Belmira has lost the most significant person in her life, and for years, she has been searching for that man. Despite all efforts, she has yet to find him. Until fate brings them together again, but the man who once meant so much to her is no longer the man she once knew.
The woman had just finished her painting after spending the past week making it, and she got up from her seat with the painting to display in her mini gallery. After installing the painting, the woman whose full name was Belmira Glaucia looked at the painting of a 15-year-old boy who was smiling beautifully.
"I will definitely find you, I hope you don't forget me." Belmira said with teary eyes.
In a room measuring 20 square meters, Belmira made a special room for the paintings she has been working on so far, her hobby in painting has produced many beautiful works and is in demand by painting collectors. Most of her paintings are of smiling boys, which she named Sunshine smile.
Many collectors are very fond of her sunshine smile work, even though they don't know the intention of Belmira to continue painting it and what inspired the woman to make the painting of the boy. Some people think that the boy is Belmira's younger brother and there are some who think he is Belmira's first love, until now the woman has not told everyone who the boy is.
"Bell." Someone's call made the woman turn her head and immediately leave the room.
Belmira stepped into the dining room where one of her best friends was currently visiting, since they were already very close it was no wonder that Belmira's best friend immediately entered without knocking on her door first.
Lily and Belmira had been friends since they were in high school and separated in college after deciding to choose their dream campuses, Belmira chose to major in fine arts while Lily chose communication design. After their graduation, the two were reunited in the same field where Lily currently works as an art director at a leading company in Barcelona while Belmira is an illustrator.
Belmira's work will be posted on her personal blog, thanks to her collaboration with Lily, she has become what she is today. And Lily is also one of the people closest to her who knows who the boy in the painting is.
"What are you carrying?" Asked Belmira looking at the contents of the food package brought by her best friend named Lily.
"More tortillas."
"So what, you're not grateful that I made this food for you?" Lily said with a sarcastic look.
"Hehe that's not it, almost every day you bring tortillas to my house I get tired of eating them." Belmira replied with a wry smile.
"Don't eat them." Lily reached for her snack but Belmira snatched it back with a light laugh and promised to finish it.
"Oh yeah Bell, I heard from Gabriel."
"Information about him?" Belmira said enthusiastically.
"Of course not."
"Then what kind of information?"
"Gabriel told me that an art gallery in Madrid is currently in need of an illustrator, the salary is very high and after they saw your paintings on the blog they seem to be interested in you." Lily continued looking very excited.
"I don't want to." Belmira put her teacup on the table and walked away from Lily.
"Bel, this is a golden opportunity for you." Said Lily who did not want to give up.
"I told you before, I will never leave this town." she replied curtly.
"Because of that guy you don't want your future to materialize?"
Belmira stopped her steps and turned her body to look at her best friend Lily, Belmira took a deep breath before answering her.
"Nothing is more important than finding him, becoming an illustrator is just one of my wishes that can be realized because of him, so don't force me to leave this city again."

Triiing~
The bell rang, a customer walked into the cafe, making pairs of eyes reflexively stare at her. Curious whether or not it was already the path of human impulses that could connect its receptors and effectors.
"It's not like she's Belmira Glaucia." The visitor exclaimed when he saw Belmira enter the cafe.
"That famous painter? The one who made the mysterious painting?"
"Yes, she is very beautiful in person."
Belmira stopped her steps right in front of a barista who was guarding, she looked at the menu booths there then her choice fell on Ice blend capucino. The barista asked Belmira to wait while he was made and he was given a device that would sound when her order was finished, so Belmira chose to sit in a chair close to the cashier's desk.
"Excuse me, are you Belmira Glaucia?" Someone suddenly approached her and made Belmira nod slowly.
"I'm your fan, can I get your autograph?"
"Of course."
After Belmira gave her autograph the order was finished, she immediately left the cafe because everyone there seemed excited by her presence and did not want to make the cafe atmosphere chaotic.
Arriving at a city park, the 27-year-old woman plopped down on a park bench and sipped her capuccino ice blend slowly. Her cell phone had just rung indicating an incoming message, Belmira's hand immediately reached into her bag and glanced at the message that had just entered.
"Can you come to my place now?" -Gabriel-
Without waiting for a long time, Belmira immediately left the park and stopped a taxi to immediately go to her friend Gabriel's place, this time Belmira looked so excited because if Gabriel contacted her it meant she got a clue about the boy in her painting.
**
"Gabriel, did you find a clue?" Belmira said when she reached Gabriel's place.
"Bell, someone bought your painting for a very high price." Gabriel exclaimed while showing his computer screen which showed that someone had just bought his painting.
"So you called me here just for this?"
"About that, I apologize for not being able to find information about the boy." Gabriel's reply instantly made Belmira's expression turn sad.
Belmira sat on the sofa with a grunt of annoyance. Meanwhile Gabriel who worked as the marketing team for Belmira's paintings, checked his computer screen again.
"It might be very difficult for us to find the boy with the painting 12 years ago, we don't know what he looks like now and he might not remember you anymore." Gabriel said suddenly.
"No way, even with only 6 months with him I'm sure he won't forget me."
"Bell, look this guy wants this boy's painting." Gabriel's sudden pointing made the curious Belmira look at it immediately.
Gabriel showed the profile of the collector who had just ordered the painting, when seeing his profile picture Belmira only glanced once and returned to her seat.
"Don't you think about this collector who wants your painting?" Gabriel asked glancing at her.
"Tell him it's out of stock."
"Don't you have many in your house?"
"I'm not selling it, even if he pays a lot of money I won't sell it."
"That's a pity, he would have paid a lot for that boy's painting."
"Where is that guy from?"
"He has an address in Madrid, it's out of town."
"Madrid." Belmira said while thinking about something.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ “I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
