Conquer Your Fear

AT SCHOOL, Elvin is studying in his classroom. The classroom is empty, and all the students are going outside and playing. Only he was alone in the classroom. After done studying, he goes out of the classroom and sees Melisa waiting for him in front of the classroom door.

“Elvin, what are you doing in the classroom by yourself?” She speaks.

“Oh, I was studying about history.” I speak.

Suddenly, Rein approaching to both

“Elvin, are you studying alone again?” He speaks.

I nod and Rein feel worried about me

“Elvin, you must learn to hang out with other people. You can’t just be like this, always alone. I feel worried about your condition.” He says with a worried face.

Melisa agrees what Rein say

“Rein was right, you can’t just be alone forever.” She says with a worried face.

Elvin silent for a moment and speak

“I know, it’s just I’m just afraid, that’s all.” I say with moody face.

Rein and Melisa try their best to comfort me. But My feeling is not affected by their words. I don’t know why. I hope that their words can affect my feelings.

Gepard approached them with his friends. He looks at me with a worried face.

“Hey Elvin, What’s matter? You look moody.” He says still worry on his face.

“Nothing, I’m fine.” I try to smile.

Gepard noticed this and started to speak.

“Elvin, no need to hide your feelings. You can tell us what’s wrong, We’re here for you.” He says as he tries to comfort him.

After a few minutes, I let my feelings out. I cry because of the pain, the suffering, the torture that l has been through. Gepard hugged me, he knows that I need it. Rein, Melisa, and Gepard friends also helped me to feel more comfortable. After a few hours, I started to calm down. I thank them for helping me calm myself. They are happy to help me. Until l realized……

“Oh, I just realized…” I speak.

I point my finger to Gepard friends

“Is that your friends?” I ask.

Gepard look to his friends and look back at me and he speak

“Yes, He’s, my friend. Elvin, meet Adrian.” He speaks.

Adrian nods his head

“Nice to meet you, Adrian. My Name’s Elvin.” I introduce to him.

We started walking back to class. But we see a group of students standing infront of wall magazine.

“What’s going on over there?” I ask.

“I’ll go see what’s it. You guys can go to your classroom. I will catch up.” Melisa says and starts walking to a bunch of students.

We nod and go to our classroom. After a fews minute, Melisa enters the classroom.

“I look at the wall magazine, it’s look like there’s a music contest.” She speaks.

They’re very interesting

“Do you guys want to take part of the contest?” She asked us.

“Sure, I want to take part of the music contest.” Gepard says.

Rein and Adrian agree with Gepard

“Do you want to take part of the contest, Elvin?” Melisa asks me.

“I…… Uh…… well……” I can’t speak properly.

They’re look at me

“Elvin? Are you alright? Is Something wrong?” Melisa says with a worried face.

“I’m have stage fright” I say, and I feel anxiety.

They were shocked because I have never said that before.

“Elvin, if you don’t want to take part in the contest, then it’s okey. We didn’t force you.” Rein speaks with a calming voice.

It’s been so long since Elvin had stage fright, he never conquers his fear. Until today, he wants to face his fears.

“I…… want to be a part of the contest.” I say, but still feel anxiety.

His friends are still not sure about me going to be a part of the contest. They are afraid something bad will happen.

“Elvin, are you sure about this?” Rein asks.

“We kind of worry about you. We don’t want anything bad happen to you.” Gepard says with a worried face.

Elvin knows he feels anxiety. But he wants to face his fears

“I’m sure I’ll be fine. Trust me!” I speak.

They are still not sure about his answer. Gepard, Melisa, and Adrian still worry about him. But Rein thinks for a moment. After a few minutes, Rein thinks it’s time for Elvin to face his fears.

“Okey, I trust you.” Rein says.

Gepard, Melisa, and Adrian were shocked by what Rein said.

“Rein, are you sure about this?” Gepard says.

