The Whispers of Something Familiar

all the way back

Using a brush with soft bristle, Luntian made final strokes on Mr. Ruiz's misty forest background. Dinagdagan niya ng kaunti pang detalye ang mga nagtataasang puno na napapalibutan ng hamog.

Halos inabot din ng tatlong araw ang pagpipinta niya sa pader ng Ginoo. Sa buong araw na iyon ay walang ginawa ang huli kundi pagmasdan ang bawat galaw ni Luntian.

Amadea stayed by her side. Kapag may tanong ang Ginoo ay siya ang sumasagot. Despite of not knowing Luntian's vision for the painting, tila nakuha niya na agad ang imahe bago pa matapos ang pagpipinta.

"It seemed so real, I feel like I was there walking on a trail and I might vanished into the cloak of mist anytime. It felt like I was floating." Mr. Ruiz commented with an amused smile.

"Indeed Sir." Segunda ni Amadea.

"The grayish white mist also highlighted the green leaves of the tall bamboo which served as a guide not just on trails but also on how it could almost reached the clouds,"

Napasulyap ito kay Luntian na ngayon ay kakatapos lang pintahan ang huling detalye.

"...somehow telling us that we weren't that far from what was above us. It was like the land and the sky were holding hands even for a short period of time despite of its real distance."

Lumapad ang ngiti ni Luntian habang nakatingin kay Amadea na tila pinapahiwatig na tama ang interpretasyon niya. Amadea also shared a smile knowing that her choice of words just came out naturally as if they were all well thought of.

"Amazing... I like it." Sumulyap si Mr. Ruiz kay Luntian. "You did a great job."

The latter just nodded her head. Tila may hiya pang kasama ang ngiti nito.

"Kapag nagkaroon ka ng Art Exhibit, just count me in. Siguradong pupunta ako."

"Thank you, Mr. Ruiz." Si Amadea na ang nagsalita para kay Lian.

It was another job well done for the both of them. Nitong mga nakaraang araw ay tila magaan sa pakiramdam ang trabaho at maganda rin ang kinalalabasan ng proyekto. Sa positibong mga mensahe palang ng kliyente ay isang malaking bagay na ito para kay Amadea.

Some of their clients also recommended their services. Paniguradong hindi sila mawawalan ng proyekto ngayong taon dahil sa dami ng gustong magpagawa - mapa-commercial man, residential, o house renovations.

Hindi lang ito ang magandang naidulot simula noong nakilala niya si Luntian. Naging aktibo muli si Amadea sa photography at kamakailan lang ay bumili ito ng camera at mahahabang lens.

"Look..." Pinakita nito kay Luntian ang kuha niya sa mga batang naghahabulan.

She brought the latter at Madrigal park playground after they took a visit on one of their projects in Ayala Alabang Village.

Maganda...

Ang galing mo Amadea :)
