TO SHOU WITH LOVE

67 - FOUR YEARS AGO

On the stage, Davika and her band finished their performance and exited from the other side.

The host went on stage to interact with the audience: “Just now, Teacher Davika’s performance can be said to have captivated everyone. I could even hear the heartbeat from the audience. Do you all think it was beautiful?”

The audience cheered loudly, and the host continued, “Now, please welcome the last group of mentors and bands to collaborate. Shall we shout out their names together?”

“Sailub Hemmawich” and “Asperatus” were shouted out by the audience, mixed together and not distinct, but the high spirits quickly spread throughout the entire studio.

Sailub calmly took a deep breath and looked at the three members of the band. “Let’s go.”

“Lead the way, mentor.” Thanapon stepped aside to give him room.

In such situations, there was nothing much to yield, so Sailub walked in front of Thanapon and led the three members of the band onto the stage.

As soon as they appeared, the shouts from the audience erupted like an explosion, even louder than before.

Seeing the group standing on stage, the host continued to interact with the audience.

“Do you all remember the last time you saw Sailub  Hemmawich on stage?”

“Four years ago!” the audience shouted back.

“Do you also remember the last song you heard him sing on stage?”

“Fall Into My Dream!”

“So, are you all looking forward to this long-awaited performance?”

“We are!”

“Next, everyone, get ready your ears to listen to this performance of ‘Fall Into My Dream Remix: Light Peck’ played by the Asperatus band and sung by Mentor Sailub Hemmawich!”

Instantly, applause erupted from the audience, as if thunder had struck.

However, Sailub was completely stunned.

Earlier interactions between the host and the audience made him uncomfortable, but he dismissed it as the host hyping up the atmosphere.

But now, what was happening?

He had clearly agreed with Ping to inform the host in advance and only handle the guitar part.

So why did the host still announce that he would be singing?

Several spotlights converged on Sailub’s body, and time seemed to stand still.

Standing on stage, Sailub could see the faces of everyone below, hundreds of people, each with a different expression.

There were genuine expectations, forced enthusiasm, excited faces, and even indifferent ones just waiting to see what would happen.

It felt like he was suddenly back on the stage of the concert four years ago.

Each response from the audience below was deafening, but to him, it sounded muffled and weak, as if through a thick wall.

In contrast, the noise in his body became noisy.

First, there was ringing in his left ear, then his right ear began to emit a continuous crackling sound like electricity.

Every breath felt like a hurricane rushing into his ears.

His heart also made loud pounding sounds, heavy as if a hammer was striking his blocked eardrums.

A voice suddenly appeared in his mind—”Sai, I also want to tell you that this condition can fully recover, but the fact is, it’s very difficult, extremely difficult, so we can only try to reduce its recurrence frequency…”
