: Sentimental

Walls are so tall; paintings hanged all over it. It's amazing. He is so good at painting.

"Wow. They are beautiful. Are they all yours?"

Andrew- Yeah. I love painting things. I opened my own art gallery as I can't make it public.

"You loved painting so much. And you are so good at it. Why didn't you study arts? You would have been a brilliant student."

He looked sad. His mind was blank. He was hovering his eyes here and there; looking nervous. I don't know why he is behaving like this. But I know I should support him. He is my friend indeed.

"If you don't want to share it with me. It's okay. I understand you. And will always support you. Moreover, you have extraordinary talent and you should appreciate it."

Andrew: No, you were wrong. I want to share it all with you. I think you will understand me, support me.

"I will support you no matter what."

It's been just few days we met and I already started to feel comfortable with him. I know it's the feeling of having the best person as a friend. He is never rude. I know he respects me and I do respect him too.

He was all silent even though he said I want to share it with you. He broke silence.

Andrew- It was my dad. He thought art and painting was not a good field. It has no better future, He threatened me. He wanted his son to run his company. But I don't want it at all. No one in my family wanted to know what I want. I always was interested in drawing and painting but my dad forced me to study business. I always wanted to sing as my hobby; but he always took me to his office and gave me some works so that I wouldn't start to sing and change myself. He wanted me to become like him; rude and crazy about earning money.

"So, you gave up on your dream?"

Andrew- No I always come here whenever I want to make my mind fresh. I enjoy being here. I would never give up on my dream. I just don't want to show it to anybody.

"Hey. You know what. There are people who are studying what they love and what they enjoy. It helps them to succeed in life. And there are some people who studies without enjoying it but some succeed it very well. Even though they don't love studying it they will to it anyhow and succeed. They are the strongest people. But, you know, you are a multi talented boy. You can easily succeed business class. It means you enjoy it too. And you are so good at panting. I admire you. You have great skills and determination power. You are studying business for dad its okay. But once study what you want to without any pressure. No age is late to start studying, right? We can learn anything at anytime. I am with you. I will always be there for you."

He smiled. "That's why I feel comfortable with you. I believe you. And thank you."

I smiled too.

Andrew- What about you? What do your parents do?

I didn't know what to answer him. Will he bully me if I will tell him the truth? I know he won't but; nobody knows it. He might would understand me. I always wanted to share these things with someone. Finally, I think he wants to hear me. I am nervous.

"They died.", I replied.

He was so surprised when I said they were no more. I don't know why I feel relieved saying this to him, It had been weighting on me for years and years. I want him to support me too, it's what I always wanted.

Andrew- Sorry. I- I didn't know.

"No. It's been 8 years. So, it's no problem."

Andrew- How did they die? If you don't mind, will you say me?

"They died in a car accident."

Andrew- With whom do you live?

"I live with my sister."

Andrew- Oh, It must be hard to live without parents. Don't worry. I will always be by your side. I will support you forever. I promise you to protect you as your friend.

"It's really hard. But I am learning to face all these things."

Andrew- Do you have just one sister?

"Our elder sister disappeared. No-one in this world knows where she is. "

Andrew- She disappeared. Were you close?

"We were like best friends. She used to love me very much. And I miss her. My little sister still doesn't know that we have big sister. She believes that we have parents in Switzerland."

Andrew- She doesn't know it. Why didn't you tell her?

"This is the hardest question. I still don't know why I am hiding it from her but I know that she will be hurt if she would find out. She was just of 4 months when they died. They leaved her to me because they were going to Switzerland for business trip. They went there with my sister. Then, my mom and dad died due to car accident. But my sister was not in the car. So, I still don't know where she is. Two of them who were alive were we two. I have always been scared since that incident happened. I don't want Emma to suffer by the same mental torture. I want her to be happy."

Andrew- You are so strong. You are so different from others. I like the way you love and care for your loved ones. You can hang out with my mom if you miss your mom. My mom will always support you and love you.

"Thank you, Andrew. First time in my life I am relieved by sharing all these sorrows to someone whom I can trust. And, you are so different from the first impression I had of you. "

Andrew smiled.

Andrew- So, we are best friends now, aren't we?

"Yes we are."

Andrew- And, do you have boyfriend?

"No, I don't."

Andrew – Why are you still single? You are a lovely girl.

"Nobody loves the girl like me; who lies to their loved ones to prevent them from getting hurt."

Andrew- This type of girl deserves a boy who can feel why she lied; who can love her unconditionally. And, I don't think I even have a chance to win this lovely girl's heart.

He smiled.

Andrew- I was just kidding.
