The bond between us.

Today is the big day for Lily. She is wearing a beautiful, picturesque, long, white ball gown with a pinkish veil covering her gorgeous face while she is grabbing a bundle of colorful roses.

The atmosphere is filled with happiness, pleasure and tranquility which is harmonious with delightful and graceful Lily. The glamorous fragrance coming from flowers at the corners of this white room is influencing everyone to have a piece of relaxing soul in hustle and bustle life of New York citizens.

"You are beautiful in white" said Cassandra with a huge, broad smile that is curving till they reach the boundaries of her blue ocean eyes.

  "Oh, Cassandra you are too beautiful in white.", said Lily while hugging her tightly with her hands on her waist. The melody of Beautiful in White by Westlife is covering the room warmly.

Lily Yang and Cassandra share the same neighborhood had same classes at school. Cassandra didn't like the style of Lily who was a timid and shy girl and barely talked in team work. Although she knew that she shouldn't have judged a book by its cover, she couldn't have looked down on her because of her behavior.

Meanwhile, Cassandra could be said to be one of the most popular girls at school because she actively participated in group works and school dance. Cassandra was confident in every work she did. She thought that everything she did is right.

They were not friends until Cassandra joined the piano class in which Lily had been learning for 3 years. Cassandra found it deadly difficult to learn the chords and to play with two hands simultaneously.

At that time, Lily was able to play flawlessly most of the songs. When Cassandra first heard Lily's playing, she couldn't have believed her ears. She felt out of the blue. It sounded like being played by a professional. She couldn't have helped admiring her art. It was the first time she realized that she had been wrongly judging on Lily.

She felt very guilty and she said extremely sorry to Lily one day at the piano class. Lily was remarkably over the moon that Cassandra was talking to her.

From that day, they practiced piano together at Lily's house as Lily's house was a better and bigger place for playing piano. Lily tried her best to help Cassandra. She encouraged her whenever Cassandra failed to reach the desired level.

They both spend days and nights together, sharing up and down moments of life, gossiping, giggling and understanding each other. There were times they made mistakes, they argued and felt uneasy to face each other but after all they couldn't be separated.

Lily is communicating with Cassandra in a unique way, not by words we usually do but by the flow of melody she was creating. Lily expressed her feeling through the vibration music.

After many years has passed, the time has come. Today is the wedding of Lily and unsurprisingly Cassandra become her bridesmaid. Their bond became stronger and stronger.
