There were times when my life revolves around my piano, Melodie, and I have love affairs with men called Debussy and Chopin. I spent practically more time with her than the time I spent doing my homework in the elementary school.
I played with her before going to school and greet her right after I went home. I played when I'm happy and played sad sad song on my lowest point until my hands swell. I had the ugliest hand and nail because of her and I didn't care. I used to play two to five hours a day for ten years before I finally stop.

Things between us got worse, with all tension and stuff, when I was introduced to the music competition. I won several and got a big lost later. It's not fun anymore so I gradually stop playing.
But then, Melodie gave me my first paid job: private piano teacher. I pay most of my picnic expenses on the university using the money I made with Melodie. It was fabulous working with your dear friend.
Then, changes happen again. I grew up and leave Melodie alone. Stop playing with her for four years now, and even stop taking care of her. I know it's really awful to abandon a dear friend, but one day I'll be back home again, pick her up, and my children will be her loyal companion ever after.
Or even better, I used to have a dream together with her back when I was so much younger: a restaurant with a piano corner. Perhaps one day I can make it come true and she'll be standing proud and tall on stage again~ right where she belongs. Oh, how I miss her.

anyway, this post is so lovely. i used to get my piano lesson in my childhood, too!
and the dress is drop dread gorgeous! where does the 'a.k.k.u.' label come from?
@ marla: a.k.k.u. is my (future) sister in law's label. I handpicked this dress material (glitery and velvety at the same time) and specifically asked for handmadew rosette and drapery. After many many fitting, it's perfectly done! I love it too. :)

I always try to push both my sisters up to our grand piano but mom always try to fail me to do so! she just afraid that the piano is not strong enough to held them!
I also love your writing about the piano at home.. my piano too! it is left there lonely and as the decoration at home when both my sis start to grow up and dont really interested in playing them anymore!
