The Forbidden Love

CHAPTER 3: Joy to the night

LIRA POV:

One afternoon when I came home from school I saw my mother and father talking to our neighbor in front of our house, I was about to go straight inside our house but my father called me to include me in their conversation.

Ryan: This is my daughter, she just had her birthday, she is 11 years old.

Zorem: Oh! she is two years older than my daughter, my daughter is 9 years old on his birthday tomorrow.

Emma: So we invite you sister and brother tomorrow for my daughter's birthday.

Ryan: Greet your daughter a Happy Birthday for me!
*smiled*

Lara: Yes we will attend there tomorrow!

Emma: How are you beautiful? I think you should come and play with our daughter Ezra sometimes if you wanted, you are always welcome to our house.

Lira: I usually go out side but that sounds good.

Emma: I will tell that to Ezra, it would be great if you will be her friend, my daughter is shy.

And the conversation lasted too long, and I said goodbye to them because I was going to rest. As I lay on my bed I'm thinking because in a long time I haven't even met our neighbor who has a birthday, and I still haven't seen her since we moved here. I don't know her, but I want to know her.

I have many friend, some are far away and they have different places, long distance friendships can be difficult, but the reward of being in one, always outweighs the challenges that come with it, but showing your friend how much you cherish them from far away can be hard, so I think it's hard to find a true and best friend, There are all various kinds of friends, and not every friend has to be super close. Some friends it is nice to share a specific interest with them, sometimes it is nice to share several interests with friends but not always, and that's okay.

It is nice to have a few really close and real friends too, at least but even if that doesn't happen, it's okay for me, I decide the quality of friendships that work best for you, and go for it. I think it can and will change over time depending on the current life circumstances. For me, It's easy to make friends, just be a friend. Treat people respectfully, and the way you would like to be treated in return. That is how I can have lots of friends! but the best friend is to be a friend to myself, In situation that if I am not truly a friend to myself, you will have never friends, who wants that? no one.

EZRA POV:

I am studying the next list of pieces, the piece of Beethoven "fate" I think that the pieces that I am studying is really difficult for me but I am going to be able to play and give a good mood for the listeners in school, my teacher told me to play piano on the program, I'm little nervous but it's normal. The real solution to performance anxiety is to perform more regularly on stage. Generally speaking, the more frequently I perform, the less nervous I will be.

With that being said, I do not be overly concerned with mistakes that I did and happened during every my performances. I treat my mistakes as an asset and lesson because they can and often do teach valuable lessons for me, After all, nothing can better tell I what to work on than the mistakes that happened in a performance.

In situations that I know beyond a doubt that I am well prepared, I know logically that there is no reason to be nervous. I prepare for the eventually that I might play faster when I am nervous and I practice both playing faster than I should and slower than I should. Therefore, if I do speed up it's not a disaster and I can purposely try to force myself to start slower than I want to on the day, it's probably about the right speed.

I Practice the song starting from different sections throughout the piece, and I don't always start from the start. I practising it from 8 bars in, 16 bars in, halfway, near the end... this helps me to know each section so well that if I mess up in a random place-instead of being shocked and stopping there and then I can carry on from a nearby place without too much difficulty.

My mom and dad said goodbye to go shopping for a while but I waited too long, so I fell asleep. I was just taking a nap but I heard my mom and dad talking, so I went to see them....

Ezra: Why did you take too long??

Zorem: We just talked to our neighbor honey to invite them to your birthday tomorrow and as well as our relative, and our churchmates..

Emma: How about your friends, will they attend?

Zorem: Yes, darling, our daughter's friends are always supports her, rightt honey??

Ezra: Maybe so, but only 𝑦𝑢𝑟𝑖 is going to my birthday because my other friends aren't allowed.

Suddenly my mother hugged me while I was very sad.

Zorem: That's ok, honey, we have next time, don't be sad because you're going to be a birthday girl tomorrow!!!

Perhaps I was made happy by my parents cheering me up.

Emma: It's bedtime our little princess, we love you!!

We did a group hug and my mom took me to the bed to put me to sleep.

Emma: Your birthday will be happy and beautiful honey, have a nice dreams, goodnight sleepwell.

Ezra: I love you too mom, I cannot wait for tommorow!!
*sigh*

Emma: Tommorow is your day, rest now, we love you honey...
*smiled*

And she hugged me with a sweet and soft kiss in my forehead. When I closed my eyes I fell asleep.
