Art and Whisper

Arthur Vaughn

Love. I'm busy painting here near the beach, I only have two days to finish this art but I don't have inspiration. Kahit infatuation for the other sex... None.

I'm busy walking. But then suddenly a girl caught my eye. She's sad. I whisper in her ear.

"Fascinating view it is." I said. Then because of that day... It became my inspiration to draw her near the beach. Nakatalikod and wearing a Japanese white dress. Its embroidery seems familiar and because its a sakura. She seems sad looking at the sunset. I love sunset... Most of my artworks are sunsets. I wonder why she looks at it suddenly then few days pass and I'm getting addicted to her smell... She smells vintage, vanilla, orange and melon. With a faint of strawberry. Her warm smiles and actions caught me off guard.

"I hate sunsets... Dahil mismong sunset nailibing ang magulang ko. When I was 10 years of age. It was a nightmare dahil ang makakasama ko nalang ay ang sarili ko kahit meron naman talaga akong pamilya from my father and mother's side. I just can't seem to belong their. "She honestly said. Tinuro niya ang color paints, brushes and my other paintings and stuff.

" I hate art because of that it always remember me my bonding with them. The happy family I never knew will no longer last. "Yeah... I feel her.

" The world seems to hate me. You know. " Nah. Baby! The world seems to hate me because I hate the feeling when you're sad.

Naging mas malapit ako sa kanya and I kind of like everything on her. Spinning feelings of mine.!

"Bro! You have that smile again? Is there any beauty's in the Philippines? Who's the girl in your paintings? I bet she's pretty? Is she someone?" Pangungulit ni Jared. He's my older cousin and someone who I truly care because his the brother I didn't have. I have no siblings that's why I'm alone. But really... I'm happy because I have bunch of cousins from mother and father side.

"She's someone who I like." I see him wiggle his eyebrows while smiling so brotherly.

"Ahh... Like? Or something more than that." I laugh. Ridiculous! We just met. She's really one of my type but no way! I just met her for 5 days.

"Bro! It's really wholesome to have a family! Since you're already 28! My wife shouted... Lalagpas kana sa calendaryo! She's really waiting for your own moment, I mean we are." I chuckled at that. I envy him for settling so fast in life. He already has 3 sons and a little girl. While me? I'm just playing around. Catching those dreams of mine.

Iba talaga ang buhay nang tao. As anyone would say.

...

"Man! You fell hard! You painted her more than I thought. You can make your own gallery of all her portraits and more! Inlababo ang g*go!" Stork said to me. He's really at it again. Jokes and Curses.

My friends, family and relatives have been noticing my sudden change when I'm here in this beach. They've been telling me... I should show my feelings to that women. And I can't... No I don't know how.

"Art!" I hug my mom. I've missed her. She has been going to France as I expected it.

"Mom, I miss you." She's a fashion icon. From her age and from her younger age she's been onto dresses, fashion's, luxurious things, and more bags in her life. That I thought because if her business.. She always forgets about our bonding time... But then. She make lots of her appointments delay just to visit me here in the Philippines. Minsan nga ako pa ang ginagawa niyang model sa iba't ibang brands nang mga damit.

Women are always kind of something I couldn't understand. They're sometimes emotional and sometimes understanding and other times... I don't know... Like women.
