Cindy Davis had never expected to be so
0:02
surprised her husband had given her a
0:05
painting in the 70s that he made himself
0:07
but this turned out to not be just any
0:09
old piece of art
0:11
which he found out the secret her
0:12
husband had hidden in this painting it
0:15
went from Surprise to surprise
0:17
Cindy and Paul Davis met in high school
0:19
they were each other's first loves and
0:21
had never been in a relationship with
0:23
anyone else
0:24
because they met at a young age they
0:27
knew everything about each other at
0:29
least that's what Cindy thought it later
0:31
turned out that Paul had kept a few
0:33
Private Affairs from her but it would be
0:35
years before these secrets came to light
0:37
at the time Paul had a job as a
0:40
businessman and often ate out all week
0:43
long he would have lunch with business
0:45
partners and clients Cindy didn't have
0:47
an issue with this she was used to it
0:49
what did upset her was that Paul seemed
0:52
to be going out to lunch with one person
0:54
more and more frequently
0:56
her husband had been going out to lunch
0:58
with a beautiful blonde woman for the
0:59
past few weeks and hadn't said anything
1:01
to Cindy how did she know one of her
1:04
best friends worked in Paul's favorite
1:06
restaurant nothing got past her she
1:09
decided to confront him one day when
1:12
Paul got home from work Cindy was
1:14
standing there waiting for him she got
1:16
straight to the point and demanded that
1:18
he'd tell her about this mysterious
1:19
blonde woman
1:21
Paul denies everything he says the
1:23
blonde woman is an important client at
1:25
his company
1:26
the lunches purely business related
1:28
according to Paul that is
1:30
Cindy's friend also said that there was
1:33
nothing romantic about the meals the two
1:34
share together in any case they had kept
1:37
their hands off each other whenever she
1:39
was around
1:40
all she could do was believe what her
1:42
husband said but something was still
1:44
bugging Cindy shortly thereafter came
1:47
Valentine's Day
1:48
neither Cindy nor Paul had ever showed
1:51
much interest in the holiday
1:53
it was more important to them to be
1:55
loving to each other every day and not
1:57
just once a year
1:58
Cindy had no idea that this Valentine's
2:01
Day would be different than the rest
2:02
when Paul came home that day Cindy was
2:05
shocked in his hands he had not one not
2:09
two but five enormous balloons in the
2:12
shape of a heart he also had a huge
2:14
bouquet of roses which he gave to his
2:16
wife
2:17
Cindy didn't know what to say
2:19
why was he doing all this
2:21
sorry that I've been so busy lately
2:23
because of this I haven't had enough
2:25
time for you Paul explains I love you
2:28
things have been going really well at
2:30
work for the past few months this was a
2:33
good thing but it also led to lots of
2:35
stress and fatigue this meant Paul
2:37
couldn't be the partner if you wanted to
2:39
be Cindy gave her husband a firm hug and
2:42
a loving kiss she understood it
2:44
completely she loved being pampered by
2:46
Paul but the bouquet in balloons weren't
2:49
the only surprise Paul asked Cindy to
2:51
turn around while he went to get
2:53
something out of the shed in the yard he
2:55
spent a lot of his free time in here it
2:57
was his domain so Cindy hadn't been out
3:00
there in a very long time
3:02
she was more than curious to find out
3:04
what surprise awaited her when she was
3:06
finally allowed to turn around Paul
3:08
stood in a living room with a beautiful
3:10
painting it was self-painted Masterpiece
3:12
on the canvas was a painted version of
3:15
their most beautiful wedding photo
3:17
Cindy knew that Paul was a good painter
3:19
but the fact that he had done this
3:20
painting by himself he had clearly put
3:23
lots of work and love into it the years
3:25
flew by Paul and Cindy are incredibly
3:28
happy in their marriage their two sons
3:31
grew up moved out and started their own
3:33
little families
3:34
Cindy is more than content with her life
3:36
even though nothing that exciting ever
3:38
happens the painting Paul had made for
3:41
her home in a living room wall all these
3:43
years
3:44
for 50 years the painting hung in Paul
3:46
and Cindy's home all these years Cindy
3:49
had no idea that there was a secret
3:51
hidden in the painting but after all
3:53
this time the painting secret would be
3:55
revealed it would explain a lot fate was
3:58
not on their side Paul becomes ill
4:01
things go downhill quickly before they
4:03
know it Paul can no longer get out of
4:06
