“Rhea” “Rhea”.. “RHEA”.. Shouted Ms Neela while Rhea was lost in the echo of numerous claps of the people cheering her name.
The last call for her name made her snap out of her dream and jump in her seat. The entire class laughed at this daily dose of drama they got.
“Yes ma’am, I have cccompleted my homework and I’ll sssubmit it today itself.” answered a nervous Rhea without a clue about why her name was being called up.
“I’ll collect your homework with others but for a change please answer to your roll call for today”, replied Ms Neela exasperated with Rhea’s habit of being lost in class.

The day went as usual- Rhea being the centre of attraction in each class for all the wrong reasons. And finally the Rhea’s favourite part of the day when she can get out of the place she hates and withdraw herself to her dreams.
“I told you I suck at Acccounts and Business. The teachers hate me. Why can't I just go to a music ssschool rather than a business ssschool?”
“You can't even talk properly. The audience will run away if you start singing!” teased Rohan, the little brat in the house.
“Rohan, behave yourself and say sorry to your sister. And Rhea stop complaining. You should feel fortunate that we are able to afford your education. I want you two to focus on your studies and succeed in life and not waste your time on a hobby like music.” Rhea’s mother said to her with a heavy heart as she didn't believe in her daughter's capability to sing because of her stammer.
Disheartened, Rhea returned to her room and took out the form for admission in the best music school in town from her drawer.
Will she ever be able to gather the courage and motivation to pursue her dream or she’ll give up because of her limitation?
