Brush And Canvas System
Entrapment

Hero tries to say good morning in Japanese which makes the figure stop looking at him and reply. "No need to speak Japanese, I understand your language." The reply made the Hero nag.

"Big T is working. You can wait here, about fifteen minutes. It doesn't matter, does it?"

"Of course." Hero sits back thinking what will happen, while the man goes directly behind the unknown Hero. When he was busy glancing at his phone without realizing there was an eye gaze that was watching him.

As Hero is engrossed in his phone then the eyes are also engrossed in seeing it. Before long Big T comes making Hero immediately give his pleasantries. "Do you like waiting for him?" Ask Big T.

"I enjoyed her decorations, very beautiful and attractive." Reply Hero as Big T sits his butt on the soft sofa.

"You're on time, I like it. Not that you forgot your assignment here."

"I remember it."

"Good." Before long there was a clap of hands that turned out to be a waiter who was carrying a canvas and brushes and tools for painting.

"This is where you paint. Take it, I will say what you will paint. Hear that! I only said it once, and you should remember it well. I don't like to repeat, if you fail, you and the old man can have consequences. Understood?"

"Okay, I get it." Hero takes the brush and prepares to paint.

"In a high, fertile and also spacious land filled by 2 cherry trees shortly after time, the, grew a small cherry tree that soon after a few years later grew another tree that made the land decorated with color and happiness anyone who saw it. But a storm, made a shock in the land, until a little bird that did not know where it came from reached there and caused the last tree to grow it to die. Not knowing what he did, the fertility of the soil there became disturbed as well as the trees that lived there. Some time later, the first two trees died, only one tree was alive. The tree fights itself in solitude and storms."

A moment of sighing and at the same time the Hero is confused by the Big T story. 'I think this is what the store owner meant, it's really confusing. But, I can't give up!'

"Buddy?" There was a slight tone there when I saw the look on Hero's face.

"No, I'm waiting for the continuation." Answer Hero.

"Nearly, after so long of solitude. The bird that came once again, but with a little bird beside it and another bird that was pink like the petals of a cherry blossom. And the story's over, I want you to paint it from the beginning I tell it to the end of the story in one time and place!" Big T got up from his couch and Hero fell silent as he digested the story. As he was engrossed in his thoughts, there was a clicking sound and Hero was surprised to see the windows and doors surrounding him close automatically accompanied by the sound of Big T.

"I give you one day, you can eat and drink too. I'll see you the day after tomorrow, happy work!" Big T disappears along with his voice leaving the Hero alone.

"Crazy! Whatdoes thatmean? I don't get it? Is this a trap?" The hero becomes regretful and confused at the same time.

"No! I can't give up! Remember, what mom said. If we have made a choice, then we must finish it, nothing is within our limits. Yeah, there he is. Now think Hero, calm down and think. I'm sure it's like a figure of speech and I need to understand the point." Silent, quiet and calm mixed into one, Hero took his long breath and still did not produce any not even a line yet.

Because of this silence, his mind seemed to go back to the past, where after school he loved to sit in his shady yard and see birds singing there. "See what Hero?" There was a soft voice that made the Hero smile happily.

"Mother, I saw a flying sparrow and brought some leaves or twigs to a tall tree."

"Well, why are you so happy to see it?" Ask mother.

"Well, when I saw the Sparrow, I remembered Dad, you were a hard worker and you also brought wood, zinc and others to build our house." Said Hero make his mother's smile expand.

"Then, whose mother?" Hero was silent for a moment and soon shook his head.

"His tree or the other bird?" Guess her mother's hero didn't blame or justify but explained.

"A family is like that big tree, but over time he had new branches and twigs that were like his children and the Pipit was like someone else who came and found something and built a nest together. If the tree doesn't qualify for them, then?"

"The baby's gonna go get his family looking for a new tree."

"True, sometimes life is not in line with what we want. So, we have to finish it alone or together."

Hero wakes up and turns out the clock shows midnight. "I fell asleep, the painting wasn't done yet." Hero seems to collect his consciousness and the light of the lamp that is shining on a frame makes Hero smile.

"That means, Big T's family." Hero immediately danced his hand with a brush and worked in the middle of the silence that night.

On the other hand, Big T who was still not asleep stared at the small frame there, seen two boys and girls.

"It needs something T?"

"No, what's up here?" Big T asked the man his father's age.

"Just ask a little, if it's about answering." Big T seemed to raise his eyebrows.

"Please, about what?"

"The young man, who was painting." His words made Big T chuckle.

"Painting? I'm sure he'll cry tomorrow for failing."

"Take it that way, so where's she from?"

"Of course it's a man from this country, and it certainly doesn't matter, like a little insect passing by me and I have to deal with it. Why is it Uncle?" Big T became curious about this man's question.

"Nothing, it's just that his big guts make me curious."

"Hmmmm, I want to sleep. Uncle can come out."

"Good." After the door closed, Big T closed his eyes with the lights on while the man called Uncle seemed to be thinking hard.

"Am I wrong?" He said in the middle of the night.
