"Why do you suddenly want to do an exhibition Ryuu? Usually you are the laziest when you do an exhibition in person," said a cute girl in caramel clothes who was still lying on the bed in a hospital ward.
Yes, Kin just now regained consciousness after surgery.
"It's nothing Kin, I .... I just want to do an exhibition. Given, until now I have not published my work to a wide audience," replied a handsome man with black hair.
They are Ryou and Kin. Two brother and sister orphaned by Japanese descent. They are living irregularly starting from seventeen years ago. Not only because of financial problems, but they really like to travel around the country looking for entertainment and experiences.
Ryou is a painter. He has been in his hobby from junior high school. Until now, all of his paintings have been truly astonishing and awe-inspiring. In contrast to Kin, who is more involved in the world of dance. She can perform dances from various regions, be it classical dances, contemporary traditional to modern dances. they both have a high artistic soul. Unfortunately, their financial life is only sufficient for their daily needs. Even then, they still often work odd jobs to provide for their other needs.
They were both born in Japan to be precise in Hokkaido. ryou is a man born in 1986, while Kin was born in 1994. Far enough away.
Even though he is 35 years old, Ryou's face and physique are like that of a 19 year old teenager. He is very handsome and sweet, white skin typical of the country of the sun coupled with his oriental face like a Korean drama actor makes him a figure who is very perfect. Surely many girls melt their hearts when they see the good looks of Ryou's figure.
Not much different from his sister, Kin also has a charming face. Plus, his young age makes him look cute and adorable. Even without clothes from well-known brands, they naturally look charming. especially if they are given an expensive suit in such a way it will certainly make them look like a super star descended from a conglomerate.
Actually there is another intention from a Ryou until he suddenly does an art performance like that after so many years of not doing these activities.
And Ryou's hidden intention that he didn't tell his sister was a common thread related to Elisio's desire to take his sister to his shopping center.
Elisio intends to bring Ryou with Alyosha. Why? of course Elisio intended to match the two of them. Although in fact the relationship is based solely on payment.
Ryou sees his younger sister, Kin, who wants to have her own dance studio. Kin also has tonsillitis and vertigo which can recur at any time. Ryou wants to provide a more decent life, and realize the ideals of his only sibling. He did not want Kin to continue to be on the streets to show his talents. Ryou wants his younger sister to have a dance studio where Kin can show off his talents in public.
All the images about his younger sibling's happiness become Ryou's encouragement to accept Elisio's agreement.
Elisio himself certainly made this agreement because he was worried about his sister, who until now did not have a life partner. Even though she is now 32 years old. Although for western is a natural thing, Elisio wants his sister to feel the beauty of love in a harmonious relationship with a man. And of course the man must be a good person.
Elisio's decision to enter into the agreement was due to the fact that he was tired of repeatedly telling his brother to find a lover. His sister is too rigid in matters of love, then coupled with the lack of desire to have a relationship. She could be a dollar-sucker who was blind and numb to the feeling of love for the rest of her life. Although Elisio did not realize that he was not much different from his sister.
Elisio chose Ryou as the partner for his sister because he thought Ryou was a good person. Not a bastard whose hobby is spending nights with girls or wasting possessions on useless things. Ryou is also a kind and helpful person.
The first time they met, Elisio was on a business trip in the Chicago area. Manhattan to be precise, a month ago. Long enough? for Elisio it is a short period of time, plus determining a suitable time for his sister who cannot stay in one place for a long time makes a month of time not seem long.
Elisio noticed that one of the employees at his company had bought a painting. painting that is the flow of expressionism. The painting has a strong and bold hue. Elisio was interested in buying a painting after seeing one of his employees buy the painting.
The painting with a flow of expressionism depicts a mouse sitting at the table, with a slice of expensive cheese and hot tea indulging the rat. And the funny thing is that the mouse is wearing a tie.
A real criticism. The flow of expressionism indeed shows the expression and outpouring of the painter's deepest heart. The hues, the curves of the lines are all so bold and real. So completely united.
"Where did you buy a painting this beautiful?" asked Elisio to one of his employees.
"On Cortland Street, sir. He often peddles his paintings there. If you want to wait, we can also order directly the shape of the painting we want," said the employee. "And the price is affordable, only around 27.56 dollars to 80 dollars, sir."
"What are the characteristics of this painter?" asked Elisio again.
"He is tall and thin, with broad shoulders. He always wears a gray cube-patterned scarf with jet black hair. It is not difficult to find an Asian face on Cortland Street, Sir," explained the employee.
"Asian?" asked Elisio enthusiastically. "In this painting style .... I thought he was European. All right, thanks for the info."
"Yes sir, you're welcome. Excuse me first."
Before the employee leaves there. Elisio asked another question. "What's the painter's name?" he asked.
"He only mentioned that his name was Ryou Tuan, the rest I don't know," replied the employee.
Elisio already knew the characteristics of the painter. Accompanied by the driver using the Audi A8 T FSI Quattro, they cut through the vast streets of Cortland in the afternoon.
Cortland Street is a straight street in the Manhattan area with many skyscrapers. Cream color dominates the buildings there. With simple green tree gardens along the way make Cortland Street.
Elisio narrowed his eyes, from inside the car he searched carefully for the curious figure of the painter.
"Slowly drive. I'm looking for someone," said Elisio ordering the driver.
"Yes Sir," said the driver obediently.
