Chapter 9 Mansion
"Aidan, can you help me to bring this to my desk?"
I who pensive at that time shocks when my name was called. I look at Mr. Razak and he pointing towards he stuff to get help. I just nods and help him.
"Are you okay, Aidan? You look lost while I'm teaching today." He ask while we are walking down the stairs.
"Huh! No no. I'm fine, sir. There's nothing wrong with me." I deny his statement.
"I know my students. Nobody can lie to me." He grins.
"Please, Aidan. If there's any problem, you can talk to me. I'm open to my students if they got any problem." He added.
"I just thought I'm making a mistake. Do you remember the gift you gave me last time?"
He nodded. "Why?"
"I think your brush is magical. It can make dreams come true."
He smiles.
"Aidan, no matter what our decision is. There will be a consequences. It's either bad or good, we have to accept it."
I frowns, little too advance for me to understand.
"But what you gave me last time, it's a magical brush. I think I already misused it."
"It's a brush. You are the one who control it. It follow what ever you do. But I want you to use this brush as best you can, Aidan. But beware, you must be careful using it.”
______________________________________
The words from Mr.Razak that day ringing in my head. I still can't understand what Mr. Razak try to convey through his words. But I think I already could take a guess from it.
I returned to the real world when I heard my mom's strong voice. She looked excitedly while waiting for me to start drawing. She's my mom, I wanted to do my best for her.
I just obey her request. I walk a little far from my house while holding the magazine that Arifi threw at me. It's going to be a big house, and I need to go a little further.
I took a step, I guess around 100meter from my house just to draw it. When I am satisfied with the distance, I stopped.
Then I raise my hand along with the brush that I am holding. I took a peek at the picture of the mansion that was in the magazine earlier and begin to draw. This is literally a big challenge for me. I don't know how it will turn out.
I whishing my brush in the air and miraculously, the brush produces its own ink. It floated in the air in front of me. Every little movement, pressure effect the drawing. It needs to be perfect and flawless.
I'm sweating doing this. It's really took a lot of energy since I need to take a look at the picture and then draw it on the air. There is no delete or eraser button on it. One single mistake, I need to redo.
I need to hold my breath whenever I have to draw a perfect line. It's a tedious work, but I have to draw the mansion diligently and meticulously. My family just watches from a distance with impatient faces. Mom looked restless as her feet stomped on the ground greedily.
"How long it takes, Aidan? I can't wait."
She can't be patient anymore. She really can't wait to have a big and luxurious house. I don't want answer my mom's question. I need to focus and carefully draw the picture of the house. I did not want any defects in the house. Later, I'll be the one who needs to redraw.
"Be patient, honey. It's almost ready." My dad who saw his impatient wife tried to calm her down. He was also really impatient, but he also knew that it was not easy to draw a picture of the house. They returned to see me who was diligently drawing the picture.
After half an hour, finally I manage to complete it. Mom and dad can't wait since he saw the image of complete house floating in air.
But there is still one problem, It is empty and colorless. Ain't it weird if the house is colourless. So I decided to put some colour on it.
I then close my eyes and thought about the color blue. I don't know whether it's work or not, but why not.
I move my brush towards the wall and make a movement up and down. Magically the color of the brush changed it's colour into blue.
I am amaze at the magic of this brush. By imagining it, anything could happen.
It's not only me, but all the eyes that saw it were also amazed by the magic of the brush.
"Hmm... I don't like blue. Can you change it to pink colour. It's going to be beautiful." Ask Mom's as soon she's saw I've colour the wall in yellow colour.
"Pink? Are you kidding me,mom? This is not a barbie house. Not beautiful at all."
Intan who has just return home heard that mom's want a pink colour home makes her disgust. Mom just snickers to her.
Intan, she's rarely stays at home. Usually I can see her face at home like five to six times per month. I rarely had a conversation with her. But what I know that she's had a list of boyfriend.
"Eww, Mom, the pink is super ugly. Makenit black. Black color is beautiful. A dead black color like a BMW car is beautiful." Add Arifi who now already sit outside of the house.
"Black? Oh lord no. Not pretty. It's like the house of the dead." Mom added.
I just completely ignore what they said. I have to focus and diligently colour the house with the colours that playing in my head.
"Let Aidan take care of this house. Such small things do not need to be thought about." Dad's words silenced them all. Yes, Dad is not to intervene about the color of the house. For him as long as it is a big and luxurious house, it is enough.
In less than 10 minutes, I have completed painted this beautiful picture of the mansion. The color of this house is also beautiful. Blue and white colors, make it like everyone's dream house.
"Hmm... Can everyone step aside?"
Everyone quickly followed my words. Can't wait to see their dream home come true. I then took a deep breath. I'm a bit worriy that this is not going to work. I already spent almost an hour to finish this.
This is the first time that I painted something really big. I slowly push the picture towards my old house. The drawing starting to moving in the air and it sparkles in the air. This is really magnificent to watch
And the miracle happen. My old house now change to a luxurious three-story mansion. With a white blue painted walls, there's balcony, stairs, and the design is really modern.
The whole family screaming with joy witnessing this magical occasion. Mom almost crying and hugging dad. She's then running towards her new home and kissing the entrance that now twice bigger than her.
She's excitedly open the door and walk in. Their face stuns after seeing the design and interior of the house. The space is spacious enough to be compare than my last house.
"Wow... This is a big house. Really damn big."
I also amaze by what I see. All of this happened by using a brush. It's sound supernatural but yeah it's happened.
But the miracle is not only there, all the old furniture is still in the same position. I'm happy seeing the result.
"Later we have to throw away all this furnitures. Just spoils the view.” Said mom.
