He walked down the shore hoping the breeze would help sweep the sonorous thought from his mind.All his life he has always wanted to be a super star in music,but whenever he keeps trying he fails.many of his friends mocked him and some left him claiming that he has nothing to offer.Donald was neglected by many of his friends and literally became a subject of ridicule.Even his parents were strongly against his musical career all they ever wanted was for Donald to become a medical doctor, but that wasn't his dreams or passion.
"Hey Donald, crying and lamenting is not the solution"Monalisa's voice came up from no way and snapped Donald out of his muggy thought.
"Mona how long have you been here"
"Not long, I noticed you from distance"she exhaled deeply looking at Donald's red eyes.
"You don't need to tell me what is wrong,I know it already"
"I'm fine, nothing's wrong"Donald muttered trying to cover up the wrong thing.Monalisa chuckled and moved closer to him holding his hands firmly.
"You may not tell me,but I just feel I need to say something to you.as your friend am really concerned about you, I know you have tried so many times but it seems it's not working don't just give up there's light always at the end of the tunnel.The only moment you fail is the moment you give up.
I know you feel discouraged already and I Know you are at the verge of giving up, but don't look back, look ahead, fight for your dreams they'll be oneday become a reality. I'm sorry for the pains you've been through, the humiliation and everything, just know that All of this will add to your testimony very soon, and don't forget focus, determination and hard work leads to success.You can make it" Monalisa's kind words Pierced into Donald's heart giving him hope, making him believe that yes he can make it,
"Monalisa you're an angel sent from God to amend my heart.Thanks so much for your kind words, at least I feel strong, relieved and loved,Music is my passion,my dreams and I can't give up now"
"Yeah,you've gone so far to give up, you'll make it.the last musical competition that qualifies into the college is coming up very soon, grap that opportunity"
"Thanks Mona, I'll give it a try again"Mona nodded letting go of his hands.
"You don't really need to be like this at least smiles can help'Donald couldn't help but smile, after spending some time together they went their way, those words ringing in Donald's heart.
The last musical competition day had finally come, every one up and doing to make sure they won. Donald wasn't left out, he put in extra effort to make sure he doesn't loss this time.it was a colourful day, as people were called up for their presentation, the crowd would not stop cheering and hailing the presenters. Finally Donald was called up the stage, with smiles across his face, looking so spiffy, girls could not stop drooling, he began his presentation in an unusual way.
'wow'escaped from everyone's lips, his presentation was just lmpeccable, never has he presented that Way.Monalisa looked stunned finding it hard to believe her eyes. After the presentation different awards and position were awarded to different people and to the uttermost surprise of everyone Donald was the Best."oh my God"Mona exclaimed with her two palms covered on her mouth. Everyone were left stunned including his parents.
"I knew a day like this would come, but I didn't know it would come soon."Donald began and tears freely dropped.
"So many left me because they felt I was never gonna make it in this field, I was discouraged and almost gave up but"he paused and looked around and his eyes caught with monalisa who smiled broadly.
"But God sent me an angel,who ignited the candle that almost got dimed, who was solidly behind me when others were not, who believed in me and assured me that I would make it. Everyone knows how many times I've tried but failed, she was the one who told me never to be afraid of failures I should face them and fight for my success"Donald said and was already in front of Monalisa who couldn't help but cry. All attention was now on them,lot of people screamed admiring them.
"Monalisa thanks so much, thanks for being there for me even when I never expected, your words made me the person I am today, I'm not just the best graduate but this has boast my fame"Monalisa couldn't help she quickly jumped on him hugging him tightly he reciprocated, shouting and clapping ovation took over the place.
