Part 2: Concierto de Amor: The Encounter

Part 3: CdA: Homecoming

Part 4 : Her Smile

Melody watched the guy ran away with all his might until he disappeared into the smoke made from how hard he was striding against the stride. With a tilt of her head her confusion mixed within her mind. She was suddenly nostalgic and had the sudden urge to go through her old things.

She hurriedly ran back inside the house and grabbed a toasted bread from the table, placed a thin layer of jam over the surface of the bread and placed it between her mouth as she ran upstairs to her bedroom.

She had her childhood things organized into a room adjacent to hers in the beach house. She wanted to keep her apartment clean from anything so she was keeping all those personal stuff in the beach house or in the main house in the outskirts of the city. Her apartment was just like a personalized hotel room that is detached from all those old memories.

Melody pulled out a small plastic box from the things and brought it back with her atop her bed after dusting the container out.

As she opened the box, a clutter of things were inside. Photos, letters, hair clips, eyeglasses, and several more pieces of paper. In summary, everything in there was from her school days.

Memories poured out from deep within her brains and she was back during those days where she was playing with kids her age. She particularly remembers a timid boy with thick glasses that was often teased by others cause of his tiny stature and short height. It was not straight up bullying but it was just those teasing among friends, nothing harmful or degrading really, just those fun and silly things kids do.

She tried to recall that boy's name, she was not sure if it was Gab, Gabby, or Gabriel. But she was certain that it was something along those lines.


After eating lunch and practicing her songs, Melody collapsed into the couch as Sebastian was preparing a warm pot of tea. A knock on the door called their attention and Sebastian walked up to answer to it.

It was a middle aged woman, a little on the plump side but her smile was as bright as the sun and her energy was through the roof. She was polite but the air around her was just too much and her energy was over the top.

Melody saw the woman and was automatically uplifted by her smile. Melody waved at her and she told Sebastian to let her in.

"Oh hi dearie. You really are so beautiful in person. My name's Amelia. I'm really just a fan. I did bake a cake for you. I really hope it's okay to be here."

"Hmm did you just say cake? Sebastian, can you prepare this please? I would love to have some!" Melody said cheerfully as she gestured Amelia to sit beside her.

Melody was just warm and fuzzy specially when it comes to motherly presence because her mother was just her favorite person on the face of the Earth. She was just loving and you can feel her warmth with just her look and her smile.

They started talking candidly and with so many topics there is, they easily got close to each other. Melody told her that she went to the local grade school before going into the city and joining the music academy.

"Oh my, my son went there too, maybe you're in the same year cause you look like of the same age."

Amelia looked at what she had on her hands and they were fan arts made by Gabe for Melody.

"Oh speaking of my son. He's also a big fan of yours, I knew that you were here because of him. He told me you were in town, I guess you saw each other this morning."

Melody was surprised and let out a sweet little chuckle.

"So that was your son? Yep, he's quite the runner."

"Here, he made these for you."

"Oh really? Let me see those." Melody moved closer to Amelia and grabbed the fan arts. From the very first one she was already smiling and was giggling on how well made they were and she could not imagine how they were made by a guy.

"He's really fond of you. I think he's had a crush on you back in school."

Melody stood up abruptly and ran upstairs she took an old class picture from her box and brought it downstairs. She showed her to Amelia.

"I just thought that maybe we were really in the same grade back then. Is your son there?"

Amelia looked intently at the picture and exclaimed with a glee an affirmative response to Melody's inquiry.

"Dear me! There really is my little Gabriel. This little cute boy is him." Amelia pointed to the boy with the thick glasses and a well combed flat hairstyle.

"Guess we're really in the same grade!"

"Oh so you are this cute little girl here." Amelia asked and pointed to Melody.

"Yep that's me" she then kept the picture neatly on the table and went back to looking at the fan arts.

Another knock on the door came and Sebastian answered it again. This time, it was the guy in question himself. Gabe.

The ladies noticed him enter the house and he was just stuck there like he was frozen in time. The only thing moving was his eyes, looking at Melody and to the things she was looking at.

She softly and sweetly smiled at him before she invited him to sit with them.

He has no reaction whatsoever and Sebastian ushered him into a chair across the ladies. He sat down quietly and staring directly on the things he made for her.

"Gabe, my son, are you alright?" Amelia asked him.

He then realized the situation he was in and he could literally feel the blood climb up to his face. He wanted to hide, he wanted the floor to swallow him whole and to erase his entirety and to void the world with every presence of him along those girly fan arts that he made with his thoughts of her.

He buried his face slowly into his palms and as he tried to close his eyes, he saw a picture laid perfectly on the coffee table. It was a class picture. He took a closer look and he ascertained that it was their class picture. He took it and saw his young face on it.

His train of thoughts departed from the station. Just how much had these two talk about? So Melody knows that I was his classmate from before? She now knows how long I have this little crush on her? What were they giggling about? What on the hell Mom?

His attention was then grabbed by a sweet angelic voice that put him at ease for a bit, "Hey Gabriel, it's been so long. Nice to see you again."

He looked up and there it was again, the brightest smile he had ever seen, her eyes were also smiling perfectly in sync with her gentle lips.

What's up?!
