Chapter 86 - Im amazing (1/2)
”Hello Everyone. I'm Jin Cearo. And this here is my friend Li Heya.” Heya didn't bother raising her head to wave at them. She was a bunch of nerves. She was positioned to play the keyboard. She still remembered how people had looked at her when she walked over to the stage. She looked beside her. There was Cearo, who was on the mike. He had agreed to sing with her. The moderator had refused because they were giving out just a ticket. But he had told them they needed just one. They were both doing this for his Nephew anyway.
It would be the second time playing in front of a crowd of close to a hundred people. The first wasn't something she wished to recall. ”We'll be doing an English song. 'Read all about it' by Emeli Sandé”
He signalled for Heya to start playing. She looked at Sara who was standing in the front, looking at her. Sara gave her a small smile and an encouraging nod. Beside Sara, Cearo's nephew was also standing there. He gave her a bigger smile and thumbs up. Heya smiled back. She took a deep breath and carefully hit the chords. Both Sara and Cearo smiled when she finally did. The tune was soft and smooth. Cearo started
????*You've got the words to change a nation
But you're biting your tongue
You've spent a life time stuck in silence
Afraid you'll say something wrong
If no one ever hears it how we gonna learn your song?
So come on, come on
Come on, come on*????
The crowd were awed by his voice and fluency with the English song. He signalled for Heya to sing the next part. She sang. It was the first time Sara heard her sing. Her voice was simply excellent.
Heya was not looking up. She only looked at Sara who was smiling proudly at her. She felt the song was speaking directly to her. A song Cearo had chosen so carelessly. She felt it was for her.
????*You've got a heart as loud as lions
So why let your voice be tamed?
Maybe we're a little different
There's no need to be ashamed
You've got the light to fight the shadows
So stop hiding it away
Come on, come on*????
Her eyes gradually pooled. She could finally see that she had disappointed herself. They both Sang. They flowed so well. As if they had both rehearsed it countlessly.
