The Return Of The Artist
Chapter 10

UH.. Good morning to the world! It has long not felt the holiday.yah.even though there is an appointment..

This is the first time I've been on holiday since I became an artist. But now I'm accepting an offer for a holiday. So what should we do before 10?..

I'm thinking about what's fun on holiday, Hemm.. All right, let's go for a walk!

Today was so fun! I went to the amusement park, ate and stuff..

I saw my watch turned out to be 9:30. 30 minutes was already 10, so I prepared to go back. On the way I met Jevano.

"Loh Jevano?"

I saw Jevano in front of me wearing a black jacket and also carrying a bouquet of flowers. Is he going to propose to someone?

"Oh hi Riana, are you enjoying the day off?"

"Ah, yes.. Jevano where are you going?"

Jevano was silent for a moment, then he replied.

"I'm going to the cemetery, there's someone I have to meet because it's his birthday. " Jevano smiled slightly.

A graveyard? who's? What don't don't..

"Jev, can I come?"

Jevano was surprised and said yes, Jevano and I went to the cemetery. That grave looks familiar to me, like I've been here before.

Jevano showed me one of the tombs, and I was shocked. It turns out that the tomb that the two of us are visiting right now belongs to Aria Astrania! The real me..

"Aria, Happy birthday..I'm sorry I haven't been visiting you lately..." Jevano put her bouquet of flowers ..

It turns out my guess was right. This man is not Jevano, but Kenzo! That familiar behavior and face has proved it. Kenzos..Not us, apparently have realized our own dreams.

I pretended to ask what Aria was like, and Jevano uh no Kenzo, explained her at length and smiled.

"Her partner Aria wants to be an artist too huh.."

"Yes, but it's a pity that he can't make it happen. To be honest you and Aria you two look alike.."

I'm sculpting, I can't say. Obviously we are similar because Aria and Riana are one and the same person.

"Ah if you're not mistaken your stage name is Aria right?"

"Yes, I got that name from my best friend. But I don't think it matters, so Aria's name can be Aria Astrania's figure.."

That day was a hard day to explain. Kenzo and I met again but with another figure.

I painted myself as Aria Astrania's and planned to show her off at the Galery gold. I asked Jevano to send me a picture of Aria for me to paint.

What happens if I say now that Aria is me? will he believe? or didn't? better not.

I've finished painting it. I was a little surprised, was I this beautiful? I rarely see myself, so I don't know how I am.

After that I called Sora to help me put this painting in the gallery. Many people came to see him. I am happy at once happy. Don't forget I called Jevano to come to the gallery.

"Jevano here!" I shouted towards Jevano from a distance. Jevano ran towards me. I showed her. Jevano showed me a difficult expression to explain and..

"Rianna..Thanks!" He said that word.

After a long chat with the guests and the reporters, Jevano and I finally had some time together. We decided to talk at the cafe that we usually bring.

"Thank you, I'm sure if Aria sees it she'll be very grateful.."

"I know, but either way the painting would mean something to me" Jevano smiled again.

"Did Aria mean so much to you?" I used to want to ask this but since I knew he wouldn't answer, so this is an opportunity.

"Yes means a lot. We've been friends for a long time, before he died I wanted to propose to him but it turns out fate said something else.."

I'm surprised.what..? So Kenzo was gonna propose to me then? I don't know..

When I was a kid, I never liked a close friend. That's why I only consider Kenzo some of my friends and family.

...****************...

"Dayn, Mira, I'm going to bed. Good night.."

"Good night Riana!"

I lay in bed. I got a lot of things today. It feels strange, lying to someone who used to trust each other..

I really can't sleep tonight. I opened my phone and lots of notifications..

Everyone talks about the painting Aria Astrania, even on television! Gokils!

If I knew Aria would be famous like this I should have painted myself.. eh wait... if I painted myself now then put it on display in Galery like Aria's painting would I be crowded too?! nice idea!

But painting yourself is a classic theme, I need a companion for more hits!

Last night I kept thinking about this, until I met Jevano.. "It looks like I met a pftt panda" Jevano mocked me for my eye bags.. "Fuck you Jevano! It's a sign as someone who has worked hard knows!" Because I lack sleep somehow it feels like I want to be angry all day..

"Well, so what do you want to discuss with me?"

Oh yeah, I almost forgot

"uhuk, so you see .you know that Aria's painting is now on the rise. So I plan to paint the same thing only if painting alone is normal.I need a theme that people rarely use! you got Jevano's idea?"

I saw Jevano thinking. Well maybe it's a strange idea, but I want to try it once in a while!

"What do you mean it's a painting with a pair theme?"

The bomb! The idea suddenly came to me! Painting with a couple or poses two people who love, rarely anyone wears it!

"THAT'S A GOOD IDEA JEVANO! But I need a model to paint it.." I nodded slowly and glanced at Jevano. A graceful pose and a handsome CEO, isn't that fitting for his men!

Then who's the girl? Should I look for it? what about Idol Luna? Is he fit for the women? Uh! Don't know it!

"If you're confused by her female model, what if it's you? haven't you ever painted yourself..?"

Huh huh? Me? kidding me?

"No, no! The painting would be weird if I painted myself there! What about the famous Idol Luna! Isn't he much more fitting?"

"This is your picture. Why are you painting other people! Try painting yourself Riana!"

The deg!

Yes, this is my painting. But none of the paintings I have there..

"So how?"

"Eh, wait.means me and you dong?!"
