Chapter 52 Aurora's Birthday III

Theo talked with the girls until he saw it was time to serve the cake.

"Ayia, help me bring the cake?" Theo asked.

"Sure." Ayia replied with a smile.

"We will be going. You girls can continue drinking." Theo said with a smile as he exited the table.

"We will!" Sam exclaimed.

Theo and Ayia arrived at the kitchen and started preparing the plates of the cake.

After 10 minutes they went back to the salon with the cake.

Theo observed that all the guests were having fun.

Aurora was playing a board game with her friends.

So, he got up to the stage and turned on the microphone so that all the guests could hear him.

"Hey, guys." Theo said with a gentle voice.

All the guests turned their heads and saw again the silver-haired handsome guy that was Aurora's brother.

"I would like a moment of your attention. We will be serving the cake in a few moments and singing happy birthday to Aurora."

The guests started to get closer to the stage and saw a beautiful red cake that looked delicious.

Aurora also arrived at the stage and had stars on her eyes.

"But first, I would like to give my gift to my sister."

Theo went towards the piano and sat in front of it.

"I would like to play a song for my sister. Thank you for being with me throughout all this time, cupcake." Theo smiled at her.

Aurora instantly became flustered, and with a red face, she smiled too.

Theo placed the mic down and got ready to play.

He practiced these 2 weeks and he got better and better.

Theo was now not just someone who got the skill from the system. With his enhanced intelligence, he was able to increase his proficiency at the grandmaster level.

He paused with his fingers on top of the keys of the piano.

He gently started playing.

He started playing 'Ballad Pour Adeline'.

As he continued playing, Theo forgot that tens of people were watching and solely focused on the song.

His fingers danced on the keys and the sound made by their dance it was pristine.

The guests were in a trance as they listened to such a masterpiece. Even the teenagers who didn't like classical music.

This was the skill of a grandmaster pianist. Theo had the power to his emotions in the song and enchant his listeners.

'Ballad Pour Adeline' was an emotional song and Theo placed his emotions for Aurora in this song.

Aurora had tears in her eyes as she listened, she could feel her brother's emotions for her and she knew what he was saying.

All these years that they were fighting to survive in this world while barely eating every day. The sadness and loneliness after their parents died.

She felt it all.

Theo ended the song with a gentle touch.

A while later the guests were still immersed in the aftermath of the song, Theo started playing another song.

It was 'Summer' by Joe Hisaishi, a song from the soundtrack of 'Spirited Away', a movie from Studio Ghibli.

One of his favorite movies.

The song was joyful and made those who it heard feel the desire to smile and think about the happy times.

Theo's fingers danced the happy song while he smiled as he played the song.

The guests started to smile too. They were infected by the happy song.

The image of Theo's smile as he played like a master the piano was burned in the minds of the young ladies that were present.

Aurora had the sweetest smile on her face.

She felt that this happy song was her brother's promise of the happy times they would experience from now on.

And she loved it.

Theo ended the song and his fingers stopped dancing on the keys of the piano.

As soon as he stopped, the guests took some time to digest such a masterpiece.

Aurora's friends were even more shocked.

They came from prestigious families and they had to practice music since they were young. So, they knew how to differentiate an amateur from a master.

Theo's play sounded like the great masters renowned throughout the world!

Megan, Vivian, Carolla, and Umaru were particularly even more shocked. Aurora's brother was a genius chef and now he was grandmaster pianist?

That was unprecedented.

Meanwhile, Ayia who had observed Theo practice every day these weeks was proud of him. Ayia was a master violinist, just a tiny bit away from the grandmaster level. She knew how talented Theo was and she was even more proud of him.

But as soon they noticed that the song stopped, they stood up from their seats and started clapping loudly.

Theo also stood up and faced the crowd and gently bowed.

After the crowd stopped clapping, Theo picked the mic.

"Thank you, that was my gift for you, sister." Theo smiled.

Aurora nodded and smiled.

"How about we hear some words from the birthday girl?" Theo smiled.

"Yes!!" The crowd shouted with passion.

Theo laughed and called Aurora to the stage.

She was shy but she went, nonetheless.

"First of all, I would like to thank my brother for everything he did and still does for me. I couldn't be here without you, big brother. I love you!" Aurora said with a big smile.

Theo smiled when he heard that.

"And secondly, I would like to thank each one of you that came here to celebrate my birthday. Big sis Ayia, thank you for helping my brother too." Ayia finished her speech and gave the mic back to Theo.

"How about we sing happy birthday to her now?" Theo asked with enthusiasm.

"YES" the crowd said.

They sang the happy birthday song as Theo brought the cake to Ayia to cut.

Everything went well. The crowd sang and afterwards, Aurora cut the cake.

Everyone had a piece of the cake.

And it was perfect.

It had such a unique taste of Strawberry and something else they couldn't recognize.

It was the secret ingredient that Theo and Ayia placed in the cake.

And it was a success with the guests.

After everyone ate, they went back to do what they were doing before Theo started playing the Piano.

Theo went back to his table with Sam, June, Ayia, and Sayuri.

Aurora also wanted to seat at their table so they went for a bigger table.

Aurora's friends were also seated at their table.

Megan, Vivian, Umaru, and Carolla wanted to see what these young adults were talking about.

"Theo, you are a beast! Not only you are a genius writer and a genius chef. Now you are a great pianist!? That's crazy." Sayuri said exasperated.

The girls who didn't know of his other gifts became even more flabbergasted.

He was indeed one of a kind.

"Sure, sure." Theo smiled dismissively.

They started talking and telling embarrassing stories of each other.

Aurora told a story where Theo fell inside a hole in the street because he was too distracted. She even said that they had to go to the hospital because he broke his arm.

They laughed so hard. They couldn't imagine that the young, elegant, and refined Theo, could be so distracted.

Theo could only laugh in embarrassment.

Aurora's friends didn't say much but they enjoyed the atmosphere and hearing these stories.

The party ended around midnight as all the guests left.

But it was a memorable night for all of them.
