Handle it

Yesterday was like a hell for me. Well, ironically I am living in hell so it says the uncanny similarities between it. Even so the hell I am living today is a place where I could apply my colour to it without any hesitation. It's bold... Like a paint. It satisfies me.

Ngunit malaman ang situwasiyon ni Chaeyoung ngayon ay ibang usapan na. Parang akong nasa gitna ng dagat at nakasakay sa maliit na bangka. Naghihintay sa pagtakbo ng oras o kung paano uukitin ng tadhana ang nakasulat sa aklat. Nakakabahala pero wala ka naman magagawa. It made me feel useless.

Naghihintay ako sa labas ng kanyang kuwarto. I wasn't allowed to get inside for the obvious reason and I respect it. Hanggang labas lang ng kanyang kuwarto ang hangganan ko. Ngunit kahit na hindi naman kailangan, TJ and Yam always gave me an updates about her condition. Still, they didn't told me what happened to her.

Ang alam ko lang ay kinailangan niya ng private operation galing mismo sa kanyang private doctor, the rest ay wala na akong alam. Palaisipan pa rin sa akin ang nangyari sa kanya kahapon ngunit mas nangingibabaw pa rin ang pag-alala ko tungkol sa kalagayan niya. Even so TJ and Yam assured to me that she is getting fine. Knowing it, at least, made my thoughts would place in peace.

Bigla ako napatigil sa isang painting na katabi lang sa pintuan ng kuwarto ni Chaeyoung. It looks like a family Portrait but I couldn't see their faces becuse it was ruined by, well, a red paint that was I think intentionally painted. Maliban na lang sa isang mukha na nakita ko at alam ko kung sino iyun, si Chaeyoung. Nagtataka ako kung bakit may mga pulang pinta sa mukha ng mga kasama niya sa portrait. Who would do it?

"It was Chaeyoung."

Agad akong lumingon sa lugar kung saan ko  narinig iyun. Coincidentally, it was Yam who answered me. I was a bit confused at first because I couldn't guess her point exactly. Did she hear me my thoughts or she meant something  else?

Tipid akong ngumiti sa kanya bilang pagbati. Mabilis naman siya tumabi sa akin at sabay na pinagmasdan ang painting. I took my eyes away from her and returned my attention to the painting.

"What do you mean?"I asked.

She crossed her arms. "I mean to say that it was Chaeyoung who painted this."

To my surprise, my jaw dropped. Mabilis akong lumingon sa kanya para makasiguro na tama ang narinig ko. And I was right,  by looking at her expression, she's not trying to play tricks again at me. Yam only smiled as if she was proud to inform me about it.

If I were her, I would also feel the same.

Chaeyoung is really something. I never thought that she could be this creative. That would create a masterpiece meticulously. Not because of the red paint, the painting must end up aesthetically. I like how she considered the details and the shadings, she didn't miss a bit of it. It looks like she put all of her effort by connecting with her soul through all the time.
