Chapter 40

"I wanna buy that painting! It reminds me of you! I mean, that painting really looks like you. It seems like he really painted it for you." Myt happily said while looking at the painting.

I was so busy staring at that painting that I couldn't even put my gaze away from it. I was too astonished. I couldn't breathe properly because of this unique feeling I am having right now.

I feel like I want to cry while staring at it. It feels like I was staring at the mirror. Every detail of this painting didn't miss every detail on my face.

"I will really buy it, no matter even if it costs a million yen." Myt continued.

Just… why?

Why did he bother to paint me and decide to put it in a museum? And right here in a Japanese museum?

Nananadya ba siya?

Dahil alam niyang nandito ako… kaya dito niya pinili ang lugar na paglalagyan ng painting niya?

I don't know if I'm going to get mad or not, but I will just think that this was all a purely coincidence, because if it's not… then I will literally sue him.

Sue him for what?

For painting me without my permission?

But I'm an actress, and it's normal for me to receive a painting or a drawing of myself, pero ang kaibahan nito… he showed it here in a famous museum.

I sighed heavily. At para saan pa kung gagawin ko iyon? Edi makikita ko na naman siya ulit?

Umirap na lang ako sa kawalan at hinigit na si Myt papunta sa iba pang paintings pero hindi ko siya mahigit dahil nakatuon pa rin ang atensyon niya roon.

"Myt, let's look for another painting." sabi ko sa kanya.

"I will buy this painting. I want to meet the owner of this masterpiece." 

Umiling ako. "Let's go, Myt. Balikan na lang natin 'yan."

"No, gusto ko painting na ito."

Mahina akong natawa. Nakakatawa talaga si Myt sa tuwing nagtatagalog siya. I like that he's really trying his best para lang masabayan niya ako.

"I'm scared that other people will buy it if we're not buying it now." sabi ni Myt.

"Hmm, ibang painting na lang kaya? I don't like that one."

Liar.

The moment I put my gaze on that painting, I admit that I was so mesmerised because it feels like it was really me— but in a painting version.

"You don't like this one? Impossible. This painting was literally the best painting I've ever seen before."

I sighed. "Fine. Buy it if you want."

"Are you mad? Then I'm not going to buy it anymore." Myt looks sad kaya agad akong na-guilty.

"No, I'm not. Buy it if you really want it." I smiled at him to assure him.

"But before I could buy this… I'm going to meet the owner of this painting. Is it okay with you?"

I nodded. "Sure, Myt. Whatever you want."

He smiled. "Thank you, Ocean! You're really the best!"

Niyakap niya ako kaya mahina akong natawa sa kanya. Agad na tinawag ni Myt ang organizer ng exhibit na ito para tanungin kung magkanong yen ang magagastos sa painting na ito.
