บท 188: I'm older than her!

Young Callum thought he heard some sort of confusion in her voice. However, he ignored it as he said, "Yes...You played beautifully earlier and if it is ok with you...I would really like to hear it again…"

The girl frowned and asked, "Why should I play for you?"

"Ah…" Young Callum could not answer her. However, he admitted, "It's fine if you don't feel like it. It's just that...The music reminded me of my parents…"

"Your parents?"

Young Callum did not know why he told her but he did, "They passed away many years ago."

After a while, the girl said gruffly, "Turned around and face the door. I'll play it once for you and once I'm done, you will leave the room immediately. Is that Ok with you?"

Young Callum did not know why the girl was being so mysterious but he nodded and did as he was told. Facing the door, he wondered why the girl took so long. He heard footsteps earlier and he was sure that she was already standing in front of the piano.
