102 Praiseworthy.

When Shiha saw the look of Ruihan, somehow she felt that it has underlying meaning.. But she can't pinpoint it.. She just gave a half smile and said.. "Who knows.."

One of the officer raised his brow.. He asked in amusing manner.. "Form a partnership??"

Ruihan shrugged his shoulder and said.."hmm.. If Sheng corporation wins this project, then it will definitely choose the Tang corporation as a partner. And if Tang corporation wins, then! May be they can choose Sheng corporation.. So there is no room for competition." His tone was full of confidence. As if he was sure about it..

Shiha was getting confused by his sudden words..

The officers can feel the change in the atmosphere.. So one of the officer said.."well.. There is enough time.. We will see it when the time comes.." saying this he looked at Shiha and said.. "But I would like to say.. CEO Tang! its not easy to win against Sheng corporation. Best of luck."

"Thanks for your concern.. I will definitely be prepared." replied Shiha.

Ruihan twisted his lips, he glance at his wrist watch and said.. "Now it's already time for lunch. Let's move."

Everyone nodded and stood up.. They all left the meeting room and walked towards one of the private room for lunch..

Just as they passed through the main hall, they heard the sound of Piano being played on the center stage in the main hall.

They all stood there and listened to it.. Somehow Shiha felt the emptyness inside her.

"woww.. Its so melodious.." said the officer. Then he looked at Shiha and said.. "CEO Tang, once I heard that you can play the piano magnificently."

"Yeah.. I too have heard the praises of your talent. Infact! If I not wrong then you have played it in the International charity function." said the other officer.

Shiha gave a smile.. "yeah. But it had been years.."

Before she completes her sentence she was interpreted..

"Why not! give it a try right now.. Give us the honour to listen to your Piano.."

"We will be honored, if we can get the chance to listen it live."

Shiha pursed her lips.. She don't how to let them down..

When Ruihan listened this.. He also get the curiosity to listen to her piano. So he said.. "Miss Tang! Give us a chance to listen to your piano."

Now Shiha has nowhere to go..First she thought that Ruihan will not take interest in it.

But now... Before she speaks her mind.. Ruihan had already ordered the manager to clean the stage.

The one who was playing the piano left her seat to Shiha..

Now Shiha has to play the piano.. Otherwise, people will think of her as arrogant as she is portrait.

Shiha took a long deep breath, with a steady steps she walked towards the stage..

She sat down on the chair..just as she kept her fingers on the piano, many memories run through her mind.. 'Soeur, I don't know why.. But I miss you a lot this days.' said shiha to herself..

She closed her eyes and started playing the piano..

Her fingers dance like a ballet dancer on her toes.

The tune was melodious and mind blowing.. It was pleasant to ears..

When the piano piece fell on Ruihan's ears he felt it familiar.. But he was so mesmerized by Shiha's look that he ignored this familiar feelings.

Everyone, who were present over there.. Were surprised.. It was hard to listen to such a tuneful piano nowadays. And a young lady was playing it so skill fully.. They all were mesmerized by Shiha's beauty and her talent in piano..

Not everyone can play the piano this wonderfully. Her performance was superb..

It was like an Angel playing the Heavenly song..

It was pleasing to one's ears. It has its own emotions.. One can feel the pain as well as the joy inside the piece.. It was a heart touching piece..

Right now, Shiha was playing her most favorite piano piece.. Which she had learned from her Soeur.

Her shoulder was in pain, but still she continued..

With His eagle eyes, Ruihan saw the slight change on her face.. And he remembered.. 'Her shoulder injury is yet to be healed.'

Now He was eager to stop her. But 'HOW'.. He can't go up to the stage.. He want Shiha to look at him.. But to his luck, Shiha herself, was so busy that she didn't feel the pain from her shoulder.. Her inner agony was more than the shoulder pain.. Her heart was in turmoil..

At last he gave a gesture to his Assistant, when Assistant An saw his boss look, he was confused, but still he followed his order.. He started clapping with loud sound.. Following him were many other onlookers..

It was the only way to stop Shiha..

Indeed when Shiha heard a round of applause, she was back to reality.. She looked ahead.. All the people present gave the standing ovation.. A round of applause can be heard.. Every one has a smile on their face.. Each and everyone were amazed.. They kept praising her talent..

Shiha gave a slight bow and left the stage..

Her heart was getting heavy.. She don't know why she played this piano piece..? It had been years that she played this piece. May be because..

Just right in the morning she recall those painful memories, may be She ache for her Soeur..

Ruihan saw her face.. He can say, something is amiss.. 'Is it because, her shoulder is in pain?' thought Ruihan..

'Auhh..instead of joining with those officers, I should have stop her..' he blame himself for her pain.

When the officers saw Shiha walking toward them, they all move towards the private room.. As they entered inside they bombarded.. "woww.. CEO Tang, you are great.."

"I can't believe, I got the chance to listen to your piano piece.."

"You are really praiseworthy.."

"It had been years that I heard such a piano being played.. It touched the heart.."said the senior officer..

Shiha just gave a smile to everyone..

After which everyone settled down for the lunch..

Ruihan was busy in finding the chance to ask Shiha about her shoulder.. But how can he ask her in front of every one.. Moreover to his luck! They were seated far from each other..

He kept glancing at her.. Somehow he can feel that Shiha's mood is down.. And he can only think of one reason... 'Her injury'

But little did he know that, he is getting worried about her crazily..
