NB. READ PART 1 first in order to make sense Part 2.
We got a gig in South Africa and thought it would be good exposure for our band.
We arrived South Africa; our show was in Johannesburg. The preparations and arrangements they had for us were superb; from the pick up at the airport to the hotel; to the playground; everything was on point. We saw our posters in several places.
On the night of the show while waiting in our dressing room; I was surprised at how nervous I was. Iam not one to be nervous on stage I always wanted to get out there and do my thing. The stage was my life. This particular day was different; I was anxious. I calmed my self into believing that it was because we were playing in a different country for the first time.
The show was jam packed; didnot know our band was that popular in South Africa or the show promoters had done a superb job of publicising it.
Once we were on stage; the fears left me; the crowd was awesome; singing the lyrics of our songs as we performed. The feeling was idescribable; camera phones everywhere; I was having the time of my life.
During one of the performances; I decided to mingle with the crowd; As I was walking and singing; touching the crowd; in the fourth row; there she was. I took a double take to be sure of what I was seeing; there was my Maddie; My Maddie that appeared constantly my dreams. She was smiling from ear to ear as if she already knew what I was thinking. I brought her out from the crowd unto the stage. The crowd went wild. I sang to her and tears welled up in her eyes. I too was overwhelmed. The crowd roared and roared but they had no clue what was going on. As I finished singing to her; I lean towards her; gave her a kiss on both cheeks and said " I finally meet you" and she said " Iam glad its over"
