It was a sunny afternoon in the middle of summer, and everything seemed so peaceful. The wind was blowing over the pond downstairs and the light reflected by the water was twinkling like stars. There were children's running around the pond, nearly everyone in the neighbor, except me.
Imagine this scene, a five-year-old girl sitting in front of a huge black piano, with tears on her face. Yes, I was this little girl who was forced to play the piano at that time. The phone was ringing again and again, and I knew that it was my friends. I turned my face to my mom, "May I go out and have fun for a little while? I promise I will practice after dinner."
"No."
"Mom, please."
"No."
I stopped begging and turned my head back to the huge dark monster. The piano seemed to bite my finger every time i touched it. The worst thing was that my mom even hit my arm whenever I made tiny mistakes. I was only 5 years old!!! Thinking about that, I just cried out and kicked the piano,"I don't want to play the piano anymore! It is so boring and difficult! Beside, I want to play with my friends! Do not hit my arm again!" After that, I slammed the cover of the piano which made a loud noise and ran away.
It was a long time before I got back home. I didn't play with my friends but sat in the garden and cried silently instead. I was wondering why mom was so strict with me. I knew that i promised her i would play the piano well in the future, but i am just a little girl now! The sun sat and wind blowed above the leaves in the trees. The gentle voice made by the movement was just like the sound familiar to me. Oh piano, it was the piano! I realized that how I loved piano since I first knew it.
I ran home immediately, seeing my mom sitting in front of the piano. I was afraid but noticed the smile in her eyes. "Come here." She said gently, moved a little bit from the bench thus I could sit with her. She fondled my hair with her hand and said something I would never forget.
"If you have chosen something, you have to insist to it. No matter it makes you happy or sad. You are the one who control it."
I cried out loudly, with tears running out of my eyes. It was not because of grievance but guilt. I realized that, whatever the decision we made, we should assume the consequence. However, we could choose to accept it happily or being forced to do it. As for me, I decided to love piano and never give up.