bed the doctor pays them a visit and
4:09
says that unfortunately there is nothing
4:11
he can do for the now senior citizen
4:13
Paul he doesn't have much time left
4:15
the doctor tells him to get to the
4:17
hospital as quickly as possible so they
4:20
can take care of him there things don't
4:22
improve once they get to the hospital
4:23
after a few days Paul ends up in the ICU
4:27
while doctors do their best to get Paul
4:29
feeling better nothing works Cindy's
4:32
husband has no more than a few days to
4:34
live with a secret die with him Cindy
4:37
contacts both her sons and gives them
4:39
the sad news
4:41
she suggests they both come to the
4:43
hospital as quickly as possible to say
4:45
goodbye to their beloved father they'd
4:48
promise to drop everything and be there
4:50
soon it's an emotional day Cindy and her
4:53
two sons love Paul with all their hearts
4:55
for years they were able to enjoy each
4:57
other's company but this is now coming
4:59
to an end none of them know that Paul
5:02
has been holding on to a secret all
5:04
these years something to do with the
5:06
painting that he gave to Cindy five
5:08
decades earlier Cindy holds her
5:10
husband's hand until the very end she
5:13
hates seeing the love of her life suffer
5:14
so it was a relief for both of them when
5:17
the suffering ended but before this Paul
5:20
confesses that he has been holding on to
5:21
a secret all these years Cindy is
5:24
shocked of course after living with
5:27
someone all this time and thinking you
5:29
know them through and through to then
5:30
find out that the person has been hiding
5:32
something from you
5:34
she looks at her husband in shock he
5:36
tells her that she needs to take a good
5:38
look at the painting
5:39
Cindy doesn't get any further
5:41
explanation
5:42
Paul passes away and leaves Cindy alone
5:45
in the hospital room once she got home
5:47
with tears still litter eyes Cindy takes
5:50
the painting off the wall she blows off
5:52
the dust that has collected on top of
5:54
the frame and turns the painting around
5:56
a few times she doesn't see anything odd
5:59
but on his death pure husband had told
6:01
her to take a good look at it she
6:03
decides to call in the help of an art
6:05
historian from a local Museum
6:07
she tells the Mander story who
6:09
immediately came to pick up the painting
6:10
for further research
6:12
from the goodness of his heart the art
6:14
historian decides to use his tricks of
6:16
the trade on a painting done as a hobby
6:18
instead of on truly historical artworks
6:20
for once
6:22
the following weeks are extremely hard
6:24
on Cindy she's mourning the loss of her
6:26
husband and at the same time is waiting
6:29
on a call from the museum to pass the
6:31
time she goes on lots of walks and
6:33
visits her children frequently she looks
6:36
back melancholically on the beautiful
6:38
marriage she had but still the secret of
6:40
the painting stays on her mind
6:42
what could her husband have kept a
6:44
secret from her all those years
6:46
and why didn't he tell her when he was
6:48
alive what is something he was ashamed
6:51
of then the phone rings that historian
6:53
has finally uncovered the painting
6:55
secret Cindy rushes to the car once she
6:58
gets to the museum her eyes go wide the
7:01
art historian walks her past the grand
7:03
Masters on their way to see her beloved
7:05
Paul's painting what did he discover in
7:08
a back room the painting is already set
7:10
up all around it are numerous tools and
7:13
products that are all new to Cindy it's
7:15
clear that the historian has taken his
7:17
work seriously all that just because of
7:20
her story then that historian reveals
7:22
the secret the art historian takes Cindy
7:25
over to the painting and clears his
7:27
throat then he tells her that he found
7:29
the secret it was hidden under the layer
7:31
of paint all this time according to the
7:34
expert Paul hid something 50 years ago
7:36
by painting over it he says there's only
7:39
one way to uncover the secret taking the
7:41
pain off the expert reassures Cindy he
7:44
was able to discover where the secret is
7:46
in the painting she only has to scrape
7:49
off one small corner he gives her a
7:51
paint spatula to scrape it off her honor
7:54
Cindy scrapes off the paint and sees
7:56
something unbelievable underneath the
7:58
paint on the canvas itself is something
8:01
written in her beloved one's handwriting
8:03
but it's not a love letter no confession
8:06
or other text numbers are scrabbled onto
8:09
the canvas Cindy looks at the art
8:11
historian in Surprise who is now also
