Seventeen years later......


Annabella came out of a black car with her guitar hanging on her shoulder. She smile and wave at the driver in the car. Then the car drove away.

She smile and unlock the gate walking into the small compound and into the house.

The house was smelling nice. Her grandmother was cooking.

"Welcome dear." She heard someone said behind her. She hold her chest and she heard her grandmother laugh.

"Grandma, you scared me." She said walking to meet her. "I thought you were in the kitchen, the house smell nice."

"Sorry, i didn't mean to scare you." She apologized. "Who brought you home?"

"A friend."

"A friend?" She asked.

She roll her eyes at her grandmother. "Common grandma, I'm not a baby. I'm a graduate. I am about to have my master degree."

"It does not matter, you are still the baby of the house."

"I'm not a baby grandma." She disagree.

"Tell that to your dad." She smile and move her chair in the direction of the kitchen.

"Where is my dad?" She asked on top of her voice. And she move down the hall without waiting for reply from her.

She knock on the door of her father office. She walk in.

"Hey princess, how was practice?" He asked. He was watching a movie in his office - something that was very rare.

" Are you sure you don't want to go into music? " He asked.

" I love music but I'm not doing it to have fans or recognition. I'm doing it because i love it and i enjoy doing it. "

" That's great." He commented." I'm okay with anything you do. "
