Chapter 750: The Wait for the Gates to Open

Mafra Q Hall, Beord Bazaar, Catadrid

Saturday, March 27th, 5:00 PM

Sol, Jade, and Lily had been standing in line outside Mafra Q Hall for hours, their excitement building with each passing minute. They had driven to the venue in Sol's father's car, a small blue sedan that had become their trusted companion for adventures like these. Sol had been the one to volunteer for the drive, knowing that she'd be more relaxed behind the wheel, guiding her friends to their most anticipated event of the year-Moonlight's first live concert. The sun had already begun to lower in the sky, casting a golden hue over the scene, though the air remained cool and pleasant. The beginning of spring meant that the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, making the long wait outside more bearable than any of them had expected. The scent of blossoms floated through the air, mixing with the faint smell of street food from nearby vendors catering to the concert-goers.

The crowd surrounding them was massive. Thousands of people, mostly in their teens, twenties, and thirties had shown up early. Everyone wanted the best spot inside the venue. Though the Mafra Q Hall could hold a staggering 20,000 people, it seemed like every single one of them had the same idea: get there as early as possible, secure the best view, and revel in the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing Moonlight perform live.

"I can't believe we're finally here," Sol said, her voice tinged with excitement as she adjusted her hoodie and stretched her arms. She was dressed comfortably for the long wait, wearing her favorite Moonlight t-shirt over her hoodie, showing her dedication to the artist.

"I know, right?" Jade grinned, flicking her black hair behind her shoulders. "It feels surreal. We've been talking about this concert for months."

Lily, the more reserved of the trio, nodded with a small smile. "I've had butterflies in my stomach since we left your house," she admitted. "I still can't believe we managed to get the tickets."

The crowd around them buzzed with a similar energy, a mix of chatter, laughter, and the occasional chant of "Moonlight! Moonlight!" rippling through the line. Some fans had even brought portable speakers, playing songs from Moonlight's album to keep spirits high. Others clutched homemade signs or wore custom outfits designed with Moonlight's lyrics printed across them.

The girls exchanged glances, feeling the palpable excitement in the air. They weren't just attending a concert; they were about to become part of an event that people would talk about for years.

"We're not that far from the entrance," Sol noted, peeking over the heads of the fans in front of them. "Do you think we'll get a good spot?"

Jade shrugged, "You're so nervous that you forgot that the seats were already defined when we bought the tickets," Jade giggled.

"Oh, that's true." Sol said as she remembered this fact, "Why did everyone arrive early then?"

"Who knows?" Jade replied, "But I guess just like us, everyone else was too anxious for the concert, so everyone came early."

Lily bit her lip, glancing down at the tickets clutched in her hand. "I just hope we don't get stuck behind anyone too tall."

They all laughed, feeling lighter with each passing minute. Despite the wait, none of them were impatient. They knew this was part of the experience, part of the anticipation that made the moment so special.

As the hours stretched on, they began to lose track of time, entertained by the enthusiasm of the crowd around them. A group of fans behind them began singing one of Moonlight's hit songs, "Perfect," their voices harmonizing sweetly in the cool evening air. Sol and Jade couldn't help but join in, while Lily clapped along, her shy nature keeping her from singing out loud but still immersed in the moment.

"Do you think he'll play any surprise songs?" Jade asked after the impromptu sing-along had faded into the background noise.

"Maybe," Sol replied. "He's been pretty secretive about his setlist. I wouldn't be surprised if The throws in something new or unreleased."

"I hope he plays 'The Scientist,"" Lily said softly, her eyes dreamy. "That song just... it hits differently live, I bet."

They nodded in agreement. Every song from Moonlight's album was special, but there was something magical about certain tracks that tugged at the heartstrings in a way that felt deeply personal. แน˜รก๊ž๐–”๐ร‹แนค

The line continued to move, though slowly, as more and more fans gathered. By now, the sun had fully dipped below the horizon, and the sky was painted in shades of pink and purple. Streetlights flickered on, casting a soft glow over the crowd.

"It's crazy how many people showed up so early," Jade said, scanning the endless sea of faces stretching in every direction. "I thought we were early."

"I guess Moonlight has that kind of pull," Sol replied with a grin. "We're all just trying to get as close to the magic as possible."

For hours, they had been surrounded by this shared sense of belonging, of community. Every person in that crowd had been touched by Moonlight's music in some way, and that connection was what brought them all together, despite their differences. It was a beautiful, unspoken bond.

As the time ticked closer to the gate opening, the girls' anticipation grew even stronger. They fidgeted with their tickets, adjusted their outfits, and bounced on their toes as they tried to shake off the nervous energy. Sol checked her phone repeatedly, confirming the time over and

Over again.

"It's almost time," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jade and Lily exchanged excited glances. The moment they had been waiting for was almost here. The gates would open soon, and then there would be no turning back. They would finally step into Mafra Q Hall, where Moonlight would take the stage.

When the clock hit 6:30 PM, a noticeable ripple went through the crowd. People began

Shifting, standing a little straighter, their excitement mounting.

"They're about to open the gates!" someone shouted from the front, and the cheer that followed echoed like a wave through the entire line.

Sol felt her heart race in her chest. "This is it. We're going in."

Jade grabbed her hand, squeezing tightly. "I'm so ready for this."

Lily smiled, though her nerves were obvious. "It's happening. We're really going to see him."

The massive gates of Mafra Q Hall slowly began to swing open, the crowd pushing forward as the line surged with energy. Security guards were stationed at the front, checking tickets and keeping the line orderly, but nothing could dampen the electric atmosphere. People were buzzing with excitement, exchanging high-fives and cheers as they edged closer to the

Entrance.

Sol, Jade, and Lily clung to each other as they moved with the crowd, their hearts pounding in sync. The closer they got, the more real it all felt.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of waiting, they reached the entrance.

"Tickets, please," a security guard said.

With trembling hands, Sol handed over their tickets, her heart in her throat. The guard

Scanned them, smiled, and waved them through.

"Enjoy the concert."

And just like that, they were in.
