" You haven't slept !? "

" Hey .... tumben this hour still not sleeping , still send a message with him !? " question Lia to her twin brother who arrived to come to her room after dinner was over .

" Jero sent a message only once after his departure to the dormitory, and you answered it .... "

" Next time can't be Kak , it's called PeHaPe .. sin ! " lia said while drawing something on her canvas . Odelia loves to paint on canvas . Her artistic talent is the same as that of long-dead mother duo Al Shamma .

That time before starting his activities in the dormitory Jero had indeed sent a message to Via ,Jero reminded them of their promise at that time . The man also sent several messages asking about Via .

Lia had told in detail what promises they said on the first date but Via still asked Lia to answer Jero's message on the grounds of not being confident .

" What do you want to paint !? " ask Via when looking at the initial graffiti of oil paint that is like a person's face frame .

" There is dehhh .." Lia replied with a meaningful smile .

" Yes already Brother rest first, you don't stay up too late ! Mommy will be angry when she knows "

" Yes ... "

Odelia put down her brush after her older sister left, several times she breathed her breath . He stared at the basic frame of a person's face that he hadn't finished yet, it would be a lot of challenge to paint this time because that face was only in his mind .

When her heart had calmed down, Lia again grabbed her brush and re-sprinted the oil paint on the canvas . Odelia is still drifting in her busy life with color even though the clock shows the time almost early in the morning .

CEKKKBIT ...

" dear .... "

" mom .... "

Anna approaches her daughter who is seen putting down her paint palette and brushes . It seems that the girl has already finished her painting .

" It's been a night once, you haven't slept yet !? You're painting !? "

The barrage of questions from her Mommy made Lia laugh .

" It's over Mom, after this I'll take a break ! Mommy hasn't rest yet ?? "

" Nice !!? Lia isn't as smart as Grandma yet, still got a lot to learn "

" that's great pity, very bold color selection . Is there another contest in your community !? "

Odelia participates in a fairly large painting community where the community often holds painting contests to encourage its members .

" The winning painting will take part in the exhibition of the famous painter to be held in France next month . If it is sold, it will be donated to street artists who are there ", Lia replied while looking at the finished painting .

Actually he had hesitated to paint the face of a man who at all he did not have a photo or picture of him . But at this moment only the man's face always filled his heart, he had no painting inspiration other than the picture of that face .

" Have you asked Jero for permission if his face painting wants you to participate in that big annual contest ?? "

" Not yet, not necessarily winning Mom !! There are still so many potential painters besides me . Their paintings must have been more phenomenal .... "

Anna stroked the top of her youngest daughter's head, she knew her two daughters loved the same man . And he knew Lia would eventually give up . From childhood Odelia did often succumb to the happiness of her twin brother because she knew Via had a different condition with her .

" Did Jero know you liked him too !? "

" What is Mom for !? Brother Jero and Sister Olivia love each other, they are a compatible couple !! "

" But you ... "

" There are still thousands of men out there that I can choose to be my next door .. So Mommy take it easy !! I won't fall for a broken heart "

The two of them laughed together, even so Anna actually felt a pain her youngest daughter was hiding .

" Yes after this clean yourself up and rest ... "

" Good Mom, earlier I wanted to take this painting to the back shed . I don't want Sister Via to misunderstand me seeing this "

After the Mommy came out Lia was still sitting staring at the face of the man she was painting .

" Your smile .. is my life "
