Tara and I decided to spend some quality time at my house after the lectures ended. That's when I came to know how she is still passionate about music. I remember her being the same when we were small.

//Flashback

"Do you know what I love the most?" asked a tiny little Tara with a silly smile on her face.

I replied unsurely ,"Music?" which sounded more like a question rather than a reply.

Her face instantly brightened as she said a very loud "yes" when I had to close my ears. She started playing the songs of Taylor Swift with the guitar in her hand. Her voice has always been soothing and melodious. Even though we were small I'd said,"You'll surely be a great singer and guitarist." Her face held a long stretched smile.

//End of flashback

Today she was going to perform for the first time at 8 in the evening in front of all the friends in Radhika's house. She was so stressed about it that she kept pacing here and there practicing the lyrics again and again. She was really nervous and I said, "You are just in front of us today. We are your friends and we'll support you no matter what." Her face held a slightly relaxed smile showing how she was really grateful for my words.

Pari and Radhika had arrived and all three of us had the task of dressing up Tara today for her performance. We found a black lace gown in her closet and decided it was perfect for the occasion. I straightened her wavy, light brown hair while Pari eagerly did the make up and Radhika stood the incharge for jewellery. After she was ready, she looked at herself in the mirror and stood in awe. She got out of the room and we saw that the others had arrived. The others included Sargam, Vikram, Sujit, Sara(Tara's younger sister) and unfortunately Samantha whom Sargam had decided to invite. I wanted to oppose it but decided to see what happens.

As soon as Tara entered, all the eyes were upon her and I could see the pink blush forming on her cheeks. She took her guitar and played lyrics of a song. The song had been written by me.

"Chorus:

I'm just tired and tired and tired
Of everything;
I just want to leave this
And run away.

My thoughts are getting
All messed up
My life is being
Fully worked up
I don't how to learn
And keep up
My anger is getting
Always riled up

Chorus

I am getting through
Various tensions
I am unable to
Make decisions
I don't want my
Problem's mentions
I want to pass through
These complications

Chorus

I just start crying
When it isn't needed
I can't see how
My situation will be ended
The ones I care about
make me offended
I don't know why to me
Problem has been handed

Chorus

I just want from
Here a get out
I want to be alone
Releasing my mind's shout
Will this ever end
I'm having a doubt
I can't judge
What's all this about

Chorus"

It was a worthy song when its words were mixed with Tara's mesmerizing voice. Her singing astounded all except me. I felt really proud of my friend and as soon as the song was completed a thundering applause was given by us. Only one who held an unimpressed face was the person who disgusted me the most. Samantha. She gave a diapproval to Tara saying," Your voice was worst than those of elephants." My face was red with anger and I was ready to through that girl out of this house when someone touched my shoulder. I turned around to find Sargam who very kindly did the same thing I wanted to do. I was happy to say the least.

This is how my day ended with my true friends by my side whom I'd lost and gained once again in the long run.
