Is that Your Brother?

As Nathan was in deep sleep, his post was buzzing. Every minute, someone new would watch it and be amazed by his voice.

At the hospital.

Thraia was fixing up the dinner when Neo called for her. "What is it?" she stopped.

"Nathan doesn't know how to sing right?" Neo asked her mother as he was fixated on his phone.

Thraia was bewildered from his question, she replied," Not that I remember, he likes to listen to music but to actually sing, I've never heard him. Why do you ask?"

"Look at this," He called for his mother to come closer and showed her his phone.

Thraia doesn't know where Neo was going with this conversation but she checked his phone nonetheless.

"A post from your brother?" Thraia was puzzled, Nathan never used his social account for anything other than messaging and calling someone, this was a first.

"Have you watched it yet?" Thraia asked as Neo shook his head.

"Wait! Is he using my ring stand?" She looked at Neo who shrugged. It was better if he was left out of this matter.

Thraia murmured that Nathan will have a taste of the belt after a couple of years. Neo silently prayed for Nathan.

Despite talking with herself, Thraia clicked the video so she and Neo could watch it.

A song played, Thraia asks what's the name of the song.

"It's titled A Bliss of Tomorrow's Kiss, it's the most popular song in the country right now, I think you have heard of it before." Neo answered.

"Yes, I think I heard it somewhere. Anyway, let's listen to your brother." Thraia shushed her son.

Neo was stunned, it was his mother that asked and she's making it look like he was the one wrong. He sighed, there was no use in getting mad.

Nathan's singing started; his singing baffled his family. They were too stunned to speak, they listened to the song until the end.

"Was that really your brother?" Thraia couldn't believe it.

"I think so, if that's not made by artificial intelligence, then it's most likely him" Neo affirmed.

Nathan does not just know how to sing; he can sing amazingly. His voice was so magnificent that Thraia wondered how she didn't know the talent of her son.

Nathan was really quiet when he was a kid and always accompanied his father that has now disappeared.

Nathan didn't show any signs of passion for singing, heck, even just passion for anything was not seen in him. It was like every day was just a fleeting time needed to be passed by.

"He's a really good mom, how come you didn't know any of this? You're the parent." Neo questions his mother jokingly.

"It's because I have sons who keep secrets from me, especially you, if your brother did not tell me I wouldn't have known that you're hospitalized and you were part of a gang." Thraia harrumphed as he twisted the ears of Neo.

"Stop! Stop! I know, I know, I already apologize for that." Neo pleaded.

Thraia let go of her grip and passed Neo's phone back to him. Neo sighed in relief.

"Call your brother and ask about that post, and also tell him that he'll be in big trouble if he uses my things."

Neo obliged and called Nathan's number, but the latter did not answer.

He tried a few more times, but it was left unanswered.

"What is that kid doing that he can't even answer his phone?" Thraia was pissed.

"Never mind that then, let's just eat first." Thraia went back to handling their food.

At a meeting room.

"Do you have the full list of the people who want to join our company?" A woman asked in front.

"Yes, we do have met the quota and we'll be able to enforce the screening for them, we just need the confirmation of the higher ups and also a few judges." A man who sat in the meeting room answered.

The woman nodded at his answer.

They were just a medium-size talent searching company, so they need people who want to be contracted to them, one who has the talent to take their company to new heights.

The company knew that a single recruit wouldn't be able to help them so they were hoping that a few talents would show up and boost their image, that in turn is a free publicity to recruit other talented people.

The company specializes in training actors and dancers so the panel was lacking a judge for singing which they plan to focus on right now.

They have invited a special guest for the screening, to be exact there was a board member who knew the singer personally and asked if that person wanted to become a panelist. She already said yes and now the company is waiting for their agency to sign the agreement for formality.

"Do you think we'll have any problem inviting her?" The woman in front asked the man next to her. He was the one who personally invited the said singer.

"She had already assured me that there will be no problems on her agency's end." The man assured her.

With that the woman heaved a sigh of relief. The higher ups have been pressuring her on the condition of recruits and wondered why there still no singers in their company.

She couldn't just answer bluntly and say that they had already built an image that they mainly help actors and dancers so most singers go to larger companies despite having a laxer contract.

Since they are in need of singers, they have lowered down the limitation on the singer's side, what they need now is publicity. Once a singer is out to the public in their name, they can now slowly change the contract each time they renew.

"The large companies have the monopoly of the singers except the lone singers who prefer to have no affiliation attached to their name. I hope we can grab a few talents in the next screening. We invited the singer-songwriter of 'A Bliss of Tomorrow's Kiss,' it would be a let down if we don't get any promising recruits." The woman stated.

"Work your butts off in the spreading of information for the screening so more people will try their luck." She announced.
