Chapter 2: Pass to the Program
Winter finally arrives, Ava who is sitting in her studio suddenly gets a message from someone. Ava removed her headset and opened the message.
The message contained about his success to pass the audition program variety show.
‘Congratulations to Ava Luna who has successfully passed the survival program audition ‘Unlimited Youth Girls’. The next signing of the contract will be on February 20. For more information will be explained on the day of the signing of the contract as well as a short interview.’
Ava puts the phone back and intends to continue her work. But not for long, Sophie called. Ava quickly snapped the music and picked up Sophie's phone.
“Have you received any notification regarding the audition?” she asked Sophie before she even greeted her.
“Um, I just received it.” Ava said casually.
“Then how did it go ?” asked Sophie in a hurry.
“I successfully passed the audition and just need to come to sign the contract next month.” replied Ava informed the message she received.
Sophie sounded a sigh of relief. “Thank God you finally passed the audition. I'm so worried you can't get away.”
Ava laughed a little at him worrying. “No need to worry. You just need to improve your ability so as not to experience difficulties later.”
“I understand!” Sophie sounded excited after receiving the good news from Ava. “Then I'll be back in training again now. Bye!”
“Um..”
After that, the phone turned off and Ava who could smile amusedly shook her head slowly. He put his headset back on and concentrated on his work.
He is now writing the right lyrics for the song he just finished yesterday. The song has a soft melody with a faint piano and guitar accompaniment at the back. The atmosphere of the song feels a bit like a gentle person falling in love for the first time and explains what love is.
There is a rap in between the soft singing of women, this is to add a sense of interest from this song so it is not too boring. Ava also wrote songs and guides for the people who sang them.
Ava wrote the lyrics without a hitch but she always felt there was less to it. Although the song and lyrics are good, but he always felt that this song is a bit lacking in taste in it.
As soon as she finished with her song, Ava was a bit displeased. The feeling of falling in love is somewhat non-existent. Except this song is sung by people who really understand what it's like to fall in love.
Actually rather than the theme of falling in love, Ava is more happy with other themed songs such as passion, despair, and party nuances. Because maybe the only feelings that have never been felt are love and genuine affection.
Ava let out a long sigh and saved the file in a folder that read ‘Never’. Inside this folder are over 20 songs that Ava feels are lacking. He only kept it in case there was an event that required releasing this song.
After that, Ava leaned her head while thinking about whether there was any inspiration that could be obtained again. Ava opened the schedule Mr. gave. Wild was for him. He checked carefully and marked what songs were given to whom. He summed it up for a while then moved it to give to Mr. Wild at their meeting later.
Ava glanced at the clock as soon as she finished summarizing everything then patted her little belly feeling a bit hungry. So he immediately turned off his computer, grabbed his wallet and mobile phone and moved to stand up from his chair. Turn off the lights and go out of his office.
Ava has her own music office outside her apartment. A small office that he rented in the basement area of a commercial building at a low price but guaranteed security.
It has a recording room, a private office for receiving guests and a waiting room and a bathroom. At first, she wanted to be one between her office and her apartment. But after considering that he had to accept some guests in the future, so he ended up canceling the intention.
The area where he rented an office was in an urban area that had complete facilities such as supermarkets, drugstores, restaurants, and malls were also there. The starving Ava could now find food easily and only needed to walk a few meters from her office.
There is a restaurant that is like a hidden gem among all the restaurants in this place, he often comes there to eat. A home-style restaurant that is not too big, the food there presents a healthy and fresh home-cooked meal.
Ava arrives at a rather hidden restaurant and she immediately goes inside the restaurant. The restaurant wasn't big but today it happened to be a bit crowded, He found a table for two people, and immediately sat down.
A waiter came up to him and asked him what he wanted to order. Ava ordered without looking at the menu, one meat dish, one vegetable dish, rice and hot tea.
Once the order was recorded, the waiter left immediately. Ava plays her phone while waiting for orders to be delivered. In the middle of him playing a cell phone, someone came near his desk.
“Excuse me,” a heavy voice sounded in Ava's ear, making her lift her head.
Keegan who wants to have dinner after her busy schedule feels a bit disappointed when she sees her favorite restaurant full of customers. But even so she had no intention of giving up, so she looked around and found that there was a woman sitting alone looking indifferent to her surroundings and focused on her own phone.
At first he was a bit hesitant to join, for fear of being recognized. Even though he was fully dressed to avoid being recognized, there were usually still people who recognized him. But the problem was that he was already hungry and had no intention of moving to another restaurant, so he did not care about it and came to him to ask.
Ava looked at Keegan fully dressed with a hat and mask that covered half her face. “There can I help you with ?”
Keegan stared at the empty chair in front of Ava. “Can I sit here ? Other places full.”
Ava suddenly circulated her gaze and looked around seeing that the restaurant was indeed full of people who had just returned from work. He looked back at Keegan in front of him and nodded.
“Please.” said Ava allowed her to sit down.
Keegan thanked him and sat down before him and called the waiter and ordered noodles and water. Ava paid no further attention and looked back at her phone, focusing on her manager's talk about work.
Keegan notices the woman before her who seems to not recognize her and is busy on her own. So he became more relaxed and started taking out his phone to check for the latest messages.
Ava closed her chat when her order finally came. Ava kept her phone and prepared to eat her food, but then she remembered that there was a man in front of her. He lifted his head and found Keegan in front of him wearing a hat that covered his eyes and his face covered with a mask. Ava stared for quite a while and felt somewhat confused.
Of course this Keegan felt she was constantly being stared at so she raised her gaze and looked at Ava who was sitting in front of her.
Ava holds her food utensils a little, “Sorry, but I'll eat first.”
