The D-day is finally here. It was Kelvin’s first time to come on stage to explore his talent to the world. His first step towards his dreams, he had anticipated so big for the gold medal because there are a lot of things going in his mind that he wished to accomplish as a young musician. At times dreaming big doesn't help when it comes to times of disappointment, only the strong ones can handle the shock. So at times when we think positively we should also think the other way round too.

Everyone got on stage and sang their songs. It was Kelvin’s turn then he got on stage and was much scared but happier than ever! He never believed himself coming on stage his sister got frightened and forgot how they rehearsed for the show, she flopped.

It pained Kelvin to heart but what would he do about it? he encouraged her they can do better. The announcement of the result was made and Kelvin was announced second to the last position. But one thing he gained from the show was confidence and he also learned some additional skills from others from his experience so far, he figured out his flaws and pondered how much he needed to improve. He was wise for that. His sister cried for days but still, he told her they are going to do better.

Josh, Kelvin’s friend who told him about the competition, was planning for his wedding ceremony and told Kelvin that he would be the one to perform live on stage on his wedding day. They were both in their final year in the higher institution. Grace was still at home but she made sure she tried to support her brother’s education by all means. If Kelvin should make it then her education is rest assured.

Countdown to Josh’s wedding day. Kelvin and his sister made sure they practiced perfectly and they have already overcome the fear from the stage. They got more confidence in themselves and she promised never to disappoint her brother again. Her words gave him a reason to keep moving.

After the wedding ceremony was over Josh appreciated his performance as he got positive feedback from people who attended the ceremony. Some people asked for his phone number and tried reaching out to him to sing for them too. He realized everything had already begun to change for good. He never tarnished his reputation because of money. No matter how rich or poor, he would charge them a little and affordable amount. This made him reach out to a lot of people in no time. Though he wasn’t that famous yet he is living happily doing what he loves, that alone became another source of happiness to him.

He would always take a look at his mum’s frame and say “Mum your son is doing fine”. They never ignored their father but he was the one trying to ignore them. He never got married to another woman after their mother but the alcohol addiction is just something that bothers them a lot.

One morning Kelvin got a strange call and was invited to sing at a birthday party. After the party, the chief who anchored the party enjoyed his music and called him back for a quick interview about his life. He felt bad after listening to his story and how he had to pass through a lot to get to the stage he is. Then he promised to take complete responsibility for his sister's education and get Kelvin a complete set of musical instruments. Kelvin was out of words as tears of joy began to drop down his face. He never knew how much to thank him for his generosity. He broke the good news to his sister and she was extremely happy 😃. She did perfectly well at school and was sponsored to study music at a musical college abroad. Upon her arrival, Kelvin already worked hard to get a studio where he also had his music crew while he made connections with some music producers too.

He already got his first album set but he decided to wait for Grace’s arrival before launch 🚀. Grace arrived with her degree and made the music album with her brother, to their greatest surprise the music hit millions of views on YouTube and became the most-streamed album of the year. This raised their fame and made them more popular. They made several music hits and received several awards for their good job and contribution to the music industry.
