-The Portrait-
Third Person's Point Of View
A white van stopped infront of a grayish tall gate and the gate starts to open slowly, giving them the sight of the most beautiful garden they have ever seen. The van started to enter and was stopped by a guard who you really can't tell as a guard because of his very formal attire. "Good evening visitors, may I do the honor to park your vehicle inside of the parking lot so you can already make your way inside the building?" The man politely asked. Everyone inside the van stepped out. The driver curiously looked around before speaking, "I don't see any parking lot." She said coldly. "Oh my apologies madam, what I meant to say was the underground parking lot." The man apologized and slightly bowed. "Ohh" That's all that came out from their mouth.
The driver nodded and handed him the keys as they started to make their way inside the place. Not long, they saw a tall masculine figure walking towards them holding his removed coat on his right hand. All of them recognized the man but only one person ran towards him. "Love!!!" The woman running shouted and quickly hugged the man. "Hello lovely, I've missed you." The man calmly stated and returned the hug. "Ugh guys can we just go? Baka umatras gutom ko sa dalawang 'to." Her best friend said and playfully rolled her eyes. "Inggit kalang Zean, tara na nga." The woman said and dragged her man. They all followed, but their eyes are focused on a very tall building infront of them with a very elegant design and beautiful lightning.
Pagkarating nila sa harap ng isang bukas na pintuan, a blonde, tall, short haired woman welcomed them. "Hello everyone, we should proceed inside, she's already waiting. " The woman said and smiled warmly gesturing them to enter. "Alex!!" "Xandra!!" The two best friends called the woman's name and that gathered everyone's attention. The two hug the woman and the woman did the same. "You know her?" Tanong ni Gabrielle. "They knew her so well." A british accent appeared out of nowhere. Lahat sila ay napatingin sa direksyon kung saan nanggaling ang boses and there she is, wearing a fitted black dress with her hair freely lying on the top of her chest. Nakatayo ito sa tabi ng pintuan suot ang kanyang walang ekspresyong mukha at malamig na mga matang nakatitig sa kanila.
"Oh there she is." Ani ni May at itinuon ang atensyon sa nakatayong dalaga. "The one and only." Dagdag pa ni Decyri. Itinuro ng dalaga ang babaeng naka kulong parin sa bisig ng dalawa n'yang kaibigan. "She's Alexandra Rain Mendoza, my personal assistant." Pagpapakilala nito. "And can you please let go of her? It's suffocating." She coldly commanded the two. Ang pinakilalang babae ay bahagyang yumuko at ngumiti.
"Tara na?" Aya nito sa lahat. Ngumiti pabalik sakan'ya ang mga ito at tuluyan nang pumasok.
As soon as they entered, they were all amazed by everything inside the place. Their eyes roamed around, sparkling with amazement. But a big portrait hanging on the wall caught their attention. The portrait's length was 173 centimeters and approximately 5 feet 8.11 inches tall with the width of 3 feet wide. It is a portrait of a woman wearing a white silk robe with a bloody face and eyes covered with a red piece of clothing. Although at first glance, it may look like a terrifying view, but for a real artist, it's really a rare and extraordinary artwork.
"Lee, anong meaning nito?" Marthena asked out of confusion. "It's a portrait of hidden justice." Navada answered for Lee as if she's expecting Navada to answer for her by the looks that she's giving the other woman. "Eh? How did you know?" Now, it's Khryzelle's turn to ask.
"Of course she would know. She's the one who painted it." Yeri answered for her sister. Shock was visible on everyone's face, well except from Lee, Yeri, Zean, and Alexandra who knows about it. Why shock? Because none of them knew that their cold leader can paint, and not just paint, she's an incredible artist. "What? How?" Michael asked.
