Priscilla: "Yes, he is the man who gave me a lift today and he is here to watch my performance."

Grey: "Right."

Sasha: "You are right. Indeed, he is the man who gave you the lift and he is also here to watch your performance but he is not an ordinary man. He is the VIP guest of today's show."

Priscilla: "What do you mean?"

Sasha: "He is the son of the producer. Grey Allaire is also an entertainment reporter and a violinist."

Priscilla: "Oh that reporter. No wonder he looks like a reporter."

Priscilla looked at Grey and bowed her head while saying, "Thank you so much, Mr. Grey."

Sasha looked at her wristwatch and said, "Now, as the guest and a performer are here so let's go and start the performance because it is not a good reason to make your fans wait or tired."

Grey: "All the best Priscilla."

Priscilla passed a bit smile.

After a few minutes,

Some members of the orchestra appeared.

Everyone in the audience clapped.

After setting, a leader of an orchestra pointed and signed to summon the conductor,

The conductor appeared.

The conductor signed to summon Priscilla.

Priscilla appeared on the stage and bowed her head while smiling.

Everyone stood up and clapped happily.

Priscilla sat on the piano, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and started playing the piano.

She started playing a piano tune (blindly) named 'Mozart' at a fast speed.

After some time she recalled the memories of her parent's last show.

[Her mother was an Italian opera singer, and her father was an international pianist. They both died in a car accident.]

She shrank her closed eyes and stopped after playing. The teardrops fell on the piano.

Orchestra members played their musical instruments lightly but when Priscilla stopped playing the piano everyone became shocked and curious about her next step.

Grey and Sasha were observing her closed and teary eyes.

She sobbed. Her sobbing sound echoed in the entire hall. She wiped her tears with one of her hands.

She took a deep breath and started playing a piece of light music in piano tone while still closing her eyes.

That piano tone was strange but it was played by her father (Michael) in his last performance.

She started singing an opera song named, "Quando man vo".

That opera song was sung by her mother (Hailey) in her last performance with her father (Michael).

Everyone was shocked even the orchestra members were also confused but they started playing their instruments by following their conductor's lead.

Sasha was sitting with the director and Grey.

Sasha leaned her head towards Grey's ear and whispered, "I have never seen her singing an opera song. She is singing like a professional opera singer."

Grey looked at Sasha and replied, "But she is a vocalist, I wonder how she is singing the opera song that perfectly."

The director: "This performance might be a birthday surprise for the audience and her fans."

Sasha: "Is that so?"                           

The director: "Yes it might be."

Sasha: "Why didn't she discuss her plan with me?"

Grey: "Indeed! She is such a multi-talented girl. I am deeply amazed."

After the three minutes performance,

Priscilla opened her teary eyes and became quiet then she stood up and bowed her head towards the audience.

Everyone in the audience was amazed by her surprising performance.

Everyone stood up and clapped happily.

Priscilla looked at the audience and suddenly she looked at a little girl who was sitting with her guardians.

Priscilla was again reminded of her parent's last performance.

She was expressing sorrow through her serious facial expressions.

Her teary eyes were showing her unhappy expressions.

She rashly stepped backstage.

Sasha: "Something is wrong."

Grey: "What do you mean?"

Sasha: "She looks unhappy. I better go backstage and ask her."

Sasha and Grey followed her.

She was sitting on the couch while putting her hands on her forehead as if she had a headache.

Kate was helping Priscilla to eat some painkillers.

Sasha and Grey opened the door of the makeup room.

Sasha: "What happened to you Priscilla, Are you okay?"

Priscilla: "I don't know my throat is aching continuously and I have a headache."

Grey stepped out of the room and asked his assistant to bring a doctor.

Grey entered the room and said, "If you couldn't bear to sing an opera song then why did you sing that song?"

Priscilla: "I missed someone. It was sudden."

Sasha: "What? I don't understand, why did you prepare that song as a surprise? You know your health is most worthy than anything."

Priscilla: "What are you saying, I didn't prepare any surprise I just felt unconscious. I was lost in my memories and I don't even have any idea about how I sang that opera song."

Grey: "The doctor is going to arrive here and you better freshen up because the ceremony is starting soon."

Sasha; "Thank you sir."

Priscilla: "Well, How did I sing an opera song, Do anyone of you have a video of my performance."

Kate: "Yes, I have."

Priscilla grabbed Kate's phone and glanced at the video of her performance.

After listening to her performance she started crying and said, "Mommy, daddy!"

Sasha was standing with Grey.

Grey: "What happened to her parents?"

Sasha: "Ten years ago, they died in a car accident."

Suddenly Grey's assistant appeared and whispered in Grey's ear.

Grey: "Excuse me."

Sasha: "Once again, thank you so much, Mr. Grey."

Grey smiled and stepped out of the room.

Priscilla wiped her teary eyes and said, "Kate, put on some makeup on my face. I don't want to cry anymore."

Sasha: "It's your birthday ceremony and you better don't wear this black dress."

Kate: "Mam, she is right."

Sasha: "I have settled some costumes for you in the dressing room."

Suddenly Grey's assistant appeared again and informed them (Sasha, Kate, and Priscilla) about the doctor's presence.

The doctor was Grey's cousin.

The doctor appeared in the room and examine Priscilla's situation. He recommended a drink for curing the low blood pressure.

While checking Priscilla's blood pressure, the doctor mumbled: "You seem worried about something."

Sasha: "Should we cancel this ceremony?"
