Chaplain! - Chapter 541
541 Memories
Faced with so many questions, Adam Collins, who was known as the piano prince, could only say, “Well….”
“This… This was a very… very famous piano piece!”
“He played it….. well.”
However, after he finished speaking in a profound manner, his forehead was covered in sweat that no one knew about.
He felt guilty!
But, he couldn’t let his fans know what he truly felt!
He couldn’t show that he didn’t understand and so, he could only bite his tongue and pretend to appreciate the music.
‘Wait for me, I’ll be back
But you have to wait bitterly
Waiting for the gloomy rain,
It arouses your sadness and your sense of righteousness
When the snow falls,
When the heat is unbearable,
When others no longer look forward to their loved ones…’
However, at this moment, Emilia, who was immersed in the artistic conception of music, could not help but recite Simonov’s ‘Wait for Me, I’ll Be Back’!
In the next moment, everyone present were shocked!
This…
It was indeed Simonov’s ‘Wait For Me, I’ll Come Back’!
As expected, after the magnificent music, under the control of Oliver Walker, the music changed from the magnificent military camp to one that was full of regret!
When the last sentence flowed out of Emilia mouth, tears welled up in Oliver Walker’s eyes!
That’s right!
Eight years ago, when the war broke out in Indiana, how many young men filled with ambition had stepped onto the train of no return in order to fight for their country?
They bid farewell to their wives, children, parents…
However, how many of them returned in the end?
In the midst of great sorrow, the tone of the piano changed again. It turned into great joy after the rise of ambition, but it quickly turned into loneliness and sorrow again!
The success and fame that they have achieved were the glory of the soldiers who sacrificed themselves, building it with their blood, sweat and tears!
Three poems in a row made Oliver Walker recall half of his life as a soldier!
Those familiar faces gradually disappeared from his eyes!
He could never forget!
In the uninhabited area, when the soldiers ran out of ammunition and food, the brave soldiers picked up their bayonets and fought the enemy in the most primitive way!
Not one survivor walked out of that camp!
But, their flag stood tall.
Oliver Walker couldn’t forget those tragic scenes…
There were too many memories from it and it broke him.
However, everyone present was immersed in that magnificent artistic conception. That last key that he played off tune was like the finishing touches to the heart-wrecking piece.
It represented the unwillingness and longing in his heart!
For a long time, Emilia was speechless!
Even everyone around them stayed quiet.
She stared at the back of the person sitting in front of the piano in a daze!
Adam Collins had already been humiliated, and it was impossible for him to ever play to the levels of these three songs.
“Hubby!”
“You… What’s wrong with you?”
Emilia noticed her husband’s back trembling slightly. She quickly rushed forward with a worried expression!
Olivia Walker quickly said, “Mom! He…He’s crying!”
Crying?
Oliver Walker was indeed crying.
The battlefield was a cruel place that he didn’t want to recall in his life!
But…
There were always some things and people that were hard to forget!
However, he clearly understood that if there was a war at the border one day, he would still risk his life to lead the army!
He believed that his wife would not object!
“I…”
Oliver Walker’s voice was a little choked, but he said with a smile, “I’m fine!”
He may have to endure endless hardship deep inside but he will never forget the faces of those who sacrificed their lives.
“You…”
“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!”
Emilia knew very well that her husband must have thought of his past. Otherwise, he would not have played such a shocking piece!
