Chapter 18:STORY BEHIND THE SONG

"My dad told me that he fell in love with my mom at first sight, however, he did not have the confidence to confess. Every time there was an opportunity, his knees would start to wobble and his speech became slurry in front of my mom. He was about to give up, then the right opportunity came.

A family event of my mom needed to hire a folk band for entertainment. Lucky for my dad, his father (my grandfather) owns a well-known folk band in their town and my dad is the guitarist and singer.

The female oldies at the party went crazy with my dad's singing and so as my mom. The happy atmosphere gave my dad encouragement and strength to go for it.

In an Elvis Presley song "Can't Help Falling In Love With You", he sang in full passion and emotion and only looking at my mom. Slowly he walked towards her singing the last sentence of the song "but I can't help falling in love with you". Everyone in the crowd rooted for him. My mom's parents cannot do anything but agree with the crowd.

From then on, it was the town folks that created little circumstances for my dad & mom that ended up as destiny. My dad got an official permission to date my mom and the best part was everybody in town was in full support.

Their love story is like a drama series everyone followed and excited about the ending. I guess it was a happily ever after.

Amy kept staring at Edmond as he spoke. Hearing these words from him, she began to visualize how their family was. He is lucky to have sweet parents sharing their beautiful love story but actually, it was his parents who are luckier to have him as their son who values the beauty of their love story even from a mere song.

After hearing the story from Edmond, Amy's mood made a 360 degree turn from annoyance to delight. She was never attracted to Edmond before but as she continues to discover his gentle side, she is starting to see him differently.
