When Music Becomes Our Saviour

One of the most important things that we love in this lifetime is music. It touches our lives in so many different ways. We expressed ourselves through different music from different situations that's happening to us. Some people use music to be their voice when they can't speak or rather chooses not to. They draw on to music when they feel love or betrayed; when they lose hope or feeling victorious; when they realize their dreams had came through or when they fall. Sharing music to others, letting them know what we feel; especially, sharing it with the people who really matters to us.

Sometimes, it can be the only thing that we can hear when everything seems to be lost…

When I was a kid, my mother forced me to have piano lesson for the summer vacation. I was nine years old. Every afternoon, I have to walk a mile just to attend my piano lessons at my teacher's house. I am not her only student; there is this other girl my age, though, she is taking voice lessons. I didn't know her then. She was from another town. Every week days, it is the same routine. Me, patiently waiting at their receiving area while the other girl finishes her lessons. We just say hi to one another then, for we were never introduced.

One day, her mother didn't come for her after her lessons. Our teacher, thinking, she just did some errands and would probably fetch her after wards let her stay for a while to wait for her mom. But after my two-hour lesson ended, she was still there, outside the house. Our teacher tried calling at their house but no one's answering the phone. I didn't know how she got home that night.

After that incident, she did not attend her voice lesson for two weeks. Our teacher never told me why. Until finally, she showed up one afternoon, before my lesson began. I didn't mean to overhear some of her explanations, but one thing is clear though, her mom left them.
