"Red is everything" the tittle of the painting. Painted by Davin Red Espina, now I know where the tittle came from. The painting has one red heart connected with a drop of blood below the left side of it, making it look like one object, with a grey slightly messy painted background. I started to read the description below the frame.
"Red means heart, red means blood, Red means life, Red means death, Red is everything" I just started but it's already mind blowing. It's not just a painting, it's like a poetry, a meaningful one. I continued reading.
"This painting represents the connection of red to the —"
"three most powerful things on earth, which is death, life and love" I was cut off by an angelic but masculine voice behind me. I look behind then I saw a man with glasses but his dark sparkling eyes are still showing off. Parang tumigil ang mundo nang magtama ang aming mga mata. Tahimik sa loob ng art gallery pero mas lalong tumahimik ang lahat sa tainga ko at ang tanging naririnig lang ay ang malakas na tibok ng aking puso.
Pinag masdan ko ang kabuuan nya. He was innocently smiling, he looks so pure and soft with his fair white skin. He has a great body, especially his chest and biceps. He's wearing a red plain polo in sangria shade that looks fitted on him, he also has a bow tie and black pants. Black hair neatly brushed, pair of black formal shoes, silver watch and both hands inside his pocket.
"For red signifies happiness in birthdays but death everytime someone loses blood. For red signifies horror in November but romance in Valentine's Day" he said while looking at me "They say love is the most powerful thing on Earth, they say red is the most powerful color. Therefore, red connects in anything, red controls everything. Red is everything" he continued speaking and yes, his angelic smile is still there
"Do you like it?" nagising ang diwa ko sa tanong nya.
"Ah uhm w-what?" napakurap pa ako ng mata para mag process sa utak ko ang situation namin ngayon.
I was just staring at a beautiful painting in front of me then a beautiful man behind me started a conversation with me.
Okay okay that's the situation
"Do you like the painting?" he asked again
Tumalikod ako sakanya para humarap sa painting "Y-yeah it's beautiful haha" dumbass girl bakit ako nauutal tapos ang awkward pa tumawa.
"How about the description?" he asked again looking at the painting
"I haven't finished it yet, c-cause you came" I answered
He chuckled "I literally discussed it to you"
"You mean what you said earlier is the whole description?" I asked then binasa ko yung nakasulat, yeah that's what he's saying a while ago. "Wow you memorized it?" I looked at him
"Of course I made it" nakangiti nyang sagot
"W-wait you're..."
Humarap sya sa akin at inilahad ang kamay nya "Davin Red Espina, just call me Red" pagpapakilala nya, tinanggap ko iyon.
His hand is so soft!
"Sunshine Joy Corazon, Sunshine nalang" feel ko pulang pula na ang pisngi ko, kabahan kana kamatis
"Nice to meet you Sunshine" nakangiti nyang sabi
"N-nice to meet you too Red" bati ko rin
"So what can you say about the painting?" he asked again
I took a deep breath para alisin ang awkwardness sa katawan ko "It's like a combination of colors and words, a poetry inside a painting, it's fascinating and meaningful" I commented while staring at the painting
"Thank you" I heard him spoke
"No, thank you for this art., it's unique" I said looking at him, smiling
"Red is not that unique. I'm glad you liked it" he insisted
"Yes but you gave a meaningful description for it, that's what made it special and unique" I explained
"Are you with someone?" he asked
"I'm alone"
"Why?"
I took a deep breath "Non of my friends like art"
"So you don't have anyone to talk about arts?"
"Kinda, so imbis na isama sila dito at makitang bored lang, pumunta nalang akong mag isa"
"Well you have one right now"
"Ano?"
"Art buddy" mas lalong lumawak ang ngiti nya yung tipong pwede akong mahulog
"H-ha?" I asked
"I can be that someone whom you can talk about art" sagot nya
"We don't even know each other" I slighty laugh, I hope it doesn't sound awkward
"Would you like to have a coffee with me?" tanong nya bigla
I'll be having a coffee date with a stranger? It's normal right?
"Y-yeah sure"
"Let's talk about art and paintings" he said as he offered his hand to me. Tinanggap ko yun, nanginginig pa.
