Watching walk towards the coffin with no expression.
Sofia shook her head, "Impulse is the devil." She knew I was once again swayed by emotions, and I might do sothing bad, which was dangerous for .
Passing by Sofia.
The woman lowered her voice, "Don’t do this."
I didn’t look at her, "If God doesn’t grant rcy, then I’ll take it myself."
"You’re doing sothing foolish. I know Shara needs help, but you can’t clash with Johnny. You’re in a gang; you’ve seen the truth and darkness of this world, and you should be used to it."
"Is that so? Eddy is my brother, a mber of the gang, we are family.
Nobody can hurt my family!
Get used to it? FUCK YOU!"
"Kenny!"
"Shut up, bitch!" I said coldly, walking towards the coffin.
"Everybody." I shouted loudly, attracting everyone’s attention.
"Damn it!" Sofia frowned at .
Knowing I had sothing to say, all eyes were on .
I walked to the piano by the church, this was the place for hymns.
Opening the old piano, I sat down.
"What is he going to do?" Sofia pointed at .
"God, I don’t know." Amir was equally puzzled.
"Can he play the piano?" Sofia showed a curious look.
"How could he? Kenny can’t even play the harmonica, the piano? That’s not sothing a poor kid could learn. Kenny’s best skill in his childhood was rolling joints with marijuana because it made money."
Amir explained, he knew well,
My father was in a gang, I was in a gang, I was exposed to the underbelly and dark areas from a young age, piano? God, that was sothing we never thought of.
My fingers rested on the piano keys, testing a bit, getting familiar.
In my mind, a lot of knowledge and experience appeared, coming from Ella.
The music began, everyone quieted down, watching silently.
A young man in a black suit, with a lancholic expression.
I looked down at the piano keys, fingers starting to work, gradually becoming gentle and accustod.
The sound of music echoed in the church.
"It’s been a long day without you my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again"
My deep voice spread into every ear in the church.
"We’ve co a long way from where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again"
"God, this guy can sing too? What is this?" Amir said in surprise, as if he had never known .
"It’s ’See You Again,’ he really can play the piano, and sings beautifully." Sofia’s face showed a smile, she never expected I would be like this.
A hint appeared on Sofia’s head, only I could see it.
[He’s really sexy, very fascinating, very handso.]
"My God, can Kenny play the piano?"
"Shh, shut up, I want to listen to this song."
"I seem to rember Eddy."
" too, this song is so fitting, and I rember drinking with Eddy."
Shara cried, covering her mouth and looking at .
"When I see you again
Why’d you have to leave so soon?
Why’d you have to go?......
It’s been a long day without you my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
We’ve co a long way from where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again."
I closed my eyes, thinking of the experiences with Eddy, eyes a bit moist, my best friend was gone.
Everyone who was originally sitting in the church stood up, gathered around the coffin.
Humming lowly, singing with .
At this mont, no one was chatting, no one was looking at their phone, no one was doing anything else, they were all imrsed in the music, imrsed in the song, imrsed in mories.
Thinking of every detail about Eddy.
In their minds were past stories among friends, Eddy’s smile.
Amir looked at quietly, full of surprise.
He didn’t expect to play the piano so well.
Sofia seed to have discovered a treasure, when she thought she knew , I always surprised her.
This woman, apart from ballet, could actually play the piano too, she knew, without long-term practice I couldn’t do it, I could even play See You Again’s score with my eyes closed.
GOD! Sofia covered her mouth, my image was forever embedded in her mory.
Music knows no borders, strikes the soul, it can bring different emotions to people.
Joy, sadness, mory.
No need for language, no need for stories, no need for sentintality.
Everyone watched , listening to my call.
"It’s been a long day without you my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
We’ve co a long way from where we began
Oh, I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again"
Everyone opened their mouths, voices beca harmonious, the song in the church beca the main lody.
So were quietly thinking, singing while looking at painfully.
So started crying, tears left in the church.
At this mont, everyone’s emotions turned into missing Eddy.
"Eddy, my brother!"
"Buddy, I miss you."
"Damn, I want to cry!"
The music ended, I stood up.
The people present wiped their tears, looking at .
I walked towards Eddy’s coffin.
The mbers within the gang automatically made way.
Like Moses, I parted the Red Sea.
"Kenny!" A young gang mber nodded at .
"Kenny!" Another older mber made a fist with his right hand and struck his chest.
"Kenny!"
"Kenny!"
"Kenny!"
All the mbers greeted .
They saw my longing for Eddy, felt the bond between brothers.
We are a gang, but we are also a family.
A leader should treat brothers like family.
