FROM THE DARK TO THE LIGHT
CAMPING (3): SHOWS
"Number 30, Racheline Altair!", General MC show.
Lights dimmed. Rachel sat on the prepared chair under the tree. The bright yellow stage lights highlighted Rachel who was sitting sweetly on the chair while holding a mic with her right hand. Rachel looked simple yet sweet with an ivory-colored knee-length dress suit and matching colored blouse. Her white legs are getting more beautiful with a pair of high heels in color in line with her dress.
"I'll sing a song. Not Forever, Noah", he said before the music turned.
All eyes were on Rachel. Even though the night is late enough. Background music began to play, everyone fell silent with Rachel's charm.
"Take forever, my hands hold you
It won't be forever, this sport takes care of you
Like the beating of my heart
Not defending against time
And all that beauty fades away
Or a lost love
Nothing is eternal 4×
Let me breathe for a moment before it goes away...
It won't be forever, my hands hold you
It won't be forever, this sport takes care of you
The old soul is gone
Prepare the replacements
Nothing is eternal 4×
Nothing is eternal 4×",
A few seconds later the lights were turned off, tears streaming from Rachel's eyes, but the girl was quickly rubbed until no one could see her. But Hans's eyes did not escape him for a second.
A boisterous applause sounded after Rachel bowed respectfully to the audience and left the stage.
Saying nothing, Rachel split the crowd that gave her an applause and left. Alora understands Rachel is very sensitive to the thing that makes her remember her past, she does not prevent/follow Rachel from leaving. Alora understands that Rachel needs some alone time now.
"I don't like to be in public to sing. What I sing continues", grumbled Rachel while wiping the tears that flowed in both eyes. Rachel sat by the lake, away from the crowd.
Rachel used to be in love, but she was joking with him. Tired, Rachel chooses to leave and let go of the man she loves forever. Rachel may look friendly and a little fierce, but it's just to cover her weak side that not many people see and understand.
It's been 4 years since the last time she loved a foreign man and she didn't think she would fall in love again. Rachel was afraid that if her love was in doubt, she was afraid that her heart would be hurt again. In Rachel's eyes, there was not yet a man who could be as gentle and as deep as herself in loving her, so Rachel did not choose anyone.
"Whole sweet spicy corn pop?", asked Farhan while sitting next to Rachel.
Rachel rubbed her face quickly and picked up Farhan's corn pop and ate it.
"What's the matter?", asked Farhan as he chewed.
"Nothing. Where did you buy this?. I also want to", Rachel asked back, trying to shift the conversation.
"Take this. Free, I'm good hehe. Uh how nice your voice is, Chel. In addition to being suitable as an anime dubber, it turns out that your voice is suitable for the anime soundtrack as well as yak", said Farhan with a smile.
"The ugliness of totality", Rachel said.
"I am very angry with Lo Chel Chel. Really, seriously", continued Farhan while showing 2 fingers, peaceful/suer mark.
Rachel smiled for a while and plucked another pop corn.
"Lo, Alora, Nathan, Julian both performed. You don't make a grub band?" asked Farhan.
"Males", Rachel replied with a rese'.
"Cih sok iye", cibir Farhan.
"Tu really know. We are 4 males. You see later the audience can convulsing charm+our voice", continued Rachel with PD.
"Silihhh to P. D.", again Farhan's brother.
"Where is. That's a fact well", Rachel replied seriously.
Rachel's phone is shaking, a sign of an incoming call. Rachel picked him up immediately.
"What's?. What time is it?. Still on the phone?", asked Rachel who immediately nagged.
"Iye iye tau. It's about the operation. I ran out of a special team meeting for the operation", said the voice of the man across the phone.
"So soon okay", ask Rachel.
Farhan did not understand what Rachel and the person on her phone were talking about, she just listened while eating her corn pop.
After a few minutes, Rachel returned and stood beside Farhan who was still sitting sweetly on the bench.
"Gue went back to Han" Rachel's camel as she walked away from Farhan alone.
"Yoi", Sahut Farhan while nodding.
"Number 44,Nathan Arevans Alexander and Laurensius Julian Mahendra", call the host of the event.
Instantly a boisterous applause and cheers on the girl sounded boisterous. The spot under the Ek tree is actually more eamai than the pavilion spot, that is because the presence of campus idols is under the Ek tree, not in the pavilion.
"Ekhem-ekhem. Patience to the audience. Here we want to sing a song by Iwan Fals, the title is Lonteku", said Julian while holding his favorite guitar and sitting next to Nathan who was also sitting on his own guitar.
"Wahh hahaha", some of the audience seemed amused because of the title of the song. But they still gave applause because the song was performed by 2 campus princes from Phoenix University.
"Wuuu zaht Juliann-Natannn", cheered the crowd of girls watching while filming the two of them.
Nathan begins to play his fingers on his guitar strings, making a beautiful melody chime along with the sound of Julian's guitar accompanying him as well.
A girl in a calm green suit and plain black jeans stood a short distance away from Julian and Nathan, she looked at Julian with feelings.
"The wind that night
Bring my run in your arms
You wipe the wounds all over this body
"Hide hide, "you say
There is fear on your face
When the officers came looking for me
I'm sorry, thank you for your help that night
My lion, close to me
Let's continue the story tomorrow
We walk in a black world
The seed of love does not see who
Even if everyone gets rid of us
Hold hands tightly, we step
I'm sorry, thank you for your help that night
My lion, close to me
Let's continue the story tomorrow
We walk in a black world
The seed of love does not see who
Even if everyone gets rid of us
Hold hands tight, we step
I'm sorry, thank you for your help that night
My lion, close to me
Let's continue the story tomorrow
I'm sorry, thank you for your help that night
Let's continue the story of tomorrow",
Nathan and Julian closed their chants nicely and compactly. The songs are sung alternately including classical songs, so that makes the listener stunned when he heard it. Their soft but slightly contrasting voice can unite beautifully in the song.
