I took the medicine that doctor Alora gave me while the break was going on, before long Grece, Yohan and Aiko came to see me backstage. I, who was lying limp, could only smile at their arrival.
"You why Luna?!" grece asked frantically, he immediately ran over and approached me.
"All right, I'm just tired" I replied with a smile
"Your body temperature is high, can you continue the competition?" grece asked me, he sounded so worried about me.
"All good, thanks you received the idea to advance the break session. I was helped" I answered
"Luna, the break will be over in a few minutes. If your condition does not improve, you better leave the competition. Your health is more important" said Grece, I laughed a little at the suggestion of Grece at the time because I imagined Grece would force me to continue performing.
But... How could I just leave the competition, Grece would definitely be troubled if I really did. In addition to the medicine given by doctor Alora slowly - the land did relieve the pain that I had suffered since, I could feel my legs and also move them even though it still felt so weak. Not long after I tried to sit down from my bed, I wanted to measure the strength of my remaining body while hoping that I could finish this competition.
"Luna.." said father, mother, doctor Alora, Manda, Peter, Grece, Yohan, and Aiko almost at the same time as me who was sitting on the side of the stretcher bed, I laughed and said..
"Let's get this over with, I'm getting better" I chimed in with a smile on my face
The show began again, the MCs then announced to the audience who had previously attended the bazaar at the event to be held to return to approach the stage. Aiko and Mr. West hosted the show very well, they were talking on stage to give me some time to prepare.
When my father and Peter approached the curtain between the waiting room and the stage, the committee approached me and asked about my health. I replied that everything was good and I wanted to perform immediately, although it looked heavy-hearted but the man who was the lady of the show accepted my request.
Dad asked to be provided a stage seat that I could easily reach if I arrived - I needed it, although it sounded excessive but I was sure I would need it later in the middle of the event. The committee accepted my father's request and asked him what song I would sing. I replied I would sing a song by Celine Dion called All By Myself, the committee no longer asked me my basic tone to sing it and only gave me encouragement.
"Darling, you don't have to do it. It doesn't matter if you back off now, they will definitely understand you" said the father at the time, slowly I let go of my right hand that was coiled around my father's shoulder and then took off my hand that was coiled around Peter's shoulder in turn.
I felt that if the painkillers given by Dr. Alora to me worked so well, the pain disappeared almost no longer. Now I can stand up straight as before, I tried to step slowly and I succeeded. I turned and looked at my father, Peter, mother, doctor Alora, and Manda alternately, I said to them..
"This is my wish, I want to finish it so that I don't regret anything again after this is done" I said then I smiled as sweetly as possible to them so they understood I was fine
I walked towards the stage when my name was called by Aiko, I walked towards the center of the stage accompanied by the cheers of the audience and the thunderous applause. At that moment the lights began to slowly dim and leave the floodlights that lead to me, I took a long breath and then released it slowly... "My body. I beg you, cooperate with me." I murmured.
***Celine Dion - All By Myself***
When I was young
I never needed anything
And making love was just for fun
These days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the phone
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
*************************************
When the music entered on the instrument solo, I felt pain again on my hip. I had to rest because I wasn't strong enough to keep standing at that moment, when the music stopped because the singers were shocked by what happened to me in the middle of the stage.
When the music stops I feel everything becomes chaotic.I then turn my brain to keep the show running, when the atmosphere of silence envelops.
***Celine Dion - All By Myself***
When I was young
I never needed anything
These days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Never, never, never
Needed anyone
*************************************
I had finished singing the song well despite the chaos because I suddenly sat down, the sound of applause from the audience was heard. As I expected, the audience was unaware of what had actually just happened to me. Until I stopped singing I was still struggling with the pain I was suffering, but for them it was one of my gimmicks singing the song.
For those who know why I got there like that. I saw it very clearly on the look on the face of Grece, Yohan and Aiko, I smiled as I slowly tried to stand back up. For the first time in the competition, Grece made a short comment on my performance.
After hearing all the judges' opinions, I again walked towards the backstage. There my father and Peter were ready to welcome me back to make my way to the nearest couch, doctor Alora and mother ran up to me at that time and did not waste time, doctor Alora immediately checked me with her doctor's equipment.
"How are you doing?" ask Dr. Alora
"Okay, I'm better than I was before" I replied
"Are you still able to survive until the end of the competition?" ask Peter
"I will defeat you" I replied cynically, Manda and Peter laughing at my reply at that moment.
"It's one more step, right? I'll stay until then, things will get better when I win this race" I said with a slight murmur, actually I did to encourage myself.
"Lunars! is Lunar here?!" shouting someone from a distance, we all turned to look at the source of the sound.
There was a man wearing committee clothes looking for me at that moment, father approached the man to ask him why he was looking for me. Along with that the other committee called Peter to prepare to perform, Peter said goodbye to me and I replied by giving him encouragement so that he displayed his best abilities.
Not long ago my father walked up to me while giving me a note that read
***Note Content***
Lunar, I hope you'll perform Adele's All I Ask song after this. From the beautiful Grece
**************
I chuckled as I finished reading it, somehow Grece was so obsessed with hearing me sing this song. Maybe he thought I would be suitable if I sang a song from Adele, or. because Grece felt the song from Adele All I Ask was very suitable for my life, I actually thought so.
All I Ask's...
A song that tells the story of the last request of lovers who will be separated, through the song All I Ask, Adele tells the story of someone who can not be together again with her lover and will be separated forever. On their last night, she asks her lover to pretend to be happy, so that their relationship can end sweetly.
"Can I ask the same of Brother Jester when I get back? will he accept me or throw me out? I want. I want to have good memories with him.." I said in my heart, when it did not feel my tears coming back.
Father, mother, and Manda approached me and tried to calm my cries, but they actually did not know why I was crying. I regret what I did to Brother Jester. I should have made the rest of my life to make good memories with him, with the people I love...
My tears were getting louder considering all my regrets in the past, I dissolved in sadness until suddenly my father patted me gently on the shoulder as he said...
"Dad doesn't know why you're crying, but listen to what this father says.." chirped father at that time, I looked at him still letting my tears crack.
"You are not as lucky as your friends, born in a family with bad economic conditions, your social level is also not high, the connection of father and mother is not broad, either, and you have a serious illness. But look at you, baby, you have tried harder than your friends until you get to this point, that's what convinced your father was a much better son than everyone you knew" he continued, I couldn't hold back my tears.
I smashed my body into my father's body and hugged him tightly, he stroked my head gently and his hands were now firmly clutching my thin body. Several times my father gave me a kiss on my forehead, his finger also occasionally wiped every tear that came out.
"You've worked hard, baby, you don't have to prove anything anymore, we know you're a talented kid and we're proud of you" mother said, hugging me and dad together.
Immediately I no longer feel sorry.my heart felt relieved either because of crying or because of the words of father and mother, I was so happy, happy, beyond my pleasure after I was in this spot. The point is that I almost reached my goal and now.
My prince.I want to make good memories with you, wait for me yes.:).
