Chapter 19: The heart wants what it wants I (2/2)
”I'm not laughing Sir, it's just that I'm so happy that my song has been recognized. I never thought that I would be receiving this much praise. Thank you very much.” Serena explained after composing herself.
”No my dear, thank YOU. You have inspired me beyond words. Alright, please be seated and do not leave the class just yet after I dismiss your classmates.”
Serena moved back her seat. Unfortunately, she was not able to bask on Charlton's reaction much. While playing, she was too busy in concentrating on the piano keys to ensure that she doesn't press the wrong ones to look elsewhere. After playing, she was only able to catch a glimpse of his reaction. However, it was definitely worth it. Although he was not looking at her she did not fail to see his red face, curved eyes , and slightly tilted lips.
'If that song did not lead straight to his heart, I don't know what will.' Serena thought.

”You got girls writing songs for you now? I must say that I am envious! Stop that smile, it gives me the chills.” Kylo whispered to Charlton teasingly. Although he was sitting beside Geoffrey, he just can't hold back from making a comment.
Charlton can only cover his mouth with his right palm. He can't stop his lips from raising.
”Hey Leonard, you didn't mention how talented your sister was.” Kylo said, noticing Leonard being silent after being one of the people who made the loudest applause.
Leonard just looked at him smugly. As if saying, 'do you even need to ask? That is already a given.'

”Wow, you just made our instructor worship the grounds you walk on! Haha!” Gizel said laughingly as Serena sat back on her seat. ”But seriously, that was splendid!”
”That was really beautiful. I can't agree more.” Via commended.
”True that! I can already imagine you playing that song on my wedding. Promise me you'll play it for me when the time comes.” Milly gushed.
Serena can't help herself from laughing with what Milly said. In her previous life, it has been one of the most overrated wedding songs. Seems like it will soon spiral to that too.
