The Greatest Masterpiece

One

I was staring at the picture where the four of us looks so happy because I won in the Art Competition for the very first time,
In the picture my mom looks so proud and happy to me and how I wish to see her look at me again, with those emotion in her eyes.

I know my mom hates me because whenever she's looking at me, her eyes has a disappointed and cold look,
I don't know how it turned out like this but
I wanted to see her smile again.

Sighing I put the picture down and go out of my room only to see a demon sitting on the couch.

When he saw me he smiled to me then said "What's up, Little Monster?"
I just rolled my eyes at him, God he's annoying.

I was about to drink the water when the demon showed up and asked me
"Are you going to buy something? I'm going to the Creati.."

so I looked at him then said "Wait here, mag aayos lang ako"

When I got the things that I needed pumunta na ako sakanya para makaalis na kami.

It took us 2 hours before we finally arrived in the Creati Shop, nang makababa na kami ay pumasok na kami sa loob at dumiretso na ako sa mga kakailanganin ko, well I need to buy some canvasses, inks, pallete and brushes.

Papunta na sana ako sa demonyo kong kasama when I bumped into someone so I apologized to him and when I was about to leave he suddenly asked

"Do you enjoy painting?"

I stopped but I didn't looked back but to answer his question I nodded at him without even looking.

I was bothered with the way he asked me tho, like he knew something? or maybe I am just being paranoid, actually when he asked me that I was tempted to look at him para malaman kung anong itsura nya but I stopped myself because I don't want someone to see my reaction when it comes to painting.

When we got home I immediately walk upstairs and go to my room, I am living in our own house but I feel like I don't belong, I feel like I can't do something that I love here.

I'm staring at the empty canvass now thinking what should I paint? whom shoud I paint? and what kind of emotion should I make them feel?

Whenever I see some paintings I always ask to myself na ano kaya ang nararamdaman nila tuwing nagpipinta sila? A single painting can tell a story and a single painting can make you feel some emotions so everytime I see some artists that is smiling I always ask, How can they smile when their painting is clearly describing what's inside their head? How can they smile so bright that everyone would think that they are okay?

How can they do that?
Humans are so confusing, they act like they are happy yet inside they are broken.
Some would think that they are right yet others think that they are toxic, Humans are so foolish.

Funny that I think of them like that when in fact I am a human, I am like them too, foolish, confusing and maybe sometimes toxic.

But without our attitude like that we will not learn, we will not strive harder but now I ask what's a best scenario or painting to describe us? I am thinking how humans will paint us? The Greatest Artist of all made us like this now I am curious on why did he made us like this?

I was about to paint something when I heard a knock on the door so I stopped and yelled "Come in!" when the door opened I saw my dad looking at the blank canvass.

"Hindi ka pa nagsisimula?" Dad asked while pouting, I chuckled at his childish act and answered "Hindi pa Dad, kabibili lang namin kanina ng canvass"

"Lumabas kayo ng kapatid mo?" Gulat na tanong ni Dad sa akin

"Do I have a choice?, Hindi nyo naman ako hinahayaang magdrive ng sasakyan eh" Nakasimangot na sagot ko sakanya
