388 Not Entering the Competition


    As parents, of course Budi and Merry knew Indri’s taste, especially in finding her partner. Indri liked handsome men!


    As long as Budi and Merry could find a handsome man, Indri wouldn’t mind getting in touch with him.


    They even believed that Indri would be happy and willingly gave herself to the man.


    It’s true what they think.


    Indri was happy with the man her parents chose for her. Previously, she had been anxious for fear that she would have to deal with an ugly man. She didn’t want to have sex with an ugly man. She would be very disgusted.


    Indri was relieved that the man her parents had chosen was not bad. If not, how could she ept him?


    Merry and Budi felt very relieved when they knew that their daughter was willing to carry out their n. In fact, when the man came three days in a row, Indri was very cooperative with him.


    While this n was in progress, Indri seemed to have disappeared for three whole days. The Maheswara family also returned to peace as if they didn’t do anything.


    The cooperation between the Jaya Family and the Soetanto Family also began to run, ording to schedule. People were also getting tired of looking for news about Liam and Indri.


    .....


    Everything is going in a very good direction.


    At first, E thought that there was no way the Maheswara Family would just give up. She didn’t understand why no one acted at this time, very unusual indeed.


    But what’s the point of specting?


    Finally, she decided to focus her attention on her firstpetition. The theme of thispetition is “Spring Love”.


    E spent her time thinking about what painting to inscribe on her nk canvas. But after thinking about the idea thoroughly and painting it, E felt that something was missing.


    Luca looked at E’s painting while pondering for a moment and said, “There is no feeling in it.”


    “I know how to put feelings into this painting,” E said in frustration.


    She painted andscape in the spring. The light of the sun rose faintly in the middle of the forest, prating the leaves. The colorbination of the painting gives a beautiful color impression, making everyone who sees it interested in paying attention to it further.


    But sadly, attracting attention is not enough. Because after looking at the painting for a long time, everyone could sense that something was missing in this painting.


    As the painter, E was dissatisfied. As a connoisseur, Luca also felt dissatisfied.


    “How to give a feeling to a painting?” E asked Luca. Luca folded his arms across his chest and shook his head. “I can’t teach that kind of thing. It can onlye from your own heart. I can see that you finished this work in a hurry. How about painting it again, without feeling rushed? You still have plenty of time.”


    “The result will be the same,” E knew the extent of her ability.


    “If that’s your belief, even if you repaint it, nothing will change. Think of it as an experience. Even if the results are not good, don’t be disappointed,” said Luca.


    “I am not satisfied with this painting. I better not enter thepetition this time,” E shook her head and said it with regret.


    She wanted to do her best and produce her best paintings. But this painting wasn’t perfect so she’d better not enter thepetition.


    Luca felt surprised when he heard E’s words. He could understand what E was feeling because as a painter, he also felt the same way.


    Beingcent is not a good trait.


    He and E wanted perfection. They wanted to get better and better. Therefore, Luca was sure that E would seed.


    “If you continue to maintain that attitude, you will seed. It’s normal for humans to be not easily satisfied.”


    “Thanks for the support,” E said with a smile.


    Gettingpliments from Luca was the best thing she got after discovering her passion for painting. After all, E already considered Luca as her teacher.


    “That might be my prediction as well,” Luca said with augh.


    Eughed too. After that, she looked around and realized that the studio was different from before.


    “Brother, did you renovate your studio?”


    E looked at Luca suspiciously. Even though E knew that Luca had owned the studio for a long time and the business was running smoothly, Luca didn’t have that kind of money to carry out major renovations. Why did this studio suddenly change?


    It made E feel strange.


    Luca only smiled bitterly when he heard that question. “I have to thank you. It was Christian who put a lot of money and effort into renovating this ce.”


    “Christian?” E looked at Luca in surprise.


    She didn’t know why Christian suddenly renovated the studio. Maybe after a few times going to this ce, Christian felt ufortable with its small size so he decided to erge and remodel this studio.


    “I have to thank Christian. Because of the renovations he has done, my business has be smoother and my studio is better than before.”


    Luca looked happy so E didn’t say much.


    In the afternoon, Christian who came home from work immediately picked up E at the studio as usual. As he entered the studio, he was satisfied.


    This ce was much better than before. He thought the ce was inappropriate for E before.


    He went straight into the room where E and Luca usually spent their time painting. Inside, Christian saw the painting E made and looked at it in awe. For Christian who was not an art lover and did not understand art at all, E’s painting was a beautiful work.


    In a short time, her abilities were getting better and better, showing that she was indeed talented.


    “Your painting is beautiful,” Christian said, eyeing her intently. “What gift do you want?”


    Gift?


    E looked at Christian with her mouth hanging open. She didn’t know what to answer. Why would Christian give her a gift for her painting?


    It’s too much.


    “No need.”


    Compared to E who didn’t really care about the painting, Christian was actually very interested. “Is this a painting for thepetition?”


    “Hmm…” E nodded. “Initially, I wanted to use this painting. But something is missing and I am not satisfied with the result. So, I decided not to take part in thepetition.”


    Christian turned and looked at Luca who was beside them. Luca could only helplessly shrug his shoulders.


    It was E’s own decision and he couldn’t do anything about it.


    “What is the theme of thepetition?” Christian asked with a serious look.


    E didn’t expect Christian to ask this. She thought, Christian did not care about things like this.


    “Spring Love.”


    Christian looked at the painting one more time and then said, “The painting doesn’t fit into the theme.”


    E wanted to answer Christian’s statement, but the man’s lips had covered hers.
