I headed straight to my couch and sat down busy with my phone talking to my clients regarding tomorrow's meeting. Meanwhile my manager was slowly creeping in after a good chat with my driver. He often mistakes me to be blind I think.

As I hung up the call, I gave a stare at him. He froze at that moment and spoke in broken English, "Sir... I think... I err forgot something." "Well was it sir?" I asked him teasingly. "Ah the painting." he jumped as he said and left in a moment to bring it.

"Haha escaped even this time" I murmured.

He walked in again slowly but this time even slower. He had opened it and is frozen for the moment having a look at it.

Maybe he didn't have a closer view and it would have surprised him that I bought it.

"Reality is bitter, right?" I asked him thinking about the painting which really isn't a great one to be honest.

He replied "No, not the reality. But it's our expectation."

"What?" I said in a confused manner. What did he mean by that? I walked closer to him to have a look at what he's still looking at.

"Wow!" was the only word I blurred out.

"Isn't it beautiful?" he asked, but he got my silence as the reply.

I was stunned to see the same drawing, the colourless one but now it isn't colourless anymore. It's very beautiful as it has got its magnificent colours. And now I understood all about the packing idea.

"Sir, look at this" my managed said in a quick voice.

"What is it?" I asked him as I opened a small piece of paper which was kept along with the painting.

It read out

Life without colours isn't so interesting.

"Yes indeed" I murmured.

I am really impressed by her. And this was totally unexpected. She made my day.

"Sir, should I hang this somewhere?" my manager asked me with a smiling face.

"Yes, probably in my room" I replied back quickly. And that really shocked him.

"Are you sure, sir?" he asked me again and again. It's because I never like decorating my room and I always keep it simple and neat. I don't have time for it and I am not used to this designing and decor actually. But this is indeed a good memory, and now I feel like I should also concentrate on my personal life.

Life is to enjoy, right?
