Chapter 41 - Bar Mitzvah
I don't know how to do it at all, I've never even touched a piano, but Klopp looks better than usual when he's playing it.
"Is that all you want?"
klopp was surprised that he probably thought I would ask for some expensive gift.
I nodded solemnly, and I always remembered him playing with Mireya in the ensemble. He could play the piano for me alone once, and I would find that the most rewarding pleasure in the world.
"Okay, so what else do you wish for besides that? You can say them all, and we'll see how many we can fulfill. Your bar mitzvah, I hope it doesn't leave you with any regrets."
Klopp said to me.
"So ...... I wish I had a lot of gold coins."
I laughed and said to Klppp.
"So you're a little money-grubbing, and that's not an expensive wish."
Klopp shook his head and smiled, and lowered his head to give me a gentle kiss on the forehead.
Two days later, my bar mitzvah.
The manor was beautifully decorated with colorful balloons and ribbons everywhere, even the maids at the entrance of the manor had a pink bow pinned on their clothes.
And I put on a gray-blue gown embellished with tiny crystals that shone brightly in the light.
Klopp learned from somewhere that humans celebrate bar mitzvahs and also set up a hall covered with roses.
The maids and other servants in the manor also temporarily put aside their work to celebrate me.
"Jenny, you are very beautiful today."
Klopp was holding a wreath in his hand and smiled at me as I walked up to him.
"Thanks."
I replied somewhat sheepishly.
Klopp placed the wreath on my head as the maids and other servants cheered and applauded.
"She's so beautiful today, I just love her!"
Anna wiped her tears, smiled excitedly and said to the maid at her side.
"I guess I do, too."
Ike also applauded for me while shouting to Anna.
"No, I can, you can't, absolutely."
Anna expressed her displeasure to Ike, who helplessly stretched his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
"Next, it's time for you to receive your gift, and hopefully you won't be too weak to pick it up."
Klopp said with a smile.
Then the maids came forward, all holding a small box in their hands, and placed it in my hand and expressed their blessings to me.
Anna also approached with a box in her arms.
"This is a treasure that I have treasured for a long time, and now I am giving it to you, so you should cherish it."
Anna said to me with some reluctance, although the box was a little heavy to hold.
"I will."
I said to her that when her birthday comes, I will definitely give her a most precious gift as well.
But as Klopp said, there were too many gifts for my hands to hold.
I had to put them on the side table for now.
"So, next should be my gift."
Klopp smiled and said to me very gently.
I looked at him with a sense of anticipation.
The dark red curtain was pulled up and a piano appeared in front of my eyes.
Klopp walked over and sat down gracefully, his long fingers pulsating on the keys, the beautiful melody floating throughout the hall.
This time, he played it for me.
I had become so completely immersed in his world that I forgot he was a vampire count.
It wasn't until he stood up and gave me a smile that I came back to my senses.
"Do you know the name of this piece?"
Klopp asked me with a smile.
I shook my head a little embarrassed, I don't know the music at all, how would I know the name of this piano piece?
"It's called Dreamland of the Sky."
Klopp replied.
I reached up and wrapped my arms around Klopp's waist and tilted my head up to look at him.
"In my sky, you are my dream."
Although I don't know when this dream will wake up.
Klopp looked at me with a smile on his face.
"I hope you will always be my best dream, too."
Klopp lowered his head and kissed my forehead.
"Oh, my God! Mr. Earl actually kissed Jenny!"
Anna couldn't help but shout.
"There is another gift."
Klopp said, taking out a black card from his pocket that looked like a bank card used by humans.
"This is the commission I got when I was a vampire hunter before, it's all in there and and they will remit to this card later if there is any more, it's common in the human world, you should use it."
Klopp said to me gently.
That means I have several million gold coins at once, if I were in the human world, I would be a rich man!
"Thanks!"
I took the card and jumped up and hugged him.
Ike got the bar mitzvah party started with wine and champagne.
"Jenny, Happy Bar Mitzvah!"
Everyone surrounded me, cheering and giving me their blessings.
Klopp was also dragged by Anna and Ike to drink wine together in a rare occasion.
I've never had red wine since I was a kid, and its taste made me feel a little uncomfortable, but I didn't want to spoil the fun for everyone.
Soon, I've gotten used to the taste of it.
But the head also started to get a little dizzy and everything seemed to be spinning in front of me.
"Klopp, stop, stop spinning, I can hardly see."
I reached out and tried to pull him in, but he kept swaying.
The next second, I had fallen into Klopp's arms, his face very close to mine.
Klopp picked me up and my whole body felt like it was floating on a cloud.
I couldn't open my eyes anymore, and in the haze I only heard Klopp talking to someone, and after a few very brief words, the person seemed to leave.
What happened after that, I don't know completely.
The next morning, my head was a little swollen and my throat was so thirsty that it was about to crack.
I sat up to get a glass of water and found a glass of warm water already sitting at the foot of the bed.
I grabbed the glass and drank the entire glass of water before I felt like I was alive again.
Turning back, Klopp was looking at me with a smile on his face.
"Jenny, what you said last night, was it true?"
Klopp's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"What? What did I do last night?"
I swear I really don't remember anything.
Klopp pinned me down on the bed, hooked his lips up and looked at me with a smile on his face.
"You said last night that you liked me a lot and wanted to be with me, is that what you really thought?"
Klopp asked once again.
My face got hot, God knows what I told him last night!
That is indeed the truest thought in my heart, but I am only human.
"Klopp, I think I may have had too much to drink last night, I ......"
I don't know how to answer this question, he might think I think that way about him and make him feel annoyed with me.
"You just have to answer me, yes or no."
Klopp was desperate for an answer.
"Yes, I have always liked you, and my liking for you is increasing, and if it continues it should be called love."
I answered seriously.
