Give up Music and be a CEO
Give up my music.
Is he for real?
No way.
This is just not done.
How he can snatch my most valuable treasure from me?
Music is my life.
This can’t be done.
“This is just not fair Dad; you didn’t tell me earlier that I have to give up on my music for this.” I said. Irritation can be sensed in my voice.
“I am not done yet. And I told you not to interrupt me again and again.” He also said little irritated. Mirroring my expressions I guess.
“What else left?” I growled.
“Nobody here knows you. And I want you to earn your respect by yourself.” He said
I was standing there confused.
I didn’t get what he was trying to say.
So I was just about to say something but sensing my confused state he again said.
“I want you to do an assignment on a big scale, without letting anyone know about your original identity as my son.” And he continued.
“I will introduce you to my company and Board members after successfully completion of that assignment.”
“But Dad…” I again tried to say something but failed miserably.
“Shuush…..” he said and continued
“In that assignment, you will be working with few other employees of the company.
You have to prove your worth to people of this company.
This way you will get to know the value of hard work, respect, trust, patience, determination, integrity, companionship, leadership and many other traits.
We will hide the fact that you are my son.
You have to work like a normal employee with them.
And when you do so, they will respect and appreciate you from their heart.”
He finished speaking with hopes in his eyes.
He was expecting me to say something, and with his experienced eyes, he was reading my expressions.
On other hand, I was processing the fresh piece of information that is just provided to me in these few minutes.
“Ok Dad, I will do as you say…” I was cut off by my Dad and he said before hugging my tightly,
“Oh I am proud of you my son. I am sure you will definitely achieve great success in this new journey of your life. I am very….”
This time I cut him off while he was saying,
“Excuse me Dad, but I am also not finished yet.” I said little annoyed.
He gave me a confused look.
“I understand Dad that you are quite happy with my decision. I am also ready to take up my responsibility of ‘your business’, no it will be better to say ‘our business empire’ but I also have one condition.” I stated with strong voice.
“What condition?” I asked frowning.
“I will not give on my music and you will never force me to quit music”
“What.. ?? No…” he asked and rejected my condition.
And I spoke again, “Dad I will handle business with my whole heart, with full passion and with sincerity but I want to continue my passion towards my music also.
Dad, music is my life. I cannot live without music. Please Dad Please.”
I said pleading.
He seems to be in deep thoughts.
“Dad, if you force my heart to quit music than my heart will not be at peace while handling business.” I said directly looking in his eyes this time.
After thinking for a while he nodded and slowly a smile starting to form its way on his lips.
Oh God, I can’t believe this, he is ready to except my condition.
Now I don’t have to quit my passion for music.
Oh, Thank you God!
“Ok Sid, I accept your condition. Now everything is settled. So can we move to meeting room.” Dad said to me.
“There some people are waiting for us. Now you will get to know about the assignment that you need to complete. Come on son lets go.”
He said and we both ushered toward the meeting room.
