The day that awaited has arrived. Apparently the art teacher deliberately led all the tenth graders into the hall to do the exam on them.
Selected students will automatically get an A, and have the opportunity to appear at the school anniversary event held annually before the class exam.
The murids of the disciples filled the entire hall room. They are grouped according to their respective classes. Richard and his gang are in the last row. The IPS class has always been a cheerleader in times like these.
Aish was already very nervous, his hands even felt cold. She was flanked by her three retainers, encouraging her princess to feel better.
"Alright kids, you ask for his attention" said the teacher starting the event.
"Not everyone can perform today. Determination later the father deliberately used the floodlight. Later the floodlights will be played randomly, who will be highlighted will certainly appear forward to entertain us all" said the teacher explained.
"There will also be more votes, so there is a special opportunity for you to choose who has the right to come forward and show ability. All right, without lingering. Soon our show begins" said the teacher.
Suddenly the hall lights went out, making the students cry hysterically. "Please calm everything down" said the teacher from the top of the podium whose lights remained on. The students began to calm down.
"Please turn the floodlight" said the teacher, highlighting the lights towards the students. Spin around for a while then stop at a disciple who had to advance.
"Hopefully not me, hopefully not me" Aish said softly and repeatedly, hoping not to be highlighted by the lights.
His prayer was answered this time, a student from the language class who was highlighted by a lamp. Adrian, that's what his name is.
He stood up and advanced to the podium. After a brief conversation with the teacher. Adrian is starting soon. As per his class, apparently Adrian declares a poem about parental affection.
All the disciples were silent, pervading every verse of Adrian's poem. Aish to tears hearing it. He remembered the sacrifice of his father who had been destroyed in the beginning of his bankruptcy first, to leave Aish alone with his mother who now had to work hard for him
Seno sticks a tissue out on Aish, realizing that Aish's heart was touched by the recitation of Adrian's poem. Falen grabbed Aish's shoulder, then placed his best friend's head on his chest. He lets Aish spill his grief.
The applause sounded boisterous after Adrian finished with his poem. The student came down with a satisfied face, seeing that everything there was touched by his poetry.
The lights of the room went out again, the lights that turned back made most of the students there deg-deg an. Especially Aish.
Luck was still on his side, because up to three times the spotlight, he was still spared from having to perform this morning. There was not even a single person from his class who represented to appear first.
"Well, for the next viewer this is different. You can suggest one name in order to appear before all of us" said the teacher.
At first all the students were silent. But suddenly, I don't know who started it first. Some chanted Aishyah's name to perform.
Make the others shout his name as well.
"Aisha.. Aishya.. Aishya"
Shouted all the disciples in the hall.
Aish was so nervous, she didn't expect anyone to ask her to perform. Inevitably, he had to come forward.
"Princess's spirit, don't be afraid" Falen said.
"Princess's spirit, you definitely can" Seno said.
"Princess's spirit, show them" said Hendra.
Aish stands up from his place, his classmates encouraging him who will start the IPA-2 class to perform. He hesitates to go up to the podium.
"Please Aishyah Khumaira, from class IPA-2. So what do you want to show?" ask the teacher.
"I want to sing sir" said Aish.
"Wear what musical instrument?" ask the teacher again.
"Engmh, guitar sir" replied Aish.
The teacher picked up a guitar for Aish, two OSIS members helping to prepare a chair and standing mick for Aish to sing.
Aish's eyes are still searching for Richard's whereabouts. He looked back there, looking at her as well. He sat down with Reno and Yopi who were seen nudging Richard who was staring at Aishyah.
"Please Aishyah" said the teacher.
Aish sat down uneasily, as much as possible he would not let down Richard who had been willing to teach him for one week.
He sings well, even his friends who know the song sing along.
But in the middle of the song, Aish is wrong in strumming his guitar. He forgot to put his finger in what position to get the correct key.
"Huuuu ... get off.. get off" said his friends. I don't know who started to shout the word 'down' like that. But it was a success to put Aish down and was very embarrassed.
Suddenly an idea came into his head. He would try his best not to embarrass his three best friends, especially Richard. And most importantly, he did not want to embarrass himself.
"Please give her attention for a moment" Aish said breaking the mood, her friend began to shut up and pay attention.
"Seek help dong friends. I beg you to be willing to applaud like this" Aish said, demonstrating the applause his friends had to do.
prok. prok..
the sound of clapping from Aish's hands was followed by all of his friends. Now the clapping sounds loud and regular.
Aish began to sing again, without the sound of any musical instrument. Just the applause from all his friends.
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Aish is singing a popular song lately. Songs are often performed by vlogers and video editors to be used as a back ground for their music.
Aish make sure that all his friends know about Nathan Evan's song Wellerman.
