Forget Me Not [querenciaseries #1]

FMN: CHAPTER-5

*2 years later*

"Neve ano oras ba yung art exhibition niyo?" tanong ni Necia as I answer her call.

I looked at my watch.

"It is open from 10am- 8pm." sabi ko habang natatawa.

"Neve. Did you know that this freaking Cairo is trying to piss me off?" pilit na kumakalmang sabi ni Necia.

Lalo naman akong natawa.

"Oo naman. Alam mo namang Cairo enjoys tormenting you." sabi ko habang naglalakad sa gallery.

"Neve, pinaglihi ba yung pulis na yon sa kampon ni Satanas?" pinigil ko naman ang tawa ko sa tanong nito.

"Ewan ko doon. Tanungin mo siya panigurado may sagot iyon." sabi ko habang tinitingnan ang mga painting ko.

"Arghhhh. Bakit mo ba kasi naging kaibigan yung lalaking yon?" naiinis na sabi na ni Necia.

Natawa nalang ako at pilit na pinakalma siya.

Ng matapos ang tawag ay lumapit naman sa akin ang assistant ko.

"Mam. Eto po pala yung direction kung nasaan yung mga paintings niyo." sabay abot sa akin ng isang papel.

I looked at the paper with a smile.

After 2 years of pain and crying I manage to comeback in painting and i've finally managed to get inspiration.

I walked to the center painting of this exhibition and I smile as I've seen it in its full glory.

"This was perfect." mahina kong sabi habang tinitingnan ang detalye ng gawa ko.

"Mam. Magoopen na po tayo. Proceed na po tayo sa stage kasama yung iba pang artist." sabi ng secretary ko at sinundan ko naman agad ito.

I strengthen my back and tries to fix my dress. It is form hugging light-brown tone with puff-sleeves.

I walked with glamour on the stage as I see people with their smile in their faces.

"Hello everyone. I'm Nix the artist of this exhibition after 6 years of the making and was now known as Snow." sabi ko habang nakangiti.

I looked around and I spotted Necia and Cairo together with Maia and Wren. They waved at me while taking some pictures.

"I know that many people thought that I just wasted my 6 years of life not doing art. In that 6 years, all of the things that happened to me were mirrored by my painting. I hope you feel those emotions and be inspire from it. Thank you and enjoy." sabi ko at nagbow.

They cheer and clap for me as I descend to the stage as another artist came up on the stage.

Instead of having an exhibition by myself. I've decided to do this together with other artist. Which I quite feel happy about it.
