Chapter 308 - Who are you to me?!

"Hmmmm! Right! But how do you handle it? I mean, suppose, if you feel you are having a panic attack, what will you do?" Rhehan tilted his head and asked her curiously.

"I think, I will talk to somebody close to me. It's better to talk it out and if I can not do that, then, I would so something which I really love. Painting is one of them!!" Elizabeth continued to paint, while answering all of his questions.

"Painting helps you?!"

"Yes! It does! You should try your hand at it too. Just paint what you feel. Every emotion, good or bad, just paint it on canvas. Make sure you paint for yourself and not for others!"

"Hmmm! Ohk! I will try definitly. Thank you for the advice. Though I did paint, while in school and I remember being pretty good at it. But later I did not continue, due to my hectic schedule." Rhehan pursed his lips, thinking about his past. He has never really had a normal hobby, like other kids, except for cooking! Which was more of a need than a hobby!

"Yes! It is tough to cope with time management. Just do it, when you are not feeling yourself. It will come automatically to you. Suppose you come back home from a very hectic schedule, then just start painting and see the magic." Elizabeth smiled, looking at Rhehan.

Rhehan smiled back and got up from his seat to have a look at what the lady was painting. There was a complete black background, dipicting night time, with a white colored shining moon. There were few small incompleted trees all around, giving the image of a forest.

"Wow! This..This is actually... actually beautiful." Rhehan gaped at the painting.

"It's not even half done. It will take time, you should not stand for that long."

"Hmmm! I should sit!" Rhehan sat down on a couch placed on the opposite side, this time looking directly at the painting and Elizabeth's back. It was soothing for him, to watch her paint.

Elizabeth started to paint the leaves of the trees, but to Rhehan surprise, she was only putting thick green dots everywhere.

He frowned looking at her. Why is she putting dots instead of drawing leaves.

Suddenly Rhehan gaped in horror at what Elizabeth did next. She lifted her left hand and stroked the dots in different directions, to give them the shape of leaves. What surprised him was that her left hand was equally fast and efficient just like her right hand. No wonder she had completed so much of the painting, already! She was an ambidextrous too, just like him!!! He had almost given up hope as to, her being able to use both the hands. But now it was proved!

Rhehan kept gaping at the lady in surprise. After quickly completing the leaves, she was painting the branches of the tree. She drew the dark lines with her left hand and shaded them with her right hand. Taking half the time!

Tears rolled down his eyes as he kept looking at her. Who are you? Are you my mother?! My aunt?! Or just nobody! Maybe my wishful thinking is making me assume things and all this is just a coincidence? If you are related to me, then why did you leave me all alone? Why would you not tell me anything! Why was I left as an orphan? Do you not love me?! Did you abondon me! Do you know how much, I have suffered in my life?!!!

Tears rolled down from his eyes at a greater speed as he looked at the woman.
