Barsh And Kalistha (Something I Call Home)

Chapter 8: This is a Memorandum

For a second Barsh refused to remove his hand link from Kalistha. Their eyes were still engrossed in enjoying some of the paintings there.

Arrives when Barsh's eyeballs are drawn to a painting. Which is not far enough from where they are.

The painting is crowded with viewers. Barsh pulls Kalistha's wrist. That made Kalistha confused. Kalistha followed Barsh's footsteps.

"A lot! I wonder what kind of painting is behind this man?" barsh said as he broke into the group of humans. Kalistha scrunched her forehead.

It was only this first time that Kalistha saw Barsh strongly assuming a work of art.

"Since when have you been interested in art to break through like this?" kalistha asked on the sidelines of Barsh's attempt to break through.

They stopped right in front of the painting. Paying off his attempt to break through. Barsh smiles happily watching the painting.

Kalistha watched the painting but she smiled looking at it. Barsh glanced at his girl who was still paying attention to the painting.

He knew exactly what the girl was feeling. Her girl's family background is very sad. But how else, human nature is difficult to guess.

"Be it?" praise Barsh while staring at the painting again. Kalistha nodded hearing that.

What Barsh said is true. The painting is beautiful. Nun she was forced to have a faint smile considering how bad the relationship between herself and her family was at this time.

"Yes, it's so beautiful!" lirih Kalistha slowly.

The family painting with their two daughters reminds him of his family. A long time before the accident took away Syena's body. They were both happy prosperous princesses.

"You can make it a lot more beautiful than this, right?" barsh was sure.

The words made Kalistha smile. He shakes hearing that. It seemed impossible for him even if his talent existed.

"How come? The two pawns that were supposed to be there to guide us, are gone! Because of the misfortune that inflicts a flaw on my sister and they consider it a disgrace? Then, abandon her!" kalistha to Barsh. Barsh smiled wryly hearing that.

The events of his family are back on the spin. That's very painful. Words and what Mama and her Papa gave to the disabled Syena.

But Barsh, he had one good intention about his request. So Barsh will insist on breaking Kalistha's heart.

"You ever felt their affection and presence, but Syena?" lirih Barsh still looked at the painting.

The voice made Kalistha look at her young man seriously. He didn't understand what Barsh meant here.

"Then?" ask Kalistha who wants to know what Barsh means.

"You can complete all of this even if it's not reality. But, treat your wounds and desires through painting. Make your family whole from the painting so that Syena also feel happy and complete even though only from a painting. At least, Syena had once felt that she was beside them even if only from there!" barsh told Kalistha.

A wise piece of advice made Kalistha smile little hearing that, her heart slightly touched. But his spirit was flaring back in his chest.

Until the corner of his lips that had been smiling had begun to steadily say,

"Yes, I'll try!" kalistha steady.

Barsh smiled happily hearing that.

"Do we have to buy this painting as an example? I'm afraid you can't paint it!" barsh joked.

Kalistha snorted annoyedly hearing that.

"I'm more skilled than this painter, just look!" kalistha said as she pointed at the painting in front of her, Barsh laughed at that.

"Yes... Yeah, I know that! Let's go on again!" Barsh.

Kalistha nodded hearing that they also re-enjoyed the exhibition.

For a long time they enjoyed some of the art there. It was nice to see her girl smiling happily, it was such a satisfaction for Barsh.

Seen from a distance an old geezer with paint in his hand, the grandfather was painting something. The object before him was a pair of lovers. Barsh noticed that.

"Darling!" call Barsh on Kalistha who is looking the other way. Kalistha turned her head to hear that, she raised one of her eyebrows while asking.

"What?" ask Kalistha to Barsh.

Barsh pointed towards the Grandpa with a smile.

"Come there!" take Barsh walking while pulling Kalistha's wrist.

Upon arrival there right behind the grandfather, Barsh smiled at the extraordinary work.

"It's amazing how beautiful it looks to be real!" praise Barsh amazement.

