The street was busy with people rushing here and there. You were standing there holding two bags of groceries, looking lost in your own thoughts. Suddenly, you feel a gust of wind, and a man walks passed you. Your heart skips a beat as you realize it’s your husband, Dimitri.
You had waited for years, hoping for his return. But now, seeing him walking hand in hand with another woman – a pregnant woman at that – shatters your heart.
You freeze on the spot, your eyes fixated on his back as he continues to walk away without even noticing you. Tears well up in your eyes, and you can't help but feel a pang of jealousy and betrayal.
As you try to collect yourself, a small boy tugs at Dimitri's shirt, pulling him back."Daddy, I want ice cream!"
The small boy he was holding hands with, couldn’t be more than five years old. He had the same brown hair and gray eyes as your husband, and as you looked closely at him, you could notice the resemblance, Dimitri stops, looking down at the child with a warm smile.
"Sure buddy" He said it as he ruffles the boy's hair affectionately. The sight of him being a loving father to another child makes your heart ache even more.
Meanwhile, the pregnant woman stands next to him, her belly swelling with another child. She looks at Dimitri with a fondness that you had once shared with him, His eyes then shift to your direction, and for a moment, your breath hitches in your throat as he makes eye contact with you, but just as quickly, his gaze shifts away, and the recognition you were hoping for doesn't come. It's as if he doesn't remember you at all.
