MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
A THOUSAND YEARS
"But Janetta, haven't you been used to the guitar? The results of our band group performances will definitely be more maximal if each of us holds the most powerful musical instrument." Bram tries to subtly refuse the request Janetta who he knows can play the guitar well.
"Are you going to give me a chance this time if in training I try harder and guarantee my violin will not lose to others?" Janetta blatantly challenges Bram to believe her, though Janetta deliberately doesn't dare to mention that her violin is better than Bram who is known to be adept at playing the violin.
Hearing Janetta's pleading request, Bram seemed silent with his frowning forehead, trying to think of the right answer to Janetta's request.
"Then I hand over the others. What do you think?" Bram asked as he looked towards Ernest and Tira who had not said much.
Why is it so hard to take my eyes off Ernest? I always wanted to look at him, but it made my heart pound more.
Tira said inwardly as she slightly lowered her head, although occasionally unintentionally and involuntarily, her eyes glanced at Ernest who was so aware of Tira's actions, instantly revealing a respectful smile to him, makes Tira's heart jump up and down in there.
"I'll just go along with the decision of the group leader and the others." Tira finally answered Bram's question, after some time before he was still busy calming himself from his heartbeat due to Ernest's whereabouts.
"What about you, Ernest?" While saying his words, Bram looked towards the smiling Ernest while raising one of his eyebrows.
"If I think, let's just try to get you to play the instrument you want. We still have time to practice. If Janetta does have a hard time, we can change our initial formation." Ernest's words that sounded wise, made the others nod their heads in an agreeable manner.
"OK then. Now it's time to set the song we're going to play. We're gonna take an old song and rearrange it, or we're gonna pick up a song that young people know now?" Bram again asked while opening the phone screen, where he was before leaving for campus had recorded some songs that he thought were good to be performed in the strains of instrumental music.
“Love is blue seems like it will be suitable for us to play.” Janetta gave her advice.
“Love is blue owned by Paul Mauriat is indeed widely played in the type of instrumental music. But can we choose a song that doesn't tell us about heartbreak? We in fish are young, it helps us choose a song about love only.” Bram's words made Janetta take a deep breath, then nod her head in agreement.
“Then…. How about A Thousand Years Christina Perri?” Ernest unknowingly looked straight at Tira as soon as Tira mentioned about the song A thousand Years which was his favorite song, and he often played with his favorite saxsofone.
“I agree...” Both Bram and Janetta immediately agreed, making Tira smile.
“That's on one of my choice song lists as well. In that case, how about we try practicing now before our next meeting?” Bram said as he got up from his seat, followed by the others.

The sound of the piano twang as an intro of the song to be performed they flowed accompanied by a smile from the lips of Ernest who was happy to see firsthand how the girl he adored was playing fingers flick it on a piano with a serious face and live.
A few seconds later, the other music was immediately heard accompanying the sound of the piano playing Tira.
