"Maa, for once just tttrust me! I can sssing and they loved it. Please jjjust let me go!" pleaded Rhea
"Rhea I am your mother and I know what is good for you and what's not. You are not going to any music academy. Get that clear in your head!"
"Let her go Mom! She'll come back when they will throw her out!" smirked Rohan
"I Dddon't think my going there or not ccconcerns you in any way! So ssstay shut or I'll tell mom what you do in your rrroom for hours after we sssleep!" snapped an angry Rhea.
"Whatever" Rohan left fearing the warning given by her sister.
"Get ready for your school. I'll drop you today so that you don't run away lying about your whereabouts again. And I'll make sure the teachers pay special attention to your progress!" said Rhea's mom
***********
In Rhea's room
I am not going to give up now when I am so close to my dream. I have to find a way!!
Her eyes fell on the guitar lying on the floor.
*********
Rhea comes out of her room singing her favourite song and playing guitar!
Her mother was stunned..
"How did I do Maa... Did you se I didn't even stammer once! This is what music does to me Maa!"
Rhea's mother went inside her room without uttering a word, leaving Rhea in doubt.
***********
"I dddon't know whether she'll allow me or not yar! I really want her by my side." said Rhea while talking to her friend on call.
Just then her mother came out and extended money to her. Confused with this gesture, Rhea reluctantly stood up, "Maa.."
"This is the fees for your first semester. Tomorrow I'll go and withdraw your admission from the business school..."
Just as an excited Rhea was about to hug her, her mother stopped her midway and asked with concern in her eyes, "I hope you you know what you are doing! This isn't going to be easy for you. You will have to win a lot of fights for your dream"
"I've never been this sure in my entire life, and with you on my ssside, I know I can ccconquer anything" said a grinning Rhea.
"I trust you honey!"
They hugged each other and everything just fell in place for Rhea.
*********
Tomorrow will be my first day. New people, new place... Will they like me? What if I don't make any friends! What if I don't fit in!
Shut up Rhea!! Everything will be fine. Just remember "Only I can change my life! No one can do it for me!"
With these thoughts in her mind, Rhea drifted off to sleep to awaken to a new world of opportunities and challenges awaiting her.
