Chapter 11 : Coming To Terms With Oneself :

As days go by Margarita patiently tried to make Angel accept her current conditions, she showered her with love like she is her real daughter. Everyday she visit her at her room, sometimes taking her out to the garden with Rebecca's help.

Gradually......... Angel started to forget her dark past, if not for the growing life inside her tummy, she would have forgotten it completely. She started to fill her bones with meat and her usually paled face, is now radiantly beautiful and rosy.

One morning Margarita took her out and bring her into the garden, where flowers are blooming....

Margarita : hello dear... ..... we're here again. i noticed that you like flowers? Do you grow some of them at home???

Angel nodded her head while looking at all the beautiful flowers.....

Margarita : you see.... when i was younger, I used to paint all these flowers. I love painting beautiful flowers and scenery. How about you??? Do you want to learn how to paint? i can teach you how if you want.....

Angel look up at the smiling face of Margarita, she don't know how to respond. She don't know if she would nod her head or not.... But she wanted to learn how to paint...

she used to draw when she was just a young girl. her mother can draw pictures very well and she learned how to draw from her. Even her brother Angelo and Ashley knows how to draw pictures too.

When Margarita saw the confusion in her face, she smiled. She trace the line of Angel's face and said.

Margarita : Do you know that, you're face is a very good subject to draw??? you have a very exquisite face, I'm sure every painter would love to paint it.

Edward is a good painter too, he can paint very well. He knows how to sing too. When he was just a little boy, he used to paint with me. I asked him to sing me a song whenever we paint together.

If you want to learn how to paint, I'll teach you. But promise me one thing. I want to see your smiling face everyday.... would that be okay???
