Painting the Wall of Sins

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

(In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)

During the fest days of holiday, when Alias went back home, she was busy with her Lil Panda, painting the workshop at school. Starting by paiting all white, she began to have a though.

With only Lil Panda and her, she started to share her thought with him. Well, just to encourage him, always think not just fill in the emptiness and silence with songs.

"Lil, have you ever thought that our life is nothing like these walls?"

"Huh? Hurm..... of course, these are walls not life"

She smiled.

"If we don't like the colour, we can paint it"

"Hmm..." he looked at her curiously.

Again, she smiled.

"If we hate the drawings and footprints on it, we can paint it too"

"Yes..., true"

"Life, if we hate it, we don't like it....we can't paint it"

".........."

"Life, if there's any sour and bitter memories that we want to erase or delete, we can't just paint them"

"Hmmmm......."

"And with all the sins that I've done, I can't just paint to cover it up... sometimes I wonder, why can't life is like these walls?"

Her voice changed, no more smile. Lil Panda couldn't reply anything for the conversation was too deep for him to take on.

She kept on painting with all the thought in her mind as if all her sins were there, on the wall. Until....

"Alhamdulillah, Sis, we are done...."
