Story Title: GIFT
Ada was a pepper seller in the very busy Ukodo market. There was something that differentiated her from others in the trade. It was not because she had just finished from college, but her voice that sounds like that of a nightingale. She went for an audition and was rejected on the excuse that she could not harmonize well. Ada returned to the market in distress and wouldn’t be consoled by her mum. She stood motionless behind her table as her mum’s encouraging words led her to tears. When she opened her mouth and began to sing, her voice raised the adrenaline in everyone who heard her sing, coupled with the fact that she sang amidst tears. Among those who stood amused, was one who stood amazed! As Ada stopped the song abruptly, she noticed a man in front of her, separated by the table. “What is your name?” He asked. “Ada” she said. “This is an amazing voice”. He confessed. He works with Odix Muxic, the biggest music brand home and abroad. He told her that he is willing to sign her to their label. Few weeks later, she became the envy of everyone. Ada became an international singer.
