Chapter 24 Twenty-Three

• "You don't remember me, do you? But I, I remember everything. Everything that happened when we first met is still clear in my mind." There was a small smile on Rafael's lips as if he remembered something funny but his eyes were still on her face. "7 years ago. On the 17th day of August. That was the very first day that I saw you. You were in the park with your parents and Michael." She remembered that day. It was one of the most memorable moments of her life. "I was just on the bench right next to where you and your parents are sitting so I clearly heard what you were talking about. You were telling your parents about your dreams. You told them that you are going to be a successful and famous painter someday."
• She smiled at that memory. Yes. She told them about her dream of being a painter and she will never forget what her father told her after she told her dream. "Yes, you will be, princess. One day, that dream of yours will come true. You will be a successful painter and you will impress many people around the world."
• Her father always believed in her. He always believed in her ability and whenever she was discouraged, her father is the one who always encourages her. He always tells her not to give up and just keep on doing what she loves.
