The Perfect Match
Played piano
They entered a fairly large room, Ken thought this music room has several complete musical instruments. However, his expectations are not in accordance with reality. In this spacious room, there is a round red carpet that is held in the middle of the room.
An old black piano was still so smooth and shiny, making Kenrich involuntarily move his finger slowly, he had not played the instrument for a long time, or rather when he was sitting on the bench in college. The piano was located at the end of the round weeping carpet, with a small vase on it.
Ken's eyes began to stare at a beautiful Gramophone. Maybe for the millennial era there are not many people who have this old music device, given the development of digital in this world, make anyone can hear music more easily even when wherever the music has become the sound of dancing in the ear. Some vinyl records neatly arranged in a special box, “You can play the piano, Ken?” Alex asked, awakening Ken who was observing the avoidance of these old things.
“Can I touch it?” Ask Ken. Alex nodded his head and laughed.
“Try. It is indeed made to use.”
Ken slowly walked up to the piano, pulled up a small chair and sat there firmly. “If I still remember it.” Ken said with a slight laugh. Already a few years ago and Ken doubted with the expertise of his fingers that used to be so easy to memorize every note.
The big finger began to press a few notes lightly, more precisely for heating. After feeling enough, Ken began to press and remember, but as if he had memorized it so deeply, Ken's fingers were so smooth.
“I know what song this is.” Screeched Alex cheerfully. Even without the person singing, the tone released already feels quite representative.
Valerie folded her hands together on the chest. The song was written by When A Man Loves A Women. This song is perfect for a man who is in love with a woman of his dreams. If not wrong, this classic song was performed for the first time by Percy Sledge in 1966. The song has also been remake many times by several famous musicians, one of which is Michael Bolton in 1991.
The woman could not take her eyes off the perfect Ken. If that guy wasn't a jerk now, maybe Valerie would have grown in love. Unconsciously, the sound of the piano was finished, but Valerie's eyes were still focused on Kenrich.
As if Valerie's gaze patted her delicate shoulder, Ken immediately turned his head, making their eyes meet and that teasing glint again displayed Ken.
“It's just a musical instrument grandpa.” Ken replied more gently, if the one speaking was a woman it might be more precisely a timid remark.
“But you've always been amazing at all things Ken.” With a small laugh at the end of the sentence, Alex patted Ken's shoulder gently. Then someone came into the room. Their age looks almost the same. Seen from the wrinkles that are already visible on their faces and hands. His second body still looked healthy without any visible hump.
The two hugged tightly and started a nostalgic talk. Introducing Valerie and Kenrich. As if unaware of the other figure, the two of them were so coolly chatting on a chair while installing one of the black plates. A waiter came in and put a drink in the middle of the glass table. Make this room feel a classic-themed cafe.
Ken drinks the drink first, and Valerie follows him. The two people who were reunion were completely uninterrupted, their stock chat seemed so long and exciting. Making the two younger generations look bored in their place, “Did you just find out that I could play the piano?” Ask Ken who first opened his voice.
“No. Given your many lovers, maybe you learned to pull them using musical instruments since adolescence.” Ken can't stand not smiling.
“Not for lovers. More precisely for my Mom, who was then her birthday and the song became the song she liked the most when she was a teenager.” Ken said without looking at Valerie's face, the man focused on the two old grandfathers who were hilariously chatting. Well, maybe behind Ken's jerk attitude he still has a heart for both his parents.
