It was complete silence!
The street became exceptionally quiet as everyone fixed their gazes on Darryl.
Lily stood there mystified with her heart almost jumping out of her chest.
'Is Darryl... going to perform for me on the spot? He never mentioned that he knew how to play the piano..."
Darryl walked to the piano and took a seat. He stretched his fingers and gently placed them on the piano keyes.
Learning the piano was one of the compulsory skills in the Darby family. He learned to play the paino for two years with a world-famous pianist Baker when he was still with his family.
However, it had been three or four years since the last time he practiced.
A crew emerged from the crowd with a microphone when Darryl was seated and he placed it in front of Darryl.
Four stylish men walked over and stood behind Darryl, each carrying a guitar.
Wow.
The crowd was boiling with enthusiasm at that instant.
The four guitarist were not just anyone, they were the most popular rock band FBY!
Did he really hire FBY to foil his performance?
Many young girls were screaming and beaming with excitement.
The crowd took out their phones to film Darryl.
Darryl smiled as he looked around before finally settling his gaze on Lily. He said "Honey, it has been three years since we got married but I haven't got to do anything romantic to you."
"Everyone criticize me saying that I'm a live-in son-in-law and treated me with disdain throughout these three years."
"They have been mocking you for getting married to a piece of trash but none of them thought that you suffered a lot too. I'm sorry."
"We have let each other down in the past, but we will not relive that in our future days."
Wow!
Lily became the spotlight when the crowd shifted their gazes to her.
Lily's tears were welling up as she stared at Darryl without blinking.
Finally, Darryl placed his fingers on the piano gently and started playing.
Darryl smiled and fixed his gaze on Lily as he sang "I could not forget your charming eyes when we first met..."
"Your figure haunted my mind..."
"Feeling your grace while holding your hands, I could not breathe. I want to appreciate your innocence, I want to share your sadness when you are upset."
Darryl's voice was gentle yet magnetic. It was as if a singer was actually there.
The girls in the crowd screamed!
Lily covered her mouth in awe as her tears poured down uncontrollably!
Overwhelmed with excitement and emotions, Lily was unable to speak. She felt as if she was the happiest woman in the world.
The song ended. Darryl stared at Lily with a gentle smile as he opened his arms slowly.
"Honey!"
Lily's tears streamed as she ran into Darryl's arms without hesitation!
"Bravo!"
Someone started clapping, leading to thunderous applause!
Darryl hugged Lily tight. It was their first hug in three years.
Snap.
Darryl raised an arm and snapped his finger.
Explosive noises filled up the sky!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The crowd looked up to the sky to see streamers which exploded into fireworks in the sky!
"How beautiful!"
The girls were beaming with emotions as they screamed while pointing at the sky.
The sky was filled with bright and colorful lights which illuminated a huge part of teh city as if there was meteor rain!
Two names appeared in the sky when the biggest fireworks exploded.
Darryl Darby, Lily Lyndon!
A striking red heart was lit between both names! Wow...
The passerby exclaimed one after another. Lily was at a loss for words. She held Darryl tightly and asked in a quivering voice "Honey, is this real? Am I dreaming?"
Her teardrops fell one after another. She was overwhelmed with emotions.
Darryl smiled as he stared at her "Do you like the surprise?"
'Did Paul bought off every single firework in the city?'
Lily was overwhelmed with happiness as she nodded. She rested her face on Darryl's chest. "Yes, I love it..."
