Days later,
Aiden was heading to the kitchen to get some water when he heard a beautifully sonorous voice singing... At first he was confused but he noticed that as he walked towards Malisa's room... The voice grew louder.
And then it dawned on him that it was malisa singing...
He listened carefully to the beautiful sonorous voice taking the lead...
At first he was wondering if Mary had brought her friends home... But then he recognized that voice..
It was Malisa's! O gosh! It sounded like the voice of an angel...
He couldn't deny that his heart skipped a beat as she sang out loud with emotions laden in her voice.
It almost felt like she was singing from her heart and experience...
That made him wonder... Because as far as he knew, Malisa was never in a relationship so...
Or perhaps it's because she was so talented at singing that she could form the emotions too? He wondered.
Then, his sister's voice followed... And compared to Malisa's. His sister's was a little childish and low toned...
Soon, the duo began signing together and he must admit... It was really beautiful! Like the sound of a band of singers!
At that moment he had a thought, what would happen if the duo were to end up as singers? How would it be like? Wouldn't it be so beautiful?
He had no doubt in his mind that it will!
Now he understood why he just couldn't stop thinking about, Malisa... Maybe because the latter was always so good in whatever she does... Even the most little things like writing...
He had seen many brilliant people in his life but none ever impressed him as Malisa does!
Everything about her Is just so amazing!
Not only was she an epitome of beauty! She was also very smart, caring and nice!
He couldn't help but admit that fate was really on his side. There was now a super amazing woman in his family! What more could he ask for?
Perhaps she's a reward for all the good deed he had done in the past?
If so then he'll not stop doing his good deeds!
As he continued listening to Malisa singing... It felt like his heart stopped for like a second as the lyrics of the song hit him...
He wondered how a song could be so emotional that it carried so much emotions that it felt like worship...
He wasn't really a fan of music as he preferred quietness and peace and so he considered music as noise.
But now... Aiden felt drawled to the music and perhaps not only the music but also the singer....
Indeed he had to admit that Malisa was an amazing singer! And there's no doubt that she's going to win hearts of millions through her music...
But wait, why does he feel a little jealous knowing that she's going to end up winning the hearts of millions?
Perhaps it's because he wants her to sing for him and him alone .... Is that a feeling of possessiveness? He can't help but wonder....
When did he begin to feel this way?
Was Is it the first time he saw her that his heart began beating for her? Or when?
Was it when he saw her looking so beautiful yet so helpless? Abandoned by her peers and family?
When exactly did he start feeling this sense of attraction for her?
When?
He had so many questions in his mind but not a single answer came to his mind at that point....and he wondered why..
For the first time in his entire life, he felt helpless.... So helpless...
Then he realized that indeed, everyone has a weakness and no one is perfect!
Only the creator of all things is and will always be perfect!
He was about walking away quietly when they had just finished singing when he paused when he heard, Mary's question..
" Sis! I could almost feel the emotions in your voice as you sang, if the world was ending by JP Saxe.... Especially the chorus...
But if the world was ending
You'd come over right
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over right
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
And there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over right
Right?
If the world was ending
You'd come over right
Right? "
" Really? I didn't think It was that good though... "
Hearing this, Aiden didn't know what to think... Was she being so humble or self depreciating?
" It is, sis... It almost felt like you were singing it for someone you had once loved... "
" Oh, really? "
" Yeah, so sis, have to ever loved someone or had a crush on someone before? "
" Hm.... Not really... I do have a celebrity crush though... " She said almost in a whisper.
" Really, sis? "
" Yeah.... "
" So tell me, sis... Who this lucky celebrity is. "
" Hm... Justin Bieber. "
" Oh my! You actually had a crush on Justin Bieber? "
" Yes, but that was before though... Not anymore... "
" Okay... So do you still have a celebrity crush now, sis? "
" No... I only have favourite singers, Lauren Daigle, Celine Dion, Charity Gayle and Tatiana manaois. "
" Oh wow! I also love Titiana manaois too! My favorite song of hers is, Like you! "
" Same here... I also love Yesterday Everyday Always. "
" Hm... I guess we have the same taste in music... "
" Probably. "
" By the way, what do you think about romance, sis? "
" Oh... Why are you asking me this? "
" Well... I am being curious... "
" Oh... Just curious or is it what I am thinking? " Malisa said with a raised eyebrow.
" Of course not, sis! I am just twelve! "
" If you say so... Miss twelve years old. "
" So, sis? "
" Well... Romance comes after love... It's the most exciting, mysterious and intruding part of any intimate relationship. "
" Okay... So without love there can be no romance? "
" Possibly... Though it's possible to feel attracted to someone, you know the butterflies in the belly, the skipping of the heart beat, the red cheeks, and continuous thinking of the fella. "
" Oh wow... That feels so sweet. "
" Probably... "
" Hm... You do sound like someone who don't believe in love, sis.... " Mary commented meaningfully...
" Well... Maybe. I grew up in a society where, men and women get together for the main purpose of procreation and because it's a must do... So... "
" That must be sad indeed... "
" Love is practically inexistent in the relationships... Though there might exist some sort of attraction though. "
" It's funny how you were able to write books on love when you aren't surrounded by it... "
" Well... When it comes to writing, the characters act themselves out... The only thing I do is put down the words. "
" That's hilaring... "
" Hm... I am sure you'll find your life partner, sis... "
" Maybe... And if I don't... I'll just work on fulfilling purpose! "
" That's right! We've gotta fulfill the purpose for our existence on planet earth! "
" Yeah... That's what's most important... It sure can't be replaced by anything else. "
" Right! "
