William leaned back against the sofa and placed his arm across the back. Mary leaned back onto his arm and William hugged her shoulders.<br/><br/>Hannah walked to the piano with Arus. She smiled happily when Arus whispered that the first one was for her. When Arus was finished, Hannah placed her hand on his shoulder and whispered softly back to him.<br/>"Thank you Arus. It was beautiful and I loved the way you played it just for me."<br/>She listened to the other two with closed eyes as she envisioned how she would dance to the music if she was dancing to them.<br/><br/>William smiled as he listened to Arus' playing. He was every bit as good as Hannah said and much more. William could understand why Arus got that scholarship. He deserved it. His playing was smooth as silk and full of feeling that seeped into a person's heart.<br/><br/>Mary smiled as she listened. The music affected her to the point of where she felt the music. Never before had she ever 'felt' the music. Arus was very accomplished musician beyond his tender years. She could believed that he was a combination of 3 greatest composers of all time. During the last song, tears slowly dripped down her face as she listened. Once Arus was finished, she smiled at him and spoke warmly.<br/><br/>"Arus, you are a very accomplished musician! You have put your heart and soul into the music and the music becomes a feeling that seeps into other people. You are so young to be able to do so well. What music school did you go to?" Mary asked not even thinking about his parents and his upbringing.<br/><br/>Hannah looked at Arus with eyes bright with pride of knowing such an accomplished player. he was so much more than what his parents gave him credit for. Or did they try to squash all of Arus' talents? Could someone be so cruel as to do their damnest to keep someone else from being worthwhile? To keep a person so browbeaten that the person feels inadequate in everything?
