41 Iris! Iris! Iris! (1/2)
The main lights turned on, illuminating the entire studio. Over a minute already passed but the audience's applause and cheers still continued to reverberate.
Iris put her hands on her chest, smiling at the crowd with an expression of amazed disbelief.
”Iris! Iris! Iris!” They continued to chant her name.
Finally, the two hosts walked back to the stage. They stood beside Iris and sandwiched her between them.
Male host: ”Wow! Just wow! What an incredible performance!”
”Yes. Amazing! I'm feeling so emotional right now! My make-up is now ruined,” The female host cried.
Male host: ”Ahahaha! Don't worry. You're still pretty.”
The audience laughed. Iris also laughed.
A staff member climbed up the stage to hand a box of tissues. The male host received it and offered the box to both Iris and his female partner. Both women took some tissues, turned around and carefully dabbed the tears from their faces.
The audience was still standing and clapping and cheering and whistling and screaming.
After a few seconds, the two women finally turned to face the audience once again. The hosts waited for a few more moments before the audience began to settle down.
Male host: ”First of all, we want to say welcome back, Iris Long!”
Iris: ”Thank you. Thank you very much!”
The audience responded with enthusiasm.
”Welcome back, Iris!”
”That was so amazing!”
”I didn't know that you're this awesome!”
”I love you, Iris!”
”Marry me, Iris Long!”
Female host: ”Just listen to the audience. They loved your performance.”
Iris: ”Thank you so much, everyone!”
