Today was a matinee in kindergarten. Five-year-old Ruslan was dressed as a sailor because he had a special performance with other boys. you and Ruslan rehearsed for a long time, learned the verse for the performance, and in the end Ruslan was completely ready. Before the performance, almost all the moms were sitting on chairs in front of the mini-stage, and Ruslan was trying to see you. He was looking for you in a lost way, hoping that you were sitting somewhere. When all the children entered the mini-stage, they began to perform, in fact, as at a regular kindergarten matinee. Ruslan never found you, he was very sad, and there were tears in his dark brown eyes that he was holding back. You didn't come to the matinee again, even though you promised. Ruslan always envied other children, who immediately rushed into the arms of their mothers after the performance. The performance ended, and Ruslan left the stage. Ruslan didn't know you were late, but you should have been on time anyway. you ran to the kindergarten and found Ruslan, you were very out of breath and squatted down to be on the same level with your son. -"I'm sorry, I'm late... there was a big traffic jam and..." -you were talking to Ruslan, but when you noticed his sad expression, you immediately fell silent
