Because of you and the Warm Sweet Tea
Family Portrait Painting

"Darling, this is so beautiful. Whose work is this?" Ask a woman who looks like a mother who has a child. Her face was so graceful that her unwilling eyes stopped enjoying some of the pictures that were in the sketchbook shown by her husband.

"Look, women are there" said the fathers, who pointed to a woman wearing a large backpack enjoying a painting. "He created the images you admire".

"I want to talk to him. Just this time I found someone who really created this good work in front of my eyes." then the mother while holding her child's hand towards the woman.

"Hey lady, is this sketchbook really yours. And the pictures in this book are you really the one that made it?" Ask the mother.

"Oh, yes, Mom. It's really mine. Sorry about the book I showed my father who was standing next to my mother. Do you like my pictures?" Ask the woman to the mother who had not been able to hide her admiration.

"Oh, yes. This my husband. My husband said you have no place to hide now, right?" Ask the mother carefully.

"Yes, right mom." Answer the woman. The woman has decided to be tough in the face of the cruelty of this world. So that disgrace no longer hurt for him.

"Ah, why don't you just stay with us? At least until you can earn and be able to stand alone. Besides, I also want to see how you create these works. Yeah, right son?" Then the little boy who heard his mother's statement nodded steadily.

"Sister's picture looks really good. Besides, I also want to get a portrait of my family, brother. Brother can?" Ask the little boy.

"Ah yes. Count it as a token of my gratitude because you allowed me to stay a while in your house. But do you have any painting tools?" Ask the woman.

"Just calm down, our son is also happy to paint. So you can use the studio in our house to create that masterpiece." Said the fathers who had had a discussion about the psychology of painting.

The woman did not think at all, if the family's speech about their house which has a lot of empty rooms and also has a painting studio was not a figment.

After being delivered to one of the empty rooms that will become her private room, after finishing unpacking her personal belongings, the woman began to look forward to immediately going to the painting studio.

Of course, the only boy in the house was happy to take the girl to the painting studio, where she spent a lot of time. Not to forget, the couple who saw the behavior of his son who was very enthusiastic was seen a sense of pleasure and happiness from his face.

Then when the woman realized that the painting studio had complete painting equipment, she was increasingly impatient to immediately start painting. Then, the woman was holding a brush and palette that already contained watercolor, she immediately headed for a blank canvas that stood on a canvas table.

A few hours later, the woman with her face covered in brushes still looked serious with the canvas in front of her. While the little boy occasionally took a sitting posture without his eyes able to switch from the view of the painter in front of him who was painting it.

"Ah, brother. Your request is done" said the woman was proud of her first creation in the family home.

Then, how open the little boy was when he saw a very good painting in front of his eyes. It was just created by the painter. The painting looks very beautiful, not inferior to the various paintings he had seen in the art gallery just now.

The painting depicts a family portrait that houses the painter's woman. With a black background, a graceful and beautiful-looking mother sat on a bench, while the little boy stood on the left with his sweet face, and his father stood to his right, showing his compassion.

The family depicted in the portrait wore formal clothing, her mother wore a red kebaya dress with her hair bun, and she wore the same colored scarf. The two men on the left and right wore tuxedos. So that the three figures in the painting look very classy and elegant.

"Mama papa should see this! Brother, don't go anywhere!" The little boy exclaimed after a while unable to stop admiring the painting before his eyes. Then he impatiently left the painting studio to call his parents.

When the woman was left alone, she looked back at the painting she had just made that was still wet. He who while enjoying the painting he had created from a few hours ago also finally re-thought. Looking at the family portrait he made was so elegant and classy. But in the life he saw from this family, he actually felt that the three people in the portrait had a very warm and harmonious nature.

His mother's father, who looked very romantic and affectionate, was also a jovial and enthusiastic little boy who was determined to become a famous painter. What the family did made the woman feel welcome.

Unfortunately, that affection is actually now obtained from the family of others. A family he did not know at all. Whether they live off a clean living or not, whether they pretend harmony in front of him or not. Whether they actually have a life problem, or whether they really accept their current situation or not.

"I thought you really had talent in art." Saying a father. The father and the mother and her son are now back in the painting studio. The three of them looked very impressed by the copyrighted work of the painter's woman.

"Thank you, sir, ma'am, for the compliment. I also did not expect that you guys actually liked this work" said the woman blushed.

"You know what, son?" Ask the mother while touching the shoulder of the woman."This painting if sold can sell tens of millions of rupiah. We're gonna buy this painting. You want to sell it for us?" Ask the mother who turned out to be a collector of classy paintings.

"Mom, this painting I leave to you, as a form of gratitude for allowing me to stay for a while in this house." The woman was proud of her work.

"Then, son, how about you start working as a painter? I know a decent place to show off your paintings. You can stand alone with your talent. You just ask that you do not stop painting and show your beautiful work to everyone" said the father, the head of the household. Approved by other family members.
