Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Wesley was still busy texting Megan. The girl kept sending him messages and wouldn’t leave him alone. As a result, he didn’t hear what the announcer said. But for some reason, the entire audience suddenly erupted in a rumble of exclamation and began a big round of applause all of a sudden.

A few soldiers who were sitting near him even called out his name slightly, and he could sense that their gazes had fallen on him.

While Wesley was still dealing with his confusion, a soft voice came from the stage.

“I’m a small spray flying from a surging wave; you’re the firework blooming in the Milky Way. Your Light shines into my heart and I am about to evaporate…”

The atmosphere of the evening show had reached its climax. Thousands of audience broke into thunderous applause even before the first paragraph could end. Some of them even cheered and whistled.

The light hadn’t shone on the performer yet. But he was clear about whose voice was gracing the mic. Wesley glanced at the empty seat next to him. ‘She’s the performer too?’

The voice continued singing, “My eyes chase your light in the starry, starry night. I know I won’t be lonely with you watching over me…”

Finally, the mystery was removed and the light shone on the performer

Blair could now be seen in the middle of the stage. She was dressed in a light-purple, strapless bubble skirt, with numerous shining paillettes sewn onto the hem. It looked like an unreal dress, complemented by the beautiful stage lighting. She had originally refused to change into the dress, but the worker on the back stage had kept on pestering her till she agreed.

There was also a simple crystal crown shining on her head under the silver Light, and she Looked like a beautiful princess from a Disney movie.

Wesley couldn’t take his eyes off her. Here was something new again!

What could this woman not do? Usually, she was dressed in casuals, or in office uniform. Perhaps the only sexy thing that had ever happened with her was her night dress. And now it was this!

Blair continued to sing, “I’m waiting for you, though I know you’re beyond my reach. I hope I have the wings to fly to you. Oh…love is bitter and sweet, with laughs and tears…” There wasn’t much to rhyme in the song but that was supposed to be the beauty of it. Blair’s own eyes were brimming with tears as she sang the sentimental lyrics; the audience was far too excited to notice that though.

The truth was, she was suddenly feeling like this emotive song had struck a chord in her heart, since she had faced the same emotions when

Wesley had refused her proposal. And every time she missed him in the middle of the night, under the cover of darkness, the same feelings struck back. She had often looked up at the starry night with tears blurring her vision.

Thinking about those memories made her put much more emotions into her song. A teardrop finally fell from the corner of her eye, shining like a crystal under the bright Light. The audience was too far out back but

Wesley, who was sitting in VIP seats, noticed it since he was deeply focused on her. He felt his heart ache.

His phone still kept buzzing but now he wasn’t replying to the barrage of messages from Megan anymore; instead, he had put it back into his pocket and his sole center of attention was the woman on the stage.

Beautiful, shining, singing…

A few minutes later, she slowly ended the song on a mellow E note, which faded into the hall gradually. The music stopped. She smiled and bowed to the audience.

“Thank you.”

And she left the stage under a rumble of thunderous applause.

It didn’t take her long to change back, but Blair didn’t go back to her seat. She needed a little time to compose herself. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She had originally expected to be racked with nerves, but for some reason, things had turned melodramatic; she had been overwhelmed by sadness instead of nervousness.

Her performance also attracted a lot of single soldiers’ attention.
