Chapter 9: Miracles happen
"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!..." The house was filled with their voices.
Voices full of happiness, enthusiasm and optimism. The magic was in all the nooks
and crannies of the house. Decorations in white, red and gold have painted house
with miraculous beauty, and the look would be finished in couple of minutes.
She wore white soft pajamas, which made her look so childish, but it gave her a
pleasant feeling of coziness. Yet, he felt a little bit strange, as he hadn't decorated a
Christmas since he was thirteen. But with her he could feel the magic again. Lifting
up the colourful balls, he recalled thousands of memories, which were forgotten for
so many years, and now they wrapped his soul like a silk blanket and made him
believe in Christmas miracle again.
- No, darling, it doesn't look good there. Let's put it here.
- Okay… what about this one?
- Oh, it will perfectly fit with this one, let's put them together...like this...great!
- Yes, I like it too.
- So, all of them are your childhood toys?
- Yes, as a child I didn't play music that much, so collecting toys was my hobby.
- So, we can surely say that maestros aren't born, they're made?
He laughed
- Yes, we can.
She picked up the last toy which was the most beautiful one.
- I guess, this one is for the ridge. Could you help me? I think, I won't reach it -
she said with slight smile and cheeks turning red.
- I guess, I've got to call you "An Autumn Child", and not "Lady" - he said
through the laughter.
While he was trying to fit the toy, she stealthily put a very beautiful box under the
tree.
- Done. Now, it's perfect!
- Yes, I like it too. But look under it, I think, Santa has brought something for
you.
- Oh, what could it be!
Her eyes were full of enthusiasm and fear, he ripped the box open and went smiling.
- It's the best present ever, thank you, honey!
- Oh, I was so much afraid that you won't like it, now, I am glad. You're
welcome!
- Yes, but Santa has brought something for you as well. Look in those socks.
She took a little box out of the sock, opened it, and her eyes sparkled like newborn
stars, her smile seemed to be spread all over her face.
- Really?? are you serious, Maestro??
- More than ever!
- Oh my God, yes!!
She hugged him so tight, that he seemed to run out of breath. But it didn't matter
their happiness took over everything.
- Look, it's Kevin - she shouted suddenly.
- Who? - he asked surprised.
- Kevin. I mean, it's the film "Home alone". Come on, sit on the sofa, I'll bring
hot chocolate with marshmallows, we've got to enjoy it.
- Ok, and when it ends we will go to the city center, right?
- Sure.
When the film ended they dressed and drove off. When they got to the center, they
parked the car and went on walking through the crowd. Hundreds of people were
walking with happy faces. Children were taking photos with Santa, dogs were playing
frantically with snow, teenagers were playing snowballs and different songs from
different parts of the street complimented the picture. They got to the Christmas tree,
where all the people gathered. They were waiting to say goodbye to this year, and
finally they started to count the last ten seconds of the decade.
- 10...9...8...7...6...5! 4! 3! 2!
Square bells rang all over the city, but people were shouting much louder. The
fireworks wrapped the sky, people stretched their hands as if they wanted to touch it.
The bottles of champagne emptied into glasses and taking them people were
hugging each other, even strangers. They wanted to wish the best to others, as their
hearts were full of kindness.
They took two glasses of champagne
- Happy New Year, Maestro!
- Happy New Year, my Autumn Lady!
The past was frozen holding all the tears, laughter, anguish, joy and regrets in it. The
air was full of happiness and warmth exuded from people's hearts, the giant X-mass
tree was standing in the center and seemed to smile to all of them. The snowflakes
were falling down covering everything with white and intact cover for people to write
the new stories of their lives. Thousands of wishes were hanging in the air and the
magic was ready to bring them all to life.
When all the congratulations, screams and laughter went silent, the world famous
song turned on. It was ABBA's "Happy New Year". Somewhere in that huge crowd
you could descry a couple, who went into a linger dance and both of them were
whispering the song. Maestro held his Lady so tight that all the broken pieces of her
heart again merged into a single whole. And she was just looking up - admiring the
moon through the foggy air. And the moon was admiring them as well, after all, it
knew that Maestro and The Autumn Lady have got to be together for the whole
eternity.
