3. Pink hue

The black and white painting with the black frame hanging on the white wall, clearly depicting a woman with a thin smile both her eyes closed adds to her mysterious impression, just by looking at it once, everyone in the world will feel what the painter wants to convey. The pink hue on the gray face, maybe when painting this work the painter is in his world filled with pink flowers that are blooming, but, the pink world he painted only used a pencil that made him black and white, gray. A million questions came to my mind, is this painting about the simplicity of a taste described in one color, but why does it feel like there is a pink hue on top of it?.

This holiday I had the opportunity to visit a painting exhibition outside the city, of course I went together with Ian because our holidays were together.

Although our reason for visiting this city is different, but is it not better than both of us?.

Arriving at the place of our painting exhibition was immediately welcomed by several paintings with diverse color patterns, including, like entering the world of rainbows and it turns out even though today is a weekend visitors are not as crowded as we think.

We paused for a while and looked at some of the paintings before my feet came to a halt in front of a vast plain white wall with a single painting accompanying it. A painting of a woman with a thin smile whose eyes were both closed, her long black hair as if drawn per-helley using a pencil on the painting paper. The black-and-white painting seemed to depict another color that the painter might want to tell about, inexplicably a flash of pink hue was seen in the painting. I didn't realize I was immersed in the simple painting before Ian shook his hand.

" ai~ ai-rin, how dumb?, as good as the picture?" asked Ian while tilting his head.

" hm~, it's black and white right?, but it feels like there's all pink, hehe" I replied without turning my face away from the painting.

" this is black and white ai no pink at all, this is a picture just use a pencil doang, but really put on a wall so big yes, alone again, will pity" murmured Ian.

" you think the girl in the picture, why smile?" my many.

" emm~, if a smile means happy dong, but his smile is so adem ai, like happy he is different that, is not it? but it's not better if painted in color huh? black and white gini is too simple.

" simplicity of taste, maybe that's what the painter wants to convey, because the painter's man must be the man in this painting his partner right, the painter fell in love with the smile of this woman, the smile of this woman, it's very simple, right". Obviously me.

" I hope one day I can feel it, the simplicity of love" I murmured.

" laper nih find a meal first before going where you want" invite me while looking up because of our height difference.

"hayuk, what do you want to eat?" greet Ian while holding my hand, again.

Although this is not the first time we join hands, but I just realized, it turns out that Ian's hand that I have been holding feels warm, and also bigger than my hand, it feels comfortable and safe. The feeling when there is someone we can count on, the feeling when we find a place to complain, the feeling when we feel safe and no longer need to install a protective wall. Am I too late in this comfort?, but, don't I always hope for the best?. I don't know if time will take us where we need to be. I hope time can stop for a moment, I want this moment, right this moment, when this person beside me is smiling while clasping my cold hand and making it warm.

" you want to eat what, order me later to order something different so I can taste" whispered Ian in front of the cafe&resto cashier we stopped by.

" mn~, fried rice seafood pake additional vegetables as well as her pedes yes brother, brother, continue toast tuna mayo 1 bread do not be too dry same tomato juice use ice dikit aja not too sweet yes kak same cheese cake her one" message me with a smile to the clerk.

" don't forget to drink a lot of water if you eat a lot" said Ian smooth even though his eyebrows look almost fused.

"iyaaaaa~" I replied in a voice as blank as possible followed with my hands trying to separate his eyebrows that were almost fused together.

Endless we laughed while discussing trivial things in front of our food until we did not realize we had been in this place for a long time. We also decided to tour for a while before visiting the place that Ian wanted to go. We stopped by the bookstore, the accessories store, the pet shop, the roadside snacks, almost all the places we stopped by, because this is the center of the city every step we find something interesting and as if inviting us to visit just see the goods. Isn't this like a real date?.

As time went by the sky began to change color and dusk began to greet with a beautiful hue, instantly the atmosphere around us felt very peaceful, calm but not silent, dim but not dark.

" i've been horrified out of nowhere, yes, dusk is the time when all things cross paths, our world and the other world, the earth and the sun, he said, when the whole world melts into one before the end of its separation. Same rich farewell greetings anyway?, twilight, farewell to the sun for the earth, but greetings to know the moon for the earth. I said what the hell" I muttered to myself.

" you say what? strangely enough, you mostly watch drama tau." joked Ian.

" it's rare to watch a drama tau, o yes, I want, from kimi no nawa." I said while silent remembering some scenes in the anime movie that I repeatedly watched it.

And at the end of it we arrived at the destination Ian, the fitness place or the cool name of the gym. Because in this place is quite complete and all of you want to visit his friends, the owner of this gym. Ian is very maintaining his body shape, very different from me who gave up on my body shape that is not interesting at all.

" hey bro, how's it going?" greet Ian to a man his age with a muscular look of his hair that is shabby in his pigtails ala levels.

" who is this, then? wah wah".he replied while welcoming Ian's handshake.

" this is irene knowsin, this is josep call aja asep, my acquaintance" Ian introduced us briefly which I reply with a nod and a smile.

For some reason but the expression of Joseph looks strange and amazed. Does he wonder why Ian could be with a little brother?, let it be.

" whichever is my interest, I just stopped by, hunted malem until his nganterin" said Ian on josep.

" yes yes, I took a moment" replied Joseph with a mocking look.

" o yes, you if there is free time try to gym deh, let it seem a bit full" said Ian to me who I answered a wry smile.

Along the way home we talked a lot about trivial things and also things that are quite serious. It felt like today passed so quickly, and many things made me happy and scared. Especially after meeting Ian's friend, his astonished expression left me astonished as well. What's wrong with me?, did I not meet his expectations of Ian's partner?, did I look too much like a child? is this fear or is it just my disbelief in myself. The thing I have to remember is if it's too high flying, isn't it falling it's getting sicker too?. But let the mind fly somewhere with this cold night wind.