Heard the praise from the voice of a young man behind him. The old man looked and smiled.

"Can you paint us?" barsh asked the old man.

That request certainly made Kalistha smile hearing that. She wonders what Barsh needs a painting for? He can take pictures. For a moment the grandfather watched the two, and smiled.

"You look good, go ahead!" said the Old Grandpa.

Permit Barsh and Kalistha as the object of his painting. Barsh happily smiled as he advanced along with Kalistha.

"It's not long, just fifteen minutes is over!" said the grandfather.

Grandpa began to prepare his painting tools. They still haven't styled anything. Kalistha was only able to resignedly pay attention to the old grandfather in front of her who was still busy preparing her brushes and watercolors.

Kalistha who was standing in front of Barsh did not realize that Barsh had been thinking about something sneaky.

Watching Kalistha who stood behind him. Without any cue his two burly hands began to circle Kalistha's waist. Barsh placed his chin on Kalistha's shoulder while smiling.

"Hey!" Pekik Kalistha was shocked at Barsh's sudden treatment.

"Be quiet! fifteen minutes only!" barsh whispered softly beside Kalistha's earlobe.

The grandfather gave his thumb as a sign that the style was already good. Kalistha snorted in annoyance. He was a little embarrassed as some eyes started to notice them.

But what is the power of Kalistha which is only a woman. Rebellious to defeat the power of Barsh was also impossible.

Fifteen minutes after Barsh disobeyed Grandpa, while paying attention to the painting.

"This is so beautiful, you can tell the price and please send it to this address!" barsh said while giving his business card and a penny.

"Thank you, Mister!" barsh said again after the deal between them succeeded.

Barsh again approached Kalistha who was standing not far enough away from him.

"We're home? Or eat?" barsh asked Kalistha beside him.

"I'm tired, can we go home?" kalistha answered Barsh. Barsh nodded hearing that.

"Of course!" barsh agrees to Kalistha's request. They walked back to the parking lot to find their car and went home.

~•••••••~

The exhibition was draining Kalistha's energy like it was. Too tired after the walk. Kalistha was currently asleep in the car.

Barsh smiled looking at that. Barsh lets the girl sleep until she gets to her house.

Didn't want to wake Kalistha. Barsh slowly opened the door of his car and ran towards the door of another car to open it slowly. A moment before lifting up his lover's body, Barsh looked at Kalistha's face.

Beautiful, may God allow me to take care of this man!. Barsh said in his heart, while peeping briefly but gently Kalistha's forehead and bringing her into the house.

Apparently, Arteta is watching television. The show he likes the most 'Avengers'. The sound of footsteps began to catch his attention. Arteta is shocked to see Barsh's presence at the Kalistha residence.

"Dutch girl, where's Kalistha's room?" ask Barsh. Hearing that Arteta stood up to him.

"Jeez, what are you doing?" pekik Arteta while watching Kalistha who was asleep.

"He's sleeping, where's his room, tell him!" Barsh. Arteta pointed her finger up.

"Room number two, on top!" arteta said, then sat back down to watch the television.

Barsh is a little annoyed by the behavior of Kalistha's friends. Barsh rushed to bring Kalistha up.

When she opened the door, Syena fell asleep there. Barsh lays Kalistha on the bed and leaves.

The sound of footsteps that had just descended made Arteta stand up again. Barsh in front of him.

Arteta looked seriously at Barsh who was now in the living room. Barsh noticed the gaze was a little suspicious. Arteta stands up to Barsh.

"Remember one thing, never make her cry! He's suffered enough, take care of him!" arrta said to him giving a warning.

Barsh smiled hearing that, then nodded.

"I promise you, I'll make your best friend happy. You can kill me if I deny it!" barsh told him.

Arteta nodded at the statement.

"We have night classes because of you he's exhausted! Just make me bother you!" upset Areta. Barsh laughed hearing that.

"Say she was sick today. I'm back first!" barsh leaves Arteta.