8:13
hunched over to see what is written
8:15
there
8:16
are those coordinates the expert asks
8:19
Cindy takes another good look indeed
8:22
they look like coordinates but why would
8:24
her husband cover up coordinates
8:26
underneath a painting as far as she
8:28
knows he was never that interested in
8:30
Maps navigation or pathfinding Cindy
8:34
takes the painting home and decides to
8:36
inspect this mystery from top to bottom
8:38
with the help of the internet Cindy
8:40
discovers that the coordinates lead to a
8:42
spot in a park close to her house
8:44
she decides to go there and takes a
8:46
shovel with her just in case she often
8:49
takes walks in this park and has never
8:51
noticed anything odd so it must be
8:53
something invisible to the naked eye
8:55
just to be safe Cindy leaves a note on
8:58
the table to explain where she's going
8:59
and what she's doing there
9:01
you never know what you're getting
9:03
yourself and when you decide to make
9:04
your way to coordinates that were hidden
9:06
50 years ago under a layer of paint
9:09
on her way to the park Cindy's
9:11
imagination runs wild what was she going
9:14
to find in the spot that the coordinates
9:16
that were hidden under a layer of paint
9:18
lead to
9:19
why hadn't he said anything to her while
9:21
he was still alive
9:23
do you have a dark secret or was it
9:25
something to do with a blonde woman she
9:27
was so jealous of all those years ago
9:29
she hadn't thought about the woman for
9:31
years but now that she was on her way to
9:33
solve the mystery she came back into her
9:35
thoughts she would soon find out what
9:37
her husband had kept a secret
9:39
once she arrived at the location Cindy
9:42
double checked the coordinates once more
9:43
this was the spot she didn't see
9:46
anything strange around her green grass
9:48
acorns here and there a forgotten pile
9:51
of dog poop typical things you find in
9:54
the park
9:55
underneath the large oak tree Cindy puts
9:58
the shovel in the grass despite her age
10:00
she was still quite fit so a bit of
10:02
visible labor wasn't going to deter her
10:05
thankfully there was no one else at the
10:07
park she would have surely gotten some
10:09
weird looks
10:10
at around half a meter down Cindy runs
10:12
into something hard Cindy digs around
10:15
the hard object slowly she can see the
10:17
Contours of a red metal chest the chest
10:20
is extremely heavy there's a padlock on
10:23
it making it impossible to open the
10:25
padlock seems to unlock using a
10:28
combination of four numbers but one of
10:30
the correct four numbers the mystery
10:32
wasn't over yet Paul hadn't made it easy
10:35
for her then she thinks of something
10:37
Cindy realizes that she obviously knows
10:40
the code to open up the padlock
10:42
she had found the chest after following
10:44
the coordinates that were hidden under a
10:46
layer of paint the paint was part of a
10:48
painting that Paul had made recreating
10:51
their favorite picture from their
10:52
wedding
10:53
the combination to the padlock was of
10:55
course their anniversary
10:57
Cindy enters the numbers with success in
11:00
the chess there was a letter
11:02
tears raced on her cheeks as she began
11:05
reading it on the paper it read in
11:07
Paul's handwriting the following Dear
11:10
Cindy if you're reading this I'm already
11:12
gone well I always want to be with you
11:15
there will come a day when one of us has
11:17
to leave the other
11:18
maybe someday I'll be forced to dig up
11:21
this chest and you'll never read this
11:23
letter but for in the case that I leave
11:24
you I'm writing you this letter
11:27
last week you confronted me about the
11:29
fact that I was going out to lunch with
11:31
a blonde woman pretty often
11:33
you were afraid that I was having an
11:34
affair while this is not the case I did
11:37
lie to you this woman is not an
11:39
important client
11:40
this blonde woman is a representative at
11:43
our bank I wanted to ensure that if you
11:45
ever have to experience the pain of loss
11:47
this is the only pain you will ever have
11:50
to suffer from again
11:52
you know that last year as I'm writing
11:54
this my mother passed away she left me a
11:57
large sum of money which I have put in a
11:59
special safe that will be kept at our
12:00
bank on top of this sum I will add money
12:03
to the safe every month for as long as I
12:06
live in this chest you will find a key
12:09
next to the letter
12:10
show this key to an employee at the bank
12:12
and he'll give you access to the safe
12:14
love your Paul
