*****************************************************************
Time: 12:55 PM
Venue : Hardley University Auditorium
There are nearly 10 teams that have gone to the finals of Southyorkshire Vocal. Each team should consist of 2 lead singers and instrument players like pianist,guitarist,violinist and drummer. Usually,the typical size of team should range from 4-6 people. Angela's team comprised of four lead members. They are Angela@Lead singer, Binny@Leadsinger, Aseem@drummer and AJ@guitarist. Ziyi was a member of the team and responsible for co-coordinating between them and Zaw was responsible for costumes and instruments.They supported at the back end.
Angela was extremely nervous as her other patner Binny hasn't arrived at the venue. On top of that, unfortunately , during lucky draw picking, they got the number as '10', which means that they are the last team to perform. The more end your performance is, the more confidence you loose !! Every splendid performance ahead of you creates an unknown fear. She wanted to practice once again but her partner hasn't reached. But poor Angela doesn't know that it was Zhang Wei's idea to pull her performance from first to last.
On the other end, Zhang Wei was furious as well. There was an accident that happened on the highway. As a result, the entire road was blocked. It would take at least 1 hour to reach the venue but there seems to be no chance of traffic clearance.
Zhang Wei looked at Jiang Chen and his expression sounded like ,"HAHAHA you had this day !!". He closed his eyes and thought, " Jesus !! Lately why are you angry with me? Let's deal our disputes separately. Why don't you let me see my dreamy's performance today ?? Please Jesus, do some miracle "
Suddenly, the traffic started clearing. He looked at Chen sarcastically and said ," Look, Jesus blessed me ... Hmph !!"
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and said," I genuinely feel pity for Jesus"
"You..you..you..", Zhang wei stopped arguing. He should focus on his driving and ignore this crazy idiot for now..." Oh my dreamy..!!! I am coming darling "
**********************************************************************************************************
As Angela was about to breakdown from nervousness, her partner suddenly appeared. Angela rushed to her with anxiety and said, "Binny... Where have you been ? Do you know how long we waited ? Never mind ..Let's go and register "
"I have already done my registration", Binny replied arrogantly.
"How is that possible ? The entire team should be present for registration", Aseem questioned back.
Except for Zaw and Ziyi,others were surprised. Suddenly Ziyi coldly said, " Don't tell me that you registered with some other team ?"
Binny laughed out loud and said, " As expected from you Miss Genius !! Don't roam with these bunch of idiots. It will degrade your IQ"
Ziyi angrily looked at her and said, "Get lost". Binny wanted to revert back, but her new team mate pulled her back. She said, "Are you stupid ? Don't you know that she has a knife in her mouth. Don't spoil your mood now. Come, let's go "
After those two left, Angela sat down in despair.Everyone knows how important this competition is for her!! She has been continuously practicing for the last four weeks which ended up even loosing her weight. Aseem looked at Ziyi and said, " What if we try to convince her ?".
Ziyi looked at him blankly. Before she could answer, Zaw responded saying :" Haven't you read the rules ? Once registered, you can never change the team. In fact, Icey saved us a lot of time wasting in arguments. Now that I think about, getting the last chance to perform is indeed a blessing. Let's look for an alternate singer now"
Everyone agreed with Zaw's reasoning. His reasoning is always perfect.They still got an hour time to find the replacement. The clock is ticking but even after half an hour, they couldn't find anyone. Suddenly Aseem rushed and said, " Angela !! Do you know what ??The round is not as what we expected. Every lead singer would get a theme and they must sing one each song in English and a different language. As expected from the top Zhang corporation !! The round is really hard and till now the participated four teams didn't do well. I think it's going to be a good opportunity for us since none of them did good"
Nodding his head, Zaw replied, "Since the task is difficult, it will be equally tough for all the teams.Even if we make a little progress, We will be in the top 3."
Everyone agreed but suddenly Ziyi raised a question :" Everything is okay guys !! But where are we going to find an another lead singer now ? "
Suddenly everyone pointed their index finger towards Ziyi . She couldn't understand what's happening around her and Ziyi wanted to desperately run away. She replied, " Guys !! Don't be crazy..This is not a Quiz contest or some group discussion competition. I never sang a song in my entire life and only God knows how my voice would sound. For the heaven's sake, please leave me."
