After all, they had once loved each other so much.
Baby Zetty suddenly got up from her seat. "Mister, just give me one moment."
Then, Baby Zetty ran downstairs and made Jay a cup o f his favorite Earl Grey tea before bringing it upstairs.
"Mister, please have some tea."
Jay was slightly bemused as he smiled. "Thank you."
Jay was still aware of what he was there for. After he had his tea, he sat on the piano bench with both his slender hands on the ivory keys. He said, "I think I'm going to try this Red Spider Lily."
Baby Zetty was overjoyed. "That’s awesome.”
Jay shut his eyes, the familiar melody playing inside his head.
Perhaps it was because of his extraordinary memory that he had the entire piece all memorized in his mind.
Perhaps it was that distant memory that guided his hand, allowing him to flawlessly play through the entire piece.
Baby Zetty gave him a round of applause. "Mister, you played this song too well.”
When Jay played Red Spider Lily, the melody was
thick and full, sounding confident and grandiose.
It was also the first time that Baby Zetty heard her daddy play that song. She exclaimed, "So this is how Red Spider Lily should be played?”
Jay smiled. "Everyone has their own interpretation of a song. I think that since it's a love song, it should have the stability and rigidity of a promise."
When he said that, he laughed at himself. "You’re still little, so you might not know the true meaning of the song. That’s why you couldn't bring out that dutiful and heavy emotion in the song. However, you play very well for your age.”
Baby Zetty replied, "I know that. My mommy told me that she wrote this song for Daddy. She confessed to Daddy through this song. Wherever she might be, in the bustle of the city or in the loneliness of the afterlife, she would never stop loving my daddy."
