The Artist's VixenEpilogue
It was a big event for Xenon. After his schooling at Paris, he went straight home and had a big opportunity to showcase his works. A lot of investors and art lovers were there at the event.
Even my family was there to support him.
"Tita Veena!" I turned around and saw my nephew. Tumakbo siya papunta sa akin at niyakap ako.
"How are you Jaden?" Hinalikan ko ang ulo niya.
"I'm fine tita." He giggled. "Where's Kaleb po?" He asked about Xenon and I's son.
"Nandoon siya kay Tito Xenon mo. Play kayo?" I asked him.
Tumango siya at umalis na. Nakita kong paparating si Ate Deina. She looks very young in her red dress. Napangiti ako sa kanya and she looked tense.
"What's wrong Ate?" Tanong ko sa kanya.
"Huh? Nothing!" Natawa siya ng kaunti. "Anyways, I love the paintings! Puro ikaw ang nakikita ko. Variation is present but only one subject." She commented.
I slightly laughed. "What would you expect of Xenon Ate? I am so proud of him."
"Of course you are!" Sabi niya. "Tita Linette and Dad will be here in a minute. Nahuli sila kasi may regalo pa daw sila para kay Xenon."
"Really? Parang si Xenon ang anak ha?" Both of us laughed.
"Mukhang pinag-uusapan niyo akong dalawa ha?" Xenon sprouted out of nowhere.
"Xenon!" I turned my back at him. He's with Jakob, one of the sponsors that made this event possible. Also Kuya Bleau's best friend back in high school. "Hi, Kuya Jakob." I greeted him.
"Veena." Tumango siya at napatingin kay Ate Deina. "Deina." He smiled.
Mahina ang pagngiti ni Ate Deina."Uh, I should find Jaden."
"He's with Kaleb and my Dad. Naglalaro sila." Xenon informed.
Before Xenon left for Paris, nakipag-ayos ang tatay niya sa kanya. Sa aming lahat to be specific. He said his sorries and we forgave him. When he knew about me being pregnant with Xenon's child, agad-agadan niya kaming pinagpakasal. He said that Kaleb should have a legal and complete family before he greets the world. Him and Dad were the best grandfathers that Kaleb could ask for. Kaya nagiging spoiled kasi kahit anong gusto nito ay binibigay.
Tumango si Ate Deina at nagpasalamat bago umalis.
"I was discussing with Jakob about establishing an art school here in Manila." Sabi ni Xenon.
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Art school? Don't you think its too fast for that, babe? Kakarating mo lang galing art school sa Paris at ngayon magpapatayo ka na ng art school dito?"
Jakob chuckled. "Well, its not his idea. Its your father's."
"Si Dad talaga." I groaned.
Both of them laughed at my reaction. "Look babe. Tito is just expanding. He's proposing this art school para mabilis makapaproduce and recruit ng mga bagong artist sa industry na ito." He explained. "Me, Jakob, and Bleau will be professors. Marami pang kukuning professors sa art school na itatayo." Dagdag niya pa.
My lips twitched, still unsure of the idea but I smiled and chose to support him. "Okay. If that's what you want, I'll be here to support you. Always." I kissed his cheek.
He winked and smiled. "I know you will, my vixen."
