Music and Destiny part 6

I was holding the card for a long time
as I was inside the lockless apartment
im not afraid to be robbed anymore..I have nothing already
"Mr. Franco! u are my angel" I say

and I remember Ivo suddenly...I havent noticed that he was the lead guitar
of the Positive band...I barely watch them..because I was
focusing at the main vocalist my favorite...

I heard a noise outside and I never thanked Ivo for
helping me getting up on stage
I opened the door..and he was startled
"Jesus Christ! are you going to kill me???" he said with his eyes wide open

"NO~~~!" I replied
"ah....I wanted to thank you....about earlier..for helping me up" I added
"I was surprised..you got some talent in you, did Mr. Franco talked to you?" he asked
"Yes..he said I'll be on audition for the main vocalists' position" I answered
"what? He's crazy!!" He sighed
"what's the matter...???" I asked
"Can I talk to you?" he requested
"sure!" I said

I was thinking to get closer to Ivo so I could get his vote tomorrow

"Mina...Rock is a tough business...and dont be offended but I think
your'e not suited..I mean you dont fit in! its great that u have talent
but this business needs character and its a different lifestyle...I can see
that your'e different from it..unless u allow yourself to undergo a total makeover"

"I have come a long way...I will do everything, even if its a cosmetic surgery"

I answered with conviction

He stood up from sitting in the sofa and said

"Im sorry but you'll never have my vote tomorrow"

then he walked out of the apartment and closed the door

Now what Mina? u have one vote out.....

but I still have 4 remaining votes

from the drummer, bassist, keyboard player and the manager

what's wrong with me? am I ugly???

I started looking at the mirror and found myself

all i can see is softness and simplicity...I dont even wore make up

I needed change...

Mina's Part:

I became so sad especially when I knew that
I might not be able to stay here longer...
half of my money is in that big bag...
should I be on the police station?
I dont think so...I have phobias in police station
I dont know anyone here...where am I heading??
I dont even know where the hell is that bar
I need to watch that concert....or atleast enjoy my stay here
in tampere...
even though Im half broke and dirty...
well im not now..but eventually..

I am new to cry then I saw this big neon lights saying
the berta's bar.....I suddenly saw a glimpse of hope
the Positive band is in there, it could be a good place
to ask for a gig...I will be able to earn much...
Im really lucky that here in tampere
rock n roll is sung in english..so i dont have problems with that
or I could audition for a band...
this is just the beggining of my dreams...
I have to grab this opportunity...
----------------------------------------

The concert started...and the Positive band was there
it was really dark and smokey
I can feel the rock vibe and im getting it...
I forced myself to be in front of the stage
and I saw this man

He was familiar to me...

It cant be he's the lead singer of Positive band...my favorite band

but he was singing their song...Im confused

the concert continued...I was always drowned with their song

so I enjoyed it..every bit....it was like a dream....

I sing a long...I didn't know that audiences here in this bar

would rather listen thatn sing a long...

so I was like dueting with the man above on that stage

then the singer looked at me when he heard me screaming the highest note

in the song...

and it was a familiar face...

in shock the song continues and there's no one singing

It was Ivo the sexy guy who helped me earlier

he was looking at me and she held me up to the stage

He handed me the mic

and started ripping the songs and nailing every note of it.

the song ended and I thanked..I am mina and I love positive band's song

I said...and I went off the stage...I walked in fast paced

I was embarrassed but I didnt know why am I embarassed?

I was walking unthinking that I was at the back stage

a huge man suddenly appeared

"Mina! mina! mina!...hello...im the manager of Positive band

I wonder if you are free tomorrow...?"

OK! or shall I say that's cool!

"that's cool..im free tomorrow...what's the event?" I said

"hahaha..ur funny girl!...its not really an event...you see

I have this problem with the main vocalist..." he said

I looked at him so intensely...problem...with my #1 vocalist in the world?

