Love Game

[ Chapter 4 ]

Love means to commit oneself without guarantee,

to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.

-------------------

“ Good evening, singapore ! this is DJ phileos on air at FM 14.3, bringing you " love is in the air " ~ cue in ”

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.

so has it happened to you ? the serendipity that has existed since the beginning of life ...

hmm .. lets see this week we've a listener by the name of simplerpis sharing with us her views on love .. well just like her name has suggested ~ simple pris ~ her name matches with her views on love, the yearn for that simple love, a romantic yet unconventional love .. she still harbour for that hope in the existence of true love happening, even though its rare just as she has mentioned about a friend of her loving selflessly but was not reciprocated. She thought that her love & sacrifices previosuly were nothing as compared to her friend .. she even stated out a rule ; if you love more, you'll get hurt with the same amount of love you've put in ..

pris .. hmm ..what can i say ~ though its demoralising to see true love slowly drifting away from us, but don't give up hope

Love means to commit oneself without guarantee,

to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person.

I'm sure someday you can love in the manner of what your friend has experienced , even though its sad to say that she has suffered a great deal about it, but someday this memory shall become part of her & grow with her as she matures, just like you & me through this journey.

Topic for the week ; love is like a maze

Someone ever tell me that love is like a maze.

Once you are in it, it’s very hard to come out.

When the two of you are in love, you walk through the maze together.

You will encounter difficulties that block your advancement.

You count on each other’s support.

All will be well because loving her means much more to you than anything else.

Then one day, one of you decided that life is probably better to walk alone. The two of you parted ways and seek other hands to hold.

You continue to walk through the paths that were once laid previously by the two of you.

You begin to feel trapped in this maze.

No one is there for you anymore.

I believe most of us would experience once in our lifetime.

A time when we felt all alone deep down in our hearts.

A time when even our closest friends don’t even understands us.

As times goes by, you’ve learned that trusting someone is a serious bet which you must bare the loss if one day the odds are against you. You tried to walk the road once again.

This time, you tried to hold others hands. Making people believe in you and trust you may not seems as easy as you think.

The responsibility of not letting go is much tougher than just holding onto one’s hand.

Finally a hand reached out to hold you in darkness.

You are now holding another person’s hand as you continue venturing the unknown.

Truth is... you’ve never walked out of the maze.

Because once you step into the maze of love, there’s no coming out.

So do you you dare to step into this maze of love ? tee-hee ~ till then you hear me on love is in the air .. have a good evening ~ adiues ~

-------------

" so I've never stepped out of the maze afterall ... " I spoke softly.

Tears slowly weld around my eyes. It has been a long one year since that incident.

----------

“ Stop treating me like this !!! ” Yuri cried.

“ Shut up, You’ll do as what I say ” A threatening voice was the only reply to Yuri's plead.

" No .. please .. no !! ~ I beg you ... noooo " Yuri continue with her plead.

Yuri was being pushed hard onto the floor as she started to cover herself in tears & blood.

" No .. please don't take away my baby ~ " Yuri pleaded.

The man finally walked away without even glancing at Yuri. She finally fainted in the pool of blood oozing out from her blouse.

The moment when she regained her conciousness, a devastating news was brought upon to her.

" Sorry .. But i couldn't save your child. We had to abort it to save you ~ we'll have to ward you for a few days to monitor you, pls take care "

The doctor spoke in a solemn manner to release the breaking news to Yuri.

" the baby is gone .. there's nothing left between us anymore ... " Yuri started mumbling.

-----------------

It was the toughest period of my life. Having to accept both fact that the one I've loved the most has left me & losing my beloved child to the heaven. A period of time when I felt lonely deep down in my heart, a time when no one, not even my closest friend could understand me. I felt so trapped in the maze. I struggled to find a way out of this maze in total despair, only to find out that I've not move an inch at all. I've just been going around the maze in circles, this seemingly never ending circle just leads me to a path whereby I'll be back to where I've started.

Even though, I've brace up myself, this incident has left a scar within my heart forever.

" phileos ... just who are you ? why are you always digging deep within my heart, just to remind me of my scar again .. why ? " My tears slowly flowed out.

