Rayee was lost in the enchanting melodies emanating from her violin as she practiced in the music room. The room, with its walls adorned with musical posters, provided her solace from the chaotic world outside. Nakakahumaling na huni ng kaniyang violin ang naririnig sa kahit saang sulok ng silid. Musikang tila nanghihikayat ng damdamin na pakinggan ang kay gandang himig ng tugtugin. Na kung papakinggan ng kung sino man ay tila nalulunod sa kay gandang himig ng tugtog.
Just as she finished a particularly moving piece, the sound of applause startled her. Rayee turned around, her heart pounding, to find Ethan standing by the doorway, a smile on his face. Hindi niya inaasahan na may tao palang nanonood at nakikinig sa kaniyang musika. Nakatitig siya na hindi malaman kung anong gagawin sa nasaksihan.
Ethan leaned against the door frame, captivated by Rayee's music. "That was incredible," he said, his voice filled with genuine admiration. Pumapalakpak na lumapit si Ethan sa tumutugtog ng musikang kasingganda ng binibining nakatayong nakatitig sa kaniya.
Minutes when Rayee realized that she was already staring at the guy standing right in front of her. She blushed, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Oh, thank you. I didn't realize anyone was here." Nahihiyang sambit ng dalaga.
Ethan took a step closer, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "I couldn't resist coming in when I heard such beautiful music. You have an incredible talent." Pagpupuri ng binata sa dalaga. Hindi niya maitago ang paghangang kitang kita sa kaniyang kulay berde na mga mata.
Rayee's cheeks flushed even deeper as she glanced down at her violin. "I... I appreciate that. It's just something I love doing." Hindi na niya naisip pa kung gaano kapula ang kaniyang mukha. Paulit ulit na naglalaro sa kaniyang isipan ang pagpuri ng binata sa kaniya. Hindi pa niya maranasan ang mapuri sa isang estrangherong katulad ng binata.
Ethan's smile widened. "Well, you're doing more than just loving it. You're touching hearts with your music. I'm Ethan, by the way. Ethan Montefalco". Pagpapakilala ng binata sa kaniya. Inabot ni Ethan ang kaniyang kamay hudyat ng pakikipagkamay sa kaniya. Dali dali namang inabot ni Rayee ang kamay ng binata.
Rayee smiled back, feeling a warmth spread through her. "I'm Rayee. Rayee Valdemort. It's nice to meet you, Ethan." Labis ang saya ni Rayee habang hawak hawak ang kamay ng binata na tila ayaw na niyang bitawan.
As they exchanged pleasantries, Rayee couldn't help but notice the stack of papers in Ethan's hands. "Are those your writings?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
Ethan nodded, his eyes lighting up. "Yes, they're the stories I've been working on. I'm passionate about writing and hope to publish my own novel someday."
Rayee's eyes widened with genuine interest. "That's amazing! I've always admired writers. They have this incredible power to transport people to different worlds through their words."
Ethan chuckled. "And musicians have the power to touch people's hearts with their melodies. We're kindred spirits, Rayee."
As they continued to talk, the conversation flowed effortlessly. They discovered shared interests in literature, music, and the desire to make a lasting impact through their art. There was an instant connection, as if they were two halves of a harmonious whole.
Little did Rayee and Ethan know that this serendipitous encounter would be the start of a remarkable journey—a journey filled with love, passion, and the intertwining melodies of their hearts.