“Elvin needs to face his fears, he has stage fright for a very long time. It’s time for him to conquer his fears.” Rein says.

After few minutes, they trust Rein decision

“Okey then, Elvin will be a part of the contest.” Gepard says.

Finally, Elvin joins the contest. They practice almost a few weeks until the contest has arrived. All the students who join the contest are ready to show their talents. After a few minutes, the music contest began. All the students try their best until it’s Elvin turn.

He walks to the middle of the stage. He was about to sing but he felt anxious. He starts shaking. Everyone was looking at him and felt worried. After a few hours, he calls himself and starts to sing. Everyone is shocked when they see him sing. His voice is amazing, everyone becomes speechless and listens to him sing. Melisa, Gepard, and Adrian are shocked to hear my voice. They never heard Elvin sing before but, they’re happy he faces his fears. Rein smiled to see Elvin finally conquer his fears.

After Elvin finished singing, everyone clapped their hands. Elvin finally faces his fears, and he smiles. When he was about to leave the stage, His friends enter the stage.

“We’re gonna perform you guys a song that we wrote.” Gepard says.

Elvin looks confused for a moment and realizes.

*He gets flashback*

Before the contest, Gepard, Rein, Melisa, Adrian, and Elvin are in the classroom. They practice their music skills after school is over. We ask the teacher for permission to practice their skills inside the school. The teacher gave us permission.

Melisa, Gepard, and Adrian start practice. Gepard practices his guitar, Adrian practices his piano, and Melisa starts singing as the instruments play. Elvin feels anxious about doing this, but he still wants to perform. He tries to sing but he can’t. He is afraid that everyone will say his voice is bad. They notice Elvin has difficulty singing.

“Elvin, are you alright?” Melisa says.

“Is something wrong?” Gepard says.

“I’m…… alright.” I speak.

They didn’t believe what Elvin said. He is shaking.

“Elvin, what’s wrong?” Rein says.

“You can tell us, we are here.” Melisa says.

Elvin was still anxious and started to speak.

“I’m scared I make mistake.” I speak.

“Don’t be scared to make mistake, you can fix your mistake by learning.” Melisa says as she tries to help you.

“I know but, still……” I didn’t finish my sentence.

Gepard approach to him and hug him

“It’s going to be alright; I know it.” Gepard says while still hugging him.

Elvin hugged him back; He felt more comfortable and released from the hug.

“Thank for the hug.” I speak.

Gepard nod his head

Suddenly Gepard gave something to him, it’s a music note that Melisa, Adrian, Rein, and himself wrote it.

“If you conquer your fears, we want you to sing it.” He says and smiles.

Elvin nod and they continue practice

*End of flashback*

Elvin back to reality, look at them and nod his head

They smile and they start playing a song that they wrote. The music is beautiful, and everyone starts to follow the beats.

After a few hours, they’re finish playing. Everyone is cheering for them. Elvin feels happy that he conquers his fear, they are happy to see him happy. After that, they bow and leave the stage. They are feeling relief to leave the stage.

“Finally, we’re done.” Gepard says.

“Today was a very exciting and tiring day” Melisa says.

“I agree with you, Melisa.” I speak.

Rein looks at me, he looks happy

“Elvin, I’m glad you have faced your fears. I’m so proud of you.” Rein says.

Rein pat me on my shoulder, he proud of me. I thank him for always being by my side, and so as my friends. After that, the music contest is over. Everyone starts leaving their seat and walks away.

He saw a man with dark purple hair with red eyes. Elvin looks at him and realizes he has a lot of wounds, and he is hurt. Elvin let the man go inside his house and sit on the couch.

Even though he is hurt, he feels relief that Elvin helps him. After the wound has been treated, Elvin bandages the wounds. The man appreciates Elvin’s help, and he smile.

“Thank for helping me.” The man says.

“No problem, sir.” I speak.

“By the way, what’s your name, sir?” I asked with a curious face.

“My name’s Zhask.” He speaks.
