Always is not. Every day is.

chapter 12

It took a long time to reach at the venue and during the entire journey I was unable to stop my uncontrollable brain from wondering how it will be like there? This is the first time I am going to a concert and obviously I am way too excited than I should be. I seriously cannot wait to see Ryle perform live.

The place is huge and open, the sky above my head is like a dark canvas with so many shining stars in its lap. The place is empty right because we are early and so we are able to get to the front. I am blinded due to the PAR and the scoop lights. It's like I am staring in the middle of a spangle world in between screens and speakers and for a moment I forget about what else is there, I forget about the people around me and I am glad that I am able to do that.

After an hour the ground which was once empty is now completely filled with thousands of people. The musicians are now at the stage getting ready to serve the audience. With the decoration and all the baubles alone I am enjoying this beautiful night. I have a personal connection with these glitter balls and neon lights. Although the place is all crowded but for the first time I am not feeling insecure maybe because of the presence of Allon and Adam by my side or maybe because I have changed to some extent.

"Are you ready to experience the best night?" Allon screamed yet still I am still unable to hear her clearly because of the loud cheering voices of bazillion people around me.

"I cannot wait." I scream back.

With these words out from my mouth the entire place goes black. The lights are all shut now and it's now as dark and silent as a graveyard, everything out of sight and then within a second I spot a shadow on the stage since I am really close that is now followed by a white spot light. I don't have to see twice to know that it is Ryle. That Ryle is here with his guitar in his hands. The same Ryle who saved me with his words yet doesn't even have an idea about his own deed. As he reach the middle of the stage everyone starts hooting all at once. He is wearing a black shirt and a black pant and his hair are all messed up like always. He picks up the mic and fill my ears with his as-deep-as-the-ocean voice.

"Hello every one of you who are here to attend this concert. Who travelled far and far to get over here and catch me up. I don't know how I should say thanks to all of you because a word like such cannot describe how much loved I feel right now but I can promise one thing surely that with all my efforts I am going to give my best to make this a wonderful night." he Say while scrolling his eyes almost everywhere and then his eyes drop to mine. And it's like the world goes silent it brings something inside me and I tense up for a moment. His eyes still looking at me. I get tense even more for why is he looking at me? What if his eyes are able to see all the obnoxious things past me? With tension building up I move my eyes somewhere else.

When I look back after a second or two I see as he adjust his mic and his guitar while sitting down on a stool and with no hesitation he starts playing his songs filling me and my emotions immediately and I get lost in his words again like always forgetting about the surrounding. I stand straight my eyes directed straight at Ryle and I observe every move of his fingers and as they brush over the strings and my ears all open to soak his voice.

Be alright.

Damn, let me see
Oh across the ocean, across the sea
Starting to forget the way you look at me now
Over the mountains, across the sky,
Need to see your face, I need to look in your eyes
Through the storm and through the clouds
Bumps on the road and upside down
I know it's hard, babe, to sleep at night
Don't you worry 'cause everything's gonna be alright,
Be alright

Through the sorrow, and the fights
don't you worry
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
be alright

Through the sorrow, and the fights
don't you worry
'Cause everything's gonna be alright
be alright
