Married To Music (A Wizkid Fanfic)

51 - Ayo

I was in between changing section when from the corner of my eyes I saw Kenny running towards me on stage. I frown to myself, what on earth was going on.

I remove an earpiece from one ear and lean towards Kenny.

"What's wrong?"

"Virgil is dead and Aaliyah fainted" he broke the news. My eyes widen, "what?!" Aaliyah fainted??! "Where is she? Who's with her?"

"StefflonDon and Ms Banks, Tessa and baba Are are also with her" Kenny said. A part of me was already running towards my wife but i had to finish the show. "Okay, no one should leave her alone okay? I'll be there"

Kenny nods and runs off the stage while I wore the earpiece and faced the crowd. Immediately the lights went off, the large screen behind me displayed

Rest In Peace Virgil Abloh
1980 - 2021

I swore the gasp that erupted from the crowd was crazy! Everyone turns on their phone flashlights, I sigh and exhale loudly.

"I want y'all to do something for me, we're all going to bow our head and say a one minute prayer for our brother and friend who just passed."

I closed my eyes as all sound ceased, the entire arena became  quiet, I quickly say a prayer for Virgil and his family then for Aaliyah who I'm damn sure was crying her eyes out backstage.

"Tonight this shows you how short life is. Time is crazy man. No matter what happens in this life your legacy will always continue, my sincere condolences to your family,long live Virgil."

"Long live Virgil!!!" Everyone shouter then burst into cheers. I signal to Dj Tunez and the beat for True love came on The show must go on.

After the show I was running bacskstage, I ignored all the greetings from well wishers and friends. Baba Are met me half way through.

"Where's she?"

"She's in your changing room, her friends are with her"Baba Are replied.

I nod accepting the face towel from him, I took off my glasses and gave to him as I reach the changing room. From outside I can hear Aaliyah loud wails. I took a deep breathe and opened the door.

My heart broke at the sight of my perfect wife curled up in on a couch, crying into her hands, Steph had her arms around her shoulder while Thyra held a sleeping Thyra. I was so grateful for them in her life. Steph looks up at me, I could see evident tears in her own eyes. Man this women really loves each cause when one person cried the rest cried too. Steph taps Thyra who also looks in my direction. They both stood up, Aaliyah was evident to all this. I mouth thank you to them as they filed out.

I sat in the space Thyra once occupied, I place a hand in small of her shoulder. "Wifey?"

Aaliyah instantly looked up, to say her eyes was red or her face was an understatement, she was crimson! Aaliyah bust into fresh round of tears. "Oh Ayo!" She collapse into my hands shaking with tears. Wrapping my arms around her I rub her back letting her cry.

"I spoke to him this morning, I swear I did, he sounded fine, he said he was going to call me in the morning, he promised me he was fine, he....." her voice trails off then she gasp. "Oh Virgil! I can't believe he's dead, I refuse to believe it, yes he was sick but he assured me he still had plenty time!"