I thought I've passed the test when I've finally muster up my courage to perform on stage once again. But the feelings within me now just made all the previous attempts I've made for the past year futile.

" Is it another test for me again ? God !!! Why are you doing this to me ??? Have I not suffered enough ??? " I shouted out loud.

I was finally exhausted from the crying, as I fell asleep to the tears flowing within my heart.

* 5 .. 4 .. 3 .. 2 ...... 1 ~ cue in ! welcome to happy sunday ~ HAPPY !!! hooo tonight as usual a exciting programme lined up for you all ~ & of course not forgetting to intro our special guests for tonight, Super Senior, Small Bang, Shiny, Hara, Red Eyed Girl, Yuri & last but not least the prince of ballad Jay !!!

" Hi everyone ~ " the special guests waved & smiled to the camera.

*applause*

" First up ... a special performance by our prince of ballad Jay !!! "

*applause*

I smiled & went to the stage.

" Everyone .. ever heard of the Orion Belt ? " I asked confidently.

The whole floor went in a moment of silence. I started to hear small discussions & whispers among the artise & hosts. Just then some voice shouted a reply,

“ You mean the three stars that sit side by side? It’s one of the more visible stars in the night sky. I suppose it’s meant for navigation purpose. ” Yuri replied confidently from her seat.

“ Yeah… but you know why the three stars are there? ”

" I don't know .. " Yuri looked at me & smiled.

“ Let me tell you a story then. Long Ago in the ancient times of Rome, there lives a very poor farmer by the name of Heron.

He worked night and day over the fields of grains to harvest food for his family. To him life was so miserable that he never thought he would love someone until the day when the boss came to collect his tax with his daughter, Zoenith.

It was a love at first sight, Heron knew she was the one for him.

Heron then tried so hard to impress his beloved.

He told Zoenith that he will climb up the highest mountain in Rome to catch a falling star in return for her love.

Zoenith did like Heron but due to the strong rejection from her father she could only avoid him.

When she knows he was going to the highest mountain she ran away from home to find him. She finally found him on the cliff of the highest mountain.

The Boss sent many men to search for Heron and wanted his head back for reward they look high and low for this young farmer and finally they reached the tip of the highest mountain.

As they approach, Zoenith begins to plead for their mercy to let Heron go but Heron stood still as he holds Zoenith's hand.

He spoke of real sincerity.

“Knowing you was a blessing but for you to be with me by my side is a miracle indeed let this day not be the day as we are parted but for this day tat we are united even if we were to go through hell together”

Heron tighten his grip of Zoenith's hand as they jump down the cliff together.

Venus then the Goddess of Love saw what happened to the wrecked couple. She understands that there was indeed true love between this young couples.

She then sent a shinning star to fetch them and bring them to the evening sky.

Then on in the nights of Rome, people will see 3 stars.. Heron, Zoenith and the middle star between them which symbolize their Love... ”

I then paused for a while. I continued on looking towards the direction of Yuri,

“When either one of the stars stops glowing, the other two will simply die off. This is because their love is not tested by time but will last longer than time.....”

At the exact moment I completed my sentence, a music starts to play in.

It always appeared before me

Your face, I remember

My heart that stopped short

You spitefully took my disfunctional heart

And with your bright smile

That's how you easily opened my heart

It's true, that is how I became your man

All my unpleasant memories, I no longer recall

Because the hand that holds me tight

Is as warm as spring

And now like a dream my heart

Has gradually stopped by your side

Without awakening for a single moment,

I dream an endless dream

And now like breathing,

If you were to always rest by my side

If you were to always remain this way

Nothing better nothing better than you

Nothing better nothing better than you

And now like a dream, My heart

In your embrace, is held still

Without awakening for a single moment,

I dream an endless dream

And now like breathing,

If you were to always rest by my side

If you were to always remain this way

Nothing better nothing better than you

Nothing better nothing better than you

Nothing better nothing better than you

I ended off my love ballad with a punch as everyone started to stand up from their seats clapping their hands shouting ENCORE !!!

" you simply melt everyone's heart .. Jay ... you're indeed worthy of the name Prince of Love ballad .... " the host started to joke.

