The Taste of Art (Squad Series 01)

Chapter 20-I'm finally Soaring H!gh

It was my day off, so before I go to Prague.I will clean my unit and Andrew's unit.I started to clean his unit.Nothing has really change, wala rin naman akong ginalaw the room is still the same.Unlike mine, yung art room ko halos mapupuno ko na. I decorated ny unit, kung trip trip ko lang.

I was wiping the the kitchen cupboard cabinet  on Andrew's unit nang tumunog yung notification sa phone ko. I looked at it, an email from the limvation. Buti nalang taaga at sakin na diniretso.

Subject: ArtWork Unit

  Hi ate! Free po ako ngayon, saang building and unit number po?

Punyemas naman oh, kung kailan nag lilinis.Kung kaialn day off.Talagang ayaw ako patakasin pag nasa opisina ako eh.

I replied to her the building and unit number. Kaya pumunta na aagd ako sa banyo para maligo, nakakapunyemas tong si Lia. KUng san san susulpot.

Kalalabas ko lang ng banyo, narinig ko na ang door bell. I was expecting a parcel, dahil may inorder ako na winter coat ang sabi  within this day daw eh. Pero si Lia ang nasa harap ko ngayon.

"Uh.. pasok" Sabi ko, at pinapasok siya at sinara ang pinto. Hindi naman ganon ka kalat ang unit ko pero nakakahiya pa rin, dahil hindi pa ako ayos. Yung tuwalya, nasa buhok ko pa. 

"Wait, five minutes" I said, at tumakbo na sa kwarto ko, nag blower agad, and applied minimal make up.Punyemas naman kase Lia eh, wednesday pa lang nandito ka na agad.

"Let's begin?" I asked, and she nod, sinundan niya ako patungo sa art room ko.Mapupuno na ang mga ding ding ng mga artwork ko, some were because of boredness, yung iba mga project or pang competition sa school.

"You did all of these?" She asked while she's looking all over my painting

I smile, yung tatlo hindi sakin, galing sa mapapangasawa mo

Umupo ako sa sofa na binili ko last month lang, habang si lia tumitingin tingin pa rin.

"When ka ka ya" She said

"Huh?" I asked her,and stood up

"This looks pretty hard" She said and point at mona lisa

"Hindi naman, practice lang" I said

"I always practice but I always ended up with the wrong face" Malungkot niyang sabi

"Magaling ka naman eh, and you have a room for improvement" Pag e-encourage ko, dahil base sa painting na nakita ko sakaniya, sobrang ganda at parang wala lang yon sakaniya.

"When did you do this?" She asked. talagang interesado siya sa mga portrait.

"During third year college, sinali ako ng professor namin sa isang competition non. Kala ko nga nawala yan eh" I said and smiled, remember the days na iniyakan ko pa yan dahil kala ko nawala yun pala nakalimutan lang ni prof sa Principal's office

"This one" She said and pointed at the painting I made right after Andrew left.

It's an abstract one, dahil sobrang umiyak ako non, sobrang gumulo din buhay ko. Kaya ang gulo ng painting na nagawa ko, but it also show how life is. How my life was, but I have this dream. So I need to move forward. Not all people could see that in this painting

"Bakit yan?" I asked

"It's a rough road, with a bright side" She simply said and looked at the painting

"Okay" I cherish this painting too much, and I am even willing to give. Maybe it's time to let go of the things I needed to let go. 

"Don't worry sa office ko lang naman" She said and smile
