The Epiphany 11
Now, his pretentious colleagues had taken interest in the conversation between him and the boss, so they looked on.
“We are advertising our center too.”
Then, Mr. Denise Bailey looked at his wife, who was exceptionally happy because the recording for that day was for the advertisement for the upcoming event. With the name and logo of the Tourist Center at the background, it will give their publication a boost.
“That is very thoughtful of you, Jude. It is like you are good at image branding?"
“Thank you, madam. I have a little knowledge of it.”
“It is all right. We will talk more about it later.”
“It is noted, madam.”
Then, he walked up to her a collected her phone and walked back to the foot of the stage to wait for Daniel. Now, they turned and welcomed Mr. Phil Anderson who just arrived with his family and the recording began.
“Daniel, it is time.”
Olivia announced. Now, Daniel looked at his uncle who was sitting beside him as though he was seeking to get his approval.
“Yes. It is time to make your uncle proud.”
“It is okay. I will make you proud.”
He got off his seat and gave Mr. Denise Bailey a handshake to seal the unwritten agreement. Then, he walked majestically to the stage with his classic dressing, which his mother complimented with a cowboy cap. He took his seat cheerfully and looked at his audience. Now, the stage light made his handsome face to radiate. He was not aware that Jude had begun the recording since he began to climb the stage staircase until he took his seat and looked up. Then, he began to play.
To the bewilderment of the mini audience, and to the credit of Jude, Daniel had improved considerably. He was more composed and could make advanced music. At the end, he wowed the mini audience when he took a bow, and they clapped merrily for him. Now, he walked briskly back to his uncle, who he had a deal with and whispered.
“Uncle, did I make you proud?”
“Daniel, you wowed me. I am proud of you.”
“Thank you, Uncle. What next?”
“Horseback ride.”
Now, the excited Daniel ran to Olivia, who was examining the recording with Jude, and whispered.
“Uncle Denise is taking me out for a horseback ride.”
“Wow! That is nice. Can I come with you?”
Daniel, who felt that one can only earn a horseback ride when he or she makes music with piano, looked at Mr. Denise Bailey before he looked at Olivia and asked.
“Can you make good music like me? Otherwise, he would not allow you to come with me.”
They laughed happily at his assumption, and his mother called out.
“Daniel, come and change your clothes for the horseback ride.”
He walked to the mother, who took him to the car and dressed him for the horseback ride. To his surprise, Mr. Denise Bailey and Olivia were on another horse while he was on another horse with his father.
At Mr. Henry Taylor’s House
When they arrived, he parked at the garage. He looked at her and announce.
“Welcome to my humble home.”
“Wow! Thank you. You have a beautiful house.”
He appreciated, got off the car and walked to the passenger’s side and opened the door for her. She got off and appreciated too. He held her right hand and walked to the parlor. Afterward, he unlocked the door, and they walked in.
“Welcome once again to my house. I hope you find it conducive for you.”
She smiled and looked around the beautiful house while Mr. Henry Taylor observed her. He noticed that she was happy with the house, but before he could offer her a seat, he made a request.
“Do you mind if I give you a welcome hug?”
Now, she looked away from the portrait that she was admiring and looked at Mr. Henry Taylor, who was standing beside her. To her surprise, he did not wait for her response before he grabbed her for a hug. Now, Miss Harriet David felt warm as he wrapped his hands around her. She was able to feel the rhythm of his heart, which she could not explain. Then, after a few seconds, he attempted to loosen his grip on her, but she held him back, and he reciprocated. They held each other and remained silent in the middle of the parlor. Then, Mr. Henry Taylor whispered a question to which he already knew the answer into her ears.
“When did you start loving me, Harriet?”
It was as though his voice reminded her of how much she loved him, and she tightened her grip on him. When he did not get any response from her, he whispered again.
“I was mesmerized by your beauty the first day I set my eyes on you, Harriet.”
Now, Harriet raised her face and looked into his handsome face, and they locked eyes for a few seconds. Nevertheless, he was able to see a genuine love in her eyes. Then, he lowered his head to her face and kissed her lips gently and declared.
“I love you, Harriet.”
“I love you too.”
She responded. Meanwhile, they engaged in a deep mouth-to-mouth kiss, and they were capable of easing their bottled up emotions. Then, Miss Harriet David released herself and whispered what Mr. Henry Taylor would never forget.
“I have being longing for this.”
He held her closer and engaged her in another round of kiss and promised.
“I will always remember today. The day I discovered that the woman I had been dying to have, was also dying to have me.”
She smiled and promised too.
“I will always respect your love for me.”
“Thank you, my love.”
Now, Mr. Henry Taylor led her to the couch and made her to sit down comfortably and announced.
“This is your house. Is that okay?”
She nodded in the affirmative before he got up and said.
“Excused me.”
“It is all right.”
