Dressing up in a crimson red dress with black heels, I fixed my brunette hair in a messy bun and gazed at the reflection in front of me. Had I not accepted the visit, I would have been in my peaceful place right now.

Breathing deeply, I took slow steps walking downstairs, I fear I might twist my ankle and fall rolling with these heels. I focused on every step I took and heaved a sigh of relief after reaching the last step.

I saw dad searching for something and grinned when he eventually found the car keys. Straightening his grey outfit, he picked up a black bag which was on the table and strolled to the door.

"Hey, what is in that bag?" I ask following him behind while staring at the bag.

"Oh! It's a gift for them." He shrugs and opens the bag taking out a box of...chocolates?

"Are you seriously planning to give them chocolates?" I frown seeing those, who give chocolates nowadays?

"Why not? Besides, it's Jo's favourite, I'm sure he'll love it." He smiles and moves towards the car. I lazily followed him.

The car ride was not so silent. All thanks to dad's odd singing voice. I hope this day soon gets over.

La La La...my heart...ohhh

"Please stop," I yell and he stops but not before mumbling,

"No one loves my singing." oh god.

-

Driving a few streets, we reached the place. I got down and peeped at dad, he was nervous but still managed a smile.

We stepped to the door and pressed the doorbell waiting. Soon a man of dad's age opened the door and grins stepping forward engulfing him in a tight hug patting his back.

I stood there awkwardly not wanting to interrupt their reunion. After a few seconds they backed away and the man turned his eyes to me.

"Jo, meet my daughter, Chloe," dad speaks and the man engulfs me in a hug, lasting for milliseconds.

He welcomes us into his house and directs us to the living room. There one guy was sitting beside a blonde, both engaged in a deep conversation while two young girls giggling and gossiping at the other side.

Jo clears his throat catching everyone's attention. Everyone halts and looks at us. I want to leave this place. It's too much for me. It's making me nervous.

"So, this is George, my childhood best friend and his daughter Chloe and this is my elder son Alex and his fiance, Fiona." I glanced at them, both of them smiled waving hello, I awkwardly smiled back.

Jo says continuing, "And these are my two lovely daughters, Katie and Josie."

I looked at them and they excitedly waved giggling, It was really confusing to know who is who as they both were an exact replica of each other, both acquiring brown eyes as Jo's while Alex was having grey eyes.

"My wife is slightly busy in the kitchen preparing the dishes, while my younger son...where is he?" He asks frowning.

"Maybe in his room," one of the twins' replies while a woman with honey hair enters plastering a bright smile, wrinkles striking near her grey eyes. She was pretty. Alex must have acquired grey eyes from her, I assumed.

"Meet my wife, Serena." Jo introduces her with a big grin while she shook her hand with us, greeting us.

As soon as we settle down on a sofa, dad opens his black bag and takes out the chocolate box passing it to Jo. Jo observes the box for a second and his expression turns into amazed and he again grabs dad into a hug.

"These are my favourite, you still remember?"

"Of course, how would I forget?" He smirks feeling proud of himself. I rolled my eyes yet a smile form on my face.

Jo hands the box to Serena while she asks one of the twins to help her in the kitchen.

One of them raises her hand and follows Serena to the kitchen while the other one glances at me and nervously steps forward.

"How about I show you our new house?" she asks nervously. I was about to decline but dad interrupts,

"Yeah, she is totally fine with it," dad says smiling but it turns to fear when his eyes meet mine but he instantly covers it and nudges me to go with her. I peek at the engaged couple, they were again engrossed in their own conversation.

Sighing, I got up earning a squeal from her, she walked ahead of me showing me various paintings drawn by Alex.

"He is a genius Artist," she says and I don't object. These paintings were really remarkable and extraordinary.

Moving towards the kitchen, I saw Serena and the girl preparing the dishes hastily. Serena glances and smiles at me, I nervously smiled back.

Moving upstairs, the first floor was of bedrooms, she takes me to her bedroom where I see a yellow themed bedroom with a twin size bed at the centre, photos and paintings hanging on the faint yellow walls.

"We both love the yellow colour," she mumbles and smiles at me. I smiled back.

"Josie, we need your help." Someone, possibly the other twin which I guess is 'Katie' yells from downstairs. Josie yells back 'coming' and runs out of the room leaving me alone.

I was going through the twin's portraits but then heard a faint sound.

Sound of someone playing something...

Focusing on the sound, I recognized. It's a piano, someone was playing the piano in this house. Listening to the sound, I walked out of the room and followed the source. I stopped in front of a room whose door was slightly opened. This time, I was able to hear the piano's melody clearly.

I stood there listening to the melody and it took me no time to recall the note. It was obviously Beethoven's fur elise. The person was playing the melody perfectly, I was really astonished and wanted to see that person but hesitate, I didn't want to intrude him or her.

Soon the person stopped playing, I decided to open the door. I knocked once and clutched the handle slowly opening the door to see the person and what I saw in front of me was totally unbelievable.

There sat Daniel in his black hoodie and black toned trousers near the piano. His eyes widen as he saw me, he too wasn't expecting me either.

We both stood there unmoving for a few seconds, staring at each other. I decided to quit this staring contest and cleared my throat. He quickly removed his gaze and turned, scratching his back of the neck.

The air around us was filled with silent awkwardness and It really was suffocating me. I agreed on leaving.

I turn around to leave but hear his voice, "I wasn't aware of you being a stalker huh?"

I turned and a smirk was formed on his face, "You entered my house, I must say I'm impressed."

"I must say, I'm quite surprised to see you can play the piano," I smirked back, folding my arms and leaning over the door.

"You don't know my abilities." He huffs.

"I thought your only ability is to bug people and spill coffee on them," I smirk while he frowns, folding his arms like a small child who has been denied candy.

"You don't know me, I can play the piano. In fact, I can play it very well." He glares at me with his brown challenging eyes.

"Show me," I whisper.

"Watch it, girl," he grins and turns to the piano. Lifting his fingers, he presses over the keys resulting in the notes echoing throughout the room. As he starts playing the notes closing his eyes, the melody hits my ears. I, too close my eyes drowning into the music but soon the tune sounds familiar.

Very familiar.

As the song goes on a little longer, I snapped my eyes open, I remember this Music.

Oh no! Not this music.

I abruptly turned around rushing out of the room downstairs ignoring his faint yells.
