Not Glass Cans

19. Dinda Substitute Dinda

Garrick approached with a glint of sharp, pitch-brown eyes. I set the horses in reply if he forbids or rebukes me. Call Irgi to replace Dinda I can handle, then what's my fault..Why is Garrick so horror?

"You feel you deserve to replace Dinda?" Garrick looked at me while asking a puzzling ramps, what was the right answer..

"The elses are very decent, bang. We can collaborate well !" Irgi recommended me in a convincing style. Sure reassuringly, Irgi is the lead guitarist.

"You capable?" Garrick again asked with a sharp look, his eyes underestimating my ability.

"Elsi has potential, bang. I once accompanied his voice. Especially with your sophisticated music equipment it bang. It must be more matching!" Irgi is back promoting me. I was a bit daunted by Irgi's words that automatically became my dependents.

"You really want to, El?" This time Garrick looked a little friendly, like he was giving me a chance and didn't want to force me.

"My boss, am I getting paid?" I glanced at Irgi's smile. I don't want Garrick to make a lot of profit without sharing a penny with me. Isn't inviting Dinda, certainly part of the entertainment business on his ship?

"If you don't embarrass me!" Garrick who pegged for a long time, finally responded despite containing a threat.

"What's the pay for Elsi bigger than Dinda, bang?" Irgi was trying to get my rights clear.

"It could be more expensive, it could be without wages!" Garrick looked at Irgi seriously.

" It can't be like that, bang. Don't see if Elsi's your personal er te, bang. There should be an appreciation for his ability to take the stage." Ah, Irgi! You're not concerned with the mere existence of your personal career, but the well-being of colleagues you think too!

"Alright, there's a wage guarantee for him! If the performance is bad, come out a third of Dinda's honor every song!" Garrick said as he continued to observe me. While Irgi looks wrinkled forehead, weighing profit and loss for me. While I am a hopeful observer, because Dinda's great honor I do not understand.

"Alright, bang... Elsi, do you accept a minimum of one-third of Dinda's honorarium per song?" I looked at Irgi confusedly.

"Honor Dinda's five million every song!" Irgi seemed to understand my heart. I thought for a moment.

"At least, I need to sing how many songs, Gi?" I looked at Irgi with sparkling eyes.

"Five songs, but maybe more... It depends on the audience!" Irgi looked at me warmly, as if encouraging me.

Ah, I'm excited, Gi! At least I'll fan eight million by singing five songs. That's not hard for me to do.

Remember when crazy up the mountain a long time ago. Me and my friends like to busking with door to door throughout the village that passed on the hiking trail. Of course, in addition to being happy, also for the sake of strengthening funds in our financial cash. However, we need additional funds large enough if there is a plan to climb outside the city or outside the island.

I was one of the regular vocalists among my team of acolytes. Usually this way, for example we climb with the number of twelve people, it will be divided into three groups. Each group will have one vocalist, and we walk very far apart. There are dozens of houses to be visited. Imagine... How many times have I sung? Don't salute me!

But the route we passed was exactly the same. We'll join again at the end of the line, by bringing together our revenue, pretty decent isn't it?

Maybe this way, you don't like it. I admit this was the era of jahiliyah in my teenage years. But I think my group is quite entertaining and liked. They'll buy me money after I've spent every song.

Most did not give me any change, but the sheets of paper, whether green, yellow, or purple, were occasionally light green. It was also once blue. But it never gets red! .he...ha..ngarep!!

"Elsi! How, you accept no?" Irgi's rebuke woke me up.

"okay, Gi... I agree!" Irgi seemed relieved by my answer.

"Ok Bang! I'm taking Elsi with me!" Irgi looked at Garrick with permission to take me. Garrick silently watched me with his lips docked.

"Tons! Hows it? Worth no?" Garrick kept looking at me, and Ton watched me from head to toe.

"Perfect, sir! Ready to perform, just make up less thick!" Watch commenting on my makeup. Ah, lebay you're Ton!

"All right, take him. Don't disappoint!" Garrick told me to look at me before my feet stepped.

"We'll try! Wouldn't it be more shame and disappointment if Elsi wouldn't change Dinda, bang?" Ah, Irgi... Garrick, go red on your face! I followed Irgi through several chairs and tables. I no longer have their lyrics around me.

*****

Irgi is a good and responsible group leader. Before the time came, Irgi gathered us. Irgi gave us enough time to fill our stomachs backstage.

The team of music players who will play with me is five people, six with me. All men, I am the complementary woman as her vocal. I don't know each other's roles. All I know is Irgain's guitarist. Irgi had invited me to practice just by being accompanied by string quotes on his guitar.

Given the time is very tight, Irgi agreed that I focus on the guitar quotes. Irgi would always stand close to me while singing, so that I could hear the guitar passages clearly. While other friends, will be escorts, follow the direction of vocals and guitar with the musical instruments they will play. I continued to agree, because I really understood what Irgi was saying.

****

"All right, ladies and gentlemen!! "

"We've got Dinda's replacement!!"

"Now we have our new guest star!!!"

"Sir Dinda!!!!"

"The name is the same, brother!!!"

"Minda! Elshe!!!"

"We welcome! Dinda's Dinda's replacement!!!!"

"Together with the band!!"

"Band Batam Land!!!"

"We Welcome!!! Give a big round of applause!!"

A greeting from the terrible voice of the MC is heard blaring in the ear. Irgi coded me to prepare to come forward immediately. Irgi took me on stage, blending in with him and his friends. We are like band members who have known each other for a long time.

The first song I brought was a happy birthday song for the owner of this show, according to Irgi's request to me. And as a bonus, the new year's song is also sung very brilliantly in front of the invited guests of the party and the people involved in it.

They seemed to be quietly amazed by my clear and melodious singing. I sang without a doubt in my heart. Irgi was so loyal to playing guitar near me, I never lost my intro, direction, and singing tone thanks to his guitar quotes.

Five songs, with bonus birthday song and new year has been a success we bring. All hands clapped hilariously for a long time tirelessly. With relief and happiness, we were ready to disappear backstage.

The MC called us back. The MCs asked us to sing one more time to perform a birthday song at the request of the show's owner, as well as the birthday traveler.

"To bang Anthony Ferdiyan Lung, we wish you a happy birthday, may you live a long and smooth life throughout the busnisnya! For bang Anthony, please take the stage to join the birthday song that we will present!!!"

Irgi with his distinctive voice gave a speech before I sang a birthday song. A man was seen coming up the stage from the front. Hah.is that Anthony? I know him!

The man was wearing a shirt with stains on his stomach. Well, he's the guy I hit with my hand and hit by my skewer. Is he really Anthony? That Chinese tourist on birthday?! The natureak!! This party event is as narrow as spinach leaves!
