Derrick remembered the first day he saw her. She was singing in a bar. She was like an angel . Her innocent smile, her eyes were so deep and beautiful that the whole world reflected in them. He felt his heart skipped a beat . He was attracted to the alluring beauty in front of him. Mostly, her voice ....It was magnetic with a unique quality to it. she sang a famous song, which reflected a deep melancholy in it..
" In the dark, you were my light
In the cold wind
You are holding my arms
All of those were my sweet memories
You left me all of a sudden
leaving behind me
My heart still bleeding
Please come back my love
I just wanna hold you one last time"
Her singing sounded more touching than the original singer's.The whole bar was silent. The audience were mesmerized by her voice.. When she finished, she was greeted with great applause and whistles. No one thought that a woman so good at singing could be so beautiful at the same time.. Derrick' s eyes were glued to her. He Couldn't control himself. He went to the stage and kissed on her cherry red lips .SLAP!!!!!! He was slapped by the beauty in front of him. He didn't feel any embarrassment because he knew that what he did was not right. But poor heart! It pulled the string for the first time instead of Brain. He followed his heart for the first time and got a slap. How ironic!!!! Dominic and Francis felt sympathy for his best friend. But Derrick was stll looking at that girl.. But ,she left the stage all of a sudden.
Derrick tried to find out her. But he only got her name, ISABELLA....She worked there as a part time singer.. But she quitted her job after that incident. He went there so many times, but the result were always ended in disappointment.
" Hey buddy, What's the matter? You seem to be in deep thought... Are you still dreaming about your little beauty. " Dominic teased him." Shut up Dom. I have to think about a lot of important matters which need immediate attention. It seems you are more obsessed to her than me". " Yes dude. If my best friend didn't have a crush on her, I would definitely had her by myself." Seeing Derrick's darkened face,he kept his mouth shut. "I was just kidding . Don't be so serious." " Let's talk about the work . Inform her to come for audition on day after tomorrow in our studio"." Ok . What about today's plan? " I have to finish the final composition. So i am leaving" Said Derrick and left." Some times I really feel that Derrick is the younger brother of Harry. Both are cold and aloof" Said Francis.
Isabella was busy in the company. She has to plan and arrange so many appointments for Harrison. She was checking her phone during the lunch time. suddenly her phone rang. It was an unknown number. She was a little hesitant to attend the call first. But took the call at last." Hello" . Am I talking to Isabella" "Yes ." " You have to come for an audition on tomorrow morning at ten . I will send the address of the venue to your number" . " Ok" Then the person on the other side hung up the call.
"Omg! What should I do? I didn't practice music for a long time. I am really screwed." She became really nervous. Seeing her abnormal face, Harrison couldn't help himself and asked" What's the matter Bella. Why are you so nervous?" " No Boss. I am Really good. If you don't mind can you please give me a half day leave . Tomorrow is my audition. I have to prepare for that". " It seems Derrick really want to hear her voice." thought Harrison." Alright Isabella" " Thank you Sir" She left the office after that. Suddenly, he felt an emptiness in his heart." Why? am I addicted to her presence? He felt difficult to find the answer.....
Bella reached her room and took out her guitar. It was gifted by her grandmother, Mellissa . She was the only one ,who truly loved her.. Even though,she was not her real grand mother,she treated Bella as her apple of eye. Grand mother gave the ancestral house to Bella before she died, which increased the hatred of her family towards her . But she never cared about their feelings . She remembered how Mellissa supported her. She insisted Bella to learn music ...The thought of her grandmother made her eyes wet ...
