Chapter 269 - 269 Unspoken Words through a Song (2)
Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect ---- From Luna Lovegood Harry Potter Movie
"Father, will you sing your unspoken words for us?" Dawn's voice was heard inside the music room as soon as the Knights escorted their fiancées' back to their seats. Louie was quite nervous when he heard his little princess, "Sure sweetheart I'll sing for your Mom, but I hope that you will let your Uncle Yuan and Uncle Harry will give me a hand when I sing for my unspoken words for you, your brother and to your mother" Louie asks Dawn.
"Sure, but you have to understand Father, that they will just help you deliver the unspoken words only. They will not help you with what is inside your mind and heart....only to your performance" Winter butts in. Louie smiled and he nods his head as he gave his assurance to both of his kids. Louie smiled and he nods his head as he gave his assurance to both of his kids, as the twins saw his assurance they both smiled at him.
Winter immediately send some text messages to both Harry and Yuan regarding Louie's request. They've said that Louie will be going to perform his unspoken words towards them and maybe to their mom also. While Dawn didn't forget to inform Luna, Francois, Dimitri, and their grandfather Duke Lawrence. Francois and Dimitri both knew that the twins' are planning something, it seems that they are planning for some Riff-off between the two of them with the five right-hand guys and with Louie Chen. Dimitri gave an evil grin that Scarlet immediately saw, "What's with the evil grin, Honey?" she asked her husband.
Dimitri who sat beside her and with Ryder and Sapphire, he looks at his wife and he uttered "Riff-Off. The twins' are planning to have a Riff-Off with their father, Eros and the boys are going to be with them, look at those little bunnies with an evil glint on their eyes as they look at Louie Chen." In unison, Scarlet, Ryder, and Sapphire took a glance to where the twins are seated. "I hope Louie will not do anything that will give us a headache especially with Luna, even though the twins' are talented enough to answer the unspoken words of their father," says Scarlet as she gave a deep sigh.
On the other side of the music room, Francois told Luna about the plans of the twins' and Luna was quite flabbergasted to hear that the twins' will have a Riff-Off with their father and what surprised she the most was that Eros and the rest of the Knights' right - hand guys will join the twins. "My King, make it sure that we will capture the moments that our children and the five right-hand guys will perform. This is once in a lifetime in our HADES family that Eros and the rest of the boys will sing" Luna said in full excitement, she was delighted that the boys will showcase their talents in front of the great bosses.
As Yuan and Harry went in front, Louie, Ethan, and Kim followed them, although Ethan's face was full of sadness he still controls himself not to be affected by his broken heart to what Louie will do for his kids. But what surprise Louie and the rest of his friends were when the kids and the five right-hand guys also went in front and to their right side, as Louie stared at them the voice of Duke Lawrence was heard. "You, Louie Chen will have a Riff-Off with my grandchildren, any unspoken words you will let us know will be answered by the twins' and the five right-hand guys, so make it sure that you will know how to answer each unspoken words of my grandchildren" Duke Lawrence explained to everyone of what will happen for the next segment of showcasing of talents. Louie nods his head but on his face, everyone could see how nervous he was, for he didn't know what is running on the minds of his kids.
"Father, you will be the first to perform. We will just answer whatever song nor your unspoken words towards us and to our mom, all you have to do is let those unspoken words that you didn't find any ways to let our mom know what's in your heart and mind," Winter speaks up like a grown-up. "Okay, My Son" Louie replied.
Harry and Yuan started playing the instruments, they both knew the song that Louie has dedicated to Luna from the moment he has this idea that she is still alive. The song by If Ever You're In My Arms Again by Peabo Bryson (youtube.com/watch?v=qcDvzifP_gk) was heard by everyone and as he sings the song Louie's eyes was staring at Luna.
"We had a once in a lifetime
But I just couldn't see
until it was gone
A second once in a lifetime
Maybe too much to ask
But I swear from now on
If ever you're in my arms again
this time I'll love you much better
if ever you're in my arms again
this time I'll hold you forever"
Louie emphasized the two stanzas of the song, for this was he ask for Luna, to give him a second chance....a second chance for him to prove to her how much he loves her. Luna on the other seemed not affected at all, because for her if he did this to her five years ago she might accept him with open arms, but now....it can't be for she already has someone in her heart.
