Adagio

Chapter 7

 Today was Coda's birthday and we organized a surprise party for him , with all his friends and he seems to have enjoyed it. But the minute he realized we were at a piano concert his face lit up and the night sky was no comparison.

" It's about to start Coda. Do you need to use the bathroom first?" I whispered into his ears.

He shook his head , his eyes never leaving the stage where a grand piano is waiting for the artist to play it.

I squeezed Jace hand and kissed it. " Thank you for this , you made my son very happy."

He smiled and kissed my forehead.

" It's worth seeing your reaction to seeing your son so happy."

I chuckled softly and kissed him.

The crowd all hushed and the Maestro bowed to the spectators.

Not a single sound was heard until he raised his hand the the music filled our ears.

The first pianist played Chopin's Nocturne in E-flat major.

Coda's eyes sparkled and I couldn't take my eyes off the pianist.

The music touched my soul and tears began to flow from my eyes.

Anyone who learns the piano can play it , but only a true pianist can move people with their playing. It was a magnificent thing to witness. I turned to Coda he too had tears to his eyes but he was smiling. I wiped his eyes and pulled his tiny hands in mine. He turned to me and smiled but soon focused on the pianist again.

When the first act was finished everybody clapped with joy. It was amazing.

The second pianist played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in C-Minor.

Another beautiful masterpiece.

This was one of my favorites. When I try to play it , I noticed how hard this composition is and how much it's filled with emotions. Dark and sad emotions but also vibrant and beautiful , just like the night.

Other pianist played Mozart and Bach, all founders of why I love the piano. There exquisite music makes my soul vibrate with emotions.

Lastly every musician finished off the Mozart's Requiem Mass in D-minor.

I didn't notice that I was holding my breath until the last note was hit.

After everyone was gone , me and Coda sat still looking at the palk. Jace grabbed my hand in his and squeezed.

When I turned to look at him he smiled and nudged for us to leave , they needed to close the place.

I turned to Coda. He took a deep breath and smiled to me.

" Let's go home."

He nodded.

When we arrived home , Coda went running to the kitchen grabbing a pen and a paper.

He wrote : Do you think I can be like them when I grow up?

I smiled and knelt down to face him.

" Sweetheart , you were born to be one of them."

Coda's face lit up and jumped on me.
