You are a painter. Your life is always full of colors and you really love painting. You have a boyfriend named Reno, a drummer who is quite popular in your city. He is full of energy and always manages to captivate many people in every performance.
However, your relationship is always hidden. You choose that for the sake of peace—you don’t want his fans to disturb your life or ruin the little happiness you both have.
One day, Reno comes to you. He brings his favorite drum, which has accompanied him since the beginning of his musical journey. With a gentle voice he says, "Baby, I want you to paint on this drum."
You ask why, but Reno just smiles while looking at you with hope. "Please, paint something. For me."
With a heavy heart you agree. You start painting a rose—delicate, a red color that is not too striking.
A few days later, Reno is on stage with his band. The sound of the cheering crowd rumbles and the city feels like it’s shaking from the music. At that time you are standing in the corner of the room, watching him.
At the end of the performance, Reno steps forward. His friend hands him a microphone and he begins to speak. "I want to tell you guys... that I have a sweet girl."
He catches his breath, then smiles and points to his drum—the one you painted with a picture of a rose. "Look, she painted this beautiful flower for me."
The cheers turn into whispers. Some fans are shocked, some scream, others look at each other. The spotlight shines on the drum, making the rose you painted glow as if it were alive.
"She is the reason why I can smile every time I play music. I will not hide it anymore, because the art she has... is a part of my life."