Keegan nodded. “Please.”
Ava gave a small smile then started eating with her head down. Keegan looked at the woman in front of him who was somehow acting foolishly with him. Just now she was staring somewhat clearly at the female in front of her and she could see her beautiful facial features that were covered in an aura of laziness that made her look like a lazy cat that was sitting without being bothered by others while relaxing.
Keegan stopped paying attention to Ava after a few seconds of observing for a while. When Keegan's order arrived, Ava seemed to have finished eating and said goodbye in a quiet voice and went out to the cashier to pay for her meal.
Ava who came out of the restaurant returned to her studio to write the song that came to her head while eating earlier. The feeling he rarely felt appeared, the feeling of being observed and the feeling of thumping. He of course felt the gaze of the man before him earlier and he felt a bit of a thump. That look was somewhat different from the gaze he had gotten before.
So while he was feeling it, he intended to immediately deliver it in the song before the taste he rarely felt was lost. That way, Ava stepped quickly back into her studio and arrived immediately.
Ava turned on her computer and recorder and began playing light notes on an electric piano near Ava's desk. He plays you a carefree fast while muttering little like giving melody to lyrics. Ava's fingers move on the keyboard while following her desires and feelings.
Ava let the feeling fill her and let it out completely through the song. Even occasionally Ava sings the sentence that just comes to mind. The most important thing right now is to convey this feeling before it disappears again later.
Once the feeling was finally conveyed and Ava felt more relieved, she said, he shifted to his computer and played his recordings and began fiddling with the song by adding some drum and bass sounds to add a rich taste to the song.
By the time he was done, the clock was already showing at four in the morning. Ava sighed tiredly but then she stared at the results of her new song with a smile. Almost all of her feelings turned into songs. Either the feeling of pleasure, sadness, bored, and now the feeling of pounding because of the gaze of others.
Since it was already three o'clock he intended to finish up the lyrics so that when the sun shone higher he could go home to rest. Ava already had an idea of the lyrics to be written so it was easy for her.
Ava's hand moved quickly on the keyboard while occasionally stopping to equalize the lyrics to the tone that had previously been made. When she finished, Ava began recording the lyrics by singing. She sang using the emotions she felt then after finishing, she changed her voice somewhat differently so that it could not be recognized later.
The song completion process was completed at six in the morning. Ava pinched the base of her nose while closing her eyes, beginning to feel fatigue engulfing her head. Of course Ava did not want this to continue so, she saved the file and immediately turned off her computer so that she could go home soon.
Ava did not forget to lock the office and walked home to her apartment not far from her office. On the way, Ava buys a sandwich and a glass of warm tea as breakfast before going to bed.

In the afternoon, in Ava's office, Mr. Wild sat in Ava's office while staring at Ava who seemed to be covered in a strong drowsy aura. Mr. Wild has known Ava for 5 years and is very satisfied with her current job. For a manager like him, his job to help Ava contact outsiders is not difficult even very helpful. With a decent salary, he only needed to negotiate with other parties who wanted to buy songs created by Ava. The terms and conditions of Ava are very clear that, he only needs to make a song and does not accept the existence of filming or meeting in physical form with outsiders.
In the meantime, Mr. Wild will handle meeting issues, talks about song purchases, signing contracts to everything related to the law.
Of course Mr. Wild did not find it difficult and he instead was happy because Ava was a polite person and easy to work with. Ava also never asked for anything difficult and always be professional.
After 5 years with Ava, he is a bit worried about Ava who sometimes likes to overtime excessively and looks very tired every day. Just like now, though,
Ava looks sleepy while operating her computer to copy files to be given to Mr. Wilds.
“Are you overtime again last night ?” ask Mr. Wild is worried.
Ava paused for a moment and her head moved to look at Mr. Wild slowly then nodded. After that, he looked back at his computer and clicked a few times and waited for a moment.
Mr. Wild could only let out a long sigh, seeing from Ava's reaction right now, it seemed like she was staying up late so did not intend to talk as much as she did now. Ava is like now, more like an automatic mode. As soon as he left, he would definitely go back to sleep soon.
“You are young, don't overtime too much overnight.” said Mr. Wild.
Ava who was still focused on her computer could only nod again without turning around to stare. After the process of copying the file reached 100%, Ava revoked the flash and gave it to Mr. Wilds.
In exchange for the Flash, Mr. Wild gave her a rather thick envelope and gave it to Ava. “There is a rather sudden additional work. Actually I did not intend to accept this job, but because the director of this drama begged for a few days, so I was forced to accept it for you to see.”
Ava pulled the brown envelope in front of her and opened it. Stack a rather thick paper with the title ‘Stranger to Love’.
“5 minutes.” Ava said slowly then started reading the storyline of this drama to better understand.
Mr. Wild did not comment much and quietly waited for Ava to finish her reading. He knew that Ava rarely received songs for the soundtrack of a drama and that if she did receive soundtrack work, it was usually a very good one. With the support of the soundtrack from Ava, of course, the popularity of a drama will jump immediately. Therefore, many directors hope, Ava can write songs for the soundtrack of their drama.
Ava read the beginning of the story and jumped straight to the end, this way, she could judge the quality of a drama more quickly. At the beginning of his career, he had to start from reading all the stories to be able to decide but now with the increasing number of dramas, he can immediately know the story by reading the beginning and end of the story.
As soon as she finished reading, Ava placed the script on the table and her hand immediately held the mouse while clicking a few times.
“I have the right song for this drama.” Ava said slowly telling Mr. Wilds.
One of Mr.'s eyebrows. Wild lifted up then handed back the flash in his hand with a small smile. It was fortunate for this director to get a song from Ava this time.
