The life was pretty hard for Rachel and couldn't afford to pay rent and charges with their jobs of street entertainers.
Today it is the first time Frank will celebrate a birthday party. With the help of a work colleague, he succeeded to decorate the place, even it the modest party. On the table aside the birthday cake, the party food, the beverage and party snacks there are a katana and chess box as Frank gifts.
Thomas went in front of microphone. He wore a black suit with a black tie
''Mr and Miss or Mrs…''
The room where he was, was pretty crowded, everybody turned to him.
''Welcome to the birthday party of Frank Farmer''
Everybody applauded him. Frank smiled to him.
''Before the party goes on, I'd like to thank someone. Without that person I would never be where I am today. When I came in New York High School for the first time, I thought that I am a stranger in front of others, but with the help of Frank…''
Thomas and Frank looked each other.
''I found my way''.He smiled
''Now, Frank this is for you' 'He left the front and came at his place a beautiful teenager girl with almond dark eyes and black hair. She wore a long blue dress. Frank recognized her, Rachel grew up and became more beautiful since the last time he saw her in the group home.
When she opened her mouth to sing, Frank felt vibrations. She had an angel voice.
''happy birthday to you Frank…happy birthday to you…happy birthday to you Frank …happy birthday to you Frank' 'Her voice succeeded to isolate Frank from the other world.''
Everybody applauded her performance. She entered in the crowd to meet Thomas, Frank froze. Thomas kissed her hand.
''Rachel you were fantastic tonight. I'd like to introduce you, our new birthday victim Frank Farmer.''He directed his hand to Frank. Frank look like a statue. ''Frank are you alright''
Frank shook his head and was shy'' Yeah!
Rachel looked at him and found him strange' 'What do you think of her performance''
Frank look at her''Amazing''
Rachel smiled' ' Maybe Mr Farmer didn't still come back from the clouds''
Frank came back in his sense and smiled to her' 'Really''
Rachel murmured''I can prove you''
Sy entered to the conversation. Rachel and Frank keep on looking each other. ''Rachel, I can tell you that you are the next best thing''
Frank turned to Sy''I hope this time you won't use a piece of paper''Sy groaned little loudly. Frank left them
''Rachel at the moment I'm doing an audition for the musical of''The Beauty and the Beast' ''
''Oh my God I did that when I was a child''
Sy put his hands on the arms of Rachel and reassured her
''And I can tell you, you already nailed it' 'Rachel jumped of joy
''See you tomorrow in New York City Hall''Sy left her and she can finally exhale.
During that time, Frank was watching Rachel from the one of the corners of the room. You can say that from his eyes he was deeply in love with Rachel
