The paintings and installations were up. Guests started to arrive. New was busy overseeing everything. The artworks were from different contemporary artists of Asia. A little later, most of the pieces were already labeled sold. It was only after the last guests leave that he was able to go around and admire the pieces.

A painting caught his eyes. It sent shivers in his spine. It was the sunset painting with two men going separate ways. "That sunset" he murmured. He suddenly felt a burning pang in his chest. Beside the painting is another painting. The painting with a man seating on a bench alone, watching the same sunset. At this moment, New did not realize that tears were starting to fall. There was an unexplainable pain, but seeing the space on the bench surprisingly soothed a particular string in his heart.
