Mhm. Right. Mhm. Mhm. My name is Fabian. Who do you see in the mirror? I would give a different answer to this question years ago when it comes to mirrors, I used to say things like a simple and misleading item invented in the last century. After all, a beautiful lady doesn't want to see how badly she treated her servant when she looks in the mirror or the shadow of her hooked nose on her face. But a painting can give you a real person as a good portrait painter. I didn't believe the mirrors reflect reality. So I changed people's minds with the paintings I drew. Have you seen the paintings of Fabian? It was as if he was taking a breath from a person sold and blowing on his canvas. Everyone was saying the whole world knew me and my paintings, but after time I realized that I lost myself as I drew other people. So after a great nervous breakdown, even hysteria, I locked myself in my house. I didn't want to paint or see people until I saw that mirror in Miss Sophia's antique shop. There was a very old and precious mirror in the window. I bought it and looked at myself for days. Who was I? What were my flaws? What kind of person did I become? Let me be clear. I understood once again that no one can see their true self when they look in the mirror, I was angry, I smashed it to pieces as if trying to take all my anger out on the mirror. I sat on the floor and oscillated between regret and relief. Just then on one of the broken mirror pieces, I saw a note for Ursula Miller Cruz Ebay 18 66. When I saw this note, I immediately regretted breaking the mirror. I needed to find that woman named Ursula to apologize and pay off my debt before I set off everyone I knew tried to block me. That's because Cruise bay, written in the mirror was in the middle of the Caribbean sea and hundreds of people had lost their lives because of the hurricanes there over the years. I didn't even care despite the storm. I got on a ship and went to Cruz Bay. I had all my painting materials ready with me after all. For the first time in a long time I had a great desire to draw. When I arrived at Ursula Miller's house. Everything I had dreamed of shattered like that mirror. Ursula Miller died in one of the great hurricanes years ago, her husband Herbie Miller was left alone in a huge house. Mr Herbie, who was in love with his wife was now like the living dead. All he did was sit in front of the painting of Ursula Miller and drink afternoon tea as if she was there just as they had done over the years with great sadness. I told mr Herbie what had happened and apologized then with his shoulder slumped, he answered without raising his head. I've lost that mirror the day the hurricane came, just like Ursula. I even got sadder mister Herbie, please help me make amends to you! I begged. There was a long silence. Mr Herbie was staring at the painting on the wall in the darkened living room with thick curtains. He was startled suddenly as if waking up from a dream. Then after looking carefully at my face, this painting doesn't look like Ursula at all. You know she doesn't look like that. She doesn't even smile. But my Ursula was always smiling. I understood Mr Herbie so well so I said I can paint a picture of your wife if you want. I continue the conversation with growing excitement. I want you to tell me about Ursula, mr Herbie every detail, even the little lines on her cheeks when she smiles or what color her curls were. And I will draw you the real Ursula. What do you say? Mr Herbie took a sip of the chilled tea in the porcelain cup he said. I don't think it can get any worse than this. Looking up at the painting on the wall, I stayed with mr Herbie for weeks. He was telling I was drawing for the first time in years. I felt like I was really painting. Mr Herbie was excited as if he was going on a first date with his wife. Months later I completed the painting. I could see Mr Herbie's chin trembling as he looked at the painting. He had risen from the chair with such excitement that for a moment I felt the energy of a young Herbie. He raised his finger, pointed it towards the painting and searched for the right words for a while. Finally his voice trembled and he began to speak. Look Mr Fabian, let me introduce you to the real Ursula miller now, you know why I fell in love with her, right? Mhm. Happiness is a choice.
