CHAPTER ONE

Let's embark on a whimsical journey back to the day I made my grand entrance into this beautiful world. Born into a family that had enough to provide me with a top-notch education in Hawani, I never had to worry about finding a roof over my head or anything like that. We were comfortably cruising through life on my father's hard-earned earnings, with my mother adding to the family pot as a doctor. As for my father's actual occupation, well, it remained a bit of a mystery. Maybe he was a secret ice cream taste-tester? A professional pillow fluffer? The possibilities were endless!

In my merry little gang, I had the joy of having two younger sisters who seemed way more mature than their years, and a little brother who was the absolute embodiment of cuteness. And then there were Ryan and Lee, the dynamic duo always ready to sprinkle some excitement and adventure into our lives.

Now, picture my sheer elation when our band, Souls of Symphony, finally released a song that hit all the right notes. It was a triumphant moment after a series of less-than-stellar singles that left us feeling like we were trying to juggle oranges on a unicycle-let's just say it was more slippery than satisfying. But this time, oh boy, we struck gold! Ryan, our guitar maestro, conjured up the magic with his rhythmic strumming, while Lee dazzled us all with his lead guitar skills. As for me, I belted out the vocals with the passion of a thousand opera singers. We occasionally had some drumming buddies join us, but most of the time, we relied on a professional beat-keeper to keep our rhythm in check.
