everything you want.

 

I quickly went to Lian and briefly told him what happened inside. Afterwards, we said our goodbyes to Aimy who's busy in monitoring the applicants.

"Hey Aimy, we're gonna go now. Thanks again! I'm afraid they might dislike my voice. They all look so serious."

"That's nothing Zara, They're just like that to everyone else. I hope they would love your voice as much as I do. Don't worry, if God's will, it'll happen. You both take care ok?" Aimy answered with encouragement.

"Yah, you to Aims, see you again." Lian spoke

"Bye Aimy. Thanks again!" I ended the conversation.

Chapter 16 - Music in Me

It was 9 in the morning and it's been two whole weeks since the audition was held and I was quite worried about it. Why don't they give me a feedback or atleast just a letter note that says "Thank you for joining. Better luck next time". I would much prefer to know early that I was rejected than to wait longer for something that you don't know what awaits you. Good thing I had myself busy doing my compositions and skyping with mom and friends made my day as always. These past few days, Lian helped me putting the tunes in some of my compositions as what he promised and I bet it was all good and terrific. For me, those are the best songs that I've listened. Because it's our own and I appreciate all the time and effort that me and Lian done for this. He is very creative on thinking what melody would fit a song and I was very thankful to him because I'm not as good as him when it comes to those kind of stuff. But besides from being busy on music, yesterday, Lian and I went to the park to seek some fresh air and jogged that early morning. We used to do that twice a week.

 

Today, I'm beginning to feel a total depression and starting to lose my patience and hope that they would contact me and tell that I got one of the spots. To avoid from being depressed, it came to my mind that maybe it's time to seek for a stable job since I got no feedback from Stardom Recording Company. Although mom and dad could always send me my allowance, I would still want to work and use all the things I've learned after that many years of studying. Besides, it's a nice feeling that you are working for your own income and provide yourself. It can build a good self-esteem and confidence. However, my desired job is something that would excites me to go to work everyday, something that would make my day though it's tiring, and also a job that I really love to do. I can't think any job like that except for music!

 

I jumped out of bed and grabbed my laptop. Instead of preparing my breakfast, I got more interested on surfing the internet and search a job thru online. After a few minutes of searching, I was interrupted when my cellphone rang. Somebody is calling me but the number was unknown. I wonder who might this one is. I'm afraid that this is one of those jerk people again who's trying to stalk someone thru a phonecall or text messages. They are totally insane! I hate it when someone is trying to text or call me but I don't even know that person. But after all the worries I had, I just answered it without being mad or somewhat upset. I don't know why.
"Hello??" I said confusingly. Wondering if who's voice do I have to expect.
"Yes, hi Ms. Olens. How are you doing today?" a voice of a guy that sounds really familiar.
"May I know who's this?" I'm starting to get a little upset with this caller. How does he knew my family name?!

"Oh sorry, this is Mr. Blue, one of the guys who listened to those applicants at the Stardom Recording Company. We are glad to inform you that you have been selected to be one of our trainees for this season. Can you come at the office today for furthur discussion?"
"Ahh yaahhh. Of course! I will come as soon as possible at the office today sir!" I was speechless. I don't know what to say. It was a mixed emotions--feeling happy yet nervous. It was totally shocking and I didn't expect that it was the Stardom who's calling. Maybe that's the reason why I answer that unknown caller without being upset.

 

Lately I was losing hope and felt that maybe it wasn't really for me. And I was a little disappointed to myself that I tempted to lose hope for my dream. I was near to take it for granted and just forget about all the efforts I've done. This is my dream and if I ever fail and fall down at my first try, I should try again and again until I reach the top. It was a lesson learned for me now that good things comes to those who waits patiently. I am extremely happy about it and now, I don't have to seek for a job anymore. It's my heart that really desires music and I was born with music in me.

Chapter 17 - The Good Start

FEW years have passed, I noticed that my vocals became more nearly to perfect and I can't wait to launch my very first album produced by Stardom Records entitled "Start". After a long hard work and prayers, yes, I have my very own music album now and 4 songs of them were my own compositions. Yup! Almost all of my dreams are really turning into a reality. I was really being blessed that Lian got to be my official music buddy. He was the most coolest and most talented guitarist for me. He never fail to support and motivate me, aside to my family and friends, in all the things I want to do and in what I have to do. We're almost together in every day because of all the rehearsals that we're doing together and I'm truly glad for it. Lian and I witnessed the progress in ourselves and got to know each other's personality more and more either during work or off from work.

 

 If there's a bible verse that I could relate my life on, that would be Jeremaiah 8:28, "for I know I have plans for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". After that call which I received from Stardom, my singing career was became more in success. They really put me in a situation that every dreamer would dream. I got use to be a guest in some famous entertainment live shows, jammed with some well-known bands, and perform live in some shows here and there inside the country. But in every performance that we do, the most magnificent one was at the church. Aside from being busy with our careers, we never forget about our faith in God. Thrice a month, Lian and I are performing at the church. He continue to show his talent with the ministry band while I became one of the lead singers of the ministry choir. We love serving God for He deserves all the glory.

 

Right now, we are busy rehearsing for our first tour in middle east together with some well-known bands and country singers. This is for the charity fond raising. It's fulfilling when you got to show what God has given you and you are enjoying it and at some point, you help those needy people. That's priceless.

 

I remember the old days when me and Lian had our confessions when we were still young at heart that we got the same feelings for each other. But as of today, I was engaged to a wonderful person, a gift from God . Lian and I had our commitment during the season when we are about to start our contract in Stardom. He was perfect for me and so do I for him. Our families are very supportive to our relationship and since we're both at the right age, some of our friends and relatives teased us on when will be the wedding day. The moment he proposed, I didn't think twice to say a big yes. I prayed for this guys and God is so great that He was in favored in all my prayers. Both our families and friends were excited for us and can't wait for the big day to arrive. But me and Lian are relying in God's perfect time.

 

God is so good that whoever believes in Him and acknowledges Him shall be blessed. He will surely fulfill the desire of our hearts and nothing is impossible when it come to Him. Together, our faith in God became more powerful and He was the reason why our lives now are in its most wonderful time. But this is not yet the ending of our tremendous story, instead, it's just about to start.
