SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 23
***Concert Day***
The crew was re-examining all the equipment before the concert began. Both from check sound, security, cameras, ticket officers, to other equipment. Although it started for another forty-five minutes, the concert venue was like a sea of people. The concert is located in the Special Concert Hall with a capacity of ten thousand people located in the city center. At this concert, they will perform seven songs at once. In the first song, the members wear black slim-fit blazers combined with material pants in matching colors. Although it looks formal, but still fashionable.
‘Yes Lord, help them. Although this is not the first, but I really hope the concert this time goes smoothly’ Emira said a prayer in her heart. Actually, he wanted to give spirit directly to the members, but they were too busy to make Emira undo his intentions.
The members took the stage after praying together. A few minutes later, there was a boisterous sound of the fans when they got a greeting from the SUN members. Cheers seemed to be on the faces of the members, as well as the ‘My Spring’ who did not stop shouting because they were carried away. Although they were reminded not to shout during the concert, they still did not hear it.
Emira was stunned to see SUN performing on stage, this was her first time watching a concert. Although they have met often, the aura when they appear different from usual. Very authoritative, cool, also interesting.
‘Once again they put me in a place that I might never go to’ Monologue Emira who was captivated by SUN's performance, as well as the fans who are currently accompanying their idol singing.
Although not like ‘My Spring’ who memorized SUN songs, but Emira still enjoyed the concert that was taking place.
After finishing the two songs, the members took a break.
“This” Emira gives a sweat-wiping towel to Khai who looks very tired.
“Thank you”
“What sister wants to eat something?” Emira asked Khai who was using an electric fan, even though the AC in the room was already very cold.
“No. Thank you” Khai replied by raising his palm.
“It seems, I need something”
“What does sister need?” Emira approached Chan who was sitting facing the AC.
“I want a cold drink. Please, get me”
“Good. Do you want to?” too Emira asked before she picked up the drink Chan wanted.
“Ya, can” Lead Zal and Dza together.
“I also want” Zhi slightly screamed when Emira had been in the doorway.
After the break, they returned to the stage. Welcome the ‘My Spring’ with cheerfulness. Fatigue that occurred backstage, as if lost was not left when the fans eagerly called their names. Being on a magnificent stage with a lot of lights and cameras everywhere, makes them shine like the real sun.
‘When I saw them on high and shining, I realized more and more that what Sheril said was true. Our only relationship, assistant and artist. Our closeness is also only part of the job, it is impossible to turn into a real family. Akh, what am I expecting? Stupid fool!’ Emira beats her own forehead.
“How?. They're so amazing, aren't they?” Mr. Arsel gave Emira a peanut-baked toast.
“Eat, you haven't eaten since last”.
“Thank you”
“Enak once” Emira said after eating her bread.
“Because of hunger, so it feels better” Mr. Arsel smiled looking at the expression of Emira like a child who was happy to be given candy.
“Can you tell me about them?” Ask Emira who is starting to be curious and wants to know more about SUN.
“They were met because of a problem, and also survived because of a problem. I know, if at first they join because they want to escape from the problem. But after becoming part of SUN, the problems they face are more and more. The pressure they felt was also great. To be reviled by the media, artists with few fans, famous for their faces, untalented, popular for luck, all of them nicknames they had once received. In fact, Khai had a very stressful attack.” Mr. Arsel paused his sentence. Closing his eyes for a moment, trying to catch his breath as well as his emotions, before returning to the story.
“In the beginning of SUN's career, we had difficulties because some investors withdrew their shares. They are influenced by the bad news that wants to bring down SUN, to not trust us and decide cooperation unilaterally. Mr. Sugara and I have also been very frustrated, because all the advertisements suddenly cancel the contract. We really felt like giving up, but when I remembered the purpose of the members joining, I became excited again. At that time I thought, even though we can't be the sun, at least we can still be the stars in the sky.”
“Then, what does this have to do with brother Khai?” Ask Emira curiously. He looked at the members for a moment, then returned to focus on listening to the story of Mr. Arsel.
“At that time of trouble, his father Khai came to provide help. Their relationship was not harmonious. But seeing that we were in trouble, he gave help for free. In fact, he invited his friends to invest in our company. Khai doesn't know anything about it, his father deliberately kept it a secret. After our situation stabilized, news emerged that SUN became famous for his father Khai. And since then, Khai got a lot of insinuations from various media. Due to a lot of bad news about her, she becomes depressed and hates her father even more. Every time I remember that, I feel guilty for not being straightforward from the start. Not only Khai, but also on other members.” Mr. Arsel took a deep breath and exhaled violently. While Emira just fell silent, trying to digest every word Mr. Arsel.
“Huh...I thirsty once!” Zhi's call made Pak Arsel and Emira turn at the same time.
“You've dropped?” Ask Mr. Arsel, “Quick get them a drink!” Tell Mr. Arsel to the crew on standby.
They went back to rest after performing two songs, then changed the costumes that had been soaked with sweat. On the last appearance, they use a long-sleeved white shirt combined with material pants in matching colors.
“You have to see it, I will give you an appearance that amazes you Zhi told Emira.
“I must have seen it. Watch out, if it disappoints!” Threat Emira.
“You just saw” Zhi pull the bag that Emira was wearing, deliberately prank it before returning to the stage. Emira who was upset was about to reply, but he did not pay attention around, until accidentally hit the stairs used to install the floodlights. The stairs almost hit him, but someone got in the way. And instead let his shoulder hit by the stairs.
“Akh!” Khai shouted as the stairs hit his right shoulder.
“What brother is okay?” Emira looks worried.
“Kak..” Zhi looked at Khai who was holding his shoulder.
“I'm fine. You don't have to worry”
“What happened?” Asked Ez who suddenly appeared.
“No. Just a small matter. Come on, we have to finish the concert!” Khai walked ahead.
They returned to the stage to perform one more song. Last song dedicated to ‘My Spring’. At the end of the concert there will be a little performance from Zhi and Chan. While in the middle of the song, Khai continues to hold his shoulder which suddenly hurts because he continues to move. There was a bit of blood that started to pierce through the white shirt he was wearing.
‘Come on, in a minute. Please, cooperate!’ Khai Gumam.
Zhi and Chan are giving additional performances in the form of traditional dance with a mixture of modern dance. The boisterous voice of the ‘My Spring’ gets them excited, but when Zhi realizes that the white shirt Khai is wearing starts turning red on her shoulders, she becomes worried and out of focus. It made him lose his balance and finally fell just like that while doing pole dance. And at the same time, Khai also fell with an injured shoulder.
