"Thank you so much, I think you're
the only reason why I'm still alive." Serene
said as she held my right hand. --------------------------------- "Michael!" My mom screamed as she pushed me off the
road. (Read Related : Friendship Love Quotes) --------------------------------- One proposition changed my life. A girl living in a mansion invited me to tutor her to play the guitar for sixty days. My salary would be Php 10,000 a day. Initially, I thought that it was a prank but after assurance about the offer from her bodyguard, I decided to accept it. When I entered her mansion, I saw a beautiful lady about my age sitting in a wheelchair. Her beauty was beyond comparison. However her lips were pale and she looks thin and frail. I knew that there was something special about her the moment I see her. I talked to her and was shocked when I found out that she’s going to take guitar lessons from me. To be honest, I'm glad because I admire her. I got my guitar and started teaching her the basics. She was a fast learner and she could play the guitar after only fifteen days. I was quite sad when I realized that my contract of sixty days was going to end soon. One day, she told me her story instead of practising on the guitar. "I never once left this place." She said
sadly as she closed her eyes. I learned that her body was weak ever since she was a child. Her childhood was sad because she never had a single friend around her age. In fact, I was stunned when she told me that I was her first friend around her age. Despite having a weak body, she was really good at playing musical instruments such as piano, violin, flute and harp. I listened to her play the piano often. I told her that I wanted to learn how to play so she taught me. That was when the student became the teacher. Her kindness changed me.

Before I know it, sixty days were almost over and there were only ten days left. I decided to go to her house without notice to surprise her. I missed her badly and I wanted to see her again. When I reached her mansion, I noticed her maids' sad faces. "She's really sick, Michael." Her father told me. I insisted on entering her room to take a look at her. I saw her lying on the bed. There were many medical machines in the room that help to monitor and stabilise her condition. "Serene..." "Michael?" A familiar voice called my name.
"Serene, how are you feeling?" I asked
as I held her hand. ---------------------------------
