Visualized, performed, then you understood

I imagine sasana budaya hall that we proud of, crowded by hundreds of people who want to witness the spectacular night, sparkled by the multi-talented Sastra students performing on Magenta Show - or one of a kind. We are about to perform the special performance, a collaboration between the 5 majors on the Faculty of letters: A multilingual theatrical performance! a collaboration of drama, poem recitation, dance, sing along, choir, happening art.....
And we also contribute on the performance as well.
On our part....
Slowly the light turns off. The big screen displays a sakura tree, with its flowers falling, blown by the wind. The intro of JKT48's song Boku No Sakura played. A blue lamp in the middle of the stage starts to be turned on. Slowly, I walk forward, to the front part of the stage. Wearing a beautiful blue yukata and big ribbon on my veil. Staring at the whole audience. Start singing the song....

"Memperbaiki garis putih di lapangan sekolah,
dibawah matahari aku berlari, hari-hari masa muda.....
Jalan milik kamu terbentang lurus dan terus memanjang
Angin yang sesaat bersama dengan debu, memori jauh disana...."

With all my heart feeling the lyrics. To let my emotion drowned inside the melody. I present this song for you. And I do hope you will listen....
Colorful lights shine all over the hall and one bright spotlight on the stage emphasizes that - yes, this feeling is this strong, dear.
The big screen displays the English and Arab translation of the song. Also, it displays a silhouette of a man having fairy wings, bringing a baton and waves his hands. Yes, he's a conductor.
As if he's leading me on singing this song.....

"Pada tujuan yang aku ingin, langit biru menunggu diriku
Mana yang lebih dulu memutuskan pita, bagaimanapun juga boleh...
Musim upacara kelulusan, di dalam dadaku angin bertiup....
Bunga sakura ini tercerai berai di tempat memikirkanmu."

Then it comes to the bridge part of the song. I raised my hand then take it down- yeah, that is the choreography of this very song. While raising my hand up and down, there are some girls coming to the stage from both sides. Wearing choir robe. Making a formation, and start singing along with me. Yeah, they are becoming my background vocals.

"Satu tujuan yang aku ingin, terus jalan walau tak akan sampai
Ditengah mimpi airmata mengalir, kuhapus dengan tangan ini....
Kakak kelas yang berlari didepan, menghantar bayangan yang panjang
Bunga sakura yang tertinggal pasti suatu hari kan berkelana dari ranting"

There comes the coda of the song. I move my hand over my head and bring it down on the microphone stand - again, this is the choreography of Boku No Sakura.
The music ends. Everyone cheered. then the light turns off.

I run to the backstage and burst into tears.
If only you know, I just visualize my situation, dear.....
