"Are they happy?" Mervin asked as he began to accept reality. His hand carried a drink that could calm him down.
"Yes, they were very happy and they are now gone. It's time for you to find your own happiness," answered William, who was starting to get to know Mervin.
"Why doesn't Natalie ever see me and accept my love? We have been together for a long time and know each other. She even fell in love with a stranger she had just met. Is there something wrong with me?"
"You didn't do anything wrong. My mother likes a challenge, maybe marrying a foreign man is a challenge for her. I don't even know my mother's real reason. It's time you forgot my mother, if necessary burn the painting. It just keeps you going. After all, my mother has passed away, learn to open your heart to a woman who loves you sincerely."
"Are you married?" Mervin asked. William fell silent, remembering Florence where he lived.
