Chapter 10 : FORGIVING & SINGING
Normal POV
Christine said," Erik….I don't wanna be here… take me home please."
Erik sadly sad," Christine why… don't….. just don't listen to them…."
Christine still said loudly," ERIK ! I wanna go home NOW…..take me please…"
Sighing Erik said," Fine…."
They went out of the room. The attendant standing outside was confused seeing them here. But he dared not ask them what happened even though he had wanted to know their mistake in organizing. Erik's glaring face was enough for him to shut up.
Then when they were out, breaking the ice Thomas said," Why ? Master Erik so early…..*sigh* huhh well Miss Christine let's go to your hime shall we ?"
And they entered the limousine.

Chrisitne's POV
I looked at Erik's drooping face. He sat besides me in the limo not looking at me but outside. I felt guilty for ruining what could've been a wonderful evening.
Am I really so spineless ? Do I lack even a bit of confidence ? Am I not even humble enough to be graceful to the one' who stood up for me ?
I looked at Erik at this thought . Still the same drooping face…Why is it that I was so affected ? Normally I am not so upset and embarrassed about such comments made about me. Or is it just that I didn't want to be embarrassed infront of Erik ?I am bound to give him an apology .
Turning to him I said, I'm sorry Erik . I didn't want to ruin this evening but it just happened…"
Erik turned to me and said," It's okay Christine… It wasn't really important to bring you here. I heard you talking to Megan about me when you were in the washroom you know that day. I heard how you told her to give me a chance. I felt really happy when I heard that so unconsciously I really wanted to thank you at any cost, so somehow so I got you here…."
So that was the reason. He heard me talking about him . I blushed at that thought.
" It's alright Erik. So.."
I wanted him to change the topic so I left my thoughts waiting for him to continue. Taking my hint after a brief pause he commenced….
" Oh yes there is something I wanted to show you . Here this is the music that I've composed. It's incomplete now though. I needed an inspiration for it and I've found it now."
He said smiling at me. I smiled back.Me an inispiration. Haha !
He took out a piece of paper from a file. I read it anxiously. It was a compostion….and it was breathtaking , Absolutely touching , so gaily. The lyrics were beautiful !
Erik turning to me said," Well you told me that you sing so I want you to sing it…for me."
Oooh it's your composition so obviously I would sing it for you but not now.
" Thanks for the offer Erik but I can't. I mean my untrained voice shall ruin your piece."
Frowning a little he said," That's okay, Christine.Listen to me. Just try." and he Yos see but my shadow My heart is overflowingTaken aback by his commanding voice I quickly snatched the paper from him I began…
Your eyes but see my shadow
My heart is overflowing
There is so much you can learn to love
You're not content knowing
Tenderly you could see my soul
*Gasp* Did I really just sing that. It was….it was….. kind of…..good….

ERIK"S POV
So she poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit. She has a beautiful voice but unpolished. It needs training that I can provide.
