The Princes and the Paupers (Completed)

Chapter 10

New

Today has been such an unnecessarily long day, I still have to go to the gym to sell off my paintings at the auction. These were the best paintings I have made so far yet as I was determined to earn enough money to pay off the hospital bill for this month.

As I entered into the gym I saw a lot of other good painting, but I could tell from my classmates' reaction that mine still must of been the best. After everyone got the chance to admire the paintings of the students, they settled down to do a bidding for the art pieces.

When my turn came, the first bidder made the starting value higher than the price of the highest sold yet. Surprisingly it was the parents that showed interest to the art piece compared to the students.
The bids kept on going on and on between multiple parents until a hand raised all the way from behind. Everyone turned around to see who it was and no body were able to say a bid after him.

After the auction was over the sir came up to me. "Hi there young man, I have never seen such an in-depth piece of art before, you are New Thitipoom correct?"

"Sawasdee khrap, thank you so much Kuhn"

"Your painting truly does deserves the praise. You must be quite passionate about painting"

"Um, actually to be honest I am not really into it, it just happened to be something... I was good at since childhood."

"Then, why do you continue it?"

"...."

"How about this? Don't call me Kuhn from now on call me uncle."

"Sorry?"

"Now that we have a relationship you can feel free to tell me"

"I..I do it for money"

"For money? Oh young boy fun stuff I see"

"No Kuhn!, I mean uncle. I I have um I actually have some personal reasons to need it. And thanks to you I should be good on that reason for quite a long time now"

"Is that so, but what if you were to have the opportunity of having money for whenever you would need it?"

"I am sorry...I don't understand"

"I have a daughter Tal, she's a little bit younger than you. I would like you to teach her how to paint the way you have learned. I am willing to pay you much as you think will be right for you and if she's able to paint like you after a few months, I will find a good job for you as well.

"....."

"So, what do you say young man?"

Words can't express my happiness right now! Was this really happening to me. I can't wait to tell Gun, Singto, and Phx.

"Thank you so much Kuhn!! You are like a god sent angel to me! Thank you sooo much"

And without thinking I jumped onto him and gave him a big hug and thankfully he hugged me back or else it would've been quite embarrassing for me.

"Very well then, I'll ask Tony to give you my house address so come tomorrow after 4 she should be free by then and let me give you a best of luck in advance because...you'll see"
