After the competition, she went with her mother to Ryan's old grave, which was hidden in a corner of the city. They placed flowers there, and Ishani placed her medal there.
"Your melody is now in every heart in the world, Ryan," Ishani said to herself.
Just then, a light snowfall began. Out of season, just like it used to happen when Ryan was around. Ishani smiled and looked up at the sky. She was sure that somewhere, Ryan must be smiling.
No one cried in Music Room 404 anymore. New artists came there, claiming that sitting there and playing the piano produced the most beautiful melodies. Ryan's last tune had become a new beginning.
