Meeting The Sultana [Prt.1 COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 9

I looked at her intently and tried to understand our situation right now. I was just unlucky because I couldn’t see her face.

"I love colors, هل تحتاج حقًا إلى طرح هذا السؤال يا سيد. فيديريكو؟ ألا يمكننا أن نبدأ فقط؟ Mr. Ferderico? ?". She asked, only I love colors I understood what she said to me so I shook my head

"Excuse me?".

"You don't understand Arabic? It's just weird because you're an Arab but you don't know how to understand the Arabic Language". She playfully said.

I bit my thumb finger.

"Sorry Sultana Aleziana but I'm not an Arab, I just look like an Arab but I'm not from here nor do I know the words you mentioned earlier.". I replied. She approached and leaned her hand on the table.

"Oh, they said don't judge the book by its cover but I judged you without knowing about you. But anyway, I have documents about you Mr. Ferderico, for my safety and for me to know what kind of person you are ". She stated. I swallowed and nodded because I had nothing to say.

"So you made the Everlasting soul?". She asked in an authoritative tone.

"I mean, did you painted the masterpiece Everlasting Soul?". She repeated the question.

I just nodded proudly.

"Yes. I thought you didn't know me? Why do you know one of my masterpieces Sultana?". I asked.

She laughed softly and even though that laugh was scary it still softened my heart. It was as if I wanted to approach her and kneel down just so she could laugh again.

Even though her laugh was full of sarcasm.

"Well, I don't really know you Mr. Ferderico. I just love your masterpieces. Your arts are so beautiful and I understand the messages conveyed of every color and curves. But even though I love and admire your masterpieces. I don't know you, believe me ". I shuddered because of what the Sultana said, was she sure? Is she serious about what she is saying?

"It's impossible Sultana Aleziana. My signatures are there and my arts are known all over the world. I can't believe you haven't heard my name among other artists". I said to the Sultana.

“I will be honest Mr. Ferderico, I don’t really know who made Everlasting soul, The mimit Bird, The phantom, Loving Lily, Elizabeth Marlice, Hermosa Valdesar, Wendeys Zoo, The great walls, The epics and my favorite of all The maiden in Hijab ". I just close my eyes when she mentions the paintings I made in the last 10 years.

I have received many awards because of those masterpieces, even I, cannot mention all of them without thinking but the Sultana in front of me said all of that without stopping.

"Wow, you know all my famous work Sultana, I'm glad to know". I softly said.

"Yes, I know very well, because your famous works are my most favorite of all paintings. But don't get too excited Mr. Ferderico, I only want your art and you as my mentor". She said.

I smiled secretly.

"But you said you have a signature there, yes you do have a signature on all those Paintings but you don't have a name. I just met you when Mr. Habriel recommended you to me. I searched your data and I found out that you are the painter of all my favorite paintings. And I'm really glad that Habriel sent you here without me knowing that you are the great painter. ". Sultana's long statement.

I just nodded and smiled.

"I'm happy to know that you liked my paintings Sultana Aleziana . If I only knew you liked them I would have given you the original copies". I stated.

"Don't worry. Back to your question Mr. Ferderico. I want to know how to paint because that's what I've been passionate about since I was a child, but I didn't have the opportunity to study and practice using a paintbrush because I was trapped inside of this kingdom. ". She says. Her voice is so beautiful and so soft that I admire her so much.

"I have a little knowledge of painting but I'm not as good as you. I just want my work to be good and I want to learn more about other strategies in paintings. Don't worry, I'm not hard to teach". She said. I just nodded and bit my thumb finger again.

"If that's the case Sultana Aleziana, I'm happy to guide you and share everything I know about art in just four days". I said happily.

"Well then Mr. Ferderico. I asked for four days break from the officers, so I am free to study without thinking about my duties as Sultana". She said.

"That's great Sultana Aleziana.".

"So, what will you teach me first Mr. Ferderico? As I said before, I don't want to waste time". Her statement was rude.

"Okay okay. But before we start Sultana, have you done any art? Since you started studying? Or do you have scratch papers with drawings you made?". I asked.

"There are only a few". She said.

"Can I see, if it's okay with you?". I asked.

“May I know first what is the reason why you want to see my works?”. She hesitated to ask.

"This is part of our study Sultana, don't worry, I won't judge your work, that's how it is when you're just starting out". I answered.

She stood up and approached a cabinet with gold designs. She opened the cabinet and took some painting pads and approached the table and there, she laid down the painting pads.

She returned to her seat and I stood up to pick up the painting pads and folder on the table.

I opened the first one, and only now have I seen neon art with passion and everything. Does she still need me to learn? I don't think so.

"This is what you did when you were 14 years old?". I asked all of sudden.

"Yes. I didn't know how to paint that time so please do not judge what you see on that pad". She said.

"No, it's great for a 14 years old artist.". I stated.

I looked at her and she was staring at the pad I was holding. I can't even see the direction of her eyes but her head is on the pad, so I just assume she's looking at the pad.

I moved to the next page and the content of the second page was a turkey with a nice combination of light colors, every lining and curves were neat, the color combination was nice, the art style she used fit. Does she really need a mentor?

These arts are very beautiful and I have nothing to say when it comes to what is the nature of an art.

"I did that when I was in the west. There were a lot of turkeys so I decided to draw them.". She said.

"Do you still need me here? I don't see anything wrong with your arts, they are amazing, wonderful and wow !? Are you kidding me Sultana Aleziana?". I asked but there was still respect.

"You don't understand. You're just at the beginning and you haven't seen the whole of them yet Mr. Ferderico don't judge right away because you're just at the beginning!". she said angrily.

I looked at her because of the tone of her voice, I think I offended her and I felt bad about it.

"I apologize My Sultana" .. I whispered.
