Performing Behind the humongous curtains overshadowing me, Waiting for the signal for me to start performing, “And now, let’s introduce: Vinh Bui playing on the piano!”That was my cue! Soon, there was silence........ My heart pounded like an African drum, numb. What if I made a mistake? Frozen Walking towards the huge, smooth, black, grand piano. It was as if my body had a mind of its own!? My flat bottom landed on the black seat in front of the piano. Suddenly, a cold chill went through my veins as a cold wooden key touched the tips of my small fingers. It was now or never! I thought. The piano made a soft, mystical sound! Great! No mistakes so far! My shaky little eyes then turned around and stared at the crowd. **Gasp** Over 500 people were looking at me with their big circular eyes! Never mind, focus! Focus on my piano playing! I knew it was suppose to sound like a heavenly lullaby but I Just couldn't figure it out! But the last parts of the song were a blank to me. It feels as if life is going to make me suffer for my mistakes.... Come on Vinh! You've practiced this song a million times! Argh! But I couldn't seem to remember the last part of the song! I spun my head around and looked at my parents! Then I noticed my dad mouthing the word: IMPROVISE! Randomly, I made up tunes that sounded like the real song! The heavenly noise of the piano put smiles on people's faces, As the last chord of the song ran through the auditorium, applause echoed the area Great relief came to my fingers as I stood up and bowed to the audience. Victory is conquered!
