It is the exact mirror copy of the photo but painted.

The name of the painting was written in small fonts at the left bottom corner.

'The time my heart got stolen..'

She looked at the sixty years old painting and then at the picture that was taken yesterday.

They looked exactly similar. Not even a single detail was different. It is as if the painter from sixty years back has painted it by seeing the photo in her hand.

One could explain the similarity by saying that this is not an unique idea and could be born in the minds of many other people as well.

But what about the title?

The old woman continued to look at the painting and after God knows how long has passed, the woman let out a sigh and then left the secret room which is filled with many paintings and other antique things.

She stopped her chair at her study table and wiped the tears that brimmed at her eye rims. Then, she pressed the button on her study table and a man from before walked inside and bowed to her.

"I want this picture totally wiped away from everywhere. You have one hour to do that and keep track of the people who have got this picture.", she ordered.

"As you wish, madame.", he said and then left the room.

In one hour, Daniel, Jennifer and Ava found the picture mysteriously erased from their devices and every other backup storage.

But they couldn't suspect it because the strange virus has wiped away the data in many other people's phones as well.

That night…

Oliver reached his penthouse in a very good mood. He would have gone to the mansion but he has to go camping with Kyra tomorrow and this penthouse would be convenient for him.

He took a warm shower and sat down at his study table, thinking about today's events.

Taking his dairy, he wrote down everything.

The morning with Kyra as they enjoyed the sunrise together. The open heart conversation they had and how Kyra is slowly opening up to him…

How, his life used to revolve around the hospital and his research facility before Kyra came into his life. And how the dynamics of his life have totally changed.

His life felt more colorful and exciting. He felt like he was living his life at last…

A smile blossomed on his face and Oliver looked at a huge painting hung to his bedroom wall.

It is one of the paintings Kyra created. He bought it at the auction last week because he felt connected to it. At that time, he is not aware that Kyra is the mysterious painter, The passion.

'First Love' he muttered the name of the painting as he looked at it. Like always, when he saw that he felt as if his heart was in turmoil and at the same time he could feel the sweet connection towards it.

Mixed feelings invaded his heart.

Oliver closed his eyes and a smile reappeared on his lips as he remembered how Kyra was hiding the painting she was painting today.

But, he happened to have a glimpse of it and he found out that she is painting the moments they had yesterday.

Only if he would have seen the name she gave to it, he would be over the moon now.

"She is painting it so she could remember that moment?", he asked the question particularly to no one.

"Though she is not showing it outside, she has already fallen for me, right?", he spoke again.

However, instead of the answer, he was brought back from his thoughts by a phone call.

It's Jennifer, his best friend.

"Jenny, how come you are calling me now? Is something wrong" Oliver asked in concern. It should be early morning for Jennifer there so, of course she scared him by calling at the odd time.

"I am back, Oli. I came back yesterday.", Jennifer answered.

"Came back? And, you didn't tell me?!" Oliver questioned.

"Even if I would have informed you, you will be too busy with your girlfriend to pick me up." Jennifer complained, her voice sounding like a spoiled child.

"Daniel seems to be gossiping a lot,'' Oliver said. If not from Daniel, Jennifer wouldn't have found out.

"Leave about how I found out. The main point here to emphasise on is that, I didn't hear it from you!", Jenny said, anger evident in her voice.

"I always thought I am your best friend with whom you share everything. Seems like I am not!", she yelled.

Oliver moved his phone away from his ears and closed his eyes. Only after Jennifer stopped shouting, he spoke.

"Fine...fine. I will explain myself. Tell me where you are now. I will come…" he told her.

"I am eating at our regular hangout place." she said.

"Wait there. I got a gift for you." Oliver said and then ended the call before changing into casuals.

------

Jennifer is also a fan of Passion's paintings, so Oliver bought one for her in last week's auction.

It is not a typical large painting but a medium sized one which can be easily carried.

Taking that with him, Oliver reached the restaurant in which Jennifer is waiting.

As soon as they saw each other, they shared a brief hug and after that sat down.

"Here is the gift I told you about." Oliver said, giving it to her.

"The painting you bought last week?" Jennifer asked as she opened it.

As soon as she saw it, a smile appeared on her lips. "It's beautiful, Oli." she said in sheer delightment.

"I know you would like it." Oliver chuckled, ruffling her hair.

"Oh please. Don't try to change the topic here " Jennifer said, closing the gift box and keeping it aside carefully.

She will hang it in her bedroom later.

"Who is she? Is she someone I know?" Jennifer asked.

"No. You might not be knowing her" Oliver said.

"So, she is really your girlfriend!" Jennifer said, emphasising 'girlfriend'.

"Jealous?" Oliver asked, chuckling.

"Oh please. Why will I be jealous. I am actually pitying her for falling in love with a boring person like you." Jennifer said.

"You are calling the person on whom you once had a crush as 'boring'?" Oliver asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I once had a crush on you because I was ignorant," Jennifer said with a smile, mocking him.

Oliver shook his head, smiling at her childishness.

He has always treated Jennifer like a little sister as she is of the same age as his own sister Nora and is her best friend.

But he didn't know that Jennifer had a crush on him. He found it only after Jennifer followed him to Stanford.

She proposed to him and was broken when he rejected her right away. It took him a lot of effort to make her understand but fortunately, Sofia understood what he wanted to explain to her.

Forced love is never gonna be happy.

After that, they lost contact because Oliver graduated. Three year later, she did her residency under him and they have become best friends again.

By that time Jennifer had already moved on and was enjoying her life. She realised that sticking to the one person who is never going to be hers would do nothing but waste her time and youth.

"I want every detail now. How did you meet her, how did you realise that she is the one and most importantly, has she agreed?"
