Changing Destiny: The Goddess

Chapter 3. Long-spirited

The frenetic sound of percussion instruments was heard accompanying the body of the singers who were performing on stage. With clothes that showed the back, making the young souls of the spectators even more unstoppable. Sometimes they point the microphone at the audience, which becomes a signal to invite humming.

They beat the body according to the rhythm of the music. Let go of the tired that hit all day. Replacing it with a burning spirit, following the instructions of the midwife who was showing her charm.

Although the sound that sounds is far from good words, but the shape of the body of the biduan is a plus. There is no feeling of tiredness or thirst. They seem so dissolved in the music that resonates continuously. Although the breath also appears intermittent but in no way makes their spirit extinct.

"Hows it? Are you envious of Amara and Adelia's appearance? They are so good at pampering the audience. Look, the audience is so enthusiastic in following their gestures."

The sky tightened its body towards the Goddess who was currently staring at the appearance of Amara and Adelia on the stage. Both corners of his lips were forced to remain curved even though low self felt increasingly mountainous.

"Yes, Amara and Adelia did look so stunning. Both of them were very good at entertaining the audience."

No longer want to argue with the Sky about all the shortcomings that exist in him, in the end Dewi followed where the direction of the Magatra malay orchestra manager talks. He even intends not to speak or defend himself if the manager will still underestimate or demean him again. Being at the saturation point is what is currently a natural Goddess. Stripped, humiliated, reviled, he will try to accept with grace. And for the moment he chose silence, not caring at all.

"You finally admit it too. If it's like that, you won't accept it if I dismiss you right now?"

The body of the Goddess who had previously sculpted, stared intensely at the stage action of Adelia and Amara was immediately aghast. Even the girl tiptoed when the shock in the chest felt so strong. It tightly bound his body and mind that had previously been engulfed by fatigue.

"What, bang Langit will stop me from this malay orchestra? Did I hear wrong?"

The goddess tried to confirm once again what she heard. The girl hoped that what she heard was a big mistake, but the nod of her head signaled by Heaven further confirmed that what was heard in her sense of hearing was indeed true.

"I decided to lay you off Dew. Because I feel your existence is not beneficial for this malay orchestra. I just need people who can make this malay orchestra a high selling value. And I think the existence of Adelia and Amara is quite representative. So, from today you can leave from here."

"Is the consideration of the sky just a physical matter? Does the distinctive sound I have have any effect at all? If so, is it fair for people who have a physical form like me? Where should have the same opportunities in the music world like this?"

Disappointed, that is what the Goddess felt. That feeling is what is growing more and more sprouting in the soul. Although all his might he tried to prune the disappointed shoots but still grew uncontrollably. Fulfill the recesses of the heart that may never be wiped out by anything.

The sky looked at the body of the Goddess standing before him. Although he tried to acknowledge the advantages that the Goddess had but still, no one could benefit from what he had. He thought, by inviting the Goddess to join, there will be a music producer who glanced at the existence of the Goddess. But in fact until now there is not a single music producer who is interested by the sound owned by the Goddess.

"Don't talk about justice, Dew. There is never justice for people who are full of flaws like you. Remember, you do not have a high selling point. Your selling point is just a fraction of the two thousand you often get from that audience, okay?"

The words of Heaven successfully struck a piece of meat that was residing in the chest. This time the words Sky could really make both of his eyes open. Realize if it is just a grain of sand in the sea of pearls. Until whenever its existence will never be caught by the cornea of the eye. With or without his existence, it would have no effect whatsoever on the people around him.

"But Bang, is it ber...."

"The Sky!"

The words of the Goddess are trimmed when the voice of a person seeps into the senses of hearing of the Goddess and also Heaven. They turned towards the source of the voice and were seen, Satya was in a hurry to catch up with the two.

"Satya, what's wrong? Why do you look so hasty like this?"

"That's Bang, Haji Amir wants to meet with Abang. It seems like something very important."

Satya who delivered news about the arrival of the Hajj Amir, managed to make the sky gasp. Who does not know Hajj Amir? The richest people in the district with a treasure that will never run out seven derivatives, five climbs and three corners. Homes, cars, rice fields, yards, grocery stores are all everywhere.

"Haji Amir is looking for me? What's the need for him? No wind, no rain suddenly looking for me?"

"I don't know for sure, Bang. But earlier he said if he wanted to invite Magatra to fill the event he held. Better, you immediately meet Hajj Amir. You understand, don't you, if Hajj Amir doesn't like to be made to wait too long?"

But just a few steps he left the Goddess, the Sky turned back the body. Near him this woman who is currently glued.

"This is a severance for you. I think that's enough money to transport to find a new job."

He extended fifteen hundred thousand pieces towards the Goddess. For this time, the sky was much more polite in giving that severance than the other day. After which, the Sky rushed to leave the Goddess.

As for the Goddess, after receiving the money sheet, her body just stared and was stunned to see the Sky's back growing longer disappear from view. For this time, he was completely defeated by the circumstances.

He took a small mirror from the pocket of his pants he was wearing. He looked at the shadow of his face reflected through the mirror.

"I swear, I will change my appearance until nothing else can demean me. For the first step, I'll start from my facial treatment."

"So, sir Haji wants to hold a Thanksgiving event and wants to be filled with religious songs?"

Accompanied by Amara and Adelia, Sky sat on a long chair made of wood and faced Amir head-on. His chest rippled because it turned out that the purpose of the arrival of Amir was an opportunity for the rupiah coffers that he would collect to flow more and more.

"Yes, I would like to invite Magatra to fill out the thanksgiving event that I will hold. Hows it? Do you approve?"

"I agree, sir. However, usually the songs we bring are dangdut songs and songs with the theme of heartbreak as it is rising..."

"Does that mean you refused my invitation? In fact, I'd like to pay a lot if you're on my show."

Amir who suddenly gave a conclusion, suddenly made Heaven shake his head. He didn't want an opportunity like this to just disappear. Because a rare opportunity like this would definitely not come a second time.

"No, that's not what I mean, sir." The sky dribbled its bead towards Amara and Adelia who were currently polishing the powder on each other's faces. "How's Ra, Lia? Are you able to perform religious songs?"

The two singers who were struggling with make-up in her hands were immediately jolted. Amara and Adelia throw each other a glance. A moment later the two nodded at the same time.

"Can Bang, we can perform religious songs."

A smile rose on the thin lips of Heaven. He can be a little quieter because the two vocalists he has are able to fill the show owned by Amir.

"Well Mr. Haji, me and the team can fill the event that Mr. Haji held. But it must be with advance payment. How's it?"

Amir just smiled. For a sixty-five-year-old man it does not matter what he has to pay.

"You take it easy, I'll pay the day before Magatra performs. But I ask, at the event will be filled by the Goddess. One of the vocalists you have."

"Goddess?"

Now it was not only the Sky that was shocked half to death. Adelia and Amara also felt what the sky felt. All three were equally flabbergasted because the name of the Goddess was requested by Amir.

"But sir, the Goddess is no longer with me. How about I change with Amara and Adelia? They're much better than the Goddess."

The sky is trying to carry out the negotiation process. It is beyond expectations that the figure of the Goddess is what Amir wants as a singer in the show he has. The figure of the singer who previously he caci maki, today it is precisely a singer who has a high selling price. Even the owner of the event dare to pour more costs as long as the event he will hold is filled by the Goddess.

Amir shook his head. As a sign, not agreeing to the offer given by the Sky. "No, I don't want to be filled by anyone but the Goddess. Because the Goddess is the one I'm looking for, not the two people you're offering this."