" haas ~ well ..... *shrugs* " I just gave my brightest smile & use that pair of electrifying eyes to mesmerize the audience.

" It was as if you're singing that song to someone very special to you ~~~~~ so touching & sweet .. hahah ~ so did it by chance happen to be someone here ? " the host jokingly asked.

" Well .. if by any chance you look back at the camera replay, he was looking towards the direction of YURI !!! the other host cut in with his answer before i could reply.

The audience & guests started to tease the both of us, as they readily agreed to what the host has mentioned.

" haas .. well if thats what most of you want as my answer, so be it then .... " I smiled towards the camera & sneak a glance towards Yuri.

Everyone started to be excited over my reply again.

I could see Yuri blushing from all these teasing, that angelic smile she presented seems so different from the her on screen. That innocence & naiveness in her smile made it so much sweeter & really made me have the rush to want to protect her for that moment of time.

------------------

" Now our next performace by Yuri ~~~ !!! " the host said.

" Hi everyone ~ I'm Yuri ... tonight I'm playing the violin, its not considered exceptional if you want to compare me with those orchestra performers, hee but well its still a special show lined up for you all, so stay tuned ... " I ended off with my brightest smile as I adjust my posture & positoning with the violin on hand.

" Everyone .. Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel ... " I took a bow & started to play with the piano music as supporting music.

Towards the middle part, I stopped playing, & immediately danced to the music. It was a tango dance in accordance to the por una cabeza being played.

ENCORE !! ENCORE !! Everyone shouted at the end of my performance.

I took a bow & smiled again.

" A very different Yuri we are seeing tonight for sure .... never did we expect that sexy tango to appear halfway through & being put up by you ... " the host said.

" hee .. i thought i could surprise my fans & you all for once ... well it seems like I've did it successfully ... hehe ... " I replied

" you sure do ..... you've mesmerize me with your dance .... " the host jokingly said & started to do some silly tango actions by himself.

" hey .. stop it ... no matter how good you're with tango .. you're NOTHING BETTER THAN him ... " the other host jokingly said.

" NOTHING BETTER than him ..... oooo ~ nothing better than you ~ nothing better than you ... i get your meaning ... !! haha "

The audience & artise started to laugh as the conversation was indirectly made to tease me & Jay's song earlier on. I just blushed through the conversation as they made fun of me again.

----------------

" well .. we are coming to the end of the show .. as usual we'll always play a game with our special guests ... tonight game is Majority Wins !!! this game is simple ~ we will ask a question to all the artises, & they will choose between yes or no ... so basically the majority who chooses either yes or no won't receive any punishments, whereas the minority will have the dry ice sprayed on them ... wooooo icy cold !!! haha "

All the artises nods in accordance with the rules of the game being explained.

" Lets get started !!! " the host shouted.

" Question No.1 ; you see a blind woman trying to cross the road by herself, will you go foward & approach your help ? choose .... "

Every artises chooses the YES section without hesistation.

" We sure have helpful people with us tonight .. hahaha & i believe that all of us will have done that ... EASY question for the 1st .. now comes the challenging one .. "

" Question no.2 ; Do you think that Super Senior are just a bunch of oldies dancing on stage ... ? hahaha .. chooose ... "

Some chooses Yes & No, & eventually the minority receives the dry ice treatment. As the game goes on, challenging & funny questions were posed with links to the special guests tonight.

" last question for the night ... do you think Jay & Yuri have ignite some love sparks tonight at our show ? wooooo choose ~ !! "

Both Jay & Yuri went into a dilemma which section to choose, as it involves the both of them.

Both of them finally made their decision after some commotion.

" The result is out ! only two chooses YES ... & the rest chooses NO ... wow an interesting poll !! hahaha the two who chooses yes are Jay & Yuri !!!! Gosh ~~ Dry ice !!! hahaha & what an answer from the both of them ... "

The two of them blushed at the remarks made & by their own choices too, never did they expect the rest would have choose no ... as they thought that for sure they'll be trying to tease them again with this question being asked. It was indeed a night filled with fun, surprises & excitment for both Jay & Yuri.