"I know i know your a fan of him..but he quitted and left the band

I dont want to be jobless in the next few weeks and we have few gigs

and he left me with this trouble...I can see that u can sing the band's song

and I think ur even better...so I hope u can make it tomorrow

for practice and lets settle there if the band can take u as the new

singer..u gotta help me with my problem...pls pls pls pls"

I told him

"are you kidding me? i should be the one begging for his position

this is the reason why I went here in tampere..."

he said

"but..I cant assure you this position..the band is really tough so

I think u need to do good..its going to be an audition tom..ok

where do u live?"

I answered

"I live next door to Ivo's apartment"

He looked at me in suspicion..."ok! here's my card call me if u need something!"

then he started walking away

Music and Destiny part 4

IVO's Part:

I saw this girl...or I may say she's asian.
I can see her eyes dazzling as she chooses to pick among the tasty looking bread
I supposed he didn't knew me...I was really amazed by her beauty because
it was out of common...out of the box
She was like a surprise..

I got to go to my room my band mates are waiting for me
while I open the door to exit
my fans started screaming....

I felt someone following me
I frequently look back but i make sure that I dont fully
reveal my face...I dont want another photo of me in the internet
or in the newspaper with another false issue
This days I get a lot of publicity
I might say that it contributes to our gigs
but most of it was depressing and untrue

I felt like the following was endless...and Im nearly to my apartment
so I looked back, because I felt like I was being invaded
especially my privacy..and I know its too much
I didnt like this kind of action
I love my fans...but I dont want them to love me because of my
personal affairs rather bother my Music instead

I looked back and saw the girl I saw in the bakery
she was shocked...I asked if she was stalking me?
she did not understand...I forgot that she look like a tourist
so I translated it "ARE YOU STALKING ME!!"
but wait...maybe stalking is not a good word!
"Why are you following me?"

as soon as she started explaining...
I cant even hear what she's saying
but I kept looking at her face
I waited a moment to see what she's doing
I supposed she moved to the next apartment
she walk in at that door...so I went in to my room
but before I finished unlocking the knob
I heard a loud scream....
I went into the room..and saw her passed out
I helped her..and throw her into my couch

I noticed her things are not there in the room
I was looking for an identification atleast
but none..I found nothing...
I remember what I watched on tv last night..
a new robbery was out in the city and most of the victims are tourists..
Poor girl....should I help her

after a few hours...I saw her waking up
she asked "where am I?"
I told her she was in my apartment, she thanked
I thought she was really cute even after waking up
she thanked me...and I was really happy...but I kept my snob face in pose

she tried to stand up..and she was shaking

I went near trying to help

but she fell...in my arms..and she was looking at me

my heart was about to explode

then she said something that broked my snob expression

"It was you....the sexy guy...in front of my door!"

"aha! so you thing Im sexy ha!" I replied
she rapidly walked out of my apartment...


I knew from then on that she likes me
and I like her too....

Music and Destiny part 3

As soon I was awake...
things are kinda blurry...I saw 4 people and they were looking down at me
and I heard a voice.."move move move"

"she's awake!"

I tried to sit down and shook my head
rubbed my eyes..and say "where am I?"

"Your'e in my apartment...you were robbed and you passed out"
"thank you, what's your name?" I asked
"Ivo..." he said

"thank you Ivo....I have to go I have some appointment, what time is it?"
"its 8pm.." he answered
"ok...i have to move now!" I said...I tried to stand up but things get blurry again
I was about to fall..but somebody got me...I touched his arms and I looked up
"It was you....the sexy guy...in front of my door!" I said, and suddenly I felt embarrassed
I shouldve been tackless about saying things...specially here in a country where I dont belong

"aha! so you thing Im sexy ha!" Ivo replied

Then I closed the door...I was so stupid...I didn't even had the chance to thank
him for the last time...I closed my eyes..and took a deep breathe
I have to get things back to normal and so I started looking at my passport
and wallet....Thank God I have my Wallet and passport in my coat

My phone rang and I answered..
"hey! did you arrived safely?" my mother asked
"I did!" it was a lie...but I thought it will be a good idea not to tell her
or she'll be paranoid and have a heart attack.
"im ok mom! i have to hand up...im getting ready for the concert!" I bid my
goodbye and press the phone...

