William's p.o.v :-
"Mr. Chen took me to his room. He took out all the things he needed and we began to paint."
"He gave me a canvas and told me to go ahead and draw something. I looked at him a bit confused on what should I draw. So he smiled and sat on a stool beside me. He kept his hand on my shoulder"
Mr. Chen: how are you feeling right now? What is your mood at the moment? Put your feelings onto the canvas.
William: my mood....
"I thought about my day. The sweet start of my day with George, a happy breakfast with my family, classes in university, my friends, then going out for lunch with George and the conversation with Mr. Chen, it's a combination of so many emotions. I felt happy, excited, shy, funny, sad, all of them together. These feelings reminded me of someone. I smiled and started to draw something that came to my mind even though it was a blur image. As I started, I made many mistakes. But Mr. Chen helped a lot. After what felt like hours and hours of rough sketching, paint smudged on my hands and face, messy hair with my tongue sticking out to maintain my focus on the work, I came to this art piece. I don't think I can call it an art piece though. But it is the result of my hard work of like so many hours. I looked at Mr. Chen and he was in shock. He was in awe. As I was already standing, he also stood up and patted my head"
Mr. Chen: woah! It's so beautiful like a burst of colours. It's a face that holds so many emotions and all of them can be seen here. You said you don't know that much about art. You playing with me or what?
"Mr. Chen asked me with a raised eyebrow. I widened my eyes immediately"
William: no Mr. Chen--
"Mr. Chen didn't let me complete my sentence"
Mr. Chen: what did you just call me?
William: I'm so sorry. I just wanted to say that I made it beautiful because you helped me. Thanks dad! But don't you recognise the face?
"I felt very happy when I called Mr. Chen dad. He smiled proudly and hugged me. I opened up too quickly to him. He is just like my father. He broke the hug and looked at the painting once again and opened his eyes wide in shock"
Mr. Chen: that's your father! Sorry i'm getting old. So, you know....
William: what do you mean old? You're still young and you have a life ahead for you to live.
"I gasped and said this while my hand was on Mr. Chen's shoulder. Both of us got silent. And then all of a sudden we started to laugh. I noticed that Mr. Chen was genuinely happy spending his time with me. It's not only me who goes through hard time when opening up to someone. Mr. Chen stopped laughing and we sat down"
Mr. Chen: i haven't laughed like that in a long time. The last time i burst out on a joke was when i was young. Your dad was the one who cracked the joke. You are just like your father, kindhearted, humble, caring, funny. It feels like i'm talking to him.
"I smiled while listening to him. Mr. Chen's phone rang and he showed me the name of the person who's calling. He mouthed George's name but i snorted when i saw that his name in Mr. Chen's phone was saved as baby trouble maker. Cute! Mr. Chen picked up the call and put his phone on speaker."
Mr. Chen: what do you want?
George: MY MAN! You've kept him for too long. It's already 7 pm!
Mr. Chen: and who suggested that I should spend time with his man so that we can have a nice bond?
George: well, I did but that doesn't mean you can keep him for forever. I've been waiting for years for you to call me.
Mr. Chen: stop overreacting. You know William complained to me about you being an over dramatic person.
"I didn't tell him that though. But he's right"
George: what he said that? No wonder you guys match eachother's freak. Just wait for me I'm coming home.
Mr. Chen: don't bother. We don't need you now.
George: ba~
Mr. Chen: what? You're not a baby anymore stop whining.
George: ok! I'm coming.
"Suddenly the door was slammed open to which me and Mr. Chen got startled. It was George. So he was here all this time. You've done more than enough George Chen! You definitely deserve a reward. Just wait and watch. Me and Mr. Chen glared at him and he stood straight"
George: sorry ba, but can I have my man now?
"Mr. Chen looked at him. Then he looked at me"
Mr. Chen: wanna go?
