31st September 2007.
It had been the last day of school.
The performance had started. Danny Alonzo took the stage. He took a deep breath and began visualizing that nothing would go wrong. He was having the jitters and some mild stage fright. There were a thousand eyes looking at him in anticipation from the audience. He had to play it well.
He began playing the first arrangement in his performance-Johann Strauss II The Blue Danube Waltz. He lifted his head up and did a quick scan at the crowd for Adelie. There she was. Sitting at the second row from the front right, with a triumphant look in her eyes. He smiled. He felt his confidence surging.
It was time for his final piece of the day. He started playing a piece which sounded so familiar to Adelie. That was when she realized that it had been the song he had taught her to play back at his father’s musical store.
“ I would need you as my partner for this duet.”
He spoke into the microphone and pointed at Adelie.
She blushed.
