Chapter 5

The very moment I started, everywhere becomes quiet. Normally, I already know I'm very talented and possess a nice voice. Still, I'm indeed surprised how much energy my voice is conjuring on the stage today.

Getting close to the end of the song, I decide to do that one thing I've always dreamed of—climbing the highest pitch. In this particular song, it has never been a successful venture. But then, there's no harm in trying here. I decide to break a little bit. Inhale and exhale in quick succession before hitting the note with all the strength I have left in me.

“What the fuck! I did it,” I try hard not to say it out. It is one of those America’s Got Talent golden buzzer moments for me. Right now, happiness is possibly an understatement of what I am feeling. Yes, the reaction from the people watching me is all that told me I ended perfectly well. This made me realize that sometimes there's no reason why I shouldn't gamble with my fear.

In the cold and quiet night, I can hear my voice reverberating in a soft manner even after I end the song.

“Thank you for your time,” I whisper into the loud microphone, before making a slight bow. All of a sudden, the cheers are now even louder. It is in fact the loudest applause I've ever gotten in my entire life. The eruption makes me all emotional. Tears of what I can't really predict—whether it's joy that my dream is still intact, or sadness that I had no one that really believed in me not until now, starts flowing down my beautiful face.

Going backstage, all I can hear are accolades from other performers. Predictably, Karen and Frank are there already waiting backstage.

“Here comes our little pretty music star who missed her road and became a bartender instead.” Karen jokes while shaking her head in a pitiful manner.

“Crazy ass bitch,” I retort, making an attempt to run after her.

I can't exactly assert that Karen is my friend, but then she is one person that knows how to create the perfect mood whenever she is around. I like her and her sanguine nature so much.

Hiding behind grinning Frank, who is still struggling to contend his excitement about my performance, Karen shouts out loud, “This is not how stars behave. I hope you aren't planning on leaving me here with this old man. You'd need a manager, dear friend. I'm submitting my application first thing...!”

Before she could finish her statement, Frank's face gradually changed and in a swift motion he turned and made an attempt at hitting her with the sales book he was holding. Undoubtedly, Karen, knowing full well his impending reaction, already shifted and while heading back to her duty screamed from afar, “Congratulations baby girl. I'm proud of you!”

Even if no one tells me that they're proud of me, personally, I am proud of myself.

Studying Frank's look, he appears to be a little sad. Out of curiosity I decided to ask him.
