41. THE CONCERT
At the scheduled time, the concert began. Attendance expectations had been exceeded, but Nina's mood was deplorable. She had locked herself in the caravan and was not responding to her recent friend Lali's requests.
The first of the two planned groups of the opening act began its performance. Lali Boon had planned a brief intervention before Nina's. The director-manager was obsessively consulting his wristwatch but remained calm. On the contrary, Marc had collapsed because the idea of canceling the concert terrified him, for which he had taken responsibility.
Nano's flight arrived at the scheduled time, but the many traffic jams dramatically delayed its departure.
The performance of the second group had begun, and some whistles were heard. While Nano was still stuck. In desperation, he saw a motorist make his way through the stuck cars, and without thinking twice, he got out of the car, stood in front of the motorist, showed him a one hundred euro bill, and said:
"It's yours if you take me to the Stadium in 15 minutes, and 50 more if I take in ten!"
The biker believed that this was a splendid opportunity to demonstrate his skills, and he gladly accepted.
“Get on and hold on tight to me, or you will fly away!”
The biker made his way between cars, and when it was not possible, he invaded the pedestrian sidewalk or any other possible shortcut.”
Meanwhile, at the concert, the situation was desperate because it was Lali Boon's turn.
“I think I have an idea to gain time, but I need an apron, a bucket, and a mop.”
The stadium guard had what he needed, and Lali transformed into a cleaning woman. She went out on stage and made it look like he was cleaning it.
“What do you look with the face of not having won the lottery's biggest prize by a number? Have you never seen a cleaning woman before? I have been told to scrub the stage because it is a mess of music notes, that you can not take a step without slipping. I am a poor girl from a tiny town, useless only to scrub floors, but what I would like to be ..., what I would like to be is a... singer!
Lali detached herself with a funny gesture of the apron, took one of the guitars from the stage, and sang her song, “I want to be a singer.” As she had not rehearsed it with the musicians from the recording studio, she accompanied himself only with his guitar.
I want a singer to be,
even though people laugh at me,
Ye, ye, yeah!
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a singer,
but my parents took it from my mind,
and I had to accept a common job
As ordinary people always have done.
But I a singer want to be,
although people laugh at me.
Ye, ye, yeah!
As a young woman, I still wanted to be a singer,
and my friends would tell me: Lali, get it out of your mind,
and I had to accept a common job
As ordinary people always have done!
But I a singer want to be,
although people laugh at me,
Ye, ye, yeah!"
Lali's song's rhythm was so lively and simple that it was easy for Nina's drummer to join her song, followed by the spontaneous incorporation of the bass. Moments later, he did the solo guitar and keyboards. It amazed Lali at the result, repeatedly repeating the phrases uncaught. The public also began took the part results, and improvisation participated by clapping their hands to the rhythm. Finally, the three colored singers joined with impressive style choirs Gospel, which applauded the audience and allowed them to gain the time they needed.
Despite the laid-back character, the director-manager was losing hope that Nano could be on time. The last call he made to the driver's cell phone informed him they were encountering great difficulties for heavy traffic, and he commented desolate with Marc:
“It will be difficult to close this year without losses.” My instincts told me that Nina couldn't work without Nano!”
“The fault is mine, and I have already resigned myself to me not deserving promotions in the next two to...”
Marc did not finish his sentence because, at that moment, a motorist with a long-awaited passenger entered the stadium:
“Here,” said Marc to the biker, “you have earned 150 euros, but I will not ride a motorcycle for the rest of my life; I thank God and me still alive.
“How is Nina?” Asked him to the General director.
“Deep depressed!”
“How much time do I have to try to recover her?”
“Very little. Lali can't keep improvising much longer!”
“I need a guitar!”
Marc hastened to answer him:
“We don't have any acoustic, only electric, and we connect them to the stadium's sound equipment.”
“Better, this way, they will believe that it is the preamble to their performance. Bring me the guitar, but in silence, that Nina doesn't find out what we're doing. It will be a pleasant surprise!”
They brought him the connected guitar to the door of the caravan, where Nina remained locked up. And the harmonious arrangements for two guitars that Nano wrote for his first song “Your eyes are the color of the sea” resounded throughout the stadium.
Nina seemed to wake up from a nightmare to a sweet dream because she knew that only Nano interpreted those chords that way. Her aching heart was pounding again with unusual force. She sat up from where she had been bedridden by a deep depression, opened the door of the caravan a little, and her heart seemed to race. She could only pronounce his name and threw herself into his arms. Nano took her in and whispered:
“Nina, I have always loved you, but until today I could not tell you ...”
“Tell me what?”
“I love you!”
Those who were awaiting Nina's recovery burst into warm applause for that emotional statement, sealed with a passionate kiss. Still shaking her, she whispered again:
“Nina, dear, there are hundreds of people out there who would like to participate in our happiness, let's not make them wait any longer!”
Nina seemed to wake up from a nightmare transformed by the magic of love into a dream and reacted with amazing vitality.
“Oh, the concert, I almost forgot! Don't you think I could sing our song by myself! I have only made one serious mistake in my life: not sharing the first success with you! I'll be ready in five minutes; you can announce to us now!”
“I will do it with pleasure!” replied the presenter of the concert.
He went on stage and tried to cool down their anger.
“Dear and patient fans of Nina! I know that you are somewhat angry about this delay, but I assure you it was worth it. Today an extraordinary love story has ended happily that began five years ago with a song that marked the destiny of two teenage musicians in one of the most beautiful and inspiring towns on our coast, and today the happy event of their reunion took place after of all these years, in which they have become two brilliant stars...”
While the animator made this emotive presentation, Nina dressed in the same clothes that she wore during the photoshoot and still in the caravan.
When Nano saw her, he exclaimed:
“Nina, you are charmingly sexy, but isn't that a bit provocative?”
“No, Nano, it's cool!”
And, holding hands, they went to the stage.
The first of the two planned groups of the opening act began its performance. Lali Boon had planned a brief intervention before Nina's.
