“Where is Daniel?” I asked Mum when I joined my parents in the living room after my dinner.
My mother pointed towards his room in response as I looked towards his room. I could hear music playing softly.
“I pray he’s OK.” I said to myself as I heard the sound stop.
I waited for him to begin playing again but heard nothing for about two minutes.. I stood up to go to his room.
A blank sheet of paper with a pen was placed on a part of the keyboard, obviously he wanted to write something.
I looked on his table to see papers filled with his writings.
“Then what has he been writing all this days?” I asked thoughtfully as I took one of the already filled paper and read.
“It brings me alive;
It awakens my heart;
It calls me to its source;
It strengthens me.”
“God must really be dealing with Daniel oo.. But he said there was no inspiration.” I said as I turned the paper around omitting some paragraphs.
What I read startled me, causing me to hit the keyboard in shock.
“Who is there? ” Daniel asked from the Bathroom.
“I’m the one.” I replied.
“I’ll be out soon. And don’t touch anything.” he replied sternly.
I returned my focus to the paper as I read again;
“Her Smile is like a special tonic to me;
Calling me out from my place of rest;
Your cheeks are comely with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.
Behold, you are beautiful, my love! Behold, you are beautiful! You have doves’ eyes.
The fairest of ten thousand ladies;…”
“Ha…” I shouted clasping my hand over my mouth tightly. I had read enough.
I picked the rest of the Papers and glanced through quickly.
All my brother had spent days writing was for someone; a lady.
I looked over to the blank sheet he had placed down. “Living Fire” was written on it. Not a line has been written on that song but my brother had spent days writing a love song.
I packed the papers hurriedly deciding to meet my parents downstairs when a sheet of paper fell from the pack..
I bent down with teary eyes to pick it when my eyes caught a name written towards the bottom part of the paper.
I let go of the tears I had been holding as I read.
It was BIDEMI!!!
