23 A DAY WITH LITTLE NYO (1/2)
Madam Luo had taken Zunnie under her wings after Zunnie's mom passed away.Since Zunnie was her daughter's best friend, she had come to adore her like her own. She and Mrs. Bai were good friends from college and their daughters just like them, grew to be really good friends. Mrs. Bai had asked Madam Luo to take care of Zunnie as if she were her daughter before she died; Madam Luo kept her friend's words and became the mother figure in Zunnie's life.
As they strolled through the garden, Madam Luo couldn't help but miss her good friend.
”How is work my dear? Have you been eating properly?” Madam Luo inquired.
”Work is good. It's busy but I'm having fun. I try to eat two meals a day. I usually forget when I'm busy, but I make up for it with a good dinner.” Zunnie smiled and sat next to Madam Luo on the bench.
”That's good, that's good. Your mom would be proud of the beautiful and hard-working woman you are. I'm proud too. Come to me with anything, okay…”
”Thank you mom, I will.”
”Let's have dinner next week...”
”Mhm”
They chatted for a while longer, then headed back to the art room to see if Nyo was done. He was almost done with his drawing.
Had drew a white lily for Madam Luo who complimented his beautiful and clean work.
”Thank you little Nyo, I love it. One day you're going to become a great painter and I'll buy all your paintings.”
”I'm not going to be a painter…” a not so happy Nyo said and pouted.
”Haha…and why is that?”
”Well I like what Zunnie sis does. She helps people. Painters don't help people.”
”Oh my…you're too cute. But do you know you can also help people with your paintings?”
”Nope”
”When people buy your paintings, they will be happy. People buy paintings they like and that makes them happy and when people are happy they smile a lot. So, yes you can help people feel better with your paintings…okay.” Madam Luo explained to Nyo and pinched his cheeks.
”Ohhhh, then I'll think about it.” Nyo grinned
Both Madam Luo and Zunnie laughed seeing how unbothered Nyo seem to be.
