37. Forever and for always
The song selected for her as Shania Twain’s forever and for always. Terry panicked immediately she heard the song. She knew that Marina was good in all vocals and that song needed different vocals for every stanza. She was worried that Louisa wouldn’t manage it
” That is considered one of the hardest songs, you can’t be serious.” Terry said looking at Marina pleadingly who just grinned mischievously at her.
” What? Scared that age will loose?” Marina replied, obviously taunting Terry for her earlier declaration.
Martina saw the look of concern from Terry and she smiled Inwardly. Her heart warmed upon seeing that she was worried about her. It was also a surprise how her sister ended up selecting the exact song that was Martina and her mother’s favourite.
They would sing this song back then when her mother was healthy. Back then, she didn’t understand why her mother loved such an emotional song but after hearing about her past, age could relate. This song definitely reminded her of Mr Santos. It was a pity the man never heard her singing for him.
” It’s okay Terry, I can manage.” Martina replied.
” Are you sure?” She was still worried and skeptical about her friend’s declaration.
” You heard her, why are you so worried when she’s not?” Marina asked pulling Terry to sit on the lounge, leaving Martina aside with the mic on her hand.
Then the song beat started while Martina hummed along. Looking at her, Terry could notice the sudden change in her. She appeared to be adjusting to the mood of the song, allowing the song to envelope her mind, heart and soul.
In your arms I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me
I can still feel the words you whispered when you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms.
Marina was taken aback hearing her flawless voice going along with the tempo of the song, nothing was out of the beat. Terry was also suprised. she didn’t expect Louisa could sing so well. Her voice could be compared to Marina’s. It’s like they had the same pitch level, same vocals same everything. She was surprised, a pleasant surprise.
And there is no way am letting you go now
I mean no way never seen that day
I need to keep you forever and for always
We will be together till our old age
Wanna wake every morning to your sweet smile, always
Ronald who had just poured himself a drink stilled upon hearing that sweet melodious voice that could turn on any Man. He looked aside and saw the same expression on Dimitri. Lucas who wore his usual poker face was the same but his attention was drawn to the singing lady in the next room .
They just sat listening, nobody daring to take a sip of their drink.
Ronald had to admit that the voice was really pleasant. It was captivating and soul cleansing. He wasn’t into singers but he had to congratulate whoever will marry that one. Only her voice would be enough to clear him of all stress and exhaustion.
Dimitri was mesmerized by the voice. For some strange reasons, he found it familiar but couldn’t place his fingers in where be heard it. Then the image of the airport encounter crossed his mind. He found himself standing up and walking to the next room as if his feet had a mind on their own.
Nobody stopped him, but he didn’t walk inside the next room. He opted to stand by the door and watch.
The back of the lady holding the mic was facing him so he couldn’t see her face. From afar, she looked familiar, more like how his goddess looked. But the hair was definitely not his goddess. While her hair was Black, the lady singing had blonde hair but regardless, he felt attracted to this new lady.
In your heart I can still hear a beat Everytime you kiss me
And when we are apart I Know how much you miss me
I can still feel your love for me in your heart
That emotionally said stanza made Dimitri hold his strangely beating heart. He could feel his heart thumping loudly as if he was racing. This was something he never experienced before until that day… That day he bumped to his goddess. It was the only time his heart skipped a beat so why was it acting the same after he heard the lady sing?Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Cause am keeping you forever and for always
We will be together all our days
Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face always.
And that brought a guffy smile on Dimitri’s lips. Yes, he also wanted a forever and for always with his goddess.
Her beautiful smiling face was what he wanted to look at everything morning, every night and if possible every minute of the day. He knew he was crazy thinking that but who could blame him? Love itself was crazy so how he not indulge himself in it’s craziness.
‘ My goddess, just where on earth are you hiding?’ he wondered silently as he watched the lady singing, in her own world.
In your eyes I can see the look of wonder of he who loves me
The one who wouldn’t put anything in the world above me
I can still the look of love in your eyes
Yes, in this world, nothing was more valuable than his goddess. She was his everything and top priority. Dimitri smiled to his thoughts. He was so engrossed in the song and his thoughts that he didn’t notice when Lucas walked and stood behind him.
Lucas watched with interest the look of adoration and affection in his friend’s face. If someone ever told him that his friend Dimitri will have such a look at some point in life, he would have smacked that person mercilessly. The Dimitri he knew loathed the female gender. He was never social with them even in his work place. But now seeing him looking like a lovesick fool, he couldn’t help but shake his head. It seemed like his friend was already a goner.
” Snap from it already!” Lucas said nudging his friend who was obviously in another world.
Embarrassed after getting caught, Dimitri awkwardly cleared his throat before smiling sheepishly to Lucas.
Lucas was about to turn around and walk to his Coach when he caught the sight of a familiar figure. He stilled as he narrowed his eyes at her and she rushed to hug the Lady who had been singing.
‘ What is she doing here?’ he wondered inwardly.
