Questions

Everything went as planned. Cindy finally was at the kids’ place. While serving lunch, randomly the mother of two asked about Cindy’s hometown and Cindy chose to be quiet. The mother analyzed that Cindy was feeling a bit uncomfortable so she stopped asking questions and with a smile served her the lunch.

Photograph

While having her lunch, Cindy looked here and there so that she could get any random topic to start. They both were dealing with an awkward silence. In that process of rolling her eyes, she caught hold of a photograph placed on the table.

Consoled

Cindy had no connection with the lady, then also, she thought she had seen her somewhere. To clear her mind, she thought she had been meeting people since childhood and it might be possible that a lady similar to that of the mother crossed her path at a point of time hence her mind connected with the lady.

Remember?

It was only when Cindy’s eyes got stuck on a photograph kept on the table, the mother began asking if Cindy knew her. Cindy could hardly hear what the mother was saying and she gave up all her attention on recalling her past and the relationship she shared with the lady.

Friends?

Cindy recalled her childhood days when she was there in the orphanage. She remembered she had a friend named Emma. They used to play together and were best friends until the time Emma was taken up by a family. On this note, Cindy accumulated all her strength to ask the name of the lady.

Emma!

“Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Emma”, uttered the lady sitting beside. Cindy’s eyes widened and all she could say was, “I remember you.” On asking how she remembered her, Cindy sang a song which they used to sing together back then. Emma was all dumbstruck. She hugged Cindy tightly.
