Five years later…….
Reedly looked at the paintings inside her studio one last time. Kasunod niya si Choco na mabagal na din kumilos. Choco whined and scratched his head on her legs.
Malungkot na kinuskos niya ang ulo nito. Choco must have felt that they will leave the house for sure.
Maybe it’s time to say goodbye to all of it. Hindi niya alam kung para pa din ba sa kanya ang pagiging artist. Maybe she doesn’t have the talent or the grit for it.
Hindi kagaya ni Red.
Reedly shook her head. No. Don’t go back there, Reedly.
She closed her eyes. Inhaled and exhaled.
Hinawakan niya ang seradura ng pintuan at isinara iyon. Pero agad na nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang biglang sumulpot ang Dad niya sa tapat niya.
Automatikong napahawak si Red sa dibdib niya. “Dad!”
Bakit hindi niya
