Maven of the Strings

Chapter Nine

Arkin POV

I've done playing the Jerry C's Canon Rock. A rock version of Johannes Pachelbel's Canon. A wedding music. Then they request to play it on electric guitar. Should I forgive them? Hahaha. Overwhelming patterns! They borrowed the electric guitar on a man there and let me to play again. And for sure, this novice girls-who is with ukulele will be impress much more.

And I play.

The sounds amplifies, so more people will be amaze. What an overwhelming experience. And when my performance tunes its last, Nicolette and her best friend grins. I've heard on Nicolette while talking Ukulele Girl. The crowds was fascinated and amazed on my performance but I heard on the girls,

"Best, can you do that?" And she smiles. LOL. How can she do that? For she was a novice. Hahaha. This two makes me happy in this way.

"Yes I can." She answered. Smiles at her and look at me. I have nothing to say. What? She said she can? Seriously? What the?

Nicolette grins at me and loudly speak to everyone. "Who believed that my best friend, this girl, can do what this guy did?" But no one raised their hand. Not even me. They just laugh. No one believes because she still holding her ukulele and at her beautiful face, she can't do that hard plucks and chords.

Nicolette says, "Let me borrowed the guitar." I heard the murmuring and critics whispers from the audience, just deny! And I gave the electric guitar to Ukulele Girl. She strums it to try and an echo of noise released and it was an eardrum beater. Ugh.

"Oops! Sorry sorry." She exclaimed. On that moment, nobody trust that she can do what I've did. The audience face disappointed that other get loose on the place. But I hope she can because for real, it was difficult.

"She can't do that." A girl from audience said while waiting her performance.

The other says, "She's so beautiful, but if she didn't do what the guy did, it was her self-shamed. Hahaha." Nicolette kept silence. She isn't arguing the critics until . . .

What?!

And the crowd stunned.

What?!!!! ~

My heartstrings.

The melody fills the cold air. I can't believe! Ugh! She can, play the Canon Rock? Really! A Sungha Jun version of Canon Rock. I can't believe! She makes me amazed! I can't speak clearly while looking on her. Her hand chording was so good. Flawless and calm.

"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed. That was really wow. And many civilians came the place. My goodness! This is a real fine line in chaos.

Nicolette said to me,

"She doesn't use pick, I know you don't believe. Don't look small to my best friend, huh! Don't underestimate her. She can do things more amazed with your very eyes."

And yes! That's very true. Heartwarming melodies! I only did was to clap. And the crowd clap! Louder as they clap on me before. Outrageously astonish.

Beauty and talent. I still can't believe. Ugh! I thought she was a novice. She was an expert! She's a gifted guitar expert! We listen about 4 minutes performance.

After she gave the guitar on it's owner, she said to me,

"A world without strings is chaos, right?" She said to me. After that she smiled. Charmin' smile.

I smiled looking with her dazzling eyes telling,

"But I think everything is on despair if you doesn't exist."

That moment stops for a while for us, as we look on our eyes. Until Nicolette enters the scene. She said,

"What about my friend? Hahaha. Boo!" And she teased me with her laughter.

And after we bring back the guitar to the owner, we walk to find foods. People who watches the performance still looking on us with grateful and amazement. Except Nicollete, no one knows this girl's name. We are about looking another place to have where we can talk by only ourselves-with no hindrances.
