She was visiting the fair when
she saw some paintings.
The biggest one was a
true-to-life painting of a beautiful girl.
Despite wearing sunglasses, she
instantly identified that girl in the portrait.
She knew the artist too.

He was busy with his works and customers.
"She looks like a
goddess! Is this painting of a real person?"
Everyone was appreciating that
portrait.
"Yes, she is a real
person."
"Share her contact
details please!"
"She lives in my heart and
mind!"
She realized that he still
loves her.
She was right behind… yet
another face in the crowd of his admirers.
100 Words story for the Friday Fictioneers
Who do you think she was? What happens next?
Have you ever met a talented artist?
Wishing everyone a great 2022!
I wonder if she'll be able to resist letting him know she's there
ReplyDeleteAgree with Neil here.
Delete"Yet another face in the crowd of his admirers." That sums up her difficulty, I suspect. Does she believe in herself enough to remind him of what they once shared?
ReplyDeletePerhaps she could become the one he admires as well as just an admirer...
ReplyDeleteIf she still feels something for him, she should tell him, otherwise better keep hidden.
ReplyDeleteI see this moment as a turning point in some way. Change is about to come.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and tragic at the same time.
ReplyDeleteAval avan uyirin uyir (She was his life’s life)
ReplyDeleteA very charming story of sadness with some glimmer of hope for love. Well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely story, Anita.
ReplyDeleteIf she's still single she should reveal herself.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she loved him, too. And why they are no longer together. Lots of questions that need answers :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder what would have happened if you'd had another 20 words! A lovely story nonetheless, Anita.
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteBittersweet story
Shalom,
Rochelle
Very hard for her to express her true feelings in these circumstances. Perhaps she's better off staying in the crowd. Maybe he will notice her.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why she feels the need to remain hidden...
ReplyDeleteThere is a deeper story here. You left us wondering.
ReplyDeletewas it really the artist's imagination or was he afraid to acknowledge?
