Chapter 89 - Who Would You Choose?
« At Hannah's Studio »
Hannah was currently painting a mountain scenery on the blank canvas inside her studio. She took the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts major in painting. She loved Arts and she was an artist.
She was good at sketching, drawing and painting ever since she was a child. Tristan also loved Arts- Visual Arts. If Hannah liked to draw, Tristan, on the other hand, liked to take pictures.
Both of them had many things in common that's why they became closer to each other during their childhood until they grew up. They also had special bonding moments wherein Tristan would take pictures of beautiful scenery while Hannah would be the one drawing and painting on the scenery on a blank canvas.
Whenever Hannah felt troubled or bothered by something she would always find ways to release her emotions and clear her mind through her art… and that was painting.
She was engrossed with what she was doing when two people entered her studio. They were Hannah's friends, Sha-Sha and Julia. The three of them became friends during their College years.
Hannah, Sha-Sha and Julia were considered the Campus Belle and Sweethearts during their time. They were pretty and charming. Certified head-turners who could catch the attention of all men in Campus.
Some also called them the 'Power Puff Girls' because they looked like sisters and always sticking together.
"We knew it! We would be able to find you here." Sha-Sha said, catching the attention of Hannah whose focus was fixed on her painting.
Hannah turned around only to see Sha-Sha and Julia who were standing by the entrance door of her studio, holding some plastic bags that contained snacks.
"We sent you messages but you didn't reply even once." Julia nagged at her, placing her hands on both sides of her waist.
Hannah let out a soft giggle before putting down her paintbrush on the table nearby. Then she stood up to greet her friends with a hug.
"Sorry, siz. You know that once I emerge in my own world then no one can disturb me. I turned off my phone."
"Alright, we forgive you." Sha-Sha said while looking at Hannah helplessly.
"Come, have a seat first." Hannah invited them.
"We brought you snacks." Julia raised the plastic bags in her hands to show Hannah.
Hannah chuckled and said, "Oh, food trip. My sister's are very thoughtful. That's why I love you both. I'm a little bit hungry too. Let's eat."
Then the three of them sat down on the long sofa located in the left side corner of her studio near the windows. There was also a small glass table in front of the sofa wherein they could place the snacks. They also brought soda as their drinks.
"How are you?" Julia suddenly asked her after they settled down on the sofa.
"I'm just fine. Why?" Hannah asked her back, wondering why Julia asked her that with a serious tone.
It was Sha-Sha who answered her. "We saw Tristan's video. We think the Davis Brothers are not in good terms right now. We are worried about you. Are you affected by the issue?"
Hannah just nodded as her response. But she didn't elaborate further.
Then suddenly Julia's giggle bubbled up in her studio. Hannah and Sha-Sha looked at her with confusion.
"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny?" Sha-Sha asked their friend while raising her brow.
"Well, I just find this situation very amusing. I have to salute our dear sister for her one of a kind beauty. She managed to get the love and affection of the Davis Brothers. I am so proud of you Hannah. Two handsome and gorgeous men are both madly in love with you. One guy is your best friend and the other one is your best friend's brother who is now your fiancee." Julia shared her thoughts with them.
Hannah's face turned red after hearing that. "Oh see, she's blushing!" Julia added, teasing Hannah.
On the other hand, Sha-Sha frowned and glared at Julia. "This is not funny. I think our friend here is having difficulty because of that. Tristan is Hannah's best friend. I believe Hannah didn't want to hurt his feelings."
"Hey, calm down. I'm just stating a fact here. Don't be so worked up. Besides, it was not Hannah's fault that the two brothers fell for her. Oh I forgot… we should blame her beauty and elegance. Haha."
"Hey don't argue, both of you." Hannah said to them.
"Oh, but I am wondering. Why is it Tristan didn't confess his feelings to you? He said he already liked you even before Andrew did." Sha-Sha blurted out randomly.
Hannah just lowered her gaze. Even she, herself, didn't know the answer to that. Only Tristan knew the reason why. But she had to admit that she was also curious about the reason why he didn't confess to her.
"Hannah, what if Andrew and Tristan confessed to you before at the same time, who would you choose? Would you still choose Andrew?" Julia threw her that question, both girls were anticipating her reply.
Hannah was taken aback by that question. She fell silent for a moment. She had the answer to that but she couldn't tell them what she truly felt.
She hated those 'what if's… because she knew she couldn't bring back the past now. And that fact made her feel down and sad in times like this.
"Hey, why are you not answering that simple question?" Julia encouraged her to speak up.
That's the time Sha-Sha pinched Julia's waist.
"Ouch!" Julia glared at her and complained, "Why did you do that?"
"To keep that blabbering mouth of your shut. Can you stop asking a question which already has an obvious answer? Don't let her confuse herself. Of course, it will be Andrew. Hannah loves Andrew and they are getting married. Why are you still asking her that?" Sha-Sha reprimanded Julia.
"Wow. Hannah, when did Sha-Sha become your spokesperson?"
Sha-Sha was about to pinch Julia again but luckily she avoided it this time.
"Hey stop that! I am just kidding! I know you are Hannah and Andrew's loyalist! But I am shipping Tristan to Hannah. Hahaha."
"JULIA?! Do you want to create more trouble?! Come here. I will give you a lot of troubles because of your blabbering mouth!"