Before she could say further more, Angela hugged her hard and said, " Ziyi !! Didn't you always used to say 'as long as you work hard towards your dream, nothing can stop you from achieving it'. I tried everything Ziyi !! This is my dream. Please help me to achieve it. You are my only hope now "
Angela's words touched Ziyi's heart. She said ,"I will try my best. Incase if I fail, please forgive me !!".
"You..standing next to me itself is equal to winning !! I will remember it as an another milestone in our friendship",Angela replied happily. Zaw snorted and said, "Stop praising one another !! You have got all day after the conference. Ziyi..get ready soon. We got only 15 minutes left"
Just then, Zhang Wei's car arrived at the Sheffield city entrance. In another 5 minutes, he will reach the venue. Jiang Chen looked at his excitement and felt happy. Why didn't he never experience this kind of stupidity ? why was it only her ,who did everything for him ??
In exactly 5 minutes, the car entered Hardley University. The university is really a vast campus spread over more than 300 acres. He followed the navigation maps and finally his car stopped infront of a old building.He thought that was the auditorium. He got down from the car and asked one of the students for the Hampton hall, the guy replied : " Sorry sir !! This is the old building. You must go to the new building"
Zhang Wei was super crazy and he tried to call the manager to delay the program but unfortunately, no one picked up. He sat in the car and drove towards the new building. After reaching the new building, he grabbed the keys and asked Jiang Chen to purchase the parking ticket. He asked him to come to Hampton hall and rushed away. Jiang Chen felt "This guy is hopeless !! He purchased the ticket at the university counter and started walking slowly"
Zhang Wei rushed inside the auditorium hall just at the moment Angela was about to sing. She picked up her theme from the draw as 'Love '. Then she chose to sing 'Love me like you do' of Ellie Goulding and her voice sounded amazing with AJ's guitar and Aseem's drum beat.Zhang Wei never imagined that Angela could sing that well. He couldn't take off his eyes from his Angel this time.She was just mesmerizing. The very next song she sang was an Indian song , "Tum hi ho" from Aashiqui 2. Nobody could beleive that she is a non native speaker of that language. Her pronunciation was clear and vivid. After Angela's performance,it was Ziyi's turn. As she picked up the draw, her theme came out as 'Love break up'. Everyone shouted from the audience.The only team that got two extreme theme emotions was team 10. One is about love , the other is about breakup.
Even Aseem and AJ were surprised looking at the theme because from the list of themes they gave, there was never a break up theme. They looked at Ziyi but asusual, she was cool and composed. She looked at the audience and said, "I am going to sing Selena's feel me song". Her song choice surprised everyone in the audience. That particular song is really hard to sing and the accent requires absolute perfectionism..
Jiang Chen entered the auditorium but it was hard to find him. There were thousands of students present and the auditorium was pitch dark. He could hear noises but can't see anyone. Suddenly, there was a spot light on some girl,who was standing on the stage.
The girl started singing slowly :
"No one love you like I love ya
Never cheat, never lie
Never put no one above ya
I gave you space and time
And now you're telling me you miss it
And I'm still on your mind
We were one in a million
Our love is hard to find "
Jiang Chen didn't pay much attention at the beginning but slowly her voice started touching his heart doors... As he lifted his head and looked at the stage, the girl continued to sing :
"Do you stay up late just so you don't dream?
Every time your lips touch another
I want you to feel me
I want you to feel me
Every time you dance with somebody
I want you to feel me
I want you to feel me
Do your days get a little bit longer?
Nights get a little bit colder?
Heartbeat a little bit louder?
Hah-ah-ah-ah-oh
Days get a little bit longer?
Nights get a little bit colder?
Heartbeat a little bit louder?
Hah-ah-ah-ah-oh" //Credits : Selena Gomez
Every single line of this song penetrated deep into his heart. As he started walking closer to the stage, the girl's face is becoming more visible. Her beautiful smile, personality, long hair, perfect lips,honey eyes, long eye brows....she looks like ......my Ziyi !!
No...she is my Ziyi..... My Ziyi is alive !!!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Wei said, " Certain diseases have no cure !!"
