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."

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.
