My boy, I Love You
Chapters 14. Preclusion

"Be reasonable. I'll disappear for a while. Don't call me until things get back to normal." Ray hung up after giving some instructions.

"Ray, are you involved in anything?" asked Lia worriedly.

"Someone ransacked my company" he said uneasily.

"Do you better solve your problems before our marriage. I'll wait for you, Ray."

Ray breathed heavily. The burden of his mind and the delay of his marriage were just as heavy for him.

For some reason, Lia was increasingly doubtful of her decision. What exactly is going on? Is Ray involved?

"Mrs. Sam, please. I don't want to play this song. This song is not very challenging" Leon said in a pleading tone. He took his violin off his shoulder.

"You have to fulfill the wishes of the race committee. Practice and make the song have its own charm." Sam supported the boy who was a manyun in front of him.

"Ah, I really can't take it anymore. That's not fair." Leon pouting. He's very angry.

"Leon, don't waste your time with a debate. Practice before your performance later this afternoon." Samuel warned Leon firmly.

"I'm just gonna play the song he's playing." Leon still insisted on the decision.

"You're gonna complicate the jury's decision, Leon."

"So, you want me to get out of this competition by winning him fraudulently?"

"No cheating, Leon."

"What is the so-called no cheating if he has studied his material a week before the others?"

"Alright, if you insist. Play the song as you please. We will not change the material for his appearance. But remember, your appearance is only a few hours away. It would look ridiculous if your appearance was far below that of him who has been practicing for a long time." Samuel knew it would be useless for him to argue with that stubborn little boy.

The little boy smiled displaying a row of white and neatly arranged teeth. "I will get rid of you, Jonas," he said in his heart.

Samuel really did not expect that Leon would still play his opponent's song.

The atmosphere that afternoon was very bright. Outside the streets are very crowded. Likewise, the excitement in the event building. So many spectators sat in the chairs provided below the stage. Four chairs lined up in front of the stage.

The jury went into the room. While the floodlights followed their respective steps to their seats. They waved their hands to the spectators who applauded loudly.

The participants showed each other their abilities. A boisterous applause in the air every participant finished showing his abilities.

Leon walked to the center of the stage. He bowed politely to the judges who were staring at him waiting for his appearance.

Leon started lifting his violin. The little boy took a deep breath, placed his hand on the violin neck and propped his chin on the chinrest of the violin. Then swipe the bow gently and soulfully.

The song "Just the Way You Are" is soft but full of energy in every sound. Each pitch is played in perfect tempo.

Leon brought it to perfection, he moved with energy as the feeling poured in a beautiful song.

The entire building became silent enjoying the sound of the violin and bow combined. Until the show is over.

All the spectators applauded. Rumbling sounds and tweets blared all over the room for the smallest participant that time.

Including from the table of the four judges who lurked the participants of the competition.

"Wow.. wow... . Leonard Savero, we meet again. And I think your violin is getting more amazing" Miss Erry commented. "Didn't you change your decision and become my foster child in this competition."

"Thank you Miss Erry. That's very flattering to me." Leonard bowed politely to the female jury's one-please. "I'm pretty satisfied to be in a quarantine house right now."

"Lear leonard, you broke my heart back with your refusal" said Miss Erry. "I just want to hear your violin friction every day greeting me."

"Yeah, Erry you can visit Samuel's house if you want to hear him practice. It's very simple, isn't it," Joe said with a chuckle.

"Joe, no need to comment on my words. You're here to comment on the competition participants, not the judges" Miss Erry replied.

"Already, why do you always make a fuss at competition events like this. Should I file a jury replacement for one of you?" Samuel mediates.

The atmosphere became relaxed and comfortable because of the jokes of the judges. Of course this is a strategy for boring events to be alive and not monotonous.

"Leon, from the first moment I saw you perform, I was already very impressed. You're young, skilled, talented and smart" Joe said.

"Thank you".

"Your song understanding is good, your inprovisation is very good. You can express something that the song wants to convey very well. One word from me, amazing."

"Joe, realize it's two words" said Miss Erry with a laugh.

"OKAY. Two words, Erry. Amazing, Leonard." Joe clapped his hands once more, followed by a rumble from all corners of the room.

And a guest judge, Mr. Mike, also commented. "A wonderful violin game for a kid as small as you, Leonard. How old are you?"

"Seven years, sir."

"alright. How long have you been practicing for the music you just played." Questions he never asked.

"I only heard it once. And I like that song. So I brought it this time."

"So there are two participants with the same song playing this song. Leonard with his violin and Jonas with his piano." The entire building fell silent, waiting for the continuation of the statement of the famous guest jury did not like the fraud. "How can Jonas learn it for a week while he doesn't have time."

"That's enough" said Mr. Mike.

"Wait, wait, wait." Joe interrupted. "You're supposed to judge the violin, Mike."

Mike laughed, "Yes yes, of course I agree with your previous comments. He is indeed amazing. Bringing her a song she just knew even improvised it so perfectly."

A clap of applause was heard from all over the room.

After the competition, Lia rushed backstage to meet her son. With a sense of confusion, he searched all over the building.

He found Leon and Samuel in the garden. A ray of anger came from Samuel's face. Lia looked confused, she did not understand the reason for Sam's anger.

"So desperate you keep using that song for this competition. What exactly is your plan? I can't understand it" said Samuel. "Explain to me."

"What are you doing, Sam? Shouldn't you be proud, your guidance boy got away in this round." Lia's starting to get inflamed.

"Be aware, he already had his own song to play. But look, he caused his friend to be eliminated." Samuel started to press his voice as low as possible.

"Right, I want to get rid of Jonas," the little boy let out his voice.