Music and Destiny part 2

I arrived at the terminal and I saw a huge card and a woman in her 30's
waving her hand...in that card it says my name....she was shouting!
"Mina"....I knew it was my name...but I heard it in different tone

"are you Mina?" she asked
"yes!" Then she started to carry my bags, she was pointing the van
as I was approaching the van
I was confused if the van is really secluded
from the seat of the driver...but I did get in...it was getting cold
and Im not used in this whole winter season
She opened the small window and she started this conversation
she started asking with

"you are musician? I can tell from ur clothes" she told
She looked at the mirror and started smiling....
"ah! I need to know where is BERTA's BAR is...Im going for a concert" I asked
"when?" she asked
"tonight!" I answered
"ok I'll teach you the way...." she said
"aren't you available to take me there?" I requested
"I have ah...something...an appointment.....in ah ah ah.....
the office..." she struggles to answer
I knew that she's avoiding the request so I just shut up...

The van stopped and she was pointing the apartment and handed me the key

I was confused about the apartment I rented

because its not this extravagant like what Im seeing now

So I jumped off the van..and started walking

The key has 3 digits...203 ....so I supposed it was the rooms' number

There are few people outside the apartment

and they were holding big Posters and I dont even understand what's in it

so i just passed them...

I got to the room...and it was empty..I was really hungry so I put my bags down

and went downstairs to buy something on the bakery outside

The breads....I can see the breads being prepared....I wonder how it tastes

so I went in

I bought one large bread and several pastries for snacks and breakfast

I was walking towards the door of the bakery and a tall blonde man with his bread

went out..and girls outside started screaming...I was walking

and I noticed that we are walking down the same apartment..

He kept looking at his back..which I supposed to be me..

So I think he was thinking im stalking him...I dont even know him

he stopped at the hallway and looked at me really hard

"Oletko vaanii minua?" he said

I was stunned...he was beautiful..more like a woman

"Im sorry I dont speak finnish!" I utterly and sounded a little bit shaky

"why are u following me?" he asked

"Im not following you...I live next door" I said..I suddenly stopped breathing

He gave me a cold stare...it was like he was not believing im saying

so I try to explain more..."Im a tourist...and stalking is not my hobby...

I dont know you either..." and I started working on with my keys...

and I noticed that the door is open...I am sure that I locked the door

I dont want to make a fuss since he's still there standing and looking at me

so i didn't bother the door not being locked...and went inside immediately...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i screamed)

my bag was nowhere to be found

my clothes are all gone

it wasn't long till the man I saw before opened the door

and asked "what happened?"

I turned around and I saw the neighbors coming in

it was blurry at the same time...and I wasn't hearing anything

I fell and everything was black

Music and Destiny part 1

I cant believe I'm holding this airplane ticket to Finland
I dont know yet how Im going to find my dreams there
This is going to be a crazy journey

I was looking every people in this international airport
everyone is tall....its fresh to see people who has different colors
I was walking towards the Exit...I was excited, I cant hide my smile
for I know that dream...the dream I always wanted is here already
I held my head up, I was closing my eyes as the suns warmth touched
every inch of my face... I cant believe its Winter but The Morning sun
is bidding me welcome..I think its a great start

I took a deep breathe....and shouted
Tampere here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know that its convenient to take a plane to go to tampere from the capital
but I think it will make a good adventure If I take the road
so I decided to take the bus

Im feeling really good that Im here in Finland

but I am taking several looks from people...maybe its because Im asian

and I am new to the view...or maybe they are curious because im a musician

atlast I arrived at Tampere

coming soon

find out how this young lady found his dream in another land
but never expected to find an addened baggage surprise....
