Imagination II Winrina

Chapter 3

It's a beautiful life

It's a beautiful life

Just as I was about to sing the next verse to the song, a familiar scent alerts me making me flinch. I whipped my head up and see Karina smiling down at me with those apologizing looks for interrupting me.

"I'm sorry! I didn't want to bother you I swear!" She explains and I couldn't help but smile at her. 

"It's fine," I blush, clearing my throat at the sudden silence in the room. She grabbed a chair and sat near me where she can see me playing the keys.

"Was that an original song?" She asks formally but I can see through her tone how she was excited. I feel my cheeks burning at the question. "It's a nice song, I won't bash you," She chuckles and I couldn't help but feel my heart flip at her honestly.

"D-Do you want me to continue?" I stuttered, my heart about to burst because she's going to listen to one of the songs I've written for her. 

"If it's alright with you, please do," She smiles widely and I quickly avert my gaze back to the piano before I fall through her intimidating stare.

It's a beautiful life

I'll always protect you

It's a beautiful life

So lean on me

beautiful love

Your tears, your smile

So we can be together

It's a beautiful life

Look at me go on, I don't know what has gotten into me. If only love was a disease then I could give it to her and maybe she'd like me too. Why must it be so hard? I wish we could go far if we tried but I know she'll never see me that way. 

beautiful day

I loved you like crazy

beautiful life beautiful day

I don't wanna lose you

beautiful my love

beautiful your heart

It's a beautiful life

I took a quick look at her and I see her smiling at me like she was enjoying the song. I unconsciously smiled as I continued to sing.

Memories that resemble you

Remain with me

Your memories, your recollections

It's a sorrowful life

sorrowful day

 Please don't look at me, I'm melting. Because every time it happens, I feel my heart sinking deeper with my emotions.

I can't win over sadness

sorrowful life sorrowful day

So don't leave me

So I won't live just in your memories

It's a beautiful life

As I finish the song, I nervously turn to the side to see her. We stare at each other, just us two, all alone in the quiet room. Nervous and shy smiles turned into big smiles. 

"Wow, that was amazing," She says, still unable to comprehend what she heard or to formulate her words.

"Was it?" I ask genuinely, rubbing a hand at the back of my neck to ease my nerves.

"Yes!" She agrees making me smile in adoration. "It was beautiful, the lyrics and everything!" She explains and I smile wider at the comment. 

"If you don't mind me asking, what inspired you to write the song? Like what's the story behind the song?"

I feel my heart beating at the question. Was she seriously asking me this? Fuck. I nervously play with my fingers as I tried to explain it to her the easiest way possible.

"There's this girl I like actually," I say and she exclaims.

"Does she know?" I shake my head making her frown.

"Why? She's missing out on a talented person like you!" She groans, wanting to scold whoever the girl I liked was.

Silly, it's you.

"It's fine. I don't think she likes me back anyway," "I say in a calm voice but then she crossed her arms.

"She's dumb I tell you," She scoffs.

Not really. If anyone should be dumb, it's me.

"I don't think so,"

"Why are you defending her?"

"Trust me, you wouldn't want to do that," I smile as she tries to think of anyone in this big university who she wouldn't yell at. I chuckle at how cute she looks right now.

Do I have a chance with you, Karina? Because if I have then maybe I'll confess to you. But not now, I'm contented with what we have so far. I hope you don't disappear.

I hope you realize that not only am I writing this story. I am also sharing songs. See you on the next chapter!  

Btw, I don't think all chapters are filled with music. If you get what I mean.