As Louie finished the song, Eros answered back with Bruno Mars song When I Was Your Man (youtube.com/watch?v=ekzHIouo8Q4), Louie didn't expect to hear that specific song, as Winter played the piano Eros gave an emphasize to the lyrics;
"My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes"
Natasha and Natalie were surprised to hear how good and soothing Eros voice was, while the rest of the HADES great bosses and the other bosses were not surprised to hear his voice but rather they are surprised that he sings again, even Pearl was amazed when she saw and heard Eros singing again, only the twins made way for Eros and the right-hand guys to sing again. After Eros sang, Louie answered back by singing Boyz II Men's song On Bended Knee (youtube.com/watch?v=jSUSFow70no).
"Darlin' I, I can't explain
Where did we lose our way?
Girl it's drivin' me insane
And I know I just need one more chance
And if you come back to me
I'll guarantee
That I'll never let you go"
The lyrics that Louie seemed song so loudly for Luna to hear, he knew that he was stepping the boundaries but for him, he needs to let out his thoughts through a song for this are his unspoken words towards Luna, this is his song asking for forgiveness and second chance to her. He may be too late, five years but still, he took the risk. Just before Louie ended the song, Pearl receives a message from Dawn that they need her for the next song, Pearl immediately went to their group as she was very excited to have a duet with her Big Brother Eros. Then suddenly Ares and the rest cut the music of Louie's group by playing the song of Too Much, Too Little, Too Late by Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams (youtube.com/watch?v=5lMF6unXVFc), Kim was astounded when he saw Pearl will sing together with Eros.
"Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to lie again with you
Too Much, Too Little, Too Late to try again with you
We're in the middle of ending something that we knew
It's over"
The lyrics which both Eros and Pearl gave a soulful rendition on that part. Louie felt embarrassed for all the unspoken words that he has, it seemed that his kids and their group have a counter attacked. Then Ethan cuts them off also by playing the song Please Forgive Me by Bryan Adams (youtube.com/watch?v=9EHAo6rEuas&list=PL7X7mQTPQu00nt9_BLN9toskYt7uAVQeb), then after that, Soteira was the one who sings this time, Pearl was still with them as they sang Rod Stewart's I Don't Want To Talk About It (youtube.com/watch?v=w46bWxS9IjY). But this time Dawn was holding her saxophone, Louie and his friends widened their eyes to witness the little princess will play the saxophone....and when they heard her part, goosebumps were felt by the five of them. For Harry and Yuan, they already thought that Luna and Louie's children are gifted, and it was Louie's loss.
As Francois and the Knights listen to the Riff-Off of Louie and the twins' group, they could feel the anxiety, depression, and loss of hope of Louie. All of his songs that he sings was intended for Luna, Dimitri and Ryder seemed observing Luna as their sister listens, but why it that Luna seemed is not interested at all, "Ryder, what do you think? Luna doesn't have any expression at all." Dimitri asks Ryder who is busy reading Luna's facial expression.
Then when Artemis strum his guitar, Hermes began to sing Julie Anne San Jose - Let Me Be the One (youtube.com/watch?v=bxPA6oQwqwA), and Pearl took the stage and sang the song. Louie furrowed his brows to hear the lyrics of the song for he didn't fell out of love to Luna. Then when Louie's eyes fell at Luna's side, he saw that Luna was also singing, then suddenly Luna stood up and went to Pearls' side and they made a duet, for it was her last song to Louie. This was one of her last unspoken words to Louie for she knew that Louie didn't even learn to love her for their eight-nine months of marriage. Before Louie's group could answer back, this time Luna took the stage and stared at Louie then sang Set You Free by MYMP (youtube.com/watch?v=naDg_dajYZ8), everyone didn't expect for Luna to be part of the Riff-Off, but this time she wants Louie to know that she already sets him free....he was free for five years already.
Then suddenly "Louie, this next song is my unspoken words to you. The day at the Chen Annual Party, when I told in front of everyone that enough is enough, this is my song that Luke and Raymond heard from me at the bar. But I hope this time you will realize that I can't be with you anymore, for my love for you has finally gone and I already found my Eternity now, but still, I will let you know what song it is" Luna declared. Luna nods her head and Artemis and Winter played the instruments, as they play the song was familiar to the Wu triplets' for they knew and they saw the video of what Luna has been telling to Louie. The song I Love You Goodbye by Juris (youtube.com/watch?v=eY3vxy6JsyU) was heard and when Luna finished the song, it's like a bomb exploded to Louie's heart and brain.
