You are my strength when I am weak.

I jumped to my bed after I threw my school bag to the left side of my bed. Today was tiring, with classes and band practice in the evening after school. And not to forget the tour I have with Adrian. I'm not complaining, but a little grievance won't hurt.

I was thinking about taking a bath when someone knocked my bedroom door. "Yes?".

The door was opened with papa slowly entered my room. "How are you my lil girl?", he asked and spread his arm ready for a hug.

"Papa! It's you?!", I said excitedly and ran into his embrace before continue to talk. "I'm fine, as always. And better with you here", I tightened my hug. Me being me, always my papa's babygirl.

After a while, he slowly loosen the hug and pat my head. "Go take shower first, I've already cooked your favorite meal, the Spicy Crabie. After shower, join me and mom down there at the dining room. Better be fast or else mom and I will finish all the crabs".

"You will never do that, I know". Papa chuckled and slowly closed the door as he went back to the dining room. What a surprise, I didn't went to kitchen after arrived from school not knowing papa will be there cooking my favorite meal that I called 'the Spicy Crabie' after papa successfully tried the new recipe for the sauce few years ago.

So excited with papa back at home. And felt grateful in the same time. He was a doctor at our nearby hospital when one day help was needed for doctors to come and help in the area with war. I forgot where it was but I know things were terribly happened there and many were injured everyday. When papa heard there were offers for any doctors to come and help, he, the man with golden heart decided to take the offers with few of his other colleagues.

At first mom and I (I'm the only child) tried to stop him because his safety was not guaranteed, but no matter what we said to him, it was useless. So instead of trying harder to convince him to stay, we let him go with faith and prayers everyday and look at him, he made it back to home sweet home in one piece.

After finished showering and putting cloths on, I went straight down to the dining room and found mama and papa were talking romantically like a lovebird. Well I can see why, 3 years were a long duration of time. As soon as their eyes met my figure, the told me to sit and the feast began. One good news for today, papa will stay here and work at the nearby same hospital again as another group of doctors have decided to replace them. Finish eating, I went back to my room although I actually wanted to talk more with my papa, but he reminded me that I still have to go to school tomorrow and need enough rest, I think it's best for me to listen to him. To get enough rest for myself and um... to give mama and papa their time to be alone together.

I rest my whole body on my cozy bed. Closed my eyes for a second, enjoying the sense of relaxation on my entire body after a quiet long day.

Tettet...

My phone rang as a notice that a text have been received. With eyes closed I took my phone on the small side table. "What business do someone have to do with me this late?", I wondered.

Unknown number: 'Good evening. Is this Elisha?'

I frowned. "Okay this is so weird", I said to myself. Questioned myself whether to reply the text or to ignore it.

Unknown number: 'Sorry to disturb you late at night but I have to ask you questions about the club.'
Unknown number: 'This is me, Adrian Jeckel and this is a very urgent matter'.
Unknown number: 'So if you are the real Elisha, I would appreciate it if you can reply it now'.

Oh! The new students. I tapped the screen, ready to reply.

You: 'Good evening too. Yes this is Elisha. What it is that you want to ask me?'.
Adrian: 'Thank goodness I finally get the right number. I actually want to ask about how to use the music practice room. Mr Jack told me to replace Alta for tomorrow evening event because he is sick and cannot make it tomorrow evening'.
You: 'You mean the piano performance for director's birthday celebration?'
Adrian: 'Yep. I'm thinking about maybe I can practice for a while before the event'.
You: 'Oh sure. I have the music room keys with me but I can't give it to you because I have agreed not to give anyone else this room keys for safety so I'll be there with you while you practicing. How about that?".
Adrian: 'Great! So see you tomorrow'.
You: 'Yes, in front of the music room. Exactly on 4.30pm. Don't be late, you have to arrive before I turn into a cat monster'.
Adrian: 'That's hilarious hahaha. Okay thank you Elisha. Goodnight.'

I put my phone back to the side table. "Ugh more long tiring day to come", I said that before slowly drowned into a deep sleep.

🌸

I entered the music room and Adrian followed me from the back. "Welcome to our music room. We have tried our best to buy the best and complete set of musical instruments and I hope this will not disappoint you", I said jokingly.

"I'm not disappoint at all. This is great!", he look around with excitement sparkled from his eyes. His eyes wandered from one instrument to another. His eyes then stop on me, "I must say you are a great woman leader. I can see why the club members love it to be here".

I chuckled. "You know what Adrian. I'm trying my best and still learning".

"But he is not wrong, Elisha. You are a great leader", someone interrupted. As I look behind me, Alta was standing at the entrance. "Hey, how are you?" I asked concerned.

"Good. But I have appointment with doctor this evening. But I'm here to help Adrian because he is not familiar with the song for this evening", she look at Adrian and greeted him. He greeted back while a big smile. Looks like they already introduced themselves to one another and my shipper-self suddenly appear.

"I don't know why but you guys look cute together", I stop talking to see what are their reactions. Both of them laughed, looked at each other and said in sync, "I hope you are right".

Positive feedback.
"So I'll just leave you both here for the practice. After you guys finish, please give me a call", I said walking to the door.

"And please, no making out on the instruments", I said before I closed the door and heard them both laughed again.
