Meeting My Idol
Afgan has always been my favorite singer. I had always been thinking of how I would
feel when I met him. Then I was suddenly hit by lightning when I found out Afgan was
coming to town for a concert in a local auditorium. A day before the concert, there would be
a meet-and-greet event at a local radio station. Feeling excited, I packed all my Afgan’s CDs
to get his signature at the event.
On that bright and sunny Saturday morning, the radio station was full of Afganism
(that’s how Afgan’s fans are called). They sat on the chairs prepared inside the radio station’s
lobby. Some stood in rows in the front yard of the radio station. A spot inside a lobby was
prepared with a mini stage for Afgan’s singing performance and a table for Afgan to sign
Afganism’s memorabilia. Finally, after about 40 or 50 minutes wait, Afgan showed up from
inside the radio station. He smiled and waved to all Afganism who had been waiting
excitedly saying, “Good morning. How are you all?” The crowd went crazy. The shouts
sounded like a mix of “Fine”, thank you’ and screams of Afgan’s name.
