7 Surprise (2/2)
”I see, well we'll know if we hear you sing”
Before Liling could stop him, Robert had already announced that Liling would sing for them since it was her birthday, and everyone agreed, she was not in the mood but she couldn't just say no given everything they had done for her.
She smiled as they all sat down, she cleared her throat and complained shyly.
”Mm.. , I don't know what to sing ”
”Don't worry Liling, just sing anything we are here for you, fighting!! ” Xin Yong screamed.
Liling chuckled a little as she thought of what to sing. She told Xin Yong to help her get her keyboard , she placed it in the middle of the room and tapped on the keys to find a suitable key.
”Okay, I'll be singing 'From this Moment' by Shania Twain”. Smiling, she took a deep breath. She started singing as she played.
”From this moment life has begun
from this moment you're the one
Right beside you, is where I belong
From this moment on..”
”From this moment, I have been blessed
I live only, for your happiness
And for your love, I give my last breath
From this moment on.. ”
”I give my hand to you with all my heart
I can't wait to live my life with you
I can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart,
My dreams, came through, because of you”
She smiled as she sang from the depths of her soul, she closed her eyes as she played through the keys perfectly, singing melodically, her sweet soprano voice rang through the room leaving it's occupants in awe. She opened her eyes and glanced at the people in the room and then faced her keyboard.
”From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing, I wouldn't give
From this moment on.. ”
”You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers
From up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true, because of you... ”
”From this Moment....., as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing, I wouldn't give
From this moment, I will love you
As long as I live, from this moment on.. ”
She concluded and raised up her head to view the people. That was when she saw Xin Yong and most other girls weeping. 'What happened, why are they crying?'
She was wondering if she sang well, how come nobody even clapped, after a presentation, a clapping ovation should follow, but they where here staring at her as though she lost someone dear to her.
”Mm mmm ' she cleared her throat ”I'm through ” She smiled as she took her keyboard and placed it back.
That was when someone clapped, then others recovered and started clapping.
Xin Yong stood and hugged her, as she wept silently 'What is wrong?'
”Liling, I have only one sentence for you ' Xin Yong paused as she thought
