he replied, Here I come. His uncle gave a basket of fruit and he picked an apple.
Matham was watching television, then he tried to interrupt and asked, I want
to be a singer.
No! I will never let you do. his uncle abruptly retorted, its not that good.
The apple fell from his hand. Troye dismally walked to his room at the time. No tear
ran down from his eyes. The sky was getting dark. He was sitting at the corner.
His aunt just arrived. For a while, Belinda put dishes on the table and called
for the others. Troye was going to downstairs. Sound of conversation loundened from

room. Then, Bradley told, Express your feeling out, let me hear your voice. He
touched a microphone over his head. Smile on his face showed how much he was
happy. Troye started covering a song which called How far Ill go of Alessia Cara.
The song expressed his attempt. Bradley was surprised with Troyes melodious voice
and began shutting his eyes and opened his audition. Pictures of content came up in
Bradleys mind.
A black video-camera was recording. Belinda wiped tears on her cheek and
