My Sister's Fiance

01 -- Years Away

Three years after.

Learning new passion, she held herself into new ventures, she wanted to taste life and enjoy it as far as possible, thus she indulge herself in photography. They said that life is filled with moments, and she wants those moments to be kept and treasured forever. At least, even those moments alone could live forever, even if man cannot.

"Hey!" Someone called behind her so she spun around and saw her friend Bianca, she was a curator and had featured her photo's into her gallery a few times already.

"Hey you!" She replied enthusiastically as she hugged and greeted her. "You look fantastic."

"You look not bad yourself either." She replied with a heartwarming laugh. "Its good to see you again."

"You too. ." Emme said smiling and a bit content to have a friend like Bianca. Her life has been fine lately. In her sister's steed is her mother's family and relatives. They were very supportive and caring and despite the fact that she lied from them from the very beginning, forgiveness was easily  given by them in the end. They said it was all in the past, they have abandoned them long time ago, its time to make amends. Besides they understand her after learning all the details.

Emme felt despite the tragedy that  she is truly blessed and that her sister might have been helping her all the way from heaven, still looking after her every moment of her life.

Right in front of the famous bay, a wooden art cottage was built. Inside it displays different private paintings and stuff, but the outside is a stark contrast, it was plain and unappealing, the wooden wall looks rusty and  had a dull color  of gray that looks old people usuallypass it by and treat it as a weird place amongst the beauty of the beach, but unless you have seen the soulfull painting inside only then would it pick your interest and awe.

However, a middle aged woman had took interest in the storedespite its appearance, she unceremoniously dragged his husband inside to fed her curiosity but to their astonishment the place were full of paintings. But the paintings were rather odd and unusual. Yes, they were beautiful and lovely, but they were usually colored in black, brown, grey, maroon and any dark colors. Though some had vibrant colors but still the silhouette paintings would really shout to gain your attention.

"their so beautiful." She commented as she reach for the painting. It displays a mixture of brown and black colours of the sunset, the sand was rhythmically still and lifeless, but the deep water sea reflects light and glint like a sea of tears, while the sun shone less making you think where that the sun had lost its brightness.

"But it's too sad." She commented again while putting her hand on her heart feeling the message of a broken life. The painting conveys an utter feeling of melancholy. The sun was setting like a lonely majestic piece. Its vibrance has become duller. Its beauty less than Before. Its life, slowly fading.

They scan through another piece of art, the place is a feast in the eyes, the  painting were haphazardly put like the painter have forgotten this magnificent pieces. Theres a lot of  story to tell with the art there's this white canvas with a maroon shade of a woman's half face crying. The other one is a lovely rose with its thorns surrounding its flowers making some glints of red and blood gushing out of it. The next one is a silhouette paint of a woman's face. Her long wavy hair hides almost half of her face but the light in her eyes and the smile she give is so beautiful that you would wonder why the contrast? Why was she cast in a shadow?

Viewing the whole place the couple were mesmerized by its beauty, both sad and torn with all the paintings. They just can't help but feel the beauty and life in the painter's eye. Then lastly two distinct and separated paintings were nailed high, it was a beautiful woman on her wedding dress, her laugh were so beautiful that you could almost imagine her sweet laugh ringing in your ears. Her eyes were shining brighter than anything else and her surrounding are just insignificant to look at. The painting was beyond beautiful and lively. The other one however portrays a different scene, the couple were looking at each other's eye while deeply leaning their heads together saying the unsaid words and promises of forever. They held hands and its undeniable that the silver-like glitters of the ring in their fingers shows that their life would start and end with each others arm.

The painting were unexceptionally beautiful and they want to buy it but the huge not for sale banner already told them not to waste the effort.

They already want to sulk for such a waste of potential and instead took another painting for themselves. Something painted with love too, a painting that the creator painted with fond memories. One of his cherry blossoms painting. He just painted the tree with distinct detail and finesse you could even matched it with life.

Meanwhile the painter was just in his usual place, at the top of his cottage where he had built a veranda over viewing the sun and its beauty. He smile as he drift away with fond memories of her swimming and with it idea came to his mind and he started to paint again, this time were like the odd times when he feel like using lively colours instead of dull one, then with a smile on his face and a tear in his heart he started to paint another memory.
