Chapter 4:
Life Beat
On weekends, students the same age as me will spend their youth happily. Spend time with their partners, playing games or watching movies. But me. Reading books at the library is my routine every weekend. I feel at peace when I spend my time here. I also can concentrate more on learning here without any distraction. Today, what kind of book should I read? Maybe I will read this book. Its cover looks so interesting. The book is about how poor people become one of the most wealthy people in the world. I can learn something after reading this book.
After finding my seat, suddenly a random man sit next to me. I try to ignore him although he is wearing a weird outfit.
“Young man, can I ask for your help?”
That man is asking me.
“How can I help you?”
“Can you listen to this song and give your review about it?” he said while handing me a pair of earbuds.
“Are you trying to scam me? Sorry, but can you leave me alone? I dont interested in your business.”
“Please, this is my only request! I will not ask anything after this. Just give me your opinion about the music,” he said.
“Whatever then.”
I wear earbuds and listen to the song that he asked for. As soon as the intro plays, I feel so familiar with this kind of music. It makes me remember my old times. When I hear someone singing, I can recognize this singer immediately. He was once my idol when I still liked music before. Then, I look at the man. Right! He is that singer!
“Sorry but are you Ryuji?” I asked that man.
“Yes but can you keep quiet? I am trying to know what the public opinion is about my new song right now. So, what is your opinion about this song?”
“In my opinion, this song is still so good but some lyrics need to change so that it can match more with rhythm. Overall, its very good song!”
I cant believe I can meet him here. How lucky am I!
“I will take that advice! Is there any suggestion that you want to add?” ask Ryuji-san.
“Maybe you can make a duet with this song. You can sing this song with other female artists. It will be sound more romantic. This is just my opinion.”
“Don't worry. I still finding other artists to collaborate with me. Thank you for your help! Is there anything you want to ask from me? Right, this is a ticket for my concert that will be held next month. You can bring one more person with you to that concert!”
I am so lucky! I finally got the tickets to Ryuji-san’s concert! But everything is meaningless now. My old me will shout excitedly when he sees his idol. Especially without her. This thought crossed my mind just now.
“Ryuji-san, can I ask for something from you?”
“What is it?”
“Can you sign this paper?” I take out a piece of paper from my bag.
“Sure! What is your name? Because I want to write your name on it too,” ask him.
“You can just put Yuka there. And can you write encouragement word there too?”
