He Loves Red (A short story)

Chapter 2: Art Exhibit

Love is a strong emotion we feel towards someone

Trust is the most important foundation between people

Love and trust, two things that reflects each other.

Do I love him? Yes. Do I trust him? Yes.

I trust him without hearing his whole life, I gave him my heart within the short period of time.

Maybe Princess Anna was right after all.

Everything is possible, as long as it's true love

That happened yesterday. That date, confession, making love scene or whatever you wanna call it.

Hanggang ngayon hindi ako makapaniwala, my love at first sight confessed his love to me. Nagmahal na din naman ako dati, pero di ko masyadong sineseryoso. This is different and I don't know why.

Inaayos ko ang mga gamit sa bag nang magsalita si Melody

"Your wallpaper is new" sabi nya. Nang nilingon ko sya ay nakatingin sya sa phone ko na nasa desk

"Yeah before it's a sunflower painting right? Now it's a red rose" nakangiti kong sagot

"Why?" she asked

"Sunflower signifies happiness, but now it's red rose that signifies that for me" I answered

"Because of Red? Like your Red, Red?" nakangiwi nyang tanong

"Yes!" buong ngiti kong sagot

"Tsk ang baduy" sabi nya

"Alam mo ikaw, you're such a nerdy but how come you don't like arts? I means most nerds like arts you know" sabi ko

"Kase maraming kaartehan ang arts nayan kaya ayaw ko. Look at you, kahit wallpaper mo may meaning" tinarayan nya ako

"Cause that's the purpose of art, to give meaning in everything" I answered

"Ayan mismo ang tinutukoy ko, tsk art nerd" pagtataray nya. Isinabit na nya ang bag at nagsimula nang maglakad

"Hoy Melody wait!" sigaw ko

"Do you wanna eat somewhere?" tanong ni Melody nang masabayan kona ang paglalakad nya palabas ng gate

"Sure! Let's go!" I answered

Pagkalabas namin para maghintay ng jeep, I pulled out my phone to text Red.

"Are you sure you can go?" tanong uli ni Melody

"Yeah" sabi ko naman while typing a text

"But this guy right here is saying you have other business to do" she said

Tinignan ko sya ng nakakunot ang noo and she was on her blank face while looking into something from a distance, so tumingin din ako don.

Mula sa pagkakakunot ng noo ko, unti unting sumibol ang ngiti sa aking mga mata at labi. There, I saw the man I love. With his usual red shirt, black eyeglasses, standing beside his car. But now, he has a bouquet of red roses while staring at me with the most angelic face.

I walk towards him and everything seemed to disappear. It's like I can't see anything but this living art dressed as a man. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko at di ko to magawang patigilin, tulad nalang ng nararamdaman ko para sa kanya.

"Hello Sunshine" he greeted me sweetly. I don't know if it supposed to be sweet in the ears, but that's how it affects me.

"Hi Red" I responded keeping my eyes on his while smiling
