Be My Strength
/ Be My Strength Chapter 188
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 .
Just as he was about to turn around, he heard the music . It was the same music, but somehow, it felt sadder now .
Young Callum stood there and while the music was playing, he could not help but to turn and looked at the girl . She did not notice that he was looking at her .
When the music came to an end, Young Callum immediately turned around .
Without looking at him, the girl pointed out, "You promised to leave immediately…"
Even though he was reluctant to leave, he nodded . After all, a promise is a promise .
"Alright…"
However, when he tried to turn the knob, it would not budge . "Weird…The lock . . . "
With a bored voice, the girl told him, "It's broken . You can only open it from the outside . "
He frowned, "Are you locked in here?"
Ignoring his question, she replied to him with another question, "You are strong enough to kick down the door, aren't you?"
Young Callum shrugged . She was right . He had broken heavier door than this .
"HAA!!!"
It took only one well-aimed kick for the door to fling open . Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment as he thought about what to say to her . He wanted to say something that would make him look smarter and cooler but he was unable to think of anything .
After a while, he sighed inwardly and said, "I will leave first . I guess . . . I guess I will see you around sometimes . "
. . . …
"So, did you managed to see her?" asked Kai Xin . She was so into Callum's story that she failed to realize that they had arrived at her destination .
Callum shrugged, "No . . . I asked around but no one knows of a girl of her description . I checked the drama club, the music club, even the cosplayer club, but no one heard of her . The only thing closest to someone of her description is a boy . "
"I told you . She was a figment of your teenage fueled imagination," said DX dryly . Turning to Kai Xin, he ruffled her hair and said, "We are here . "
She gave DX a quick kiss on the lips before getting out of the car . Before she closed the door, she looked at Callum, "Anyway, kid . . . I hope that DX is wrong and that you will find your goddess soon . "
After she left, Callum frowned, "Kid? I'm older than her!"
With a deadpan expression, DX said, "You are also more childish than her . "
