A Sudden Talent

My alarm went off for me to wake up to make me go for more job interviews, again, as it happens every single morning for two years now. I am not kidding when saying two years; it has been that long since I am looking for a job. But to be honest it is normal for employers not to hire me- I am useless. I am also so desperate but that is probably another topic and I cannot handle talking about my desperation at 6 A.M. Back to the topic, after dragging myself from bed, I got ready for another interview.  I dressed for my boring and usual interview outfit: the black skirt and a black blazer with a white shirt under. Just after getting out of the house, a friend of mine rang my phone telling me to come to her piano concert this afternoon. I accepted the offer and thought that it would be nice to get out of my typical daily routine of sleeping for eighteen hours after getting rejected.

Having gotten rejected again, I was devastated. The only thing I wanted to do is to listen some calming piano and relax. I never even liked or understood the piano or any other instrument but today it feels like I am craving music. After entering the concert place, I felt this weird excitement. It was a feeling I have never felt before. I took a seat and starting to wait for my friend to show up. After she went up to the stage and starting to play the piano, something happened to me. I had the urge to go to that stage and play the piano. This was weird and I shouldn’t be doing this but the moment she stopped playing, I stole the spotlight and started to play the instrument I had no clue about.

 

Do-Re-Mi… I knew every single musical note, I was pressing the keys with harmony. I didn’t know what was going on in my head but this was extremely odd. What was happening? Was this a dream?  Have I become a musical prodigy? While I was trying to cope with these thoughts in my mind, a spontaneous idea came into my mind. What if I can use this suddenly appearing talent of mine for my benefit? Even the idea of being employed made me smile. I looked at my friend: she was upset. She has been practicing the piano for probably eleven years now but suddenly this woman who had no clue about instruments and music comes and steals the spotlight in her own concert- that must be devastating. But it is real life, and nobody really cares about the things we acquire in an undeserved way so neither do I. My time has finally come…
