The Luster of Stars in Moscow
⁇ 37
"What the fuck?" Cyzarine grumbling. "What is until the role of the Ugly Bad One is also made front and rear versions?"
One of the men in the costume of the Ugly One suddenly chuckled. "It looks like I really surprised them" he said. Then take off the mask. "Particularly Cheri."
"Saul!" Cheri and Cyzarine squealed simultaneously.
Saul chuckles. "Of course I am" he said. "Who else is it?"
"I asked him to get ready even if he was not performing so he could replace me at any time" Rafael told reporters.
Cheri let out a short sigh and bowed with one hand resting on the dressing table.
Cyzarine chuckled and shook his head. "That's it," he said amusedly. Then he grabbed Saul's arm and led him out of the room.
"You should have seen the boy's face earlier" Saul said after they were outside.
Rafael watches over Cheri from behind his mask.
Cheri was still bowing at the dresser holding his stomach.
Rafael rushed out of the room shouting, "Where is Mikail? Has anyone seen Mikail?"
Cheri watched the man's back until it disappeared.
I was really scared to death just now, he said inwardly. I thought he changed like yesterday.

"Hei—what is this?" A man shouted near the entrance. "Here is listed double cast for the role of the Beautiful, in the written program today Cyzarine Pedrova and Cheri Dutchskova will appear together as the Beautiful and the Shadow of the Beautiful. What's that supposed?"
Several visitors simultaneously rushed towards the man and crowded in front of the information bar.
"I heard the scenario has been massively revised" someone told them. "But he said Rafael Moscovich's scenario is always more interesting than ever."
The hustle and bustle on the audience bench lit up the atmosphere.
Show's starting!
"Cyzarine deft, huh?" A group of female performers were still gossiping backstage.
"of course! He's, like, used to it!"
Cheri watched the girls with a tense face. Can't not, huh? thought.
"Your stomach hurts?"
Someone's voice surprised Cheri.
Mikail knew already standing next to him.
Why does he always show up all of a sudden? Cheri groaned in his heart.
"Want to take medicine?" Mikail asked again.
"No," sergeant Cheri. "I'm fine!"
Mikail turned her attention and said nothing more. But also not immediately out of place.
Cheri glanced at him.
The man slipped both his hands into his pants pocket, looking relaxed and focused.
Does he have a lot of free time today? thought Cheri.
Why does it not feel like usual?
He is usually the busiest!
Five minutes later, Cheri glanced at him again.
That guy still exists.
"Hei—" Cheri couldn't help himself. "Tell me it's okay" he told Mikail. "Why are you still here?"
"Can't you?" Mikail glared at him.
Oh, whatever! Thought Cheri was helpless. Then hurriedly turned his face away.
Just focus on the Shadow of the Beautiful, the command to yourself.
In a moment, when the lights are turned off, I should be ready on the stage with a doskoy-with board.
"Dream of the Beautiful! Stand by on screen zanaves!" The stage supervisor shouted from the control room.
"I'm coming!" Cheri jumped backstage.
"It will start soon" the stage supervisor told Mikail without distracting her from the stage. His face looked no less tense than the players. "The scene of the meeting of the Good Beauty and the Evil Beauty?"
Mikail joined by his side without saying anything. His attention was focused directly towards the stage.
Cyzarine Pedrova sat down under the spot light, smothering his face with two hands. "I really only wanted a rose" he said softly. "But my brothers no one believes."
"You're a liar!" Cherry speaks her first dialogue. His voice sounded thin as well as blaring as it came from various directions.
Cyzarine was flabbergasted, lowering his hand from his face. "Who is that?" He looked over there.
Silent!
Sound effects dramatize the situation.
CLINGY!
"Where are you?" Cyzarine asked with a trembling voice.
The sound effect rumbled mimicking the sound of the wind.
"Here.." Cheri moved one hand like he was dancing according to Rafael's instructions at practice.
Cyzarine circled around, looking to and fro in a huffed manner.
"Look at yourself!" Cheri's voice bounces back.
The spectators gasped and held their breath.
"Somehow I feel goosebumps" sizzled someone.
"My own self?" Cyzarine repeats Cheri's words in the form of a question. He threw his body back and froze.
Cheri followed Cyzarine's movements, bending his body towards the audience in a slower but lighter motion, then stopping in the position of both hands stretched out on his sides and swinging gracefully as if floating in the water.
"Whoa—" Sesha gasped backstage. "Pose Cheri is beautiful" he said spontaneously.
"I can't believe his facial expression can be that mature!" peek at the cat actor with a look of admiration.
"Beautiful.you're a liar," hissed Cheri sharp as well as light.
Cyzarine twisted his body completely against the audience.
Cheri followed Cyzarine's movements in the opposite direction, turning his body, fully facing the audience. But it was still in graceful and light fashion like it was swimming.
The audience did not blink.
"Only I in your heart know…"
"Who are you?" Cyzarine yelling raucous.
"I am another personality that resides within you. If you're the light, then I'm the shadow."
Cyzarine shuffled back away from him.
Cheri stepped closer to her with slow motion steps. "I follow you everywhere" he said, grinning.
Mikail gulped and gulped. He looked like an illusion, he thought.
Cyzarine fell down and stammered.
Cheri let out a short sigh and bowed towards Cyzarine. "I came out because I couldn't stand it" he said half growling.
This brat…
Cyzarine.
The audience froze completely.
"Didn't the audience feel strange about the two actors who played the Beautiful?" The stage supervisor muttered without distracting her from the show.
"It's okay," Mikail responded, also without distracting her from the show. Especially from Cheri. "The image of the Beautiful is behind the scenes, especially Cheri managed to describe different dimensions with his pantomime skills. Between the Beautiful and the Shadow of the Beautiful balances this drama."
Cheri actually relied on his ballet skills this time around.
"The image of the Beautiful played by Cheri, the character is very strong." Mikail added. "With her flirtatious behavior, she was able to amaze the audience and managed to make everyone gobsmacked."
The stage supervisor folded his hands in front of his chest, then held his chin with one hand. His pair of eyebrows clutched watching the spectator line.
"Thanks to the Shadow of the Beautiful who played Cheri, the role of the Beautiful played by Cyzarine looks real and seems natural. The contrasting side between these two people is very interesting" Mikail said.
"Well-yeah!" The stage supervisor let out a short sigh. "But it looks like Cyzarine Pedrova is not satisfied!"
Mikail frowned.
Cyzarine is standing too close to the zanaves screen.
"If he stood up like that, Cheri would not be seen because he was blocked by the spot light that highlighted him" the stage supervisor said.
