Bittersweet Summer

02: Art

I am frowning for the whole time while staring at the giant plain wall in front of us. Never in my life akong nainis ng ganito. Sa tingin ko ay puputok na ang ugat ko sa ulo.

"Mas maganda kung ang isla ang ipinta natin dito, Haliya." Pag-pipilit ni Gabriyel.

"For the ninth time, Gabriyel. Let's paint the sunset nga. Ang kulit mo naman. What are your basis to paint this island? Nakikita naman ng mata natin ah." I stated, disagreeing.

"Nakikita rin naman ang sunset, Haliya. Kahit saan tayo pumunta matatanaw at matatanaw natin ang paglubog ng araw pero hindi ang islang ito."

"Mas meaningful ang sunset, stop arguing with me, mister." Kalmado kong pangangatuwiran.

"Ano ang pinag-aawayan niyo diyan?" Napalingon kami nang marinig namin ang boses ni Lolo.

"Wala po, Lo. Sinasabi ko lang po sa Apo niyo na mas maganda kung ang isla ang ipipinta." Gabriyel explained.

"Nag-aaway kayo sa kung ano ang ipipinta ninyo? Aba ay mas mabuti pa kung pareho niyo munang pag isipan ng mabuti." Ani Lolo at umalis na.

Gosh. This guy is really testing my patience. I know that this is not my kind of art but i still have a taste duh.

"Haliya, ako ang pintor kaya alam ko ang ginagawa ko." I rolled my eyes and turned my back on this annoying guy.

"Fine. Do what you want, don't bother me." I dismissed myself and went to my room.

I knew it. Wala talagang nangyayaring maganda kapag nandito ako sa Isla. I thought that Gabriyel is a nice and obedient guys but i was wrong!

I slammed the door of my room and locked it. I grab my earphones and play some calming music just to calm my nerves. Naiinis parin ako sa lalaking iyon since kaninang umaga.

Morning supposed to give you a refreshing start and a tranquility but everything was ruined when i heard a loud knocks on my door. I stood up with frustration to open the door. Hindi naman ugali ni lolo na gisingin ako, and if ever the gigisingin man ako ng lolo ay hindi ganito ka eskandaloso.

I swear i will kill the human behind this freaking door! As soon as i opened my door, Gbariyel's face immediately welcomed me. My eyes widen and slam the door closed and rush towards my vanity mirror to check my face

My world fell down when i saw my horrifying face. I literally look so terrible. My messy hair, wrinkled clothes, pale lips, and bad breath!! Shoot.

Wait...why am i suddenly becoming conscious? like, so what if i look gross? It's morning for the record!

I quickly checked my alarm clock and i gasped when i saw the time. It's just 7:00 in the morning! Why does this an have to be here so early? Ano akala niya sa akin at ano ang kailangan niya sa akin kaya ginising ako ng ganito kaaga? Sa pagkakatanda ko ay hindi kami close para bulabugin niya ako ng ganito kaaga ha.

I fixed my hair and opened the door once again. This time i raised my brows on him and crossed my arms o show him how irritated i am for waking me up this early.

"Ano ng kailangan mo?" I nonchalantly asked, kunwari hindi nag panic kanina.

" Pasensya ka na, Haliya kung ginising kita ng ganito kaaga pero kailangan ko kasi ng tulong mo."

"What help at kailangan mo pang sirain ang tulog at umaga ko? Just to remind you hindi ibig sabihin na pinakilala mo ako sa mga kaibigan mo aat tinulungan mo ako ay magkaibgan na tayo ha. " I don't know but there is really something inside me that doesn't want to consider him as a friend.

"May pinagawa sa akin ang lolo mo. Ang sabi niya ay tulungan mo raw ako dahil may maganda ka raw na panlasa pagdating sa sining."

"I don't paint."
