
Aunt Clara taught for few minutes before she suddenly called out for Elena.
"Elena please step out and play the piano" Aunt Clara called out.
Being the only girl in this class make it more suitable. Aunt Clara thought
Elena stood up from her sit looking nervous.
"Is anything wrong?" Aunty Clara asked noticing her expression.
"Actually I don't know how to use the piano" she replied bitting her lips.
"She is really a typical village girl" Jason joked and the whole class laughed.
"Okay don't worry about it, just sing any song you know , am gonna go with the piano" Aunty Clara said sitting down on the stool, keeping her fingers on the keyboard like a professional.
Elena walked out from her sit and faced the class with her eyes closed, she was shy.
She felt everyone eyes on her.
"Introduce yourself like you are performing on stage" Aunt Clara explained.
"Hi! My name is Elena and I am here to.. sing for you"
"I hope you are not gonna to sing 'jingle bell' for us" Jason added and the whole class burst into another round of laughter, expect Eden who busy playing with his pen using his fingers without a hint of expression on his face.
"Jason keep quiet or get out from my class" Aunty Clara warned.
"Sorry"
"Elena you can start" She said and started playing the piano.
Elena breath in and out before opening her mouth to sing.
I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care
But it's so cold and I don't know where
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring
And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright
I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up
And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight
But my hands been broken one too many times
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude
Words, they always win, but I know I'll lose
And I'd sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up
(Oh, need a love, now, my heart is thinking of)
I wanna sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
But all my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up, up
She finally finished singing with her eyes closed.
Her voice sweet as an angel finally stopped sounding.
The class became as quiet as a grave yard.
Everyone became quiet and emotional not knowing what to say.
Eden looked at her as tears streamed down from his eyes to his check.
He finally shed tears for the first time in many years.