Crowds of applause were heard filling the place. Before leaving, Nathan and Julian throw their never-failing smiles at the girls. The girl in green clothes caught Julian's attention and instantly made him approach her.
"Ririi sayangg", call Julian while hugging the green-clad girl warmly and tightly.
Yep, that girl is Riri, Julian's girlfriend. A beautiful girl with plump fingers and a myriad of talents capable of making a crocodile master named Julian fascinated him.
Nathan did not want to lose and immediately hugged Aayra who attended the show while carrying a bouquet of flowers as a gift for Nathan.
The girls and single men there can only bite their fingers and cluck annoyed at the romance of Nathan-Julian with his 2 beautiful girlfriends.
Alora waited for her turn to sing. Alora gets the sequence number 40. Knee-length dress that is brown with kimono model looks very fitting on her tiny body.
Alora doesn't really care about Nathan & Julian being dating. After all, Alora and Rachel will stay away from Nathan and Julian for a while, as long as the 2 girls of his best friend's heart are still with them.
Aayra and Riri are cousins, only if they tell each other about their relationship with Nathan & Julian. But Nathan & Julian never showed their closeness to Rachel & Alora in front of Riri & Aayra. It was their 4th way of keeping Riri and Aayra feeling.
"Number 49,Elions Moon",common host.
"Eh Elions performing?. Whattt????. This is the first time he has appeared in public. He wants to sing!", cried a girl who stood not far from Alora.
The lights were dimmed and 1 big light panned the Elions who were sitting sweetly on the chair while holding the mic in his right hand. Music starts playing. Elions did not give her opening greeting or mention the title or songwriter she was carrying. The audience was a little curious. But hearing the sound of the piano at the beginning of the song, makes them look smiling.
"Truly, and I am the owner of your heart
You are the deepest love
With me, you can be happy...
As appropriate, you are totally for me
Perfect when you're with me
And with me, we're happy
Forever...
Oohs...I swear, I love you
Really, I'm crazy because of you
I swear to death, my heart to you, nothing else
Dead my race without you, stop my breath because of you
I swear I love...
Verily, I am the owner of your heart
You are the deepest love
With me, you can be happy...
Forever..
I swear, I love you
Really, I'm crazy because of you
I swear to death, my heart to you, nothing else
Dead my race without you, stop my breath because of you
I swear I love...
As appropriate, you are totally for me
Perfect when you're with me
And with me, we'll be happy...",
For some reason, Elions' eyes were only glued to Alora while singing the song. Her deep, soft, beautiful voice made anyone drugged to hear her. Alora was made to smile at the singing of Elions, she did not expect that the Elions bar turned out to have a beautiful voice.
It was soon Alora's turn to sing. Rachel had already put the ON clip (mic bando) on Alora so that the girl had no trouble holding an ordinary mic. It just so happened that Alora got the 50th sequence number, the last number, and the digital clock already showed at 00.23 p.m.
"Dannn our final participant. Number 50, Alora Eclipse!", said the host.
Nathan, Julian, Riri, Aayra, Farhan,Reza, Mila, Elions, Indra, Hans, and Zidan looked at Alora while sitting on the mat provided by the committee. Although it was late at night and many people left the show because they were sleepy/not interested in Alora's appearance, certain people were still willing to wait and see the performance of Alora. The tiny blind from the stone cave.
Background music starts playing. A light melody blending piano and guitar into his background music. In the seconds that followed, Alora closed her eyes and began to sing. The sound of the merdunya similar to a sparrow is heard playing beautifully along with the atmosphere of a cold but romantic night.
"I never felt it...
The taste is long gone
Now come back, when you see you...
I want to feel this, to have you
But it was all just a beautiful dream for me...
Will you feel my love?
Trained me to love you...
It's like everything's haunting, though,
This journey of life
Scraped all just in the recesses of the heart...
I'll keep all the feelings I've felt
No way, I'm forgetting everything...
To you, which is too beautiful to have
And let me keep all this...
I didn't realize...,
It feels painful when love cannot have
But it hurts even more, when it has without being loved
I'll keep all the feelings I've felt
No way, I'm forgetting everything...,
To you who are too beautiful to have
And let me keep all this...",
Alora stood up and bowed respectfully at the end of the song and walked away from the spot, people who heard her voice clapping applauded while recording it on their phones. While Nathan, Rachel, and Julian just smiled while clapping like the others.
They used to sing with Alora 3, so they were not surprised by Alora's voice. Nathan and Julian also used to accompany the singing of Alora or Rachel who could not play guitar.
The day's event closes with a wonderfully sweet chant of Alora. The event organizers in charge of today's event immediately gathered to clear the stage and other musical/dance equipment at the 2nd spot.

At 3:20 in the morning, Zoza Lake's main pavilion.
The full moon shines brightly in the star-studded night sky. The beauty of it became clear due to the absence of cloudiness tonight.
Elions peered down at the pavilion filled with perfectly blooming lotus flowers. Elions was made to smile widely upon seeing a blue-colored lotus that was very different from the surrounding lotuses.
The reason Elions smiled was that, when he saw the blue lotus flower, his brain immediately gave a picture of Alora's singing face. The blue lotus reminded him of the figure of Alora who was different from all the girls he had met.
Seriate...
