Letter to Atlanta
33. Music is my life

If it wasn't for Atlanta, he'd be so lazy to deal with a person called Theo. It was enough for him to plunge into trouble just once. After all, he himself did not have any outstanding talent in the art of music. It should have been in the teacher's room he could have thought dozens of times in deciding such a thing.

Here, in front of the class next to her own, Elisha and Atlanta both stood up, leaning her back against the iron fence that was the height of the girl's shoulder.

Their class ended earlier than the other classes, of course because the teacher concerned only gave the task of taking notes because they could not attend to the class. Several times Elisha glanced at his watch that was coiled around his wrist, hoping that the bell came home immediately, and he could more quickly settle his affairs with Theo.

"You, sure, want to join the music?" elisa asked after turning to Atlanta, displaying the calm face of the man.

"You asked, right?"

Elisa gave a small snort, she still remembered the moment where she forced Atlanta to get into the musical exculus, she did not forget that.

"I-iya, but right, that's when I don't know who the chairman is. If I knew who the chief exkul was, I wouldn't agree you go in there either. You better join my martial arts with me."

Atlanta smiled gently, rubbing the top of Elisa's head a few times.

"I don't like to punch."

"Yes it's good dong, later you can hit the bad guys just like you. You kick him, you twist him," he said with hand and foot movements like he was fighting with air.

Suddenly, making the man widen his smile even more, displaying a row of neat teeth like a rabbit.

"Somehow, why Theo the chairman?"

He clucked, that man is stupid or what? It was obvious because Theo was the one who had always disturbed the peace of his life. Did he forget, that Theo had humiliated him first? Getting into the music, is like getting into a tiger's cage. What would his fate be if Theo were more free to bully Atlanta.

"It's clear because he's evil, Atlanta."

"When he's evil, he won't be the chief exkul."

The voice*******breath sounded from Elisha's tiny mouth, she folded her arms. Again, again, and again, Atlanta always stands up for that guy.

"Udah, you don't have to say that everyone is good. Not all good, Atlanta."

"But not everyone is bad, Elisha. They must have a good side, but we don't know."

Elisha pursed his lips. Not to disagree with the words of Atlanta, only he felt that everything in Atlanta was not worth the enormous sense of patience the man. He knew that the boy must have had a very hard time controlling all the pain he had felt all along, but look, he lightly thought those people were good human beings.

"But you shouldn't be kind to the same people who insult you, your lowly."

Only a smile could be imprinted on his face. It practically made Elisa again cluck, as if the girl already knew what Atlanta was going to say.

"I wasn't taught to be a vengeful man, Elisha."

Well, here, is Elisha being too selfish, or Atlanta being too good? Although he confirmed everything Atlanta revealed, still, the little heart of the girl still did not accept Atlanta's generosity.

"But-"

Krieggg....

The sound of a bell rang, along with the cries of the students inside the classroom. The two of them immediately stood up when the door was originally closed, moved open by a teacher who had just come out.

One by one the students left the class, Elisha was still waiting for the person he was looking for dyed. Until his irises caught the tall figure who was both staring at him when he was already in the doorway.

"Wow! Why are you guys here?" he said while putting both hands into the pocket of his pants, the impression of arrogance is clearly visible.

"Ah, I understand." He turned his head back, then said, "JAY! THIS IS LO NUNGGUIN'S GIRLFRIEND!" Shouted Theo.

Elisha snorted, turning a lazy eyeball. Soon, Jay exits the classroom, approaches Elisha. The man immediately pulled Elisha's slender waist into his arms, then pecked at the top of the girl's head, not even caring about the people around.

Elisha hit Jay's arm hard enough after he painstakingly let go of the man's tight hug.

"Jay! You're nothing at all. It's at school." His grunts while giving distance to Jay.

"You are very nervous when you are angry again" he said pinching Elisha's cheek. "Btw, what are you doing here? Just wanted to call you home."

Elisha cleared his throat, folding his hands in front.

"I have a business with the dakjal child" said Elisha, pulling his pointy chin towards Theo.

Theo raised next to an eyebrow, his mainstay slanted smile created again. "So your mouth!" He shouted, he pointed at Elisha with his index finger pointing in front of the girl's face.

"Before you tell me, how nice you'll read it first, stupid!" Elisha stuck out his tongue after that.

Jay patted Theo's shoulder which he was sure would vent emotions that second as well. Theo regained his senses, he chose to take a breath, throwing it round and round.

"Keep, there's a need for what you're the same me?" said ketus.

