Chapter 14 - The PAINTING

"THE NEXT DAY"

Carlyx woke up from the sun rays coming through the big curtains hitting his flawless face. As Carlyx woke up he sat on his bed shirtless. He was rubbing his eyes. He was looking like a cute bear. His hairs were all messed up. It was Sunday but not for Carlyx he would still work.

He was going to get up and head towards the bathroom to freshen up but got startled by the ringing of phone. He got a call from Aaron.

Carlyx: " Yes."

Aaron: "You got up?"

Carlyx: "Just got up ... going to get ready for office."

Aaron: "Na na na sir , you are not going anywhere, I just got to know that you are even working on Sundays, you also deserve a break buddy, today you are going to rest. And hold on I have an idea let's have dinner together."

Carlyx: " No there is no need for all of this I need to go to office, I am totally okay with working."

Aaron: " Shut up. You gonna fall sick. If you won't listen to me I will come to your home and lock you there and also gonna annoy you whole day, I guess it will be better then."

Carlyx: " Is it a threat?"

Aaron: "Yes sirrrr! "

Carlyx: " You are already annoying me, okay I will take an off then just don't disturb anymore."

Aaron: "Okay then I will pick you up at 7 pm then."

Carlyx: " Okay my mom."

Aaron: "Okay my son see you then."

Carlyx hung up on phone. He sighed and then he smiled. Aaron has always cared for him alot.

Carlyx went towards the bathroom, brushed his teeth and took a cold shower to freshen up. He was free whole day now, so he thought to do some painting. He loved painting from the time he first saw his mom painting. He has always been a good painter from his childhood. He even won the painting competitions in his school in back those days.

It's not been so long since he painted last time. Because painting was all that he did to fresh his mind. He went to the terrace , adjusted a white canvas in the stand. He one by one started to put out the necessary things required for painting from of a bag. He sat on the stool. Searched his mind and thoughts for a while. He put some acrylic paints on the palette. He started to mix them with a palette knife.He took a suitable brush to paint and started to stroke on blank canvas with his colored brush.

While he was painting, his face was just giving beautiful expressions. The enchanting smiles that were heartthrobs. He was looking like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.

After a long time the painting ended. He made a girl's face with her hairs untied . Some of her hairs were brushing her face as she was smiling beautifully. The painting was just so mesmerizing. Anyone could just admire the painting for whole day. He painted it just so amazing. He got up from his place to take a better look of the painting.

The painting was looking beautiful but after a sudden realization his heart went

"BADUM , BADUM , BADUM"

He could hear his loud and freaking fast heartbeats.
