Art of Love
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The painting was yellowed with rounded edges. It was a masterpiece and it was lying in my hand. Wait, have I stolen it? I don't remember... Its a painting of a man and a women , both with a single tear drop on their cheeks but what baffles me is their fierce look. Overall, it seems weird to me. The elements of the painting doesn't seem to correlate. The background is yellow ; a color that symbolizes happiness. The tears on their faces and the fierce looks which objectively depicts a mix of emotions - sadness and anger. I just can't fathom out why the background was yellow.
The longer I stared at it, random images kept flashing on my mind.
A vision showed me that the woman was with another man whom she calls 'father' then it transitoned that she was beside the man in the painting - they were holding hands. Her father grabbed her towards him as he clutched both his hands on the mans' shoulders, pushing him out the open door, afterwards he slams it. The middle part of the images were hazy. What surprises me was the last part of the vision, it was lucid that it even seems so real - the father drenched in a pool of blood. There's more, there are 4 more people bathing with their own scarlet blood.
The visions baffles me more and more. Shivers crawled down my spine.
But all of a sudden, someone whispered to me. "I painted it. The background was yellow because it symbolizes they were happy to be with each other. However, the world is against them despite of this fact, they never let go. Those tears and the fierce looks go hand in hand, they are willing to do anything just to win for their love. The anger that they pour into the world and those tears that were induced by blood."
I turned around... it was the man in the painting. I was petrified.
To my surprise he placed his forehead over mine "I love you" as he kissed me on the lips as he turned into dust