"Gue is the same Atlanta wants to enter the music scene" said Elisa to the point.

Theo frowned, silent for a while after hearing Elisha's words. Her index finger pointed at Elisa and Atlanta alternately.

"Lo's? The same mute guy? Want to get into music?"

After that, there was a loud laughter. Theo laughed amusedly, holding his stomach that felt like it was being tickled, until the corner of his eye let out water.

"Not laugh, damn it! Nothing funny!" Touch the girl, though,

Theo wiped the corner of his eye. Snorting, still with his haughty gaze, he said, "What demon tatters are you. What talent, huh?"

Elisha immediately grabbed Theo's uniform collar. The man raised both of his hands, still with a sly smile there.

"Don't bacot much, dog!" The girl who looked almost out of patience. "Gue needs answers!"

Atlanta pulls Elisa's left arm, tries to hold the girl, on the other side, Jay pulls her right arm. Both pull pull Elisha's very tight arms clutching Theo's uniform collar.

"El, no, be patient, dong" said Jay softly.

Elisha relented, releasing the grip of his hand, as Atlanta and Jay's grasp loosened on both arms.

Theo tidied up his tangled uniform, looking reddish marks on the neck of the man, imagining how tight Elisha had strangled him earlier.

"Where?" elisha said coldly.

Theo frowned, ruffled his waist watching Atlanta and Elisa intensely, the sneakers he wore were unceasingly stomped softly on the tiles.

"Gue can't accept just anyone. If you want to join my exkul, you have to pass the test first."

"okay!"

The man smirked, turned his legs. "Follow me."

Atlanta, Elisha, and Jay were there at the time, following where the man who had the face firmly walked. Atlanta could not hide the curving line on her lips. A girl who saw the excitement there, patting the Atlanta arm softly, clenched her hands into the air as if to encourage the man who was now walking beside her.

"I told you, Theo's good."

"Yes, yeah,"

Jay only gave a small snort, when he saw the familiarity of the two humans in front of him. The corner of the man's lips lifted as Elisha was able to understand Atlanta's hand movements which he himself did not know what the half-brother was saying.

In front of the glass door, with wood carvings inscribed with musical arcs-Theo reached into the key in his pants pocket, opened the door wide and revealed a dark room. He went in first, looking for a light switch in the corner of the room.

"Lake in," he said.

Elisha began to circulate his gaze to every corner of the vast room. Seemed still unfamiliar to him, many musical instruments are not able to be counted by the number of fingers neatly stored inside.

The man who was leading the music scene leisurely sat on the wooden chair while folding his hands, still staring sinisterly at the two people in front.

"Now, show me your talent,"

Elisha immediately stared at Atlanta, hinting at the man to start something that could satisfy Theo's desire for her.

Atlanta took a breath, neutralizing the nervousness that was enveloping her inner self. He was afraid, very afraid, he never showed anything to others, including his own talent. But his leg still carried the man towards the ivory-white piano there.

The girl smiled broadly after seeing Atlanta sitting on a chair, about to do something that would probably make her proud of the man.

I can, I should be able to. Inner sure.

His hands began to lift, pressing the black and white keys very slowly and gently, until it produced a very beautiful melody. His fingers danced cunningly there, succeeding in making the people who saw amazed. Atlanta smiled faintly, venting the emotions of the soul that she was only able to share through a melodious twang.

Somehow the girl felt a beating heart rate, even her eyes were heated when she saw the man playing a song very well.

Until the song was finished playing, Elisha clapped his hands proudly, he was unconscious with his tears almost spilling and wiped him roughly with the back of his hand.

"Atlanta, you're great!" he gave the man two thumbs up.

Theo still did not believe everything he saw and heard a moment ago, many times he wished it was just an illusion, but in fact it was not. He scratched his nose, moving from his seat to Atlanta.

"Gue admit, you're talented here. I think the song you played was pretty good." He paused his words, choosing to put both of his hands into his pants pocket. "Gue accepts you in music."

"Theo! You seriously accept him?!" sahut Jay who seems to not accept.

Theo just puts his shoulders, however he is not the selfish type, he is very professional in any case. After all, Atlanta's talent will have a good impact on music, right?

"Now it's your turn, Elisha."

Elisa grinning. "Gue can't do anything. T—but, I can learn coke."

Theo knitted his brows, and he said, "Lo think learning music can take a day or two? Nobody learns from zero. If you can't do anything, then you want to enter my experience for what, huh?!"

"Let's take care of Atlanta, what else."
