I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 28
THE HAMMERSTAIN BALLROOM, MANHATTAN
The room that was able to hold thousands of spectators was already crowded. Luckily Laras and Catherine came in early enough to earn a spot next to the stage. The atmosphere is so boisterous. The Rebellion hasn't shown themselves.
There was the sound of drum beats and lights began to shine on stage. Benjamin and his friends showed up. Rumbles were heard throughout the room, with the hysterical screams of women in all directions.
Baras looked at Ben unblinking. Oh my God, this man, his heart. As usual, Ben with his bare chest revealed his skin that was almost full of tattoos.
"New York, what's up!" exclaim Ben while holding the mic. His guitar is still stuck behind his back.
A boisterous shout greeted Ben. Mainly from the women.
"Laras .. look at your girlfriend, Gosh .. the sex!" cry Catherine beside him while prancing around. Laras laughed when he heard it. A boyfriend? Just be right!
Sexy? Sure oes. Barrel alone until amazed made. Ben, which woman is not crazy about you, cried Laras in his heart.
The guitar duet intro Marcus and Ben opened the first appearance of The Rebellion. The song Astral Dub is performed. Ben's raucous vocal harsh makes his masculine impression so prominent. His guitar shot was really awkward but did not run from the tempo of the song.
The applause and the crowd's screams resounded as soon as the song ended. The women call upon Ben's name and are greeted with a wave of his hands and a smile that can tear down any woman's faith.
"Laras ..look up, there's Anita Wallis" Catherine said, pointing to the VIP audience on the second and third floors beside the stage.
Laras looks up, sure enough, Anita Wallis, Hollywood actress and also Ben's ex-girlfriend is giving standing applause to Ben. At first glance Laras noticed Ben looking at the beautiful woman while throwing her smile. The Heart of Laras shrivels.
"Do you see how beautiful she is?" laras.
In between the audience's roar.
Catherine grabbed the shoulder of her best friend.
Seeing the change in the face of Laras who became moody.
"It's possible that she came just as an invited guest, look, there's a lot of famous musicians up there" Catherine wrote.
Laras tried to throw away his thoughts and dismiss any speculation about the arrival of Anita Wallis watching The Rebellion concert.
"Let's have fun!" catherine exclaimed while inviting Laras to follow the sound of rock music that was reverberating.
Baras' attention goes back towards Ben, man
it was like being immersed in his own world.
Moving around here and there wrenched everyone with his guitar riff. Sitting down, standing up, jumping around while curling the guitar.
"Okay .this is our new song from our new album, it's called The sun kingdom queen."
Ben's voice reverberated, again in the thunderous applause and screams of the audience. Including Laras clapped.
This time the song was heard
slower. But the sound of guitar distortion is so heavy. Not lost a shred of stoner atmosphere The Rebellion thick. It seemed to be swept into his song. Try to deepen the sentence per sentence in the lyrics.
Right in the middle of the song Ben plays the melody very neatly. His eyes closed,
The song ended, the audience applauded. Hysterical screams are still heard. Laras looks up at Anita Wallis, then turns to see Ben.
They looked at each other and smiled at each other. Barrels are not stupid. The girl could interpret Ben's eyes on the woman.
The barrel breathed deeply. Suddenly his heart felt lonely. The room was so crowded and crowded. I don't know, it feels like he just wants to get away from everything.
"Hey, let's move your body!" catherine exclaimed as she grabbed her hand and forced her to prance along to the stomping music. It seemed that Laras was really not excited anymore, Laras wanted to leave the place immediately.

Ben opened his eyes, stroking an arm that was coiled around his neck. Then kissed the top of the tanned head that was now immersed in his chest. The woman in his arms is Anita Wallis, her former lover who suddenly came to watch her concert last night. Ben was both surprised and pleased with his arrival all the way from Los Angeles. Anita is the woman who messed it up. Making him adventure from one woman to another, trying to remove his heart wound.
And here they are this morning, in Ben's bedroom after last night waving each other out. Ben can hug back the woman he once loved so much. Which may still remain a sense of love deep down in his heart.
Anita wakes up to Ben's touch on her arm. Squeezing his glare eyes exposed to the bias of sunlight that broke through the window curtain of Ben's apartment.
"Ben," Anita said in her voice.
Ben smiles. Staring at the beautiful face of the woman with a gentle look.
"You were great last night" he said back.
"On stage or in bed?" asked Ben with a smile.
Anita. "Both," he said, rising from the bed and stepping towards the bathroom.
Ben put both his hands on his head. Waiting for Anita to finish her shower. The man is confused. Wondering if all this was just the result of her shock at Anita's presence until she brought the woman to her bed.
It's not the same anymore. Ben is happy to
being near Anita but no longer as passionate as before. Like there was something empty in the recesses of his heart. Out of nowhere it came, the shadow of the sweet face Laras appeared without permission. The look on the girl's face while grumbling was so cute and adorable. Suddenly longing was beside the girl and teasing her until she was annoyed to burst into her chest.
"Ben, I gota go."
Anita's voice breaks Ben's daydream. She saw the woman wearing her clothes and putting on makeup.
"I'll take you to your hotel" said Ben. Then immediately step into the bathroom.
Anita smiled, Ben never changed, always treated her well. Foolish once he dumped her for an old film producer who promised her an important role in hollywood. He married the old man but divorced a year later. Ben was still pioneering the career of The Rebellion at that time. Honestly, Anita still loves her very much, but her lifestyle and ambition to become a famous actress in hollywood beat everything. Anita leaves Ben, following her heart. Suppose the woman could be patient any minute with Ben. The Rebellion made Ben a famous musician throughout America.
Anita is back to hope. Or even the belief that he and Ben will get back together. Until now Ben has not tethered his heart to anyone while Anita herself is alone. The woman comes all the way from Los Angeles to attend a new concert album The Rebellion brings the mission to get Ben's heart back.
And here he is now. In Ben's luxurious bedroom.
