《Unfinished》17. Giacoso
Advertisement
With Leah's help, Kento's house renovations were finished in just under 4 months. They were able to add an extra bedroom downstairs for Kento as well as a bathroom upstairs. Leah's parents also secretly chipped in. They were grateful to Kento for his patience and perseverance when he was Leah's therapist and they also witnessed how Leah transformed back to her old self.
Kento was admiring the changes in their 'new' home when someone knocked at the door. "Sino yan?" Kento asked as he peeped thru the door gap.
"Good morning po, nandiyan po ba si Mr. Joaquin Mendez" the man on the other side of the door said. "Kayo po ba si Sir Joaquin? Ang sabi po sa amin naka-wheelchair daw po sya e."
"Ako nga si Joaquin. Bakit?"
"Sir, delivery po."
"Huh?" Kento wondered. He was not a fan of online shopping and could not recall if he ordered something online or if he had purchased something and had it delivered to their home. "Kanino galing?" Kento peeped more thru the gap and saw a delivery truck and another man standing beside it.
"Ah kasi ayaw po daw magpakilala." The delivery man said, holding out his clipboard for Kento to sign.
Kento took the clipboard and tried to read the invoice. He was slightly surprised to see the penmanship on the invoice. It looked like a doctor's hand writing! He could read his name but the item listed was difficult to decipher. After taking back the clipboard, the man walked over to the truck and signaled the other person to open the door. He set up a ramp. Moments later, the two men were pushing an upright piano toward the living room next to Kento's door.

Kento stared at the piano. The delivery man turned out to be a piano tuner as well so he 'set-up' and tuned the piano after he and his companion brought it inside the house. Presently, Kento just stared at it, dumbfounded and very much confused with the present.

Kento stared at his phone for a while. It rang and brought him back to the present.
"O, bakit?"
"Dude, pinapatanong ni Gab kung na-deliver na ba daw yung piano dyan?" Lucas called. His partner, Gab, also worked at the clinic where Kento worked. Gab was the one who initiated the GoFundMe for Kento. "Nga pala, sabi din ni Gab, tonight din yung house blessing. Si Leah..."
"Whoa! Teka, ano?"
"Tonight, house blessing. Tayo-tayo lang. Sina Leah and family. Family mo. Kami ni Gab, at yung mga boss nyo at konting staff ng clinic. At siyempre, si Father Arnel."
Kento was surprised with what Lucas said. He had been worried about where they would get the money to pay for all their expenses that his medical needs plus their renovation entailed. While hospitalized, Kento already thought about proposing to Leah but the rising medical expenses made him anxious about how he could raise a family.
---
Kento spent the rest of the morning playing the piano. His parents were also happy with the present. It brought back many happy memories they had with that piano. Even if neither Nanay nor Tatay played an instrument, they thoroughly enjoyed listening to Ate Ai and Kento playing. They also encouraged their grandchildren to pick up an instrument. Both Sushi and Mochi played the piano while Sachi played the guitar, and Ringo was starting to learn the violin.
When some of the staff arrived, Kento burst into tears while repeatedly thanking them for their efforts and generosity. To show his appreciation, Kento gamely played the piano for everyone. Some guests took turns playing, too. Even Leah was coaxed to play a short piece, much to Kento's glee. He pulled her aside to thank her again and asked, "...kelan kaya yung violin?"

Leah glanced at Kento, squeezed his hand, and smiled. Just earlier, Leah found out that her parents were sponsors of the annual hospital benefit concert. In the past, she would attend these only as a guest, together with her parents. If they played, it was usually for the hospital executives in a very private event. This time, however, her dad requested that she play her violin – the violin her parents gifted her with. Leah reluctantly accepted the invitation because she was anxious about performing again; She had been on hiatus for a very long time.
