She took the stage with all her beauty and glamour. With her acoustic guitar in her hands and her beautiful smile, she had the crowds attention.
She was not new to this world, infact music and entertainment were part of her life since she was little.
Her father, now a retired artist who owned a music studio introduced her to this world.
When her father handed the responsibilities of taking over the family business, her entire life changed. She had little less time for the things she onced loved, her life became a routine.
As time passed, her old man died and the business started falling apart. Tight schedule and the deteriorating state of the business forced her to resort to drugs to help the stress.
Anyway despite these she was talented and the audience loved her so much.
So tonight she announced that this was her final stage appearance and she was done.
With tears in her eyes, she plucked those nylon strings and played a beautiful melody and sang a beautiful love song to which the audience sang along to.
But the tears she was crying was not because she was leaving but because she desired a normal life that was less complicated and stressful.
