Through Your Notes

Wednesday

7.47 p.m.

I walk into the diner in my dress and heels.

I scan the diner.

But, you're not there.

I smile at the owner of the diner.

I smile to myself.

Because, you have reserved my favourite booth.

For me.

I glance at my watch.

And, I waited patiently.

8.02 p.m.

Two small boys run towards me.

They have big smiles.

They both have big blue eyes.

With blonde hair.

They even look alike.

One is wearing blue shirt. The other one is wearing red shirt

"K?" The blue shirt calls out.

I raise my eyebrows and chuckle. "Yes, that's me. How do you know who I am?"

"Because mum talks about you every day." The red shirt says.

"I'm sorry?" My voice laced with confusion. "Mum?"

"Yes." One of them says.

"I'm Nathan." The blue one says.

"I'm Alex." The red one says.

"Nice to meet you boys." I chuckle. "Where is your mum?"

"Mummy!" They both call out at the same time.

A woman in her 40s comes into my sight.

She has blue eyes. She has brown hair.

I don't know why.

Tears start to gather in my eyes.

"K?" Her voice cracks at my nickname.

"Mum."
