A CALL FROM A MUSICIAN FRIEND

I was really surprised today.

Nearly late morning when the phone on my desk ringing. Picking it up without changing my attention from the work I am still doing, I thought it must be from the boss that was still in a bad mood since yesterday.

It was not him! After several, "Who is calling?" as I could not get the name of the person at the other side, I put my pen down when suddenly I recognized the voice of the caller!

He is a good friend - musician of mine who has been 'missing' for years. Oh my............!

Move back to those days.

I did not know him very well actually. His youngest brother who actually was my close friend. Getting around together with his little brother for many years made my relationship with him getting stronger too. We were getting closer and closer at that time, many songs we have played and performed together.

We never spoke about our feelings, but we knew we cared each other like how lovers do. I believe this kind of relationship has deeper meaning, and I prove it, it is! In our relationship we do not need being somebody else which usually happened to a declared lovers. Many people trapped to be somebody else by playing an angel character to get attention and admiring, while we did not.

He left our little town to study and then building his career, ever since then we never have any contacts. I know where he is and how he is from our other musician friend. I don't know if he also get information about myself from our friend. I never confirm this. I also knew that he was engaged and then broke up his relationship. After that I never heard that he has a serious relationship.

Due to my busy time with my work, I also lost communication with our musician friend - the source of the information, and I knew nothing about him since several years ago.

If I were asked, why I did not try to contact him or why he did not contact me? I don't know. But I feel happy when I got something about him.

Surprisingly, first sentence he mentioned when finally I noticed that it was him who is calling and a happy hello to each other: " I am going to get married next December."

Then he continued, "I am late for a marriage, am I?" He is several yours older than I am.

I replied, "Don't say that! I am happy that finally you find your soul mate! Nothing is to late related to happiness!"

We continued our conversation, I told him my love ones, he told me his. I am happy for him. His soul mate is a good singer too, he said that they made an indie label record. He also told me that he started to play saxophone several years ago. So he developed his other talents in music....., I only knew that he is a good guitarist. Difficult repertoires by Tarrega was easily played by him on those days!

Now, while writing, Mozart's divertimento start singing in my head. The guitar & piano version of that song was the first song that we performed together.

And today............................., I am very happy for him. His sound on the phone was a happy person voice!

I hope for your happiness as always my friend!
